High Ideals Of Rotary Extolled Tuesday
By Dist. Gov. Dr. A. Holmes Johnson
Dist. Gov. “Doc” Dr. A. Holmes

44 Rotary Clubs in his district

The Kodiak physician said, “Ro

ship. It consists of all creeds, all
races, all political faiths. A Ro
tarian has respect for every man’s
religion and does not try to change
his beliefs.”
“In our one world isn’t that an
effective thought for an interna
tional organization, and isn’t this
an indication that Rotary Interna
tional can be the institution that
can best influence the peoples of
the world toward a just and lasting
peace in a world where the dignity
and freedom of the individual,
with justice and love for all, can
bring us, ultimately, to the nearest
approach to heaven on earth?” the
District Governor asked.
WHAT IS HAPPINESS?
Dr. Johnson inquired, “After all,

attendance trophy in peril as the
Mission City Rotary Club had a

October, while the local club was
in second place with 97.24 per
cent attendance.
The Kodiak Rotarians had two
perfect attendance record meet
ings in October and as a result

among the 45 clubs in the district.
The Kodiak Rotary won the dis
trict attendance trophy last year.

faction? Is it money? Is it success?
Is it position? These all help the
ego but they cannot bring deep
seated content. It is most satisfy
ing to man to be of service iO
others, and the more, we, each one
of us, does this, to the forgetful
ness of self, the more realization
we have of being right and honest,
and we gain that inner glow of
true contentment.”
“That is why Rotary, with its
emphasis on the ideal of service,
with its insistence on ethical

Ford ideas so contagious
they started a new trend in cars I
If you think today's cars have a lot in common, credit
the Ford sketches above. For these ideas sparked a
revolution in car design that's reflected wherever you
look on the American road.
Ford ideas have a habit of being exciting—practical,
too. Consider the innovations found only in our '63s.
There is Ford Calaxie's smooth new velvet ride. It
cost Ford $10 million to bring it
to you, but costs you not a
penny extra to enjoy. There is
Ford's full tvvice-a-year or 6,000-mile maintenance*
schedule that cuts service worry and expense to a
minimum. There's a new manual transmission that
lets you shift down from second to first without
coming to a stop. And for '63, there's the biggest
choice of models ever offered—44 in all!
Only Ford offers all these advantages now. Other
cars will eventually catch up—but
you can't wait, here's a tip.
