United States and Canadian Days to
be Observed by Minot kiwanis Club

During the week of April End to
Sth is the period officially fixed as
that during which the Canadian and
United States Days" shall be observ-
ed by all kiwanis clubs throughout the
Western Hemisphere. Special efforts
will be made to foster by all means
the continued splendid relations be-
tween the two countries. kiwanis
Clubs of this Continent will set apart
the regular meeting day of that week
to be termed Canadian Day.. It is
planned to have representa- atives
enough from Canada to supply at least
one to each Kiwanis club in the
United States. Canada will likewise
set apart that week and expect rep
resentatives from here to have at
least one American visit in each XII
wants Club in Canada, thus Inter-
national Kiwanis will be put into
operation for the purpose of promot-
ing the combined splendid relations
between the United States and Can
ada"
This period was selected because it
was in April 1918 that the ne
gotiations between Great Britain and
the United States were finally COM
pleted in the Rush-Bagot arrange
ment for restricted armament upon
the Great Lakes. The plan really ac-
complished practical disarmament,
which condition typifes the fine re-
lations between the countries down
through the succeeding years.
The correspondence between the two
countries breathes the spirit of desire
for friendly relations and, therefore,
it seems particularly fitting to use
this date in setting the period for the
observance of these days, the purpose
OF which is to bring about even hap
pier relations between Canadians and
the people of the United States.
Our committee on Inter-City Re-
lations, will provide an appropriate
program for this occasion, and make
arrangements for the exchange of
speakers between the United States
and Canada.
The research in connection with this
reveals some very interesting facts.

lication in the near future.
