I Membership The Rotary Club is restricted to one member from each distinct line of business or profession. Such a plan makes for thorough representation by all branches of business, yet prevents an unwieldy number or the domination domina-tion of any club by any one business or profession. Such a membership becomes an ideal forum for the considera- ! tion of public or civic questions, It prevents lagging interest, for if a lagger develops he is dropped for a new ! and alert member.
