THE
ROTARIA N
.\
Follow the Star of Rotary
By Guy Gundaker
P.u idt nl of Rota.y J.lttt n.ational
H E app roac hing Christmastide
bringa to our mind the atory of the
Three Wiae Men of the Eaal, who,
led by a atar, 6nally arrived at the lowly
birthplace of the Chriat Child, They
bore in thei r ha nda rich gifta of gold,
frankincenae , and my rrh .
T
The wise men of Rotary also have a
atar to lead them on - a atar which will
truly lead them if they will but follow
it; a atar which representa Rotary'a highest endeavor, ita ideals, and its objectivea. It is always shining-always
beckoning onward. It leads men away
from the sordid things of busineSl; away
from rapacious gleed for gold; from cutthroat competition ; the desire to get and
not to give ; the atilted and reluctant
aervice ; and the unethical busineSi
methods.
Men of Rota ry, al you contemplate
Rotary's star, don't hold back, bu t follow its friendly light. A s it leads, those
w ho follow, ao metimes become so absorbed in that in6niteaimal something
somewhere between the selling-p rice and
the cost-prolil- that they lose sight of
the IItar. Sometimes, when opportunity
o f gain knocks loudly, they even close
their eyea to the star, lellt it may shine
so bright as to make their will refuae to
, ,'-------------------
obey their lower motives. Sometimes
they 110 regard aeU above a ll else, that.
all they p low on through earthly qua g·
mire, their steps falter, and they a lmost
fa1l, but ever and anon , their star is there,
a nd as they rest , the clouds which almost
hide it from view, are parted, and the
star again appears in its everlasting
eternal beauty.
The star representll faith , hope, a nd
service above aeU. It grows brighter for
those whose service daily grows, unlil
it becomes an overtone of service 10
huma nity- a heart throb joyfully at·
tuned for IJoCrvice.
R otary'a star is fo r the wise men o f
Rotary-it is a star of the 6rst magni.
tude in businesa, and all we follow it we
too shou ld bear gi ft s as did the wise men
of old.
And w hat should they be~ Gi fts of
friendship and brotherly love to all
humanity; integrity in business prac·
tice ; character in livin g ; a nd unsel6s h
aid to our fe llow-men-and the greatest
of theae i. 5eT'I>;ce.
It ia ourll to make D better world ,
To serve, to love to give.
A star, our star, it beckons us,
We've but one life to live.

THE
Icm.. The maj or problem, were f(lll1)(1
to be Jix in numtHor, KrowinK out of a
Kencral condition, n a n~ly-that Ihe in dustry in its t ranli tion from the crude
pioneer S(a~ to a It.. bilized businuJ,
was earrying with it a personnel whose
con<::eptiotl of the indust ry carried littl.
of se rt;"', but much of stU-and in the
Rotary Code of Elhics we find tbe remedy in the fint, &ectMld, and fifth duties
of a btllines. man, in that be must consilk r his vocalion worth _while, and as
offering a disl inct opportunit), to le r ve ;
Ihal he must imprO'1: himsr:! l, and at thr
u me time improve his cho&en vocation.
C row iDJ out o f the first general condition wer e the otht r si x problems, th.
fi rst of which was the unscrupulou s "Ry
by night" producer. who were Rood ing
the ma thIS wi th pietn ru posi tively det_

that it was nec essary 10 cxhibit thne

The third problem was thaI of advertisi ng. Advertising methodl had been
inherit~ largely from th e ci rnl!, and
were jllSI ..~covering from the do.y. of
the old Niekclod~n, whose front wa :l
plastered with lurid posters of whileoIave play., and plays ba s~ upon all
forms of commercializ"" vice. But
re.:l Ii.ing t hat "an exchange of gootl!.,
"rvicc, and ideas for profit is legitimate
and eth ical only when all p,a,rties in the
u change arc benefited thereby:- a campaign was init iat~ to teach each lheater managn that ~until the public aceepu ad ,·crtising as a pledge, it will Rma in costly in proportion to RstdlS~
that ~adverl isi ng is a definite pledge to
Ihe publ ic, and must be lived up to."
The fourth probl em lay in the fact
that a large number of Ihe patron. of
Ihe theater ",·ere seeki ng en terta inmen t
and nOl education, and that another la rge
cl e~nt 0 1 the public were .seriously
pnjudieed against the Iheater because
it offered only entertainment. To obse rve the foort h duty of the Code. it
s«med obligatory that the theater should
offer something more than enle rtain_
ment , good as enterta inment may be, in
order to win the good will and friend5hip of the prejUdiced clements of the
publie. In order to ao:ompli sh this end
