Results Of Opening Day Of Membership c a m paignI Are Told At Kiwanis Club Luncheon Yesterday At Noon

A double -barreled meeting featured the weekly luncheon of the Kiwanis club at the Y. M. C. A. yesterday when 1 1t was conducted in conjunction with the first luncheon of the Greater Phoenix workers, who started yester- day morning to effect the reorganiza- ton of the chamber of commerce and took the first step towards making Phoenix a better place in which to live.
 Although the day was Washington birthday and also the first day of the great Shrine dedicatory and initiatory exercises. and also despite the fact that the campaign had opened but a few hours before, the team captains were able to announce that 149 new mem bers of the chamber of commerce had been signed up and that $1140 had been subscribed to the service fund of the reorganized institution
 The combined meeting was under the direction of Kiwanian J.. c. Dob bins who, after making a few an- nouncements, introduced A. Henderson Stockton, speaker of the day, who de- livered a brief but interesting address which was in part an eulogy of George Washington and in part a call for CO., operation in the Greater Phoenix campaign. The gist of his remarks follows:
 Call for Co., operation
 If the life of great men teaches us anything, it seems to me that it teaches the value of service-pure service-to our fellowman. It is only a little less than 9 quarter of an hour ago that I was requested to speak to this gather ing, and it was only because a great and n0WaFfrIl fhano at hand that | ventured to accede to the request. Fortunately we are engaged in a great effort to serve Phoenix and to serve Arizona-an effort in which we are bound to succeed and in which we have dedicated our best energies. When I reflect upon the work be- ing done in the schools to bring home to the citizens of tomorrow the gran deur of the life of George Washington, I am not surprised that we could bring together in a school house last even ing the representation of the best citi- zenship in Phoenix in the opening of a campaign for the benefit of all the peo- pie of this city
 "I was skeptical of success when this campaign started, but last night I learned that we have become united in the effort to put Phoenix and Ari- zona on the map. Every day the worth of the service that George Washington accOmpuSned Is brought nome to us and is bearing fruit. We cannot con- sider his labors in the slightest without being better citizens or without know ing that we can afford to set aside and consecrate a part of our lives to the betterment of those around us." Following Mir. Stocktons address a few announcements concerning the campaign were made by Mai L. W. Deputy, campaign director, after which the results of the mornings work wtas tabulated The meeting adjourned with the mass singing of a number of parodies on popular airs which had to do with the work of the campaign.
