(All news items will be greatly appreciated.) ROTARY CLUB ORGANIZED Steps for the organization of a Rotary Club were taken Dec. 8th by a group of seventeen business and professional men who are planning to establish a unit of Rotary International, world-wide service organization, in Ganado. Meeting with District Governor Bennie Hughes of Beaumont, in Ganado, the men voted to apply for a charter in Rotary International, thus adding Ganado to the list of more than 6,200 cities in some 75 countries and geographical regions of the world where Rotary has come to play a leading part in the progress of the community. Those present at the organization meeting were:

From Edna:
From El

Officers
elected were: The new club is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Edna, whose members have brought Rotary to Ganado through their friendship with the business and professional men of this city. One of the distinctive features of Rotary are welcome visitors at every other Rotary Club in the world. There are Rotary Clubs in Edna, El Campo and Victoria and elsewhere throughout the state, so it is expected that the new Rotary Club of Ganado will have numerous visiting Rotarians at its meetings. District Governor Bennie Hughes today defined Rotary as "a fellowship of some 305,000 business and professional executives throughout the world who are united in the 'Ideal of Service,’ which is thoughtfulness of and helpfulness to others." "Members of Rotary," he continued, "endeavor to exemplify their motto, ‘Service above Self.’ in all of their daily business, social and civic contacts by placing the obligation to serve others before the desire for profit for themselves. A Rotary Club selects its membership on the basis of one active member from each recognized business and profession in the community, so that it is a representative cross-section of the business and professional interests and activities in the community." The new Rotary Club of Ganado has the same general objectives as all other Rotary Clubs in North and South America, in Europe and Asia, in Africa and the islands of the Pacific—to encourage and foster the “Ideal of Service” as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster: 1. The development of acquaintance and an opportunity for service; 2. High ethical standards in business and professions; the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations; and the dignifying by each Rotarian of his occupation as an opportunity to serve society. 3. The application of the "Ideal of Service" by every Rotarian to his personal, business and community life; 4. The advancement of international understanding and good will, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional men united in the "Ideal of Service." The Rotary Club of Ganado will hold its regular weekly meetings in the C-C Cafe at 12:10 each Tuesday. As soon as it has been forma.ly admitted to membership in Rotary International, its official Rotary charter will be delivered by District Governor Bennie Hughes at a special meeting which will be attended by Rotarians from many of the Clubs in this Rotary District. MR. F. A. RATLIFF. Mr. F. A. Ratliff passed away Monday about noon in St. Joseph's Hospital in Houston, after an illness of about two years.

Husak, Jr. and Dorothy were El Campo shoppers Tuesday. Mr. Holger Anderson and Mr. and Mrs. Arvid Anderson were in Houston Sunday and while there attended First Methodist Church where they heard Handel's Messiah sung by one hundred and seventy voices under the direction of Mr. Jenkins. Mr. Johnny Gregory, a student at Baylor University, Waco, spent several days last week with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas E. Gregory. Mrs. J. W. Roark and Mrs. J. M. Bauknight honored Miss Adele Hill, prospective bride of Mr. Richard W. Vivion, with a miscellaneous shower Saturday afternoon at 2:30 in the parlors of the First Methodist Church. Several interesting contests were enjoyed after which Miss Hill opened the many gifts. A centerpiece of white carnations and gladiolus adorned the table. Refreshments were served to about fifty friends of the honoree. The Christian Church is glad to announce that the El Campo Christian Church Choir, under the direction of Milton V. Peterson, will present a Cantata, "The Music of Christmas," by Ira B. Wilson, Sunday night, December 14, at 7:00 o'clock at the Christian Church of Ganado. We invite you to attend this service.
