] was the Mercy Home Thanksgiving 1 dinner; there were three Christmas dinners. and presents for the inmates l of the State Industrial School for Girls

 ball games for charity in Birminghan land Albany.
 ! And perhaps the most far-reachine
 movement ever started in the club life oi 1 Birmingham, the creation of the Inter- l club council for the co-ordinating of the work of the civic clubs, which movemen. was conceived in our own directors
 meetings, from which the invitation to this council was extended
 'The committees have been especially active. It would be unfair to mention some and not others, but time does not permit a resume of their activities. l do wish most earnestly to recommend the work of the fellowship committee under John Haralson. He has been tireless and in a quiet way has done much indeed to draw the men closer together.
 Winnie Currie of the glad hand com mittee has been on the job at every meet ing, I think. Colonel Smith, on public affairs: Mercer Barnett. on programme; i; Ray Schultz on sports, and c. M. Stan
 ley. on publicity, have done their full stint.

 tIn concluding. I want to express my own appreciation and that of the club to three people without whom the club could not have prospered as it has. Bright among this galaxy of stars is Cimply Natural Wiley, the best secre- tary, verify believe any kiwanis club ever had. Words cannot do justice to the way in which he has given of his time and brains and glowing personality 10 the lulliill1enl or HIS tdSh. lHiHfN as wise thing ass you have ever done was to retain him at his post. I<wanis could not afford to lose him. i And there Is Andrew Jackson Arranf. He has carried the money bags. and at times they have been extremely heavy, because there was so little in them. But l Andy has worked and steered our craft ! through shoal waters in safety. His ap- pointment as trustee was stroke ot {, genius.
 "Nor would this trio be complete with
 out one other name This persons work | ing hours have never been governed by I the clock. but always by the task to be done. and often nights and Sundays have | found her at her desk-and smiling The
 work of the office has been made a joy to all concerned. and the office ha;
 been made a Kiwanis home The routine
 work has been faithfully and splendidlJ dcne by Mrs. Florence Tarrant. 1 And so I thank you fellows and pas | this gavel on to one who I know vii
 wield it with more grace than I. bu
 who will never get more happiness ou | of it than I have known"
