KTWANIS CLUB
FOR AMENDMENT
Club Endorses Constitutional Change
that Would Give State More Road
Money and More Good Highways

Dr. Dillon presided over the meet
ing of the Kiwanis Club Wednesday
and had charge ci the program. Alex
Shipley, as the first speaker on the
program, said Clovis was the best
town in the country. Speaking of
paving, Mr.. Shipley said he would
like to see more of the streets of
Clovis paved and expressed the opin-
ion that he frankly believed that
there is more money on deposit in
the banks of Clovis now that there
would have been il there had been no
paving this past year, notwithstand-
ing the fact that the paving has cost
good deal of money.
Hon. l.. A. Gillett, State High
way Engineer, was present and made
an interesting talk to the club on
good roads. Mr.. Gillett pointed out
much Of the work being done and
planned to be done by the highway
department and explained SOME
points about the proposed road bond
amendment that comes up in Septem-
Der and put that issue before those
present in very favorable light
Mr.. Gilett explained that the FEEDER
al Government had appropriations
for keeping up the road work that
were only available when met by
funds from the states and the pro
posed bond issue was for this pur
pose. His talk met with favor among
the Kiwanians and they were con.
vinced that the passage Of the amend
ment would not onl;' be good thinl
for Curry County but for the STATE
as well. A resolution was introduc
ed favorlhg the passage of the rOa,
bond amendment and it was passed
by the club. The resolution is pub
lished elsewhere in this issue.

GRADY HIGHWAY
WORK TO START
State Highway Engineer Gillett An
nounces Bids for Work Will be
Received in Few Weeks.

Work will soon commence on the
Grady road project that has been un-
der contemplation for sometime.
l.. A. Gillett, State Highway Engi-
neer, has been in Clovis this week and
in Il talk before the Chamber of Com
merce and also the Kiwanis Club Mr..
Gillett said he would at once adyer-
tise for bids for the construction of
the road work north of town. Mr..
Gillett says he has purposely delayed
this work for few weeks on account
of the wheat hauling. Working the
road will necessarily inconvenience
the grain haulers and il was the idea
TO wait until the greater part Of the
wheat had been hauled to the eleva-
tors. BY advertising for bids now
actual work will commence about the
middle of November and be complet-
ed sometime next spring
100000 Project
100000 has been set aside fol
completing this road project. The
work will consist of six miles of hard
surfaced road over the first draw
north Of town where the grade will be
reduced to six per cent Further Out
at Running Water Draw, seven mile,
will be hard surfaced. This will also
include what is known as the Grow
Flat.
These improvements will make &
wonderful highway possible to thu
great wheat belt Of the north part
Of the county. II the road bon,
amendment carries this fall, it il
probable that this will be a hard sur
faced road from Clovis to the county
line

m. the COmmandery entertained with
a reception, doing the honors grace
fully to large number of callers.
The knights participated in the big

conclave.:
Paris people were fervid in their
praise of the hospitality extended
them by the people of Oft. Sterling,
who they stated, left nothing undone
to insure the comfort of their guests.
The arrangements were perfect in all
things and were carried out with
regularity, the whole program going
along, just as planned, without
hitch.
Some of the Paris "boys" wilted
perceptably during the long march,
and dropped out of line. Opposed to
this was the inspiring sight of an
eighty-year-old young Sir knight,
Charles Reikel, of the Cynthiana
Commandery. who went the whole
route with head erect and with as
light a step as did many of the
younger generation of marchers.

MED by the Boys Band from the Odd
Fellows Home at Lexington, who
furnished delightful music at the re-
ception, and inspiring march tunes in
