. shinnston took a flying start for
the Kiwanis goal last night when
an enthusiastic meeting was held
in the Harmer undertaking rooms,
at which almost half enough mem
bcrss were pledged / 70: secure the
charter, and without hardly a can
vas among the business classihca=
tions. Al temporary organization
was formed, Criss Frame being
elected president and Harvey Fer
guson secretary.
The meeting last night followed
} survey Of the situation made by
Lee N. Satterfeld, county clerk,
who did so following a request that
zane from some Of the business
men Of Shfnnston to tho Fairmont
:lub, Mr.. Sattertield having been
appointed 4 week ago to 60 over
the matter. Mr.. Satterfeld has
been close TO the business men OF
Shinnston for a number Of years,
and his intimate acquaintance with
them made him the natural organ
iIer, which accounts in no small
degree for the success of the move
thus far.
After listening to the objects of
the meeting as stated by Mr.. Sat
terrified, Jack Abbott took the floor
and gave a detailed outline Of the
manner In which a club may be
organized, its modus operandi, OBJ
jects, etc, in the community. Jack
Meredith was introduced who spoke
on the value Of the club as an asset
to the city Of ShinnSton, and made
corking good address as he al
ways does on Kiwanian subjects.
Bert Leopold, who was prominently
identified with the organization Of
the Fairmont club also gave some
valuable tips on the character of
members the new club should take
in, and dropped some hints on or
ganiZation. It was decidedfhat the
club would send for the state or
ganizer, Mr.. Barry, and the organ
ization expects to be ready for
their charter in two weeks at the
outside.
Last night the following signified
their intention of becoming mem-
bers: DR.. C. C. Cofindaffer, Il. II.

The only disappointment in con.
nection with the trip was the in
ability Of the Fairmont club to give
an aerial performance, due to the
accident that befell the plane Sun.
day afternoon. Bob Beebe IN q
short talk assured the Shinnston
folks that he was just as much dis
appointed as they were, and prom
ised that as soon as the repairs
could be made on his machine that
he would show them some stunts.

BUILDING WORK
RECOVERY SLOW
Record Of Week Shows Only II
Permits Issued for Work to
Cost $6,4Ss.

A better showing was made in
the amount OF new building work
begun In Rock Island during the
last week. John A Lindros. city
building inspector. issued II per-
mits foe work estimated to cost
$5,4s5.
The week previous only nine per-
rnits were issued for work esti-
mated to cost 1,1S5. This was the
lowest weekly record for months,
and caused considerable pessimism,
as the record was made during the
first week after the settlement of
the strikes of the various allied
trades unions. Many had expected
that work would boom Immediately
on settlements In the labor situa-
ton.
