cian and Randall Goldenson as
dog catcher, the Greenville lo-
tory Club yesterday enjoyed an
outstanding program.
William C. leterson of Quincy
was te sole vimting 14.otarian and
m introducing tnmself opined that
advance word of the program had
ieal{ed out, accounting, he intn'nat-
ed, for the absence of all other
Quincy Rotarians and many mem-
bers of the Greenville Climb.
Speaker of the day, procured
after much hard work on the part
of Chairman Bidwell, who said the
speaker had given up a speaking
ate in San Francisco in order to
appear here, was Ray C. Smith,
past president of Rotary and
manager of the Meadow Valley
Lumber Co.
In warming up for his address
r. Snth impressed his lsteners
with his extreme modesty, a n d
hen launched LUto an impressive
alk on the subject "of "The
Responsibilities of a Rotarian,"
which was well received by is
audience.
"International peace may be
zounded on the development of
good fellowship on the home

:hat an important responsibility
of the Rotarian today is to do

ef the youth today, who Will carry
le banner of democracy of tomor-
row. "But we cannot expect them
o do a good job unless we pro-
vide them with the right tools,"
he said.
In this country, Smith said, we
are spending $1 per year for the
advancement of our youth through
such organizations as our boy
scouts, while Russia is gladly
spending an average of $25 per
youth for the purpo of 10oisonlg
their minds,
"We need have little fear of
the USeR waging war on us at
the present time. All we need to
do is let her defeat us on the
economic front. And such groups
as this can best cope with the
situation by fulfilling their respon-
sibilities to their fellow business-
men, their youth and their com-
munity instead of merely being
pasengers who are just enjoying
the ride."

G00EENYlLLE I00IANS
STAND UNDEFEATED
AFTER OUINCY GAME
The Greenville Indians m a d e
gridiron history last Friday night
by beating the Quincy Trojans
14-12.
It was the first time since 1947
when football was introduced here
that Greenville has beaten Quin-
cy, who have been League Champ-
ions since that time.
Greenville made the first TD
on a pass from Bert Holt to Ron
Logan. Holt then passed to Cooper
for the extra point. At the end
of the first quarter the Indians
were out in front 7-0.
Quincy's first touchdoWn was
set up when they recovered a fum-
ble on their 16 yard line. A fourth
down pass into the end zone as
the gun sounded accounted for
their first score. Quincy tried to
kick the extra point but it was
grounded by Bright, making the
halftime score 7-6 in favor of
Greenville.
Following a recovery of a block-
ed punt in the fourth quarter,
Comstock charged 17 yards for
Greenville's second 6 points. Again
s• pass from Holt to Cooper was
alccesful as the Indians increased
tir margin to 14-6.
,The Trojans, however, marched
to the Indians one yard line and
charged over for 6 points. Their try
for the extra point was a pass
which was knocked down by Lo-
gan, making the final score 14-12.
The Indians played an excellent
defensive game which could ac-
count for their victory.
"The boys had a real desire to
tn and it's that desire that won
fle gam for them," Coach Tlmone
sted.
"the Indians are not letting up
however, just because they're the
only unbeaten team in the League.
In fact they're working a little
harder. They're determined to add
a football trophy to Greenville's
collection," he added.
The Indians next game is with
the Westwood Lumberjacks here
in Greenville and promises to be
a fight from start to finish. Plan
to see it Saturday, October 20.
