Thhgs.

With the appointment OF l. Macy
I'arkman to the Office of secretary
Of the Aledo Kiwanis club, the Of
fees Of the club are now all filled.
Mr.. Parkman, who was appointed
to the Office by the board OF direc-
tors, is a man who is ably fitted
to fill what is perhaps the most
important position in the organ
ization.
The value Of . Kiwanis club in
Aledo cannot be overestimated. The
competitive basis upon which mod
ern business is conducted has tend
ed to promote the accumulation OF
wealth rather than higher mo-
tive for business enterprise. XII
wanians see in their respective vo-
cations opportunities to serve their
fellow men. Service to others be-
comes the motif Of the kiwanian's
life. With the thought that kiwan-
is is the doorway through which
the busy man passes from selfish
ness to service and from solitude
into kinship with humanity, AledO
is expecting great things Of the
newly organized club.
At the charter meeting held Mon
day evening Carl LeBuhn of Dav-
export was the principal speaker.
e. C. Cole and Bert Frahm, also
of Davenport, were present at the
meeting. Short talks were also
given by r. B. Merritt and R. L.
Watson, members of Aledo's XII
| wants club, and a new club song
was learned, with P. S. Richey act
ing as leader.
In his talk Mr.. LIE BUM explain
ed in detail the work that other
Kiwanis clubs are doing. "Kiwanis
is not a secret society,"" said Nj.
LeBuhn, but it is an organization
of business men who are seeking
for the betterment Of the commun-
ity. The meaning of the name XII
wants is to build and it is our
effort to build better citizenship.
better friendships and better conf
munity spirit. The ideals upheld
by the Kiwanis clubs helps each
member to live up to the golden
rule, ito do unto others as you
would have others do unto you.
This rule followed in business has
never caused a business failure.
