be RodC1Gu
 With members of the Kiwanis club accomplishing the apparently. impos- sible yesterday, the Rotarians seeking to break the record set by the other business organizations and the cam paign workers as a whole resolved on bringing the drive to a brilliant finish, the campaign for a reorganized cham Der of commerce and a greater and better Phoenix was advanced nightly yesterday. The final reports will be made at a luncheon at the Y. M. c. A. at 12:15 o'clock today, when it is ex- pected that the service fund drive will go over the top in as definite fashion as did tho membership campaign yes- terday.
 The feature of yesterdays work was the results achieved by tho Kiwanis club. On Monday the members of the club began a free-lance search for new chamber of commerce members and subscribers to the service fund of that organization. At the same time the Rotarians sent out 15 teams which also were to disregard all the rules of the campaign and bring in the member and the dollar from whatever lair they might have sought.
 The Kiwanians reported at the weekly luncheon of their club yester- day at the Y. M. c. A. As President Royal W. Lescher began to call the roll the flood of chamber of commerce memberships came in, until he him plause that he had to report 15 new members whom he had persuaded to sign on the dotted line within the hour The memberships registered by the Xii wanians totaled s6, while the service fund subscriptions obtained came to $S75. These results were unexpected and those in charge of the campaign expressed themselves as being grati- fled and surprised at the record set by the members of Kiwanis. In addition the Kiwanis club is 100 per cent en- rolled in the new chamber of com ] merce every member of the club hav- ing made himself a part of that or ganiZation.
 In the meanwhile the Rotarians have been working silently, and it IS be- lieved that when they report at noor today the results of almost three days work will advance the campaign ever more than did the efforts of the Xii wanians since Monday. The latter arc still at work. and with the service func committee ready to report 1t seems certain, according to those who are al recting the drive, that Phoenix vii have achieved another success wher the figures of the campaign are taou- lated this afternoon.
 l Adding IA new chamber of commerce. memberships which came in from va
 rious sources to the S6 reported a i the Kiwanis club meeting. the drive for members went over the top to tht tune of nearly 100 members. On Sat urday evening the campaign haC brought 7s6 new memberships, whicl
 was increased to sS6 yesterday, or s'
 more than the quota, which had be< set at 800. Another hundred will b'
 added today. it Is believed, so that ths reorganized chamber of commerce VII begin it's work with a membership O
 nearly 1000.
