African film enjoyed by Moab Rotarians The joint meeting of Moab Rotary Club and the Chamber of Commerce was cancelled Aug. 25 because the speaker was unable to be in attendance. The substitute program for Rotary was a video tape made available by Rotary District Governor of Utah, Creed Brimhall. The tape covered Malawi in S.E. Africa. It was narrated by Ed Cadman, Past President of Rotary International. It dealt with the work toward treatment for and eradication of polio in developing nations. Malawi has 1.7 million children, some polio victims and others to receive vaccine to eliminate the disease. One highlight was a voluntary operation performed in Africa by a surgeon from Stockton, Calif, on a girl to correct existing polio paralysis. Additionally therapeutic treatment and mobility for victims has been provided by making available wheelchairs, crutches and the like. Vocational training is another additive. The main thrust is prevention of the disease by vaccination in those not yet afflicted. Canadian Rotarians have funded the purchase of orthopedic equipment, training in its use and providing training for natives in physiotherapy. The polio and other immunization programs of Rotary International are long range activities and will still need considerable financing. There will not be a local Rotary meeting next Monday, Labor Day. RICHARD E. STIEFLER, MD.

There was concern that the Sundevils would not earn awards because they are only a summer club and would be competing for the first time against year round USS swimmers. The Sundevils proved themselves many times over by bringing home ribbons, plaques and medalions from each meet. There were even qualifiers for the B Championships and Tim Mitchell was only three hundredths of a second from an A time. Enough cannot be said about the potential of these swimmers. Already plans are in progress for next season. President Toni Adamson has the Parents Support Board organized and responsibilities assigned.
