KIWANIS


his seat at the banquet board last
night in the rooms of the Chamber
of Commerce, he found a card at his
place reading as follows: The
Chamber of Commerce welcomes the
Kiwanis Club in their new home. If
you are half as glad to be with US as
we are to have you then we are satis-
f:e1.' This hearty welcome of the
Chamber was deeply appreciated by
the Club and before the meeting was
over a resolution was enthusiastical-
ly passed thanking the Chamber for
this welcome.
The rooms of the Chamber are ex-
cel. emily suited for the assem- bling
of the Kiwanians, and the club feels
happy and fortunate at being able
to make use of these rooms.
The meeting last evening was
characterized with more than the
usual sparkle and pep. The enter
tainment features were the sort that
really entertain. Shep Bryan and
Steve Anderson, who arranged the
program for the evening, announced
that the Domino Five, the we'll
known youthful orchestra of Wilson,
had volunteered it's services for the
pleasure of Kiwanis. This orchestra
rendered selections throughout the
dinner and later it's members sang
solos, quartettes, etc. A rising vote
of appreciation was given this or
chestra.
Several interesting talks were
made, some by members and some
by guests of the Club. These guests
were Vernon Ferrell, of Petersburg,
Va, H. L. Stanton, Of Raleigh, E.
Oettinger, Of Cleveland, O., Judge J..
L. Horton, of Farmville, and Jonas
Oettinger of Wilson. Judge Horton
was introduced by Bryce Little as
the youngest and best Superior
Court Judge in North Carolina. There
is no question about Judge Horton
being the youngest judge on the
bench in our state, and if the i'm
preston he has made on Wilson
county during the two weeks he has
held court here is a fair test, 1t
can be rightly said that he is one of
the most popular and able judges OF
the time. -
John House, chairman of the
Steering Committee, read letter
from Congressman Kitchin assuring
the club of his efforts to secure fer
Wilson a $175,000 post office and
Federal court building. This letter

that Bill Lucas, Chairman of the
Committee, would instruct
Casper as to the meaning and pur-
pose of Kiwanis. Bill responded in
one of his usual brilliant and enter
tanning talks. Among other things
he stated that Kiwanis had now
reached that stage in its evolution
where it could be called "a driving
force to newer and better objectives. .
