Francis E. Williams, of Macon; Har-
ny D. Reed, Of Waycross, and other
prominent Georgians who were

tees.
Mr.. Anderson spoke more than
once before the convntion, receiving
an ovation each time, particularly
when he was called on Ey Edmund
T.. Arras, international president, TO
outline Georgia's' district agricul-
tural program. Denver newspapers
also paid tribute to Georgia in the
publication of a photograph of Mr..
Anderson and an article about his
agricultural program.
Isternational President Arras, in
referring to Georgia's agricultural
movement, paid high tribute to Gov
ernor Anderson and the various
clubs in his district, CHASING the
Georgia program as one of the great
est in the entire Kiwanis connection.
Again Georgia was honored in tie
election unanimously of Henry c.
Heinz, of Atlanta, as international
treasurer without opposition. No
other Georgians were nominated, al
though it was learned from members
of the nominating body that the
