Lunch Clubs Vie
for Honors in Big
Ak Member Drive
Samson Highly Pleased With
Showing Made in Round
up for 1924
Knights.

With Ak-Ssr- -Ben's campaign for
1924 members rapidly drawing to a
close, the competition between the
various groups in the monday clubs
is waxing warm.
In the Concord club the December
group, headed by Everett Dodds, is
leading by considerable number.
Will Nickel is high man in the club.
In the Rotary club the competition
is keen between the March group,
headed by Frank Haskell with "a
members, and the October group with
George Seabury captain, with Al.
The den show committee of the
Lions club, with Horace Higgins
leader, is high in that organization,
followed closely by the welfare com
mittee, captained by Roy Swanson.
In addition to the prizes offered by
Samson for the winning groups in the
Lions club these teams are battling
for a five-course dinner.
In the Kiwanis club Malcolm Bald
ridge, chairman of Ak-Sar Ben activ-
ity committee, has charged each
member with the job of bringing in
at least five members for Ak-Sar-Ben.
Quite a number of members have
already completed their quota and are
now assisting their fellow members.
Baldrige says the kiwanis club will
average five members in Alk-Sar- Ben
for every member of the club.
The results obtained by the clubs
have been satisfactory up to this
time, says Samson. Members of the
luncheon clubs who have been active
have easily reached their quota and
If the efforts are continued Samson
will open the den season June with
a credible showing.
Robert S. Trimble, chairman of the
membership committee, advised that
there would be no close in the drive
until Omaha is properly represented.
Ak-Sar-Ben cannot function without
a large membership. 1t will be of no
advantage to Omaha or the commun'
ity to conduct Ak-Sar-Ben activities
without a large membership. 1t Is up
to the men of Omaha If they want
Ak-Sar-Ben to continue in the future
$ in the last 80 years as the only or
ganization of its kind in the United
States, they must support 1t by JOIN
ing. Members are guaranteed full
value for their SO bills in personal
returns.
