KIWANIS


sidered by the Kiwanians at their
meeting last evening was the Will
son Y. NJ C.. A. The president In
stirring talk, called the matter to
the attention of the club. He re-
ferred to the fine progress of the
Y. NJ C. A. under the capable man
agement of Mr.. West under a very
negligible financing, and stated that
the effectiveness of the organization
could be immensely increased il the
people of Wilson would erect build
ing for it and fortify it with suffi-
cient funds. The matter was dis
cussed by numerous members and
the consensus of opinion was that the
time was ripe for Wilson to get SOL
idly and enthusiastically behind it's
Y. NJ. C. A. A motion was made and
unanimously carried that in the opin-
ion of the club the time was oppor-
tune and propitious for the erecting
of a Y. VI. c. A. building by the full
citizenship of Wilson and that the
club would cooperate with the other
organizations in Wilson in patting
on a campaign for the purpose. With
out soliciting Messrs. Louis Tomlin-
son, Bill Adams and Sid Clark stat
ed they would back the proposition
up to the extent of a thousand dol
lars each. And it was evident that
many other members of the club
would give literally for the purpose
The Conference Committee of the
club was instructed to communicate
this action and attitude of the club

3 Only the act that court meets
here on the oath and the County Fair
holds forth during that week will
prevent very large number of XII

1t was decided at this meeting that
the club would have a banquet dur

EN- by the club in reference to the
7. M. c. A. and most heartily en-
dorsed it. Mr.. Green spoke very
highly of the town of Wilson. Bill
