Louie And The News - A Club Tradition

The late Louis "Peanuts" Breading was recognized in the club history with the following:

Past President - 1949-1950

L.N. "Pete" Thorn Award - 1981

 "The untiring efforts of our Past President, Louis "Peanuts" Breading.  To see to it that we did not miss out on anything that would be fun either for ourselves or our children in the line of sports, he instigated Father and Son big league baseball (Cubs games) and pro football games (Chicago Bears).  He created a real interest in Little League activities, bowling and volley ball matches.  On top of all this, "Peanuts" has given us the "Up-to-the-Minute News".  A real Rotarian plus!"

 "Peanuts" presented the news beginning in 1960 for over 20 years.  Each week "Louie and the News" is presented in his honor.

A REAL STAR

 In early 1940, Kate Smith, a fiercely patriotic American, and the biggest star on radio, was deeply  worried about her country. 
 
  She asked Irving Berlin if he could give her a song that would re-ignite the spirit of American patriotism and faith.  He said he had a song that he had written in 1917, but never used it.  He said she could have it.
 
 She sat at the piano and played it and realized how good it was.  She called Mr. Berlin and told him that she couldn't take this from him for nothing. So, they agreed that any money that would be  made off the song would be donated to the Boy Scouts of America. 
 
Thanks to Kate Smith and Irving Berlin, the Scouts have  received millions of dollars in royalties.
 
 This clip is from the movie "You're in the Army Now".  You will see a familiar face in this-one that we are all very proud of.
 
Frank Sinatra said that when Kate Smith, whom he considered the greatest singer of his age, first sang  this song on the radio, a million guys got 'dust' in their eyes and had to wipe the tears the 'dust' caused.   
 
If you can watch and listen without 'dust' getting in your eyes, you have no soul.

Sit back and enjoy a Real Star.
