Tuesday, February 27, 1940, Sapulpa Herald: Tulsans Speaks at Rotary Club
“The Rotary club members heard a fine address by Dr. McKenzie of Tulsa, using the crippled children’s work for his subject. The doctor says that this kind of work is his hobby and his explanation of how the crippled children’s law works and how the children are located and treated was very interesting. One statement of peculiar interest to his hearers was that while the work is almost exclusively charity work, very few of those treated or their parents ever express any gratitude. Dr. McKenzie’s talk was not only interesting but instructive as the Rotary club has long been identified with this work. On March 6 the Bristow club will have its annual minstrel show and inter-city meet. A large number of the members of the local club with their Rotary-Anns plan to attend.”
