among the men of Kenosha and it was
at his suggestion that at this dinner at
which he was the guest of honor plan
was outlined for the formation of a
permanent organization among the men
of Kenosha who have red blood in their
veins and who are interested In the
big problems connected with the adj
vancement of the civic life Of the COM
munity.

tive of the men of Kenosha.

sha. It was suggested that gatherings
of the club be held quarterly and that
an effort be made to unite in its mem
bership hundred or more of the men
of Kenosha who are taking a real in
terest in the advancement Of the city.
It is possible that it will be called
ssThe Greater Kenosha' or the "Ke-
, nosha Fifty Thousand club but what
ever it is called it can be depended on
| to take a pretty active part in the de-
!velopment of things for Kenosha in the
! future. Chairman Ferris and the mem
.bers Of his committee are today get
/ ting in touch with officials Of the ma
tional organization of Rotary clubs and
with the officials of successful clubs of
a similar nature in other cities in this
and other states and they hope to pick
out the best from all Of these organi-
cations and include them in the consti-
tuition and bylaws Of the club planned
for Kenosha.
The officers and directors of the new
organization will be named at the sec
ond gathering in February.
