This was the first year in which we had a doctor as president (although we did have a dentist, James Winstanley, in 1936-37) and Dr. "Ed" Cadman wanted to demonstrate to the fellows that doctors are not all bones--they also have brains. To get a good start he opened his first meeting with a bang, from a .30 caliber revolver. Luckily no one was hurt although we were all startled. The theme of his term of office was "Peace." He opened and closed his meeting with a salutation of "Peace." It was quite effective.

Ed had a very eventful year. Rotary International held its convention in Los Angeles and Ed brought back a series of tape recordings of various interviews he had with Rotarians from many foreign countries including a personal interview with Rotary International President, Nitish La Harry. Locally Ed had a large purple and gold Rotary banner, about 6' x 10', displayed on the wall in back of the head table, and a large 3' x 6' Four-Way-Test banner prominently displayed. We had accumulated many Rotary club banners from various places throughout the world which Ed had mounted on a board and displayed at every meeting. He also outfitted our Greeters Committee with golden jackets which were worn at every meeting.

A photo of the Rotarian farthest from home was taken and presented to him and a copy forwarded to his home club. A carnation boutonniere was presented to each Rotarian on his birthday. Amplifiers were installed at a special table for members whose hearing was failing.

Leo Lowe was nominated by our club to be District Governor for District #506 and was subsequently elected.

Two outstanding programs were talks by Dr. Charles Odegard, President of the University of Washington and Dr. Frank Warren, President of Whitworth College in Spokane. And, as usual, the classification talks by our new members always proved interesting and informative.

There was never a dull moment at any of the meetings for Ed who usually came up with a "poem" (so he called it), usually a play on words and activities of some member. All in all Ed's term as President was a very successful one.
