ROTARY CONFERENCE
[Pee United Press Association.) TIMARU, February 27. At the evening sitting of the Rotary Conference Sir Alexander Roberts gave an address on the foundation and growth of Rotary from 1905, when the movement emanated from the brain ol Mr Paul Harris, of Chicago, up to the present time. There were, he said, 3,733 clubs in the world, with a total membership of 155,000. Mr E. Hitchcock (Christchurch) spoke on the ethics and philosophy of Rotary, referring to' its executive responsibility. He affirmed that Rotary could demonstrate that its status in the community, its particular social grade of material, its varied resources and contacts could all be consecrated in deed and in truth to placing service above self. What limits, then, could be placed to its possible service to the community? He implored all clubs and members to give greater support to tho League of Nations and its ideals. Why they had not done so to a greater extent in tho past would remain to him a perpetual Rotary mystery.
