KIWANIS FIXES
S8OOOFORS.A
YEARLYBUDGET
Plan Drive at Luncheon al
Rainbow; Singer Wants
Work Consolidated.

A budget of $4,000 for the Salvation
Army work for next year VIII be the
aim of the Kiwanis club in seeking
community support of the project, ac-
cording to the report given by Leon
Singer for the drive committee at the
luncheon meeting in the Palm room of
the Hotel Rainbow Mondsy.
Of the $4,000, the committee planned
that 1.5OO would be used in forming
a sinking fund to retire the mortgage
on the Salvation Army armory The
committee set a limit OF $625 as the
amount that would be given to the
national organization from the Great
Falls budget. The tentative date set
for the Great Falls campaign vas the
week beginning with the first Monday
in November. Of the $500 of last
year, some $1,375 remains. which will
be enough to complete the year, Singer
reported.
Community Chest Discussed
DR.. C. C. Albright brought up the
question of making a drive should a
community chest campaign be decided
upon as had been suggested by the
Round Table. The club voted to ac-
cent the report of the committee
with the understanding that should
the community chest idea be adopted
it would be made to conform.
That the Kiwanis club should take
the initiative in consolidating the work
of charity organizations of the city,
was the plea of Singer. He said that
four organizations. the county, Asso-
ciated Charities, Red Cross and Sal
walton Army, are now doing this work.
He urged that this work be narrowed
to the county and the Salvation Army,
arguing that the Salvation Army han
died these funds through an organiza-
ton working without salary and that
virtually all of it reached the poor,
while other organizations, operating
with paid superintendent and office
help, sometimes results in only a half
of their funds being actually effective.
The entertainment portion of the
! program was in honor of the Rev.
Alexander G. Bennett, a member of
the club. who is leaving soon to accept
a Methodist Episcopal passionate III
Bremmerton. Wash.
City Builders +,
"It's hardly appropriate to ask the
minister to talk on Building a Town y
said the Rev. Mr.. Bennett. Usually
the ministers are looked upon as being
ever ready TO tell people how to run
a town
1T takes men who dream and men
who do to build a city. The dreamer
sees the vast field of possibilities for
his community. i.
"a few years ago. an aged man sat
in the city park and the children came
! and placed tributes of flowers in his
lap. 1t was Paris Gibson, the dreamer
the man Of vision who saw Great
Falls as it was to be.
Its all right to have pipe dreams
if YOU just get the right kind OF a
pipe.
Then we must have someone TO do
the constructive work that brings the
dreams true-some one to go out with
= nick and shovel to build; then some
one who will make the investment that
builds ourNdream. Talking up Il town
is n good way to build. Made in Great
| Falls is n great slogan on every pack
ing box that goes out of the city. A
beer key is the only thing that can't
carry that trademark with honor.
Build Through GoodfelIowship.
''These are the things that build, but
the most priceless thing of community
life is n~eighbors. 1t is the men who
talk to you over the back fence-the
men you meet in business life-the
men who walk with you throughout the
development of your profession thai
makes our town"
