ROTARY HISTORY OF THE SEVENTIES: At the recent meeting of the N.Z. Rotary Institute, it was reported that it is expected the history of Rotary N.Z. in the ’70’s decade, will be available in time for the 1983 District Assemblies. To meet the cost of publication (estimated to be $15 each) each District will receive an allocation based on three copies per Club, which Clubs are expected to take and sell. This publication has been written with emphasis on Club activities. Further information will be released from District as it becomes available.

PRESIDENT’S CORNER:
What a great year Community Service has had under the direction of Brian Gurney.
Hospice project completed – a new sun-porch. Landmark well underway with the re-furbishing of a room. Bus trip in the country for the elderly. Oliver Twist Dinner. Plus other involvements with Directors.
It was my pleasure to join Brian and his wife Joy for the trip to Puketitiri last Sunday. The “old people” had a great day, but I believe Brian, Joy, Roy Batchelor and myself had the bonus. It was a pleasure to be with the 40 senior citizens. A lot of laughs and satisfaction to see the pleasure it gave to some lonely people.
My wife, Nancy, also wishes to thank the 40 Rotary wives who joined her for an evening of fellowship on Sunday evening. The support given to Nancy gave her a lot of pleasure. I was pleased  that so many had the chance of meeting our Club’s new daughter – Kim and delighted that at the same time many were able to welcome and renew friendships with our past Exchange Student, Ana Apatu.
A double event of great pleasure.
Thanks girls. –   EWING

HAVE YOU MET OUR NEW MEMBER?
Barry F. Davidson is another new addition to our Club. His club name is Barry and he serves under the classification of Food Processing – Canneries. He was born in Ashburton and educated in Dunedin. Barry is no stranger to Service. While living in Timaru, he was on the Timaru Council, Manufacturers Association, Public Relations, Gold Club Committee, just to name a few areas of service. In fact, before coming to Hastings a couple of years ago, he was a member of the Timaru North Rotary Club. In Timaru, Barry was the Branch Manager of Watties and on moving to Hastings, was appointed Manager, Hastings Branch Wattie Canneries, which position he holds today.
Barry enjoys golf – if he had time to play the game – likes fishing and if he is missing from Hastings, you will find him boating on Lake Taupo.
Barry is married, with two children and we know the Ladies will find pleasure in meeting his wife, Janet – as we welcome Barry Davidson to our Hastings Club.

CHANGE-OVER NIGHT – LADIES NIGHT:
In days of old when men were bold and armour was made of tin – Sir Ginger Meggs with bandy legs went out to fight for Min.
Although Ginger Meggs is not a Rotarian, he is one of the good little guys in a cartoon strip, symbolizing all that is true and fair to all concerned, caring for his girl friend Min who represents all that is good. Our good guys might have slightly dented armour, but they still carry proudly the flag of Blue and Gold colours.
Change-Over Night Wednesday 29 June is the night we give recognition to the good guys of a job well done and welcome the in-coming Officers for the new 1983-84 Rotary Year.

UNEMPLOYMENT SHOULD BE A CONCERN OF ROTARY:
The R.I. Board at its second 1981-82 meeting, considered the problems of general unemployment as a subject of Rotary concern. The Board encourages District Governors and Club Presidents to consider in Vocational Service, problems of the unemployed, which includes people of all ages. It is suggested that the subject should also be discussed at District and Club Programs.
Consequently, this matter was raised at the last District Conference and resolved:
“That letters be forwarded to Employers Federation, The Federation of Labour and to the Government, urging their recognition of the crisis in employment of school leavers by reaching agreement….. to establish appropriate youth wage rates in all Awards and other agreements at a scales which will effectively stimulate all sections to create job opportunities for young people.”
Lack of space only allows us to print extracts of the following letters:-
The N.Z. Employers Federation Inc., dated March, thanked District, advising statements and resolution passed at Conference. The Federation states that it is in close agreement, has been active in several fields already.
The Secretary of the Federation of Labour does not share the views of your organization, in that the rate of wages is directly responsible for the high levels of unemployment occurring with youth and school leavers in particular.
The Minister of Labour, Mr Bolger: share your concern that the absence of youth rates in some awards and collective apprentices may act as a disincentive to the employment of youth. I have held discussions with the Federation of Labour, on the possibility of introducing youth rates…”

District suggests, the Minister and Employers will need support.

YOUTH COMMITTEE MEETING:
The 1st Tuesday – August 2nd – to  be a LADIES NIGHT and meal at the Hastings Golf Club, 6.30 p.m. The cost is only $10 or $12 per person depending on being a member of the Golf Club or not. Drinks own care.
So come on fellows and bring your LADIES – have a get together at the beginning of our year. – Sandy Struthers
