"Like a Reigning Monarch"

Ignored by the British editors of Who's Who is Mr. Sidney W. Pascall. The editors are wrong, for Mr. Sidney W. Pascall is a potent international figure, first European President of Rotary International. Last week Rotarian Pascall sailed from Southampton with his wife and Daughter Joan for a triumphal tour of the world. Only a few days before he had returned to Britain from a 15,000-mile tour of the Rotary Clubs of the U. S. "I was treated like a reigning monarch," said he, "and each Rotary Club I went to gave me something to remember them by --rings, quilts, gavels, cigaret cases, note cases and a stuffed baby alligator. "To give you an example of the hustle at Philadelphia, I was attending a banquet there when a man came up to me and said, 'you are broadcasting tonight. Just a moment. . . .' Before there was time to protest he had announced me, pushed the microphone into my hand and there was I, expected to make a speech on the spur of the moment which would be heard by thousands of listeners. ... I was received at the White House by President Hoover. The British Ambassador was with me and he and the President were very outspoken." The new Pascall itinerary includes South Africa, India, the Straits Settlements, Australia, New Zealand, ending in June at the great annual Rotary International Convention in Seattle.
