Rotarians Table
Resolution to Make
Associate Members
For the last few days Eugene F.
van Voorhles, representing the or
ganization department or the Com
mission for Relief In Belgium, has
been In Omaha arranging for a cloth
ing campaign for the Belgians. In
furtherance of the movement he has
the support of a proclamation by
Governor John II. Morehead, In
which he says:
In keeping with the spirit of the
statement of President Woodrow Wilson
made to Herbert C. Hoover, chairman
of the Commission for Relief in Belgium.
in which he strongly Indorses the move
ment and also in keeping with the earn
est request of the general committee of
this state In charge of the relief of the
destitute people of Belgium. I, as gov
ernor of this state, call attention to the
fact that great distress prevails In that
land desolated by war.
"Humanity Impels us to do all we can
to relieve the distress prevailing, and
I would respectfully urge the people of
the state to co-operate with the persons
names as committees acting for the re
lief in Belgium.
From the character of the commit
tee named, I believe that the money
which the good people of this state con
tribute to the fund will be honestly dis
bursed and will reach the people for
whom it waa Intended."
The plan is to ask the merchanta to
place on bargain counters on certain
days, which will he announced later,
goods which are desirable for the peo
ple who must have aomethlng to wear
and then to give every person In this
community an opportunity to go In and
purchase these goods and leave them to
be gathered up by the local committee
and shipped to Belgium.
Thousands of Bread Lines,

great destitution. In one city over 1,300
children have nothing to wear but meal
sacks and there are 7,000 bread lines.
with every person, rich and poor alike,
receiving one loaf of bread a day.
According to Mr. Van Voorhles. this
commission has forty-three ships char
tered for the work, and these ships are
constantly crossing the ocean on their
errands of mercy, bearing a white flag
with the worda In red, "The Commis
sion for Relief in Belgium." or the Ini
tials, "C. R. B." If these ships stop
four days the whole nation starves.
The Commercial club of Omaha, at
Its executive committee meeting
listened to Mr. Van Voorhles' talk on
the work of the commission and voted
to Indorse the movement. At official
meetings of the Rotary club and Vnl
verslty club committees have been ap
pointed to co-operate with the commla
slon for carrying on the work, and other
organizations. Including the Associated
Retailers, the Woman's club, the Ad
club, the Young Men's Christian asso
ciation and the Toung Women's Chris
tian association and the various churches
are co-operating.
R. 8. Trimble, tr. T. D. Qulgley snl
M. M. Robertson, have beon appointed as
a committee of the Commercial club to
confer with Mr. Van Voorhes with regard
to the campaign.
A motion to allow "Involuntary past
Unlarlans" to tctaln honorary or aso
late membership In the Rotary' club wns
In Id on the table by an almost unanimous
vote at the weekly meeting of the Omah v
Rotary club at the llenshaw hotel.
This question Is pertinent because the
"Rotary" constitution provides that mem
bershlp shall be limited to one man from
each profession or business. Therefore.
heu some member changes his line of
business, he comes Into conflict with
some other member already In that line
and necessitates his own removal from
the club.
Harley Moorhead. Victor Rosewaler and
others spoke on the problem, which will
come up for settlement at the next na
tional convention of Rotary clubs. R. M.
Harris presided.
The RotarlHiis smoked cigars "on"
George W. Johnston, furnished by him In
honor of his achievement In bocomlng

timonial was ordered sent to Mrs. John

Incidentally 't was reported that the
neighbors had reeognlred the event by
presenting Mr. Johnston with a loving
cup and that he was In doubt as to
whether he would have to win It twice
to become the owner "for keeps."
