AVALON ROTARIANS
President lsaacs' Resignation Regret-
fully Accepted
Immediately following the conclu-
sion of the Rotary Club's luncheon at
the Hotel St. Catherine cm Friday,
President George W'. Isaacs an-
nounced his resignation from that of-
rice, because of hi~ leaving Avalon for
several months at least.
Following that action he immediate-
]y called Vice-President Earle P(,llok
to take the chair, so that he might at
once accustom himself to the position.
After Mr. Pollok expresse(t his re-
gret at the unexpected retirement of
President Isaacs, aeveral other mem-
bers spoke of the work he had clone
in securing the organization of Rotary
on Santa Catalina Island, and how he
had fostered its growth. Among
these speakers were Ralph Heywood,
John Toomay, Ray Arnold, and Mal-
cohn Renton.
Mr. Isaacs responded to the friendly
remarks of fellow members by stating
that he was leaving with regret and
unexpectedly. He explained that he
had done similar work for Shrine
Conventions when they had met in
Los Angeles and other places, that he
enjoyed the work, that it was a call
that he did not feel that he could de-
cline, and that he could not at pres-
ent tell what he nfight do or where
he would be after that work was fin-
ished, late in the coming year. He in-
formed those pre~ent that he would
be located in the Spring Arcade
building, in Los Angeles, on the third
floor, and that he would be Mad to see
any of the:n when they might be in
that city.
At this time Ashton Stanley, chair-
man of the Program Committee, was
requested to in'troduce the speaker of
the day. This he did by explaining
how the gentleman whom he was to
introduce had worked his way up from
other positions until he had become
Comptroller of the Santa Catalina Is-
land Company, and then presented
Mr. J. W. Scott, who was given a
hearty "hand".
Mr. Scott proceeded to explain how
his subject, "Business is Better, but
Conditions are Worse", could be rec-
onciled with its apl)arent contradic-
tion. His remarks were listened to
with attention, and it became evident
that he was master of the situation,
and could prove the assertions made
in the announced topic. Upon con-
clusion he received an even re(we em-
phatic "hand" than when introduced.
Connnittee Chairlnan Stanley then
thanked the speaker for his remarks.
There being no further business,
the Rotary Club of Avalon was ad-
journed.
Following is a list of the announced
speakers, with their topics, for the
next three weeks:
November 19th, Mr. J. D. Minster
of the Lo~ Angeles City Health Con>
mission, will speak on "Problems of
Sanitation".
November 26th, Mr. Craig Lane of
the Los Angeles Rotary Club, will
speak on "The History of California".
December 3rd, Mr. Joe Kaplan, As-
sociate Professor of Physics of the
University of California in Los Ange-
les, will speak of the "Phenomena of
the Stratosphere".

people.
SUNDAY MORNING RIDE
FOLLOWED BY BREAKFAST
Last Sunday morning saw the first
large turnout on the Sunday morning
rides, which are planned to explore
the many attractive trails and roads
of Santa Catalina Island during the
fall and winter months, whenever the
weather is favorable, as it usually is.
Then, at the conciusion of the ride,
they all gather in the clubhouse near
the stables and enjoy a ham and eggs
breakfast, w.ith appetites sharpened by
the ride in the clear and clean atmos-
phere of the "Magic Isle".
"Frenchie" Small, the manager, says
that last Sunday morning the return-
ed riders practically "licked the plat-
ters clean".
Those who enjoyed the ride Sunday,
which followed the road up around
the P. K. Wrigley place and then on
the other side of the valley up over
the hill to Pebbly Beach, were Mal-
colm Renton, Mr. and Mrs. Ashton
Stanley, Mr. and Mrs. R. V. L.
Wright, Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Heywood,
Mrs. Ahna Overholt, Jerry Wykoff, A.
L. Laurance, W. Van E. Thompson,
Frances Westfall, Ruby Rabey, "Bill"
Payne, Peggy "~Vr'ight and Sid Zektin.
They each and all proclaimed the
ride an epoch in their Santa Catalina
Island experiences, and one which they
will be glad to repeat from time to
time, as opportunity may occur.
Children's Riding Class
This new feature for the entertain-
ment and instruct:on of children be-
tween the ages of 5 to 14, takes place
every Saturclay morning from 9 to 12

Alter Miss Beery's demonstration,

direction of Mr. George Dickson, will
present a short and very dramatic
sketch portraying the difference in ed-
ucational methods of today and fifty
years ago, when the "old hickory
stick" played such an important part,
and the "spelling bee" was the high-
light of every schoolroom program.
Tne sketch promises nmch in contrast-
ing the new and old methods oi learn-
ing, as well as thumbnail sketches of
Avalon's most prolnising dramatic
holms.
The National Red Cross has 38,1)00
nurses enrolled for emergency service
upon call of the Government or for
disasters and epidemics. Your mem-
berships support this work.

MOTIVATION AND BREATHING
By The Editor
Telepathy! We have been request-
ed to again discuss ill this colulnn the
problems of telepathy, and to give
some of the latest developments on
the snbject.
Our interest in this fascinating topic
extends back for "nore than a quarter
of a century. Twenty years ago we
"expermaented" over radio station
KFVVO, then owned by the late Major
Lawrence Mott.
The object of the KFWO tests was
to ascertain, if possible, whether emo-
non and motive increased the power
of the agency carrying the signals;
how the signals were assimilated by
the "receiver"; also, what "types" of
persons were best suited for experi-
mental telepathy.
From the KI~WO tests, and obser-
vations made since that time, a num-
ber of conclusions have been arrived
at. However, we are still uncertain
as to the correct answer for two im-
portant questions: First, "What hap-
pens, mentally and physically, when a
person uses the expression, 'It has just
occurred to me'.. " Second: "Are
me telepathic vibrations, exhaled as
feeling, e:notion and motive, associated
with ~,xygen, carbon-dioxide, or other
inhaled carrier substances or gases;
and, later inhaled by the 'receiver', to
be absorbed ur cuntacted by the den-
drites, sinuses, nerves or body fluids ?"
LXerves are insulated with myeline).
What electrical frequency or agency is
used for transnnttmg mental impres-
sions ?
Some of the conclusions arrived at
twenty years ago were: That feeling,
elllL;tlvln and inotlve were necessary
Iactors to study, that "receivers"
shored be con(htioned so that they
wt,uid become super-sensitive in the
nose, throat and respiratory system;
that a "bad cold" interfered wqth the
txperm~ents; that the "pituitary-pin-
em"--a glandulartype--seemed to
have the gceatcst amountof success.
in receiving :nessages; that telep~athic.
stimuli nmy be inhaled as one inhales,
"inspiration"; that to stop breathing
or to exhale while attempting to con-
tact incoming stimuli seemed to phys-
ically close tne pathway or gate; that.
when the "thought current" was in:
conflict, the extmriment was always a
failure; that strategy in experimental
teiepathy was never certain; that the
tccimJque should be simple, sincere,
understandable ; that experimenters
may find it necessary to develop a
finer adjustment of the physical and
mental apparatus...
The technique adopted for "broad-
casting" was quite different to that
used by the "receiver". Broadcasters
seemed to have the greatest amount of
success when they were of the gland-
ular type known as "adrenaline".
If human speech is not clear, simple
and understandable, a "broadcaster"
has difficulty in making himself under-
stood. Everyone knows that it is nec-
essary to give one's attention to suc-
cessfully win an argument. ?herefore,
transferring ideas that were not em-
phasized with maunerisms, gesticula-
tions and voice tones does not cap-
ture the attention unless there is a.
