The meeting had been called for the purpose of adding im petus to the financial campaign in or der to secure renewals of subscrip tions from former donors and to Teach as many new contributors as possible. After the 10 or a dozen club presi dents in attendance had agreed to ap point special finance committees to start in this campaign in conjunction with the Festival management, Fred Spoeri, vice-president of the Rotary Club, jumped up and said: "I have been sent here officially by our club and instructed to say that the Rotarians will meet every 'ante' and 'call' every 'raise,' and that further more we defy any organization in the city of Portland to outbid us.
