Two of the best talks made
before the Canadian Rotary Club
for some time were heard Tues-
day noon, by members of the
Amarillo Rotary Club during an
inter-city meeting: of the two
organizations at the W. C. T. U.
Building.
One of these was a talk made
by Guy C. Saunders, a past presi-
dent of the Amarillo Rotary
Club, who spoke on, "What Is
the Necessity of a Rotary Club?"
He pointed out that 75 or 100
years ago persons were more or
less independent of the rest of
society. They raised their own
food, raised their own stock
which was butchered for their
own use. raised their sheep
which, furnished the wool to spin
Cou niies, that have voted
bonds to aid in paving national
highways, should be reimbursed
by the state, was a statement
made by Governor Dan Moody, in
his address to the West Texas
Chamber of Commerce conven-
tion, last week. In the opinion
< 1 II E. Hoover, who represented
Canadian at the convention, the
view expressed by the- Governor
seemed to receive the approba-
tion of everybody present.
Governor Moody took the posi-
tion that building public high-
ways, when financed by the fed-
eral government, state govern-
ment and counties, is an unjust
burden on the counties. The
traveler is the one who should
pay the bill.
Mr. Hoover said the Governor
strongly recommends that the
State of Texas fix gasoline and
car taxes sufficiently high to
finance the building and main-
taining of all international high-
ways through the state. When
this, is done, those counties that
have already voted bonds should
be reimbursed.
Mr. Hoover attended the first
lay's session of the West Texas
Chamber of Commerce conven-
tion, then went;; to Pla in view,

We. the undersigned voters ot

their o.vn clothes and what the
other fellow did made little dif-
ference to them. In this day of
progress, Mr. Saunders said, it
COURT j'ts entirely different. What you
'people in Canadian do effects us
iiii Amarillo. If you are prosper-
ous, we feel some of the effects
•of that prosperity and visa versa.
Each one must be more or less
dependent on the other. Men
are more specialized than ever
before. The Rotary Club repre-
sents the various specialized
groups. It is for a better under-
standing of each, other that Ro-
tary Clubs exist.
Another excellent talk was
made by John McKnight of the
Amarillo Club. His talk dealt
with the "Spirit of Rotary." Mr.
MtKnight is the first president
of the Amarillo Rotary Club.
Jim Williams, chairman of the
Amarillo Rotary Club's inter-city
relations committee, introduced
th? speakers.
Allen Early showed motion

views of the Arbor Day program
held at Amarillo, and views tak-

ing field. Jep Todd presided at
the luncheon.
Following the Rotary meeting,
Mr. Early took pictures of the
Rotarians as they left the W. C.

the Presbyterian Church, who
served the luncheon.

HEAVY BATTING
WINS TWO GAMES
BOTH SHATTUCK AND BOOK-
ER DEFEATED—WOOD-
WARD JLNE 8.
A slugging line-up of Canadian
batters overwhelmed Booker in
.-.■game played here last Sunday,
scoring 15 runs to 2 by the vis-
itors. The game followed a nip
••ind tire'; affair played at Shat-
tuck on Memorial Day, which
Canadian won, 5 to 4.
In the game with Booker, the
local team uncorked hitting abil-
ity thai has been dormant in
previous games this season. Nine-
teen hits were chalked up during
the encounter, with two three-
base hits by Fonken and Carver
and a couple of two-baggers by
Walker and Carpenter. Walker
batted 1000 per cent average
during the game, getting four
hits in four times at bat. Fonken
held Booker to 7 hits, but slowed
in the ninth to let the visitors
score twice.
The Canadian team had a good
day in the field, making only two
errors. Hoy gave a particularly
good performance at third.
The game played at Shattuck
on Memorial Day was featured
by a ninth inning rally, Canadian
getting 3 runs in the first half
of the final inning. Shattuck
led all the way to the ninth.
