Los Banos Rotary Club History
Water Pollution Film at Rotary

The Rotary Club Tuesday noon was provided by Cliff Adkins of the Merced County Mosquito Abatement District, with a kodochrome film, “Clean Waters,” which graphically showed the damage and annual loss of property that occurs in the United States because of the practice of municipalities throughout the country of dumping raw sewage into streams, rivers and oceans. The educational film was especially appropriate for Los Banos inasmuch as our own municipal disposal is far below public health standards set by the state.
With two perfect attendance meetings in a row, Dr. Leo Lymp continued this week as custodian of the Rotary Rabbitry—which, incidentally, has been reduced to one lone bunny since they were placed in Dr. Lymp’s care. Rotary directors, alarmed at the 50 per cent death rate, are in a huddle this week trying to evolve some plan whereby the rabbitry might be assured of more expert care.

At the luncheon, President R. Lindemann presented Fred Lorensen with a Rotary lapel button indicating three years perfect attendance.
