These were handed round this Club at the Rotary luncheon yesterday and we were plea3ed to hear from you all and of your work and play. We note that you have been in communication with Rotarian Innes of the Cupar Club. There is a firm of printers there, so he may be of that family. (Quite right—Ed. ) We note in your roster that there are one or two Scottish names, and to them, of course, a special thought. One or two of your classifications we did not understand. Thanks for your make-up card,and the comments here were of the gorgeous ties you wear. Thanks also for the pamphlet showing the beauties of your Town, which seems to have everything it takes to make a beautiful and lovely place. Our town here is a well known holiday resort of 5,000 souls and is mainly agricultural. Our Club has a membership of 36 with a 90% attendance. We received our Char-ter in 1938. I was asked to convey to your Pres- Lent and Members th^ veryj^st Wishes Bonnie Scotland. l.Iy personal greetings to you, 'Pop',and success to your Uheel. May it aye keep birlin." (A mighty fine letter for which we return thanks.)
