Forum Is Held
On Rotary Policy
A forum on club service and
conducted by Dr. Bruce Keers con
stituted the program at the Rotary
Club luncheon Tuesday noon at
the 49 Room.
Members of the group spoke
on various phases of the organiza
tions activities. Topics discussed
mainly were membership, class
ifications, and attendance. A
clause in the Club’s bylaw calling
for a six months residence in the
City before membership could be
offered received considerable dis
cussion. It was suggested this
period could be shortened by
the Board of Directors voting
waiving the length of time re
quired.
The Club strives for member
ship attendance at all meetings.
This was questioned as a good
policy, as it discourages good
members from joining due to the
nature of their work. The majority
felt it was best to stress it.
Guests attending the meeting
were Ray Debenham, Clifford
Naim, Bud Duhamel and student
member, Bob Richmond.

HI CHEVY
□I TRUCKS
WITH WORK-PROVED
INDEPENDENT FRONT SUSPENSION!
Chevy's '61 fleet swings in with a ready
made reputation as the trucks that are
worth more because they work more . . .
the latest editions of the haulers that
scrapped the I-beam axle and
proved the important advantages
off independent front suspension!
You'll find new models for ’61—long
wheelbase 4-wheel drive units—and
thoughtful refinements throughout the
line. But the big news for ’61 is nailed
down proof (based on owner reports) that
Chevy’s torsion-spring design is the best
thing that’s happened to trucks in decades!
With Chevy’s independent front sus
pension and Sturdi-Bilt design, you cruise
over trails where other trucks creep. You
feel the difference in less wheel fight and
vibration. You can see why drivers are
happier, why loads are better protected
and why the truck itself will stand up
to thousands of miles of more work. That
goes for any size Chevy, too—pickups,
tilt cabs, tandems, all of them.
Check the latest specs with your Chev
rolet dealer: capacity, power teams,
options. Then, by all means, drive a ’61.
Once around the block and you’ll never be
satisfied with a front axle truck again!
WORTH MORE BECAUSE THEY WORK MORE!
