Apex Club—Service and Citizenship

THE Apex Club has extended its activities to Lae, New Guinea, and although the inaugural ™ ner was held only on November <5O, an impressive number of com munity duties have already been undertaken by members.

The Club plans to rejuvenate the cxd swimming pool on the foreshore and has already been granted per mission to raffle a car for funds.

When the pool is completed, the surrounding area will be turned inta parkland and a play area for children.

Apex has a number of ideals— such as the encouragement of high ethical standards in business. But perhaps it can best be summed up by another of its aims; Aggressive citizenship. This is something which most places can use, these days, and Apex is already giving Lae samples of how it is done. t Mr. L. M. Stanford, who joined Burns Philp and Co.
