President Kisow of Racine Urges
Friendly Feeling Between Cities.

BY unanimous vote, the
ESL5SA Kenosha Kiwanis Club, at
WNI yesterday s pow-wow in
GnI the Kiwanis room of the
Hotel Kenosha, accepted
the invitation of the Racine Kiwanis
Club to be its guest at an evening din
ner in the Hotel Racine in the near
future, and Secretary Otis L. Trenary
was directed to SO notify the Indians
in the reservation to the north.
President Kisow of the Racine club,
when here week ago, was impressed
with the marvellous growth of the
Kiwanis movement in Kenosha in SO
short time. He was also impressed
with the "pep'' which animates the
local Kiwanis club. Turning to Keno
sha's big chief, Charles H., Ernst,
Kisow. said: HEOur cities are only ten
miles apart. You have business ideas
here that are Invaluable to US, and
doubtless the same is true with our
business men. We want to know you
all here better. Anyway, we want all
the Kenosha Indians to come over and
pay us a visit at an evening blowout
and let US show you what we can do
in the way Of hospitality Kisow
went back TO Racine and toll the
Kiwanis members there of the activity
and enthusiasm Of the Kiwanis fell
lows here, and on the next mail came
the formal invitation, which has been
accepted. The date has been left to
the Racine club to decide, and the
Kenosha braves will go over in autos.
Yesterdays meeting of the Kenosha
Kiwanis Club was by far the largest
yet. The membership is growing at a
pace which will make necessary the
holding Of the Tuesday pow-wows in
the main dining room of the Hotel
Kenosha within week or two. The
guest Of honor for the occasion was
Secretary Maddox of the Kenosha Re
tail Dealers Association, who paid a
handsome compliment to the Kiwanis
movement in general and the growth
of the local Kiwanis organization.
FFI am glad to see,' said he, "the
liveness, the activity, the friendship
and goodfellowship which animates
your organization. BY meeting here
once a week, as you are doing, you
are becoming better acquainted and
are accomplishing indirectly many
things which will rebound to you N
business which may computed actually
in dollars ard cents. Each one of you
has problems which will be solved by
the, interchange Of business ideas to be
had by touching elbows weekly with
other business and professional men. -
Secretary Maddox found among the
Kiwanis members many live business
men who affiliate with the Retail
Dealers Association, and it was with
pleasure that he explained the activi-
ties of that organizat; on for the bene-
fit of those who are not members, de-
voting particular attention to credits
and collections, which are important
features of that organization.
Hal P. Denton, state Kiwanis or
ganizer for Wisconsin, being called
upon by President Ernst, told what
the Kiwanis movement is accomplish
ing for almost thirteen thousand mem
bers in more than a hundred cities of
the United States and Canada, and ex-
planned wherein the Kiwanis Club is
distinctively different from any other
business organization, and how it has
thrived by eliminating civics, politics
and religion.
