De- mocracy chooses to count them When the majority sets out to de- stroy the minority--when it begins +breaking heads -- Democracy is done. "]'hat is what happened in France. That is why France fell. For France fell not for want of courage, but for want of leadership. --Andre Maurois, member of the French Academy, in the current Rotarian magazine.

EDITORIAL "It is not so much your ability as it is your dependability." Do you ever notice our mottos for the week in ~he upper hall? The one above was the thought for last week. And how true these words are! You cau win people's admira- tion and praise in other ways than by talent and ability. What good is a soloist if he or she is constant- ly late to practice. In anything-- whether ~t's a play, a basketball or football game, or even a common everyday committee meeting--no one likes to work with a persou who is not dependable! A dependable person is someone you ean rely upon to do the dirty work; someone who doesn't run the minute there's work to be done. Well, you say, if this is what you have to go through to be a depend- able person--I'm glad I'm not one! Perhaps you are the kind of person who thinks it's smart to get out of work; and dum~b to make yourself useful. If you are why doWt you wake up to the facts of the case? Give it a try and see what a good feeling it is to know that people be- lieve in you and rely upon your dependability. Then when some- They went to Mrs. Benish's, Mr. Norton's, and Nelson's.
