| Sept. 12 |
Herb Taylor, author of Rotary’s “Four-way Test,” completed a makeup at our club. |

The Bulletin Editor warned the club that as to the day’s program: “You have to be surprise because the program chairman for the day did not contact the Editor!” The Editor did note that Grady Cox would introduce the speaker at the next club meeting and that Floyd Vallery, Jim Vallery’s father, a past president and district governor, had joined Reid Davis as a Paul Harris Fellow.
