Address delivered by Justice Jesse W. Carter of the Supreme Court of California for the Redding Rotary Club at Redding, California, on February the 24th, 1955 on the 50th anniversary of the Rotary International typescript.

A general discussion on the ideals, merits, and goals of the Rotary Club with emphasis on "service above self", fellowship, justice, and tolerance, as well as Carter's remembrance of his work in establishing the Rotary Club at Redding in 1924. Also, Carter discusses postwar WW2 "hate groups" and the danger to "democratic institutions" by supporting either the extreme right or the extreme left, nothing that the fellowship endorsed by the Rotary cannot coexist in a climate of hate and intolerance.
