Box 5664, Garside Station 89102 MAY 14, 1970 The Wheel "He Profits Most Who Serves Best" PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY THE ROTARY CLUB OF LAS VEGAS, NEVADA ROBY ROBICHAUD Editor DON DANNER ,— CHUCK LEONARD Associate Editors SHERWIN GARSIDE Publisher 6 Exchange Students . . . The Exchange Student Program will be swinging during the next couple of months according to Walt Geary, chairman of the International Youth Projects. Walt is looking for housing for the following students: Two girls from the Netherlands on June 7 and 8; one boy from South Africa on June 21 and 22; and two girls from Rhodesia on July 3 through 6. Call him at 385- 2126 if you can host these fine young students. Speaker — Speaker, Who Knows Who's the Speaker? As usual the best kept secret is who our speaker will be today. Between Gedance (The Sundance Kid) and Kishner (The Midnight Cowboy) they had three great one's lined up for today. At press time we didn't know for sure who it would be, but one of our operatives said Col. Brian J. Lin-coln would get the call. He's com-mander of the 57th Fighter Weapons Wing. Sounds real interesting — Don't scoot, I heard he might show some WAF training films!! R Last Week . . . Lt. Gov. Fike gave a real good "non political" rundown on the State of Nevada. Most think he's getting bet-ter with age. Don't we all? A good program, Eh! What!! At the Monday Round Table Luncheon . . . What a time, President Hal picked up the tab for Maurice Kishner, Irv Gedance, Hal Mielke, Leonard Leonard and Wonderman himself Wandesford. Buddy Hackit says, meeting with Gedance, Kishner and the group on Monday is more fun. Laughs — Laughs — Laughs. Drop in on them — you're all welcome to help contribute to the wheel. Seriously . . . Maurice Quixote Gedance and Irwin LeRoy Kishner do a fine job on the Program Committee. It's a rough and sometimes thankless job, especially after having to take the needle from all those roughnecks at the Monday luncheon. — Harold R IRWIN KISHNER . . . Irwin says he can remember when campus life was calm — all you could do to show your disdain for the establishment was to organize a panty raid. Bits of Nothing . . . Hit him with a wood stash, be young yet, he can't flew fast. R More Bits of Nothing . . . No thank me, I don't care for some, I jus.1 had any. Wonderman WANDESFORD Traveling . . . President Hal at District Conference in San Diego a couple of weeks back, last week in Tahoe. He said he was snowed in with only one bottle of Hindendikens — sounds bad to me— I think he better see the Doc soon, he's got a bad cough. Traveling — traveling — traveling — Harold says he can hardly wait . . . Hardly — Siberia is next. Today's Speaker . . . To be announced. Where Was GRAGSON? His honor, the mayor was to have been at the head table last week. Maybe we should tie a string around his finger. We missed you Oren. Why don't you ask for a rain check? I Know Something Good About You . . . Wouldn't this old world be better, If the folks we meet would say. " I know something good about you." And then treat us just that way? Wouldn't it be fine and dandy, If each handclasp, warm and true,. Carried with it this assurance, " I know something good about you." Wouldn't life be lots more happy, If the good that's in us all Were the only thing about us That folks bothered to recall? Wouldn't life be far more happy If we praised the good we see? For there's such a lot of goodness In the worst of you and me. Wouldn't it be nice to practice That fine way of thinking too? You know something good about me, " I know something good about you." Support IJour (Flotary Yesterday — Today — Tomorrow . . . There are two days in every week about which we should not worry, two days which should be kept free from fear and apprehension. One of these days is yesterday with its mistakes and cares, its faults and blunders, its aches and pains. Yester-day has passed forever beyond our control. All the money in the world cannot bring back yesterday. We cannot undo a single act we performed; we c;nnof erase a single word we said. Yester-day is gone. The other day we sholud not worry about is tomorrow with its possible adversaries, its burdens, its large promise and poor performance. To-morrow is also beyond our immediate control. Tomorrow's sun will rise, either in splendor or behind a mask of clouds — but it will rise. Until it does, we have no stake in tomorrow, for it is as yet unborn. This leaves only one day — today. Any man can fight the battles of jus! one day. It is only when you and I add the burdens of those two awfu! eternities — yesterday and tomorrow — that we break down. It is not the experience of today that drives men mad — it is remorse or bitterness for something which happened yesterday and the dread of what tomorrow may bring. Let us, therefore, live but one day at a time. — Author unknown R Pilot Members of District 530 . . . Governor-elect "Scotly" esks if pilots are interested in having a fly-in as part of the District Sports Program. The program has worked well in other districts as it does much to pro-mote Rotary fellowship — See Presi-dent- elect Mark Mielke. Who Needs a Friend? An enemy is someone you en,oy having nothing to do with; a com-panion is someone you enjoy doing something with; a friend is someone you enjoy doing nothing with. One of the illusions of life is that the present hour is not the critical, decisive hour. Write it on your heart that every day is the best day of the year. — Emerson THE FOUR-WAY TEST of the things we think, say, or do — 1. Is it the TRUTH? 2. Is it FAIR to all concerned? 3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? 4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned? Rotary Ann MARIE ROBICHAUD Marie Robichaud, Rotary Ann of our Wheel Editor, "Roby", passed away this past week. In addition to Roby, she is survived by four fine children — Bernadette, Yvette, Jimmy and Denise. The compassion of his fellow Rotarians is extended to Roby during these sad days with our prayer that the passage of time will lessen the pain of his great loss.
