The Club's principal projects were: Rotary book shelf in the Public Library, Paul Scea, Chairman; Boy Exchange--idea fathered by Wellington Pegg. Sons of Rotarians in Wenatchee and Canada met in Oroville and were exchanged for four days during spring vacation. The Canadian boys, guests in Rotarian homes in Wenatchee, were entertained and shown around the area. They appeared at the Rotary luncheon and gave short talks. At the end of the period the two caravans met again at Oroville and returned the boys to their homes. Later the Wenatchee boys talked to our Club about their experiences in Canada.

Significant programs included an interesting debate presented by Shine Shiner's Civic Affairs Committee on the proposed Mt. Stuart water project to supply Wenatchee with domestic water; Rotarian Art Chase, apple ambassador to Washington D. C., gave an excellent talk on "Recollections and Reflections of an Apple Ambassador;" many programs were devoted to explaining New Deal legislation, NRA, CCC, AAA, Codes, etc. Being so much interest, Harry Whiteman took two meetings to report on his trip to England; a series of programs on the flags of foreign countries; a program at the high school cafeteria with eighty lovely high school girls for escorts; exchanges with Chelan and Ellensburg as well as inter-city meetings in Spokane, Okanogan, Kelowna and Oroville. Edgar Widby made a fine speech on the Great Wall of China.
