Wansbrough-Jones told the committee.\u201cThe intention is that eervice, nd non-service scientists from j he Dominions shall work together; 'n that single establishment, feed-] big in both on the defence science! nd on the official civil science ide.\u201d Lt.-Gen.Sir S.Kirkman.deputy; diief of the Imperial General; Staff, testified that already a; working party of Dominions' liai-1 son officers in London had attend'd United Kingdom army meet-; in g» to consider new weapon-.\"I always have the views of each Dominion representative on each' ; ingle weapon we consider and I their views often conflict with ours.: oarticularly in the case of Canada,\u201d Kirkman said.(War Office spokesmen said they ] could not explain why Anglo-Can-' adian views should be particularly; in conflict.Other sources raid i Canada has attempted to fit de- ; fence equipment with that of the ! United States as well as Britain and favors standardization.This is likely to make her more critical of new weapons than other Dominions.)

P Harris was the founder of Rotary.Ho was horn in Racine, Wiscon-«in, on April 19, 186S, and when he was throe years old he was taken to Wallingford, Vermont, to live with his paternal grandparent.The TPaok River Academy at Ludlow, Vermont, and Vermont Academy at Saxtons River prepared him for his studies at the University of Vermont, Princeton University and the University of Iowa, Following his graduation from the law school of the University of Iowa in 1891, he determined to spend the next five years in seeing the w rid and in coming to know his fellow men before settling down to practice law in Chicago.He worked as a reporter on newspapers in San Francisco and Denver, was a teacher in a Los Angeles business college, worked on a California fruit farm and in a raisin-packing factory, was an actor in a Denver stock company and a cowboy on a Colorado ranch.Tl eo he went to the southern part of th< 1 United State» where he picked 1 oranges in Louisiana and traveled extensively as a salesman for a ruarbie and granite concern.He made two trips to F.pgland working on cattle boats and later traveled to Europe to visit the granite regions of Scotland and the marble legions of Ireland.Belgium and Italy for his company.These five years of knock-about experience* broadened his vision and the acquaintances which he made in college and on these travels were of material assistance in the early ex-! tension of Rotary.In 189fi his five-year period of wandering was over and, as he had planned.Paul Harris went to Chicago to practice law.One day in U.Klfl he di'.ed with a lawyer friend in Rogers Park, a residential section of Chicago.After dinner he took a walk with his friord and was impressed by the fact that his friend stopped at several stores and shops in the neighborhood and i'aul P.Harris Success To THE 16TH ANNUAL ROTARY FAIR \u2014 Lighting the Way to Happiness \u2014 R0SS-B9R0N ELECTRIC LIMITED 17 Frontenac Street ÜFl I Sherbrooke Rotary Club Member: P.G.BIRON introduced him to the proprietors, who were his friends.Paul Harris'; law dienls were business friends, not social friends, but this experience set him to wondering why he j ! couldn't make social friends out] I of at least some of his business j friends\u2014ami he resolved to or-ganixe a club which would band i together a group of representative I business and professional men in 1 friendship and fellowship.For the next several years he devoted a great deal f time to reflection on conditions of life and business and.by 1905, be had for-n ulated a ieifinite philosophy of j business relations.Talking it over I with three of his law clients\u2014Sil-] vester Schiele, a coal merchant, G us ta vus Loehr, a mining engineer, and Hiram Shorey, a merchant tai-, lor\u2014he decided, with them, to or-; ganize the club which he had been | planning \u201eince 1900.On Febraury 123, 1905, the club\u2019s first meeting took place and the nucleus was formed for the.thousands of Rotary clubs which were later organized throughout the w\u2019orlu.The new club, which Paul Harris named \u201cRotary\u201d because the members met, in rotation, in their various places of business, met with general approval and club membership grew Continued on Page 12 Success To The Rotary Fair!

Guernsey.Lok for no foundation-shaking changes from Ken.Rotarily, he | could perhaps best be described as ! a \u201cfundamentalist.\u201d He is by no | means against change if that j change is progress\u2014but he believes ! sincerely that Rotary was well I founded, that its principles are right as they stand, that we can grow without altering them.I have told how Ken started his business career\u2014and here I turn to another of his five loves\u2014in a hardware store in Orlando.Selling out profitably in 1922, he filled the next 20 years to the brim with real-estate and investment business, handling his own extensive properties in the Orlando area.Besides, he served as president of one bank and director of another, president of a successful chemical manufacturing firm, and joint owner of a fine hotel.Today as I have also noted, Ken is an officer of the Gulf Life Insurance Company, which sells more insurance in Georgia and Florida than any other company and enjoys an average income of more than S3C0,000 a week.Vice-President Guernsey\u2019s special duty is investment.During his five years in this position, assets of his company have increased more than 18 million dollars.Ken\u2019s industry has honored him his year, by the wav, with the vice-presidency for Florida of the American Life Convention.\u201cCome and tell my Club about it,\u201d Ken said one day in 1921 after I had told him a bit about the Chil-dren\u2019s Home Society of Florida which I head.I went, and ever after Ken and the Orlando Club invited me back for an annual appearance.Asked to serve on the ! Society\u2019s board, Ken said he\u2019d be happy to if we thought he could help.That was 25 years ago; he ! has been working with us ever since.This is a modest example of Ken\u2019s love for civic-welfare work.; Spread throughout Florida, it has made him perhaps the most valued ; citizen in our State.The USO?Ken headed it State-wide through-1 out the war years, and is now suc-! cessfully concluding a drive for a quarter million dollars.The Citizen\u2019s Committee on Education?i Under Ken\u2019s leadership it has won ; passage of laws raising teachers\u2019 ; salaries and has filed a report that points the way from present low educational standards to the highest in the United States.My parade of people through Ken's office tells you a bit more of Ken\u2019s great personal efforts for the common weal.Again, 1 do not know how he does it.Friends?Have you ever met Ken or heard him speak?Then you know that he has friends by the thousands and you are one.Blessed with a fine smile, a catching exuberance, and a world of good stories, he is one of those rare mortals to whom all circles opens at his approach.Don\u2019t plan to walk down the street with Ken unless you have all day.There will be friendly interruptions and curbstone conferences nearly every step Continued on Page 11 Best Wishes For The Success Of The ROTARY FAIR LEVESQUE LIMITED FURNITURE.STOVES, REFRIGERATORS, ETC.îjCSinjS Sherbrooke Rotary Club Member: LlEUr.-COL.J.E.LEVESQUE § yewiwe ggS Help a worthy cause .ATTEND The 16th Annual T ROTARY FAIR -9 Your presence will ensure its success.Si SEE YOU THERE!
