| KIWANIANS meet
TO OBSERVE OPENING
| MONTREAL SESSION

Observing with Kiwanis Clubs all
over the United States and Canada
the Zero hour" period at o'clock.
Eastern Standard time. last evening,
the Augusta Kiwanians at their
meeting at the Augusta House de-
voted the time to introspection and
the get-together was declared by
many to be the most profitable held
for long time.
On account of the early hour.ip
the evening that the meeting was
called, the members were unable to
receive reports by radio of the pro-
/ ceedings at the International Con-
veation being held at Montreal
Canada, and in the absence of this
feature planned, each and every
member in attendance was called
upon by the vice president. Frank
G. harrington, to tell just what XII
wants means to him. The impromptu
! remarks brought forth grist OF
ideas, all showing that the spirit OF
the organization is strong in the
hearts of the members.
The meaning of Kiwanis as inter.
preted in some of the remarks was
as follows: "A social and service
giving opportunity; service;
"comradeship" religion in action:
good fellowship and sociability'' F;
getting out of ones SHELF; friend
ship: better citizenship; getting
an uplift-" Some of the members
showed their full appreciation of the
organization by declaring that II
meant everything" to them. Sec
rotary Everett H. Maxcy was au-
thorized to prepare a telegram en-
bodying the gist of these remarks
and forward it to the International
Convention.
Using a six-tube Radiola "a Sup
err Hetrodyne portable receiving set,
Earle Church endeavored to bring
the Convention addresses to the Au-
gusta meeting, but due to atmo-
spheric conditions the reception was
very faint the early part of the eve
ming. 1t strengthened, however, as
the time went on. until at the ad-
journmen of the session the pro-
grams from the various transmitting
stations were coming in with plenty
| of volume but considerable static.
t. Word from the convention was re-
ceived, however, in the following
! telegram from r. Halsey Jackson OF
| the Augusta Club: Convention in
| full swing. No one can appreciate
| Kiwanis who has not attended one
Hope you can get tonight's meeting
