FRANK S. BETz
JOINS KIWAN|ANS
Millionaire in Speech Says
He Got His Start Co.
ing to Church.

A. Murray Turner led Frank S
Betz into the Kiwanis dining room
this noon and proceed to make
Turneresque speech about Frank.
Murray said that Frank borrowed
$50 from a banker in his home town
in Wisconsin and that the banker
annoyed him so much about 1t he
either had to pay it back or leave
the berg and so he came to Ham
mond.
In rebuttal. Frank, who is the
newest member of the growing club
denied the allegation and challenged
the alligator. He said that the fact
Of the matter was that he left his
home town at the tender age of IL
years to escape the town marshal
after he had put big fire cracker
under the preacher at Fourth OF
July celebration. He never heard,
he said, what became of the preach
er. but he trusted he was IN Heaven.
Mr. Betz then told how he came
to be religious man. He said he
wen. 10 work for a man who was
the leading elder in the Methodist
church and that learning of his en-
ployers' belief he presented himself
at the NJ E. church the following
morning. sang the hymns. stayed for
Sunday school and returned in the
evening. The next day he was
promoted and church going became
a lifelong habit.
Under the influence of the warm
fellowship of the Kiwanis club Mr..
Betz became confidential and he told
many experiences of his youth In an
entertaining manner. 1t was ap-
parent that Murray Turner will now
have a rival in the club for honors
as the wtttiest after dinner speaker.
Betz has a manner all his own.
1t was a mistake that George Geyer,
Carl Nelson. DR.. w. H Davis, p.
J. Mann and J. W. Beckwith, who
are attending the Kiwanis Inter
national convention at Toronto. did
not take him along. His spekh
would have been the hit of the con-
ventlon.
The Kiwanians gave him a big
ovation and said they heartily ap-
roved of his getting rid of his
wealth in such laudaoie ways as
buying summer camps for Boy
Scouts, founding institutions such
as the Brooks House and buying
lots for the Presbyterian church,
Murray Turner said it might be
a good idea for Frank to go back to
his home town and pay the banker
