wants was celebrated by the Americus

fair al the Windsor last night, at

was still broader meaning to the
word better. and that Kiwanis was
giving it this broader meaning. He
said that the meaning Of Kiwanis
really had never been defined, and
that it probably never would be- de.
fined, since it means to every mem
Der lust what>he personally it putting
into itand getting out Of it.
A feature of the program was the
presentation to Eugene A. Bailey
who is soon to leave the ranks Of
the bachelor members, Of a handsome
chest of silverware.
A five minute talk on the history
of the growth of Kiwanis was made
by ]. Lewis Ellis, past president Of
the local club. and two minute talks
on what KiwarE has meant to then
were made bl Fred Smith, w. T
Lane, and w. M. JONES' A cracker
eating contest, won by r. L. Edwards
