Aids To Students
By Rotary Told
The Rotary Foundation was the
subject of several talks given be
fore the Rotary Club here at its
luncheon meeting Tuesday at the
49 Room.|
Two speakers, Dr. Bob Johnson
and Dr. A. Holmes Johnson were
introduced by Morris Burnham,
Chairman of the committee in the
local club. The first speaker out
lined the history of the Founda
tion program by which fellowships
are granted deserving students by
which they attend universities in
foreign countries. The program
was started in 1917, and in 1938 it
was planned to raise $2,000,000 for
the purpose. The plan was cut
short by World War II, but was re
vived again in 1945. Paul Harris,
founder of Rotary, was a great ad
vocate of the project, and in 1947,
18 fellowships were granted in his
honor. Idea of the fellowships,
Johnson said, was to provide young
students with an insight into how
other people lived.
The senior Dr. Johnson provided
some iater data on the Foundation, .
stating that fellows are now found
in 35 countries, and a total of 95
men and 40 women participate in
•these fellowships. The students, he
said are chosen because they are
•leaders in their schools, and must
be above moral reproach. “It is
one of the best means there is in
the cause of world peace,” he
stated.
The students are given grants to
talling from $1,325 to $4,000. More
than $8 million has been contrib
uted into the fund, he said.
He pointed out that Kodiak was
one of the first to become a 100 per
cent club, judged on the contribu
tions made by the clubs comprising
Rotary International. It is now a
200 per cent club, and is working

For 1962...an all-new kind of Ford!
the car that's just right for just about everybody
rightsize... right price...
You’ve never seen anything like it, because there’s never
been anything like it . . . until today. On the outside
the new Ford Fairlane 500 measures a quick 197 inches
from stem to stern. A good foot shorter than the cars
from which it borrowed its name, it calls the snuggest
parking places home. At the same time, on the inside
the new Fairlane 500 is every inch as big as some of the
biggest Fords ever built.
The new Fairlane 500 is priced way under previous
Fairlanes, well under many compacts. But Fairlane
economy doesn’t stop with a pretty price tag. It runs
to amazing gas savings—with the world’s first economy
V-8 or the nickel-nursing Fairlane Six. Routine service
is reduced to a minimum—30,000 miles on many items,
only twice a year or 6,000 miles on the rest. And it
adjusts its own brakes.
