PHILIPpI KIwANIs CLUB NEWS
Motto: We Build
]. Blackburn Ware, Editor


This is our slogan for next Tuesday
night, We meet at Gains Hall
promptly at 1880 p. M, Tuesday,
February 9th. DO not forget the
date nor the place. This means you,
for you are ar important cog in the
machinery of the Club, and without
you the Club cannot function prop
erly. The purpose Of cog is to
make itself useful by helping some
other cog be useful. Unless they
work together, neither will perform
any service.
The wide-awake citizens of our
sister city, have determined to form
service Club to make Belington
and to help make Barbour County
what they should be, and we are ex-
ceedingly anxious that it be a XII
wants Club, for we feel that two XII
wants Clubs in the county can render
more efficient service than one XII
wants Club, and of some other organ;-
cation.
A committee from Belington, con-
posed of H. B. Shinn, wholesale
grocer, Mn. Blakeslea, coal oper-
ator, H. A. Mccoy, station agent for
the B. & o. and Mitchell Keyser, in
the wholesale hardware business, met
with us Friday night to learn some
thing of the workings of the Club,
and it is needless to stay, that we
were glad to have them as our
guests.
We are indebted to members of tn.
Broaddus faculty and student body
and to Mrs. C. O. Phillips for
splendid program of entertainment,
which was much appreciated and we
hope they will visit us again at an
early date.
The committee from Belington
seemed very much impressed with the
fact that so many of our citizens
can meet together for the common
good and work so unselfishly for
community uplift.
That same condition will exist in
Belington or any other town that is
blessed with Kiwanis Club that has
the Kiwanis spirit. Kiwanis is
either unselfish or it is nothing. 1t
lives upon community service ard
when it cannot be of service there is
either something wrong with the
community or the Club.
Come on Belington, we are for you,
your City, the same as ours, has it's
problems to be met and solved and
your citizenship is as capable of do
ing this and doing it well, as that
If any other City or community. 1t
axes grit to face any big task, but
It becomes easy when the business
men of the town get behind it with !
he determination to win. United we
stand, divided we fall Any old horse |
IAN plod along by himself, but it
lakes two to make a team. Forty /
men pulling together can pull more I
han one MAJ pulling forty times.
We are for Barbour County first. 1t
S our county. 1t should be the pride
If every citizen, and as a Club, we
stand ready tc assist in making every
part of the County so that it's inhab.
tants will be contented and happy.
N this. every community center must
md will play an important part. We
DIN hands with Belington, and every
,ther town and community in the
county, for better County and for
'icher blessings to the citizenship Of
he County.
Let us show Belington that we are
incere, that Kiwanis spirit catches
md holds us for real service, By
arrying to them Tuesday night the
sreetings Of our Club and our CITY

heir problems.
The door of opportunity to be Of
cal service and to build for himself
n imperishable monument, is open
0 every member Of this Club.
The Barbour Democrat.
