A Kiwanis club is composed of
representative business and profes-
sional men of the city in which it is
| located and according to its conSti-
tuition may have not more than two
members from any classification in
business or profession in that city
It's object is to disseminate primer
pies of fair dealing and practices
and the observance of the "Golder
Rule" in private, civic, social and
| business life. Through it's weekly
lunch meetings a spirit of co-opera-
tion, good fellowship and fraternal-
| ism is developed among its members
while the science of business build
ing and community development is
part of it's program.
Have Many Clubs
| All large cities in the United
States and Canada, as well as many
cities as small as 1000 population
| no-' have active Kiwanis clubs
Inter-city relationship exists between
| the members and it is stated that
many community advantages have re
suited from cooperative undertak
ings originated by local clubs ane
passed on to other cities.
"The members in Kiwanis club,
says Mr.. Humpton, "are limited BY
being restricted to definite busines:
purposes, aims and ideals require
that it's membership be made up o.
high grade men, who stand for fail
dealing, for service, for human fel
lowship and for the vital principle:
of the Golden Rule. Such men no
only benefit each other by getting
together once week at lunch time
Ibut they constitute body in Kiwani
which stands ready to aid every com
munity movement that looks to bette
ment. In other words, to use mod
ernized ALTERATION, it is an organi
zation of men with purpose, per
punch and personality, which is
real asset to the city.
NO DUPLICATION
"Allow me to make it clear tha
the Kiwanis club in no way overlap
or duplicates the activities of tn
: Assoc. of Commerce, Rotary or Lion
club, but on the contrary histor
in hundred cities shows that thes
organizations have proven essential
the progress of the. community. Fac
, body has its distinct sphere Of opel
} ations and in practically every cit
where they function these organize
, ltions act in harmony with eac
other"
