Praises Local Secretary
The secretary OF the club should
have the hearty cooperation Of each
and every member and so should the
officers and directors. For there is
q great amount of work 20 be done
and everyone must aid.
The work Of the Kiwanis Club is
en inspiration, and l love II. There
is something about it that appeals
to me.
The selfish purpose which existed
in organizations long ago, has been
excluded from the Kiwanis Club. Any
one joining the kiwanis Club now
a-days with a selfish purpose is bound
TO be disappointed.

which the 5usi.,s K!wanis Club is
dong, ana related an incident where
they had raised $4,000 BY running
a rattle, and with the money pur-
chased street markers for every in
