We ' almost forgot to say that the name of the picture was, very appropri-ately, "A Dream and A Memory." * * * * * * * * * * * * * INDUCTION DINNER "Sully" Sutherland is issuing ' invitations to new and prospective Rotarians to a pre-induction dinner Wednesday evening, February 1st. Any others who wish to hear Rotary discussed by such past Mas-ters as Leo McNamee, Bryan Bunker and Marion Earl, are welcome. * * * * * * * * * * * * * ALLYE 00PM: Secretary Allye Laws on is happy over the birth cf a son, SAMMY LEE LAWSON, on Sunday, January 22nd. Virginia, it is reported, is doing nicely, and Allye is as well as could be expected. ROTARY CONGRATULATES WITH E N T H U S I A S M ! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * LAGUEUX NOMINATED Last Monday, at a meeting of the ! nominating committee of Rotary Inter-national at Chicago, Arthur Lagueux, of Quebec City, Canada, was nominated for President of Rotary International. Of course, nomination in this case is equivalent to election at the Rotary Convention in Detroit, next June 18-22. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * JIM TRAVELS Jim Shaver is on the go again, this time to Reno. However, he leaves us the following notes for "The Wheel": Last meeting was one of the most visited meetings we have had. Mr. Dewey of New York was among those introduced. Doc Sylvester had his Dad with him. New we know that Doc looks like his Pa. Forest Lovelock, our regular visi-tor from Reno, drew the lucky number and immediately donated the proceeds the March cf Dimes.

He died in Spokane, Washington, and will be buried in Boise, Idaho. Frank Garside, the son, will attend the funeral services. QUARTER CENTURY AGO Items of interest to Rotarians twenty-five years ago, January 1925: Ernie Cragin received a long and interesting letter from Will H. Hayes, former Postmaster General and then President of the Motion Picture Pro-ducers Association. Ground was broken for the paving cf Fremont Street, Main to Fifth - and Main Street, from Fremont to north city limits. A matter for great re-joicing. January 8, 1925—Hiram Johnson, father of Mrs. Walter R. Brackcn, died at the home of his daughter. County Commissioner James Cashman and Highway Engineer C. C. Boyer, accompanied by a group of Cali-fornia highway engineers, reached Las Vegas after a difficult re-connoitering trip^cver the pro-posed short line highway between Barstow and Las Vegas. This saved 90 miles over the old route via Nelson, Searchlight, Gcffs and Daggett and is approximately the present route. Las Vegas experienced extreme-ly cold weather, 1*7 above Zero— very unusual. , January 8, 1925—Mai Riley was program chairman, and Mrs. Helen J. Stewart speaker at the Rotary Club meeting. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * THE ROTARIAN. The February number of The Rotarian is chockful cf interest-ing reading.... Those-who have the good fortune to read The Rotarian arc happy to greet this February number because it combines high interest with its wisdom. There are seme of us, I sup-pose, who are self-satisfied tc such an extent that we no longer want to be educated cr improved. But for the vast majority of Rotarians who wish to continue to grow in mental stature and moral quality, The Rotarian is the high light of each month....There are many great magazines published in the United States, but none, we believe, so completely filled with good food for thought as The Rotarian.
