As Plant Manager, Julian should know what he is talking about and provide much of interest to local Rotarians concerning our lively and fast-growing neighbor. * * -; -w -*r NEXT WEEK Rex Bell, popular local business man and Republican nominee for Nevada State Lieutenant Governor, is slated to take over next week's program on the subject: "What the Boy Scouts can do for your boy." Rex is well versed on this subject, being the past president of the Boulder Dam Area Boy Scout Council. * it -x- -x- * -:$• * LAST WEEK Our outgoing and incoming presi-dents took their turn behind the mike to tell of their pleasures and experi-ences at the national convention of Rotary International held in Seattle. Despite the fact that both Wayne and George are both ardent sportsmen, neither caught anything except George, and that was a healthy cold from the effects of the Puget Sound fog. The two prexies did manage to present an interesting and fast-moving program. -x- -x- -x- -x- -x- -x- -is- -x- COMING BACK Our good Rotarian Jack Wood is scheduled to be back with us soon when his cast is removed. Jack is looking forward to being able, to enjoy the fel lowship of Rotary arain, b u t , he says, that until he is able to be b a c k , he would appreciate having visits from other Rotarians who happen to be passing by his Paradise Valley ranch.

Will you, who have had the honor of being elected Presidents of the Las Vegas Rotary Club, write an account of your administration to be inserted as a part of the history of this club? Quite a number of those who have served the club as president have com-plied with the request for information; others are preparing to do so. It will be a real service to the club and put into lasting form the record of Rotary in Las Vegas, and help us comply with the request of Rotary International if we can finish our history during the last six months of 195U.
