NEWLY ORGANIZED
LIONS CLUB OF CITY

Several Waterville business and
professional men met last evening in
the Coburn Classical Institute class
building to organize a Lions club in
this city. The me- ting was held I'M
der the direction of George A. Wood
Of Nahant, Mass, who has been in
the city for some time making neces-
sary preparations for this organiza-
ton. At the meeting Walter s. Aus
tin was elected president Of the club,
Walter B. Lawry, secretary and
George p. Pooler, tail twister. The
charter list will be kept open until
% members are obtained and not un-
til then will the entire slate Of off,
will be held Tuesday evening at the
Elmwood hottl.
Mr.. Wood has compiled a number
Of facts concerning the organization
which might be of interest.
There are Lions clubs In every
state in the Union except Vermont.
In Maine there are two, one in Ban
gor and one in Portland, besides the
one just formed in Waterville, New
Hampshire has two, Massachusetts.
II, Rhode Island, 3 and Connecticut
9. There are q number Of clubs I'M
der construction but not yet organi-
zed.
The clubs are political. nom
sectarian, non-secret organizations
composed Of business and profess
sional men who feel an interest in the
welfare and progress Of their city
and community.
The Lions name and what 1t stands
for: Loyalty to country. community
and home. individual integrity in
thought.word and deed. Our flag,
our language. New ideals new hopes,
new ambitions in business and pro-
fession. Service that is founded on
the Golden Rule. The Lions slogan
is Liberty. Intelligence. Our Ma
tons Safety. The Lions Toast, Not
above you, not beneath you, but with
you.
The Lions code Of ethics is as fol-
lows: Ito show my faith in the
worthiness by Industrious applica-
ton to the end that I may merit a
reputation for quality of service; .
To seek success and to demand all
fair remuneration or profit as my
lust due. but to accept no profit or
success at the price of my own self

careful with my criticisms and liber-
al with my praise; to build up and
not destroy.
The principles Of the Lions Club
are: Full and hearty cooperation
with all other clubs. the Chamber of
Commerce and other civic and COM
mercial organizations, in all move
ments in the community which seek
to promote any betterment, civic,
Industrial or educational, and any
plans looking towards the elimina-
ton of class distinction.
Promotion OF public health, ny
giene and sanitation, especially
among those wko need instruction
and guidance in the care and feed
ing of children.
Being an organization thoroughly
loyal to our government 1t is our
special interest to advance educa-
ton in the language. customs, ideals
and governments of our countries,
especially among adults of foreign
birth.
Strict ADHERENCE to the highest
code of ethics III business and So
cfal relations.
The biggest asset of any nation
being its people. one of the cardinal
points of Lionism is the cultivation
of a spirit of. genuine brotherhood
among men.
Mr.. Wood declared: There are
many problems of our time which
can be aided by organizations of
this kind in which men get together
and talk over the great problems.
There is an infinity of problems and
just such clubs as Lions, Rotary and
Kiwanis form the nucleus in which
thinking men get together for dis
cussion and a movement toward So
luton"

Symphonic Concert
Sunday Auspices
American Legion

There are still a few available in
vitations for the Symphonic Orches-
trail Concert Sunday afternoon at the
City Opera House. At the request
of the committee in charge, people
who had obtained invitations and
subsequently found that they would
be unable to attend, have been re-
turning these invitations SO that they
could be used by others. Owing to
the necessary limitation of atten-
dance it has been difficult to accom-
modate all those wishing to obtain
invitations and the committee has
been hard put to get a sufficient
number. According to present indi-
cations all the guarantorS tickets
have been disposed of but there were
about 90 invitations available for
distribution at Choate's music store
last evening. These will be on dis
tribution today and tomorrow as
long as they last except for the num-
Der to be reserved for those attend
ing from Portland and lewiston.
There is a small number of invita-
tions which will be allowed to the
younger people, those under 16 years
Of age and who are interested in
music. Some of these have been
contributed by certain citizens for
this purpose and others have been
allotted by the committee. 1t is not
expected that these youngsters will
make contributions such as the. av-
erage older person is doing but 1t is
hoped that a small sum, just enough
to show their interest and to let
them feel that they are taking part
in helping put on this concert with
the older citizens. AS this number
is limited and ii will be q case of
first come first served. it Is suggest
ed that any boy or girl wishing to
go apply early at Choate's music
store.

certain members of the Legion, there
has been a disposition on the part
of some to refuse to contribute to
