HI HUFFMAN NAMED
TEMPORARY PRESIDENT
Organizer States that There Il
Need of Such Organization
in This City

Bemidji is to have a klWanls clup.
In fact, such an organization has al
ready been effected and temporary
officers and directors chosen. There
are 351 cities in the United States
and Canada who have representation
in the Kiwanis club International.
Bemidji will make it 352.
At the request ,Of business and
professional men of Minneapolis, ~
Paul, and Duluth, who are members
of Kiwanis clubs and who are de-
sirous that other cities in the North
west adopt the Kiwanis idea, Wal
ter c.. Hampton, International field
representative of Chicago, was sent
to Bemidji to make survey OF local
conditions to recommend a charter
for .Bemidji. He came to Bemldu
a week ago and after a thorough in
vestigation, reported that there is
not only an excellent field for this
sort of organization here but that
there is a need of a Kiwanis club in
Bemidji.
At the meeting Friday afternoon,
the following men were made tenn
porary directors:
= H. L. Huffman, B. w. Lakin, Roy
Dahlberg, r. 3. Lycan, c. ". Wand
era!uis, DR.. d. F. Mccain, e. 5.

r. B. Lycan treasurer
E. p. Berman. .;.... secretary
"The membership in KiWanis
club" says MI" Hampton, "is lin
tied by being restricted to definite
business and. professional classical
tons. It's purpose, aims and ideas
require that it's mem bership be made
ND or high grade men who stand for
fair dealings, for service, for human
fellowship, and for the vital princi-
pies Of the Golden Rule. Such men
not only benefit each other ny get
ting together once a week at lunch
time, but they constitute a body in
Kiwanis which stands ready to aid
every community movement that
looks to betterment. In other words,
to use a modern ALTERATION, it is
an organization of men with purpose
pep, punch and personality, which
is real asset to the city.
'Allow me to make it clear that
the Kiwanis club in no way overlaps
or duplicates the activities of the
Civic and Commerce association or
Rotary club, but on the contrary.
history in more than 800 cities
shows that these organizations have
proved essential to the progress Of
the community. Each body has its
distinct sphere of operation and in
practically every city where they
functIn, these organizations act in
harmony with each other. Co-Opera-
ton is a basic principle from, the
community standpoint of all OF
them"
A meeting of the temporary Off
GERS and directors will be. held this
