sive Program Outlined For the Accomplishment of This Great
Work Which VIII Increase the Popularity of Our City

That the Lubbock Kiwanis Club
is going forward for the good Of
this section and Lubbock is proven
beyond any doubt, and now that
several important matters have been
disposed Of, and just when the
members were getting their breath
for the next job, the Board Of Di-
rectors announced that that Club
would take up the work Cf making
Lubbock "The City Beautiful and
a program outlined along those lines
was carried out at the Ian heon at
the Manhattan Cafe yesterday with
such splendid speakers as Percy
Spencer, W. o. Stevens. Raleigh
Martin and Charles Ferguson. with
appropriate songs by Miss Lucille
Garrison and two we'll selected
readings by Mrs. Curtis A. Keene.
The Kiwanians in Lubbock are
alert to everything the times bring
up, and at no time is it more OPP
perfume TO strike home the fact that
we can make this one Of the most
beautiful places on all the Plains,
and II was suggested by one Of the
speakers that 1t would not only en-
large our high ideal Of this as .
place to live, but that the tourist
from other places might look upon
our town with admiration, and
spread the good word in their path
that Lubbock is all the newspapers
say 1t is and knowing as We do
that this is one of the most ad-
vertised towns in the State we may
well realize the value of such pro-
paganda TO this section and Lub-
book.
There is not a Kiwanian in the
Club that is there for personal gain
that is not the intentions of XII
wants, nor the policy Of those at
the head of this Club, and when it
is realized that here we have fifty
men whose time and energy is
placed into the work outlined in
this Club for the making of better
things and creation of higher ideals
in Lubbock we can better recognize
the immense amount Of work that
they will be able to accomplish
within the expanse Of the first year.
Towns don't happen-they are
built" has been the slogan Of our
Chamber Of Commerce secretary in
the many articles written exposing
the advantages of coming to this
section. and that the Kiwanis Club
is going 20 do a great deal toward
placing its slogan into practice and
matorializing the ideals and dreams
Of kiwanis. and she International
slogan build" is readily rec
ognized by all close observers. and
for one to mix and mingla with the
members Is 60 acquaint himself
with the spirit that has made Lub-

or ia accomplishing his part Of the
work in making Lubbock "the City
Beautiful and none can refuse to
do their part, as the Kiwanians are
going 10 furnish flower seeds, help
and what-not in the accomplishment
Of this great work.
To speak of the native state Of
most Of our citizens and the nat
ural beauty Of the old homesites
emphasizes only the fact that the
creator was good 20 tha, section,
and endowed Il with all the beauty
conceivable, but TO make this town
an oasis in a land where shrubbery
has 90 be planted, and where the
beautiful yards, lawns and the like
are indexes o. industrious owners,
requires no little time and labor,
but kiwanis in Lubbock is ont to
