Paul Harris
Rotary Founder
In 1905 people were still
talking about a Packard automobile that had reached
New York City from the
West Coast after 52 days of
road travel, the first to
cross thecontinentunderits
own power.
Ladies fashions from Paris decreed for the ladies,
huge billows of lace and
embroidery.
Men wore straw hats,
stiff collars and bow ties.
The race was on for higher and higher skyscrapers.
In Chicago the old influential "first families "were
beginning to move from the
lush Prairie Avenue district
to Rush St., and later they
were toraoveontotheSwank
Lake shore Drive area.
On Dearborn Street, almost invfront of the Unit
Building (where Rotary had
its start) a motorists, in
in white cap and duster,
driving a Hayes,was arrested for scaring the horses.
Chicago in the early
1900's was stitt a pioneer
town. It was assimilating
every level of society that
was filtering westward. Corruption, if n o t accepted
with grace, was accepted
with resignation. Respectable business men often wondered if they could survive
the circumstances surrounding them.
A campaign for civic improvement, however, was
quietly underway, and this
resaged a fierce battle for
righteousness in which business men were to shed their
cloaks of complacency and
dig into the fight to give
their city a right sense of
direction. It is conceivable
that Rotary might havebeen
born under sunny skies, in a
climate more equable, but
there are many who contend
that there could havebeen
no more favorable birthplace for Rotary than in
paridoxical Chicago. The
motto, "I Will "was not only
engraved on Chicago's municipal shield, it was emblazoned upon the hearts
of the far -. seeing men and
women in this Midwestern
"melting pot."
It was the typical business office - a small room,
not too well lighted, with a
desk and three or four uncomfortable chairs, acoat-

Meeting Set

ICONTEMIPORARY OFFICE BUILDING. Alpha Construction Company, inc., is currently
building North Canton's newest' proiesSional
office building located on S. Main St. The
building, four octagons joined by a common
foyer, was designed by North Canton architect
Kenneth Dansizen, who is also one of 'the partners in the venture. Ronald Braucher, secretary-treasurer of Alpha Construction, stated
that' this type of structure is also energy, ef-
ficent in that there are no doors leading tu
She outside from any of the individual offices.
The only doors leading outside are the liwo
from the centraily-looaited foyer. The foyer acts
as a buffer, trapping cold air from outside,
allowing the individual offices to remain
warmer.   The   windows,   including   six   sky
lights, provide for the maximum use of natural sunlight, but are of the highest insulating
value available. Three of the four octagonal
pods have two floors each and the other is
a single st'ory. The firm of Dansizen and Mar-
tin will occupy the second st'ory of one of the
pods while Dr. Richard Longhrake and Dr.
Lewis Snyder, dentists, who have maintained
practices here for many years, and who are
also part-owners of the building, will occupy
the large single-stfory pod. Other tenants include an accounting firm, an insurance company and two other dentists. Dansizen says
space is still available. The half-nullion-dollar
professional building is expected to be completed by March, 1980, although Drs. Long-
brake and Snyder will be moving in January
2, 1980.
