"HueOner lived a full life. He spent the greater portion of it in Burlington, first as a youngster and later as manager of the telephone company. But Huebner's interest in Burlington was far more than self ish or self centered, lie was con cerned for others. "Wherever you met him. in the tii'ir.'m. on the street, in his home or office, at a lodge or club meet ing in which he reveled, ho was al ways the klm r.e gracious, kindly Sam iPiebn-r. lie went out of his way to be court e 'us tc strangers or new comers.

Raynaud Took read, "Sam Hu-.b- ner Absent , as tollows: Thus way the record wriiten at the last meeting of the Burlington Rotary Club. It was an enviable record that was so terminated. For twenty-seven years (with one exception, when he duck-hunted with Paul Harris, founder of Rotary, win granted him special Dispensation) Sara main tained a perfect Rotary attendance. A little over two weel.s ago, fatally stricken, he left his sickbed to keep that record unbroken - and to bid t:s adieu. Rotary loomed large in the lite cf Sa n Huebner. To him it was not something casual or incidental it was part and parcel of his existence --he lived it, joyed in it, exemplified its teachings. No man in Burlington Rotary was better known and liked throughout the District than Sam. When the wi iter first became a member cf Rotary, some twenty three years ago, Sam was the very efficient secretary of the Burlington club. As the then editor of The Burro, we frequently consulted Srm for items of interest, and he most kindly and enthusiastically co operated. Each Tuesday he trotted tc our office with his carefully tabu lated record of attendance at the lat meeting, which headed each is sue of the bulletin. We dubbed him "Statistical Sam," and, for no reason :t all. he called the wiiter "Uncle Phil.'' Of the men who formed the mem bership at thai, time, only a hand ful remain and now from that diminishing group has been removed the most lovable luminary of the old regime Fretiuently have we felt the wistful tenderness of that line by Charles Lamb. "Where are they gene, the old familiar faces?" At each meeting we glance about and note the steady infusion of new blood, and the diffusion of the old. All as it should be, pernaps. and yet hew cor.ifort.ing to have the eye alight upon an "eld familiar fc'ce," like that of dependable, affable Sam. And now, he too. has gone to join those who have gone before (Billy McFarlar.d, George Wash burn, Ned Phelps, Bostor Osborne. Leon Eisfeid, to mention only a few) and we are without that shin ing lint: that bound us to the Rot ary cub of the early days. "All, ail are gene, the old familiar faces " Sam's v in IK'S were homely ones, and this seeks to be a homely tribute. He did not aspire to the flaming heights, and no brilliant light went out when he slipped into the shad ows. But certainly by his death there was extinguished a warming and cheering glow lhat had cast its beneficent spell uron all who knew him. Friendliness, with Sam. was not forced; it came easily and nat urally, and sparked in the clasp of his hand and the light of his smile. And by the lige of that smile we shall always remember him. We wish Sam were here t: read what we have attempted to express. Pe rhaps some of it should have been said before he so bravely bade us adieu. If he were here, we know full well what his reaction would he: a beaming, cherubic smile would light up that "old familiar fa"e," and he would say, "Thanks, Uncle Phil." Piano Duet Mrs. Roy O.
