Joseph A. Abey
Will Head Rotary
International
TOKYO, Japan \Ri — Joseph A.
Abev, of Reading, Pa., incoming
president of Rotary International
for 1961-62, challenged Rotarians
to provide increased leadership
in their communities in his ad
dress at the final session of Ro
tary’s 52nd annual convention
here. The convention was the
largest in Rotary’s history, with
more than 20-.000 Rotarians and
their families registered from
some 60 countries.
Mr. Abey is circulation director
of the Reading Eagle Times. He
has been president and publisher

Virginia, and West Virginia. A
member of the Rotary Club of
Reading since 1936, he is a past

Rotary’s highest office at the 1960
convention in Miami, and since
then has served as president
elect and a member of the board
of directors. He begins his term
as president on July 1st.
Since some addresses will be
delivered in Japanese and some
in English, an instantaneous
translation system is beirg used.
It is being done through the use
of a radio broadcasting system
installed in the convention hall.
To receive translations in any
part of the auditorium, transistor
radios, equipped with earplugs,
are tuned in by those requiring
Japanese or English translations.
Rotary is experiencing its fast
est growth in Japan. In 1940, at
the outset of World War II, there
were 38 Rotary clubs and some
2,000 Rotarians in Japan. Today
in Japan there are more than 400
Rotary clubs with some 17,000
members. Rotary w'orld-wide has
a membership of 505,000 Rotarians
and 11,000 Rotary clubs in 122
countries.

BY MARY LEE COUNCIL
Upon his return from his re
cent trip to Anchorage and Kenai
Postmaster General J. Edward
Day informed Sen. Bartlett that
j he is making an exception for
, Alaska to permit substitute post
i al employes to work up to 48
| hours.
“The problem faced by the sub
stitutes in Alaska is unique,” the
cabinet official stated “and no
other state is being allowed this
exception.”
Some little time ago the Post
Office Department announced
that substitute employes would be
reduced to no more than a 40
hour workweek, later revised to
a period between 40 and 44 hours.
Representations were received by
the Alaska delegation urging that
the 48-hour workweek be permit
ted to continue because of the
high costs of living in Alaska.
Sen. Gruening and Sen. Bartlett
suggested to Postmaster General
Day that the adverse decision con
templated be delayed until Mr.
Day had had a chance to evaluate
the situation on his trip.

gon Legislature voted to continue
the special tuition arrangement
made for Alaska residents attend
ing state colleges in Oregon.
For several years students from

open 18-foot motorboat.

Lawrence Dunn, left Lake Union

beach and resumed the trip Sat
urday morning after making re

The men carried two outboard
motors, camping equipment and
a limited supply of food and
money.
“They didn’t know much about
the waters and it wasn’t much of
a boat,” Grant Freer, Camano
writer, reported.
“The men had no idea when
they would reach Ketchikan. I
don’t see how they are going to
make it at all.”
