This marks the first time in the nine-year history of the KISBL that a player was so honored for two consecutive weeks.

The woods are incredibly rich in plant and birdlife; the orchards are in full bloom; a red squirrel sat in the middle of the road and nonchalantly chewed on tiny seeds. Several quite tame deer regard the 300 acres as their private park and three of the boys paddied lazily about the little pond in rubber dinghies, using hockey sticks as quite effective oars. John the Baptist, a powerful figure in cast concrete has been filled and sanded until it looks almost like marble. On Monday afternoon all available hands will be mustered to move the 800-pound plaque to the church where it will be mounted on the wall with the other eight sculptures already in place. There are still 11 to go. Another four years of planning and back-| toil for the artist, but just an interval in the life of the monastery. Yet is is undertaken with joy. Rotary Conference — May 9-12: The Spokane 21 Club, assisted by nine other Rotary and consider the immediate future and my present options. The semenarians are off this afternoon on a picnic, so Thave no classes. I can therefore go for a walk in the woods, I can go down te the workshop to help Father Dunstan, the seulptor | monk on his John the Baptist or I can write a report and The great thing about the Abbey is the fact that while one still has just the same allotted 24 hours, the pressure is off and it is possible to stand back and consider priorities within the framework of the ordered day and allot one's time accordingly. Two minutes of consideration on the options and the decision is made — all will be done. Work on the sculpture until time for shower, Vespers and supper, walk after supper and column after dark. It is now 8:30 a.m. and the guestmaster-has booked in at least 50 guests for the weekend. Supper, the evening meal — cold, sliced beef, whole stewed tomatoes in sauce, potao salad, fresh homemade bread and huge preserved apricots all sit cosily in a clubs pot this year’s conference. District Governor (now past district governor) Gene Bronson, and his wife Mary, were the official hosts. The Bronsons are delightful guests and superb hosts who put the hallmark of their concern for planning, detail and good management into the conference, and this column would like to extend to both of them congratulations on a job well done. It had, as one of our Rotarians says, “class.” Thursday evening set the tone with its buffet supper and the excellent musical Carousel. Well worth catching until mid-June, if you are in Spokane. John Morely, international correspondent spoke at the Friday noon luncheon on the topic “Peace — Its Prospect and Its Price.” In the course of his vivid address (he is a world famous speaker), he roundly condemned the news media for its overwhelmingly pessimistic and negative app: John Charters . . Reflections & recollections Beirut,” he continued, “I have the greatest hopes for peace there. Why? Because for the first time ever Christians and Moslems are sitting down and talking.” Moreover, he pointed out, there is a Rotary club in Beirut and here Moslem, Jewish and Christian Rotarians sit down and break bread together. They may try to kill one another outside, but here they can sit as friends. He cautioned also, against the “instant success syndrome.” “It always takes you longer to get out of trouble than to get into it. Look at marriage for example.” On the other hand, he concluded, we now have the strongest motive for achieving peace: “Every war in history has had a victor and a vanquished. Now, for the first time in history, there can be no victors.” Parade of Projects At Governor Bronson’s request, several clubs made presentations of their current projects.

(Personally, I still can’t stand the stuff.) A witty, tall South African student spoke for the group when she said, “We come from every continent in the world and this year has been such a learning member in a city, the public recognition of student scholarship and academic excellence, the saving and reconstruction of a historic clock tower.
