ENSLEY LEA ] [ RS TO HEAR PETITION
KiWanis Secretary Will Foster Foundation Of Local
 Club
ENSLEY BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HERALD ! E.nslex Aln Iune G

Ensley business and professional men are being invited to meet Thurs day afternoon at 3:30 o'clock in the directors room of the Bank of Ems ley for the purpose of hearing q pres entation of the Kiwanis club by Dis trict Secretary Jeff Bailey of Btr- mingham, who has succeeded in get ting the international Organization to grant charter to Ensley
 Two men from each business or profession are taken into Kiwanis clubs.
 Mir. Bailey will explain the de- tails of the organization to those Invited Thursday afternoon, and it is believed he will find no trouble in getting the necessary members in Ensley. The matter has been under consideration here for the past sev- eral months, and the return of dele- gates from Fairfield to the Interna- tional convention just concluded last week in Atlanta, has added impetus to the proposed organization. The Fairfield club received a charter on May 15, just in time to send delegates to the international convention.
 There are now .046 Kiwanis clubs in the United States and Canada and the membership numbers S5.000 of the leading business and profe ssional men of North America. Nc Kiwanis club has ever given up Its charter, and every club that has received a charter is now functioning and doing splendid work in it's community.
 District Secretary Jeff Bailey is one of the most successful builders of Kiwanis clubs on the international staff, having increased the number of clubs in Alabama and Florida. his district, from three clubs to 4S in the past two years. The club he re- gently launched at Fairfield Is pro- gressing splendidly and the mem bers are doing some real civic work as well as enjoying their weekly meetings immensely.
 The fact that there is Kiwanis club at Bessemer, Fairfield and Bir- mingham will make it exceptionally nice for members to visit, and have representatives of those clubs visit Ensley when this club is completed, the outside utilization in Kiwanis being one of the big items in con sidering membership.

FAIRFIELD UNABLE TO' AGREE ON PRICE OF PROPOSED SCHOOL LOT.
Educational Board Says $3,000 Per Acre Is Too
 High
FAIRFIELD BUREAU 1
 THE AGE-HERALD ] Fairfield, Ala, June 6

Although sentiment or the me m . bers of the board of education pres ent was to turn down the offer for school sites from the McQueen-P Per kins- Walker interest and the Burgin interests, the final vote was post poned at a meeting held Wednesday. Members present wanted everyone of the board to vote on the rejection of the offers AS predicted by The Age Herald Monday the board felt that the price of S3,000 per acre was too much to pay for the property. It is stated that the board members felt that s2.500 would have been ample for the properties and this sum will be the offer from the city. The own CTS of the site arc aware that the board of education cannot obtain any site in Fairfield approaching the one under consideration, as Fairfield is so situated that acreage is not avail able.
 It is believed that the city will ask the courts for the land for school purposes under statutes provided for cases of this kind unless the owners modify the price set.
 It was announced that another meeting of the board would be called in a few days when every member would be present to either make the rejection unanimous or it's accep- tance that way.
 The site in question Is to be used for a high school and grammar school combined, with a boulevard circling the property with several lots available to the owners which would increase very much in value. This property is the sole land avail-- able in Fairfield for school purposes.
