The subject x will be Baseball, and will be illustrat-ed by a motion picture procured through the court-esy of K.O. Knud-son, entitled, "Baseball Highlights of 1950". We hope this will create additional interest in the fine baseball be-ing played at Cashman Field by our " Wranglers*. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * SPECIAL NOTICE Please Take Notice and Pass the Word that there will be no mid-day meeting on June 28th* for the reason that we are holding our fa-mous "Demotion" exercises for Pres-ident Allye on that evening, in place of the regular meeting. * * * * * * * * * * * * * DISTRICT ASSEMBLY Quite a group of our members, headed by President Allye Lawson and President-Elect Harry Allen, are in attendance at the District Assembly at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Southern California.

Leonard Fayle, chairman of the Last. Mile Committee, has arranged for happy entertainment of every sort, and in the actual demotion he will have the enthusiastic assistance of every cruel character in Las Vegas Rotary Club. The affair will be held at the lovely McNeil Ranch, south of Charles-ton Boulevard, nhere the demotion of President Max Kelch was bo successful-ly carried out in 1946. It is rumored that Allye will be hung on the same tree as was Max, that tree also having come through the ordeal alive. Of course, all our members are expected to bring their Rotary Anns. Those desiring to bring additional guests are requested to notify Commit-tee Chairman Leonard Fayle- Phone 1890 so that dinner arrangements may be made. Les Edwards, today's presiding officer, plans to take advantage of Allye'3 absence and get the low doim on *th*e *de*mo*ti*on* f*ro*m *Le*o*na*rd* F*ay*l e.
