uh...

I have nothing to say about you.

You've never been seen in my life.

Well, how are you?

Okay, I'll get a good shot of those brothers.

I always point out, I was an honorary Rotarian, and an honorary Rotarian, and everything else, but I was a Hawaiian, so I had no memory of the years where I traveled.

I sent a copy to the president, and also to the senator.

No, no, no, you sit down.

That's fine.

Here's a lesson for you.

Sit down.

Well, we always had an invitation over here, but I thought you'd got something else to do.

I think I've also got a watch on the guy.

He just said, oh, yes, that would be chapter.

Go ahead.

Well, I was going to say, it was mighty, mighty good.

There's a pack.

And Andrea, she said, and then she came out from the wing, she was five, five years, six, certain age.

She was at the flowers, and at the flowers, and then changing turn, she was instructed to get the bell out of there and go back in the stage.

And with her hand on her shoulder, she said, Andrea, why don't you sit with me today?

And I turned around, I hit her about ten times big, and I looked up at her face, and I said, you're very amazing.

Where do you go, here?

Georgetown, yeah.

Oh yes, of course, I know that.

Oh, that's right, with Sarah.

She'll teach us.

I don't like to.

It's a lousy business.

Let me say something about Juwanis for you.

I have been in a place with a number of things you've got to remember.

In our days, we used to have a belt on.

Everybody used to have a belt on.

Not our places, too.

But we did.

We did.

You've got a fine gentleman, a doctor that would be interested to know that in this recent black meeting they had out there, we had some observers, you know, these were radicals, or semi-radicals, about 4,000 of them, and you know, they referred from bombs and this and that, and also a lot of these people, too.

But the one society they disagreed with and everything, they came out four of us and went against one of them and everything else.

But the one society in which there was more anguish and more anonymity than anything else was drugs.

The blacks are terribly concerned about drugs.

And they're particularly concerned about drugs now.

And where the blacks live, you know, we are concerned about our youngsters who have suffered and the rest of the day are in a problem, you know, a lot of kids are on and on and worse and worse.

But the blacks, they live in these miserable places, you know, and

And a lot of them are hopeless, anyway.

And so these horrible pedigrees go in there and they get them hooked.

I have a family member who's probably been on the stuff most of his life, goes in here and he's helping us.

He said, well, anything can do a crime.

So I just want to say that if you want us, that what you're doing in the drug information field is very important nationally.

And that's one of those few areas where you can feel that you're helping to a lot of people.

We appreciate that.

That's how you're .

It seems to grab those people, I realize.

Yeah.

We haven't, but I thought I'm wrong.

This is a little cheaper.

This is a comic book approach.

Oh, well, that's where it is.

Check it.

That's how good.

No, we're the only ones.

We have a school bus that the district purchased.

uh... uh...

When you get to your conventions and you're talking to people, you can tell them that if they can get a good garbled needle, and I'm thinking now of a guy in New York, it's not clean.

They are good and decent people, as you know.

They care about their community.

They're not racist, right?

So, Wade, why don't you do it?

It seems to me to be something that you can get in front of the table and tell them that you want to get down here to, you know, the... What do you think, Jack?

Isn't that what you have to do?

I don't think it's that heavy.

What in the world are these people doing?

How are we going to do this?

What are your other projects at the present time?

Well, our second project, our major emphasis is Project Environment.

Actually, in this area, what we're trying to do is just get people to understand what it is to be a part of the economy into which they belong and how to live it up and maintain it.

Well, you know that service, that should fit service clubs too because service clubs are always already in the community.

Listen, don't be a little afraid to do that too.

private the city and private the club and the rest.

It's all bad and all trash.

But we need to, we need our children to have a little bit of discipline.

I mean, when I talked about it, there's certainly good things out there.

Yeah, there are some good things out there.

This is great.

All you've got to do is appreciate these countries getting tricked.

We're not on drugs.

Yeah, that's true.

We're already trying to develop a way that we can relate as an organization on the basis of getting

We started applying.

Who do you work with there?

Well, we have a... Have you talked to Mahoney?

Well, I think our general secretary has.

Not Mahoney.

I've talked to a certain person.

So, then Mahoney.

David Mahoney is the head of the office.

He sort of hires you for full opinions and all the rest of it.

And go right here.

You'd love to meet him and get a feel of the thing.

You see the idea of having this celebrated throughout the country, right?

Yes, in Philadelphia.

It's quite fascinating.

In other words, let's have a good celebration and come on, as well as this.

And you could, I think, this is a lot of people.

Actually, you could do all the service to us.

I believe in what you're doing.

I believe in your clubs.

Don't as a result of your travel around the country lose your devotion to the heart.

That's what that country looks like there.

That's a good country to stay.

What?

No, you were in Fort Dodge.

Oh, Fort Dodge.

Remember where they had a van?

Oh, yeah.

Remember?

They had a van.

They had on that most vector, or center of the thing, was the most thing in Fort Dodge.

They had about 15 vans, and it was the most large.

That's one of the parts.

The rest of the parts were 2,900.

And now, is that your town?

We are at the mansion.

All right, so now, what is it?

Is it basically a manufacturing?

It's a small community by 6,000, but we make basically farm agriculture, but we have several.

And that's kind of a challenge, I think, where you'll have a little bit of time.

It's relaxing action.

Well, all right, but also you've got to...

People support the school.

Everybody's interested.

They still go to the PTA meetings and participate.

They still go to the county fair.

They go to the county fair.

Well, it's such a great temptation to replace all this with just spectaculars at the national level.

In other words, that young people just like to sit in front of the TV.

But there is nothing like participating in something when you're there.

And I think that you were fine with that.

Well, you know, when I wrote that book, I was a...

I wrote for, what do you call it, a current employee.

And I wrote to her for the next book.

It was a hard work time.

And you make deadlines.

You write fast.

It's a lot of work.

That's hard work.

Anything work-wise is...

I want to give you everything the President of the Service Club gets from the President of the Customs.

Oh, thank you very much.

They're just as expensive as they are.

See the seals on the hand and on the floor, there it is, the Customs.

Are you going to have a very happy time in the Customs?

Here's what he gives you.

You're welcome.

You're very welcome.

And here's to you.

Oh, thank you.

See, what is this?

This is the...
