9-56 THE WAKEFIELD NEWS VOLUME 44, NUMBER 50 WAKEFIELD NEWS. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1958 SUBSCRIPTION 1 LOCAL ALL OTHERS $3.00 Rotes Honored By Governor Visit Monday Making his first official visit to the Wakefield Rotary club Monday evening, Max Stieg, district governor, Clintonville, commended the membership and officers for its activities and sustaining interest in Rotary since its organization in 1930. The visiting governor paid tribute to the club's average attendance of 88.44 per cent, the fourth highest in the district during the past year, its club bulletin and for having outstanding attendance records among its members. Patricularly cited for attendance were Joe Cloon, who has attended 465 consecutive meetings over a period of nearly ten years; Robert A. Burns, for attending 458 consecutive meeting and August Tiberi with perfect attendance of 394 meetings.

Mr. Burns a former district governor with a record of accomplishment during his term, and founder of the Uthrotar movement, -was given particular recognition by Mr. Stieg for his work in Rotary and for his accepted counsel by district and international officers. In his formal talk to the Rotarians and their wives, the district governor stressed some of the accomplishments and goals of the international service club. he said, "is the rent you pay for the space you occupy," He outlined the points to consider before undertaking community projects, stressing the questions of the need for the project, whether it is a challenge and not a duplicate of other group activities, and if it is within the scope of Rotary and has the support of the community.

The Rotary Foundation is one of the important phases of Rotary endeavor throughout the world, was explained by the speaker. In the past 11 years, he said, clubs have expended $2,600.00 for student fellowships for study in foreign lands. A total of 1076 awards have been made in '65 countries' for scholarships in 43 nations. The local club has contributed $266 or more than 100 per cent at the rate of $10 for each member. The governor said five students from the district have received fellowships from the foundation.

The group includes Miss Marion Hackbarth, Antigo, now a student in music at Salzburg, Austria, Miss Norma Johnson, Ashland, who studied at Live- pool, England, Bruce Johnson, Hancock, Miss Lonnie Warren, Sturgeon Bay, and Michael Hammond, Appleton. Mr. Stieg urged the club to consider any outstanding high school graduate as a candidate for a scholarship. Several of the students chosen from this district would not have been able to continue their education without the aid from the foundation, he said. Mr.

and Mrs. Stieg spent Monday and Tuseday in Wakefield. Mrs. Stieg was entertained by Mrs. George Westlund, "Mrs.

Wilbert Junttila and Mrs. Harry Sutter while her husband visited with several of the club member in their places of business.

However the grand folks from the Plymouth location received many notes of congratulation and best -wishes from neighbors and members of the family.

Mr. and Mrs. Gill were married hi St. Patrick's church, Whitewater Sept. 30, 1908.

Mr. Gill, a railroad telegrapher, was assigned to the Wakefield station in 1910 and remained with the Northwestern railway until he resigned to accept a position with the Plymouth Mining until his retirement. The Gills have two sons, Joe who. lives at Northville, Mich, and Bill, at Sheboygan, Wis' There are also five grandchildren. Mr.

Gill says he has been more active, has more jobs to do and more hobbies, to nurture at the present time than ever before. Fishing, community service, church interests and historical research are among the activities which keep him interested and "young" in spirit and health. Mrs. Gill for several years has been confined to her home. Her greatest pleasure is the television set which friends gave them several months ago as a tangible recognition of affection and appreciation for their service in the community.
