of altruistic service bring the
finer impulses to the fore.
Responsibility for the carrying
onl of the purposes of Kiwanis
rests upon the shoulders of every
member, and each one gladly as
sumes his portion. Kiwanis has
come down over the years with a
record of service to others that
cannot be beaten, and its history
is filled with accomplishments
and attachments through unselfish
giving of time, labor and self by
our members.
The basic fundamentals have
built a firm and strong founda-

VAST. INFLUENCE FOR GOOD
EXERTED BY KIWANIS, SAYS
GOVERNOR BARKER, RETIRING
High Purposes and Noble
Ideals Of 0rganiza-
ton Cited
By RALPH BARKER
Governor Carolinas District)

Kiwanis International is an or
ganization that spreads its ideals
and detectives over the United
States and the Dominion of Can
ada, through eighteen hundred
and sixty-two clubs, having a
membership of approximately SO,-
600 men. Only those who have
! been privileged to be members
! can realize it's accomplishments
and attainments and the ideals
that prompt inspiration for con-
/ tinuing the work so carefully
started many years ago.
Kiwanis is a service club, and
as such has given much time and
thought to lettering the condition
of the underprivileged child, and
has wrought great help to the
physically deformed, the mentally
unfortunate, and all other branch
es of underprivileged child work.
1t has endeavored to create a
more friendly understanding be-
tween the urban and suburban cit
izen, and to develop more intel
ligent, aggressive and serviceable
citizenship by precept and exam
Pile. Under boys and girls work
both our financial and moral sup
port has helped such organiza-
lions as the Boy Scouts, Camp
Fire Girls, All clubs and other
organizations as these.
Through such committees as
public affairs, we watch and dis
cuss the matters of Importance
which appear not only in our own
communities, but in the state and
nation. Business affairs commit
tees keep us advised of the many
changes that are occurring daily
in the commercial life of our
country, and the effect of such
changes.
We are vitality interested in the
emergency of the schools as it
exists, today, and we let no oppor-
tunity pass to work for better
ment. Encouraging the daily
living of the golden rule in all
human relationships is tied in
closely with another of those fine
detectives of International XII
wanis-"To give primacy to the
human and the spiritual rather
than to the material values of
life"
The outline above does not
bring to the reader more than a
portion of those fine detectives
that lead all Kiwanians to their
untiring interest in our great

"The fine fellowship that is
manifested in Kiwanis is most out
standing. l find that this organi-
cation has supplied vacancy in
my life here that has meant a
great deal to me. The instructive
programs along with the fellow
ship one day each week have
broadened my outlook on life.
This fellowship is not the only and
most important thing that l have
received from Kiwanis. I have re-
ceived a great deal of pleasure
and I am very much interested in
the underprivileged child work.
There is no work of mercy and
charity more heart-touching to me
than this and if this were the on
ly objective of Kiwanis I could
still enjoy the work and be good
Kiwanian." :

True lilies are seen entirely too
rarely in the average home garden,
according to Walter R. Ballard. horti-
culturist for the University of Mary
land Extension Service. He says the
average gardener is afraid to try this
particular variety of flower, believing
it to be too difficult and tempera-
mental, but that actually the more
common forms of lilies are no harder
to handle than many herbaceous per-
ennials. Good varieties for the ANA
teur to start with are the Madonna,
Regal and Tiger, it is stated.
Most lily varieties require adequate
drainage and this may be secured by
placing sand under and around the
bulb. In addition, the bulbs should
be provided with a good fertility in
the form of well-rotted manure and
bonemeal, thoroughly mixed with the
soil. The Canadian lily and few
other varieties require a moist or
boggy condition. However, even with
these varieties, where it is necessary
to have the water table accessible to
the root system, well-drained condi-
ton should exist around the bulb.
. Depth Of planting is largely de-
termined by the type Of lily. Stem
roofing types are placed from 3 to IL
inches below the surface, whereas nom
stemrooting forms are planted only
3 to inches below the surface. In
any case, most varieties of lilies prefer
TO have the base of the stem shaded by
the foliage of the plants, although they
should not be placed where they will

BEAMED CEILINGS MAKE
ROOMS SEEM LESS HIGH

Installation Of an attractive beamed
ceiling reduces the suggestion Of the
height in high-ceilinged rooms.
The size and location Of electric FIX
lures influences appearance, size and
ceiling height In a room. Small ceiling
and wall fixtures are preferable in
small rooms.
Picture holdings fastened to walls
where they Join the ceiling heighten
the wall effect, while, on the other
hand, low holdings decrease wall
height. Likewise, narrow baseboarCls
and other trim increase the appearance
Of wall height and size Of q room.
Wainscoting or broad panels IN a
paneled room tend to decrease the
appearance Of height Of walls, while
narrow panels or vertical sheating tend
to increase the appearance Of wall

FL. A. MORTGAGES.
SOUGHT BY STATES'
Bank Officials Seek to Es-
tabIish Insured Securities
in Portfolios.

Bank commissioners In "A States
have moved to establish Federal
Housing Administration insured mort
cages in State bank portfolios as Sc
curities of continuing return even in
the face of default, it was announced
here today by Robert M. Catharine,
deputy Federal housing administrator.
Some misunderstanding on the
part of approved lending institutions
over recent rulings by State banking
commissioners" he said, ION classi-
fication of mortgage loans insured by
the Federal Housing Administration,
needs clarification.
Banking departments in A OF the
4S States have issued instructions 10
bank examiners that mortgages in
sured under the national housing act
should not be considered slow, doubt
full or loss This classification, which
is the same as national bank ex-
arniners use under instructions from
the controller of the currency, is war
ranted because lending agencies are
assured a continuing return for the
use of their money invested In in
sured mortgages even though the bor-
rover may fail to meet his payments.
Typical of the action being taken
by the various banking departments
is this statement by Roy A. Haines,
bank commissioner of Kansas, in his
instructions to Kansas bank exam
iners: Because the insurance pro-
vided under the provisions of the ma
tional housing act for loans of this
type and because debentureS OF the
mutual mortgage insurance fund is
sued in exchange for property Secur-
ing MORTGAGES, which are insured prior
to July l, 1887, shall be fully guaran-
teed as to principal and interest by
the United States, you are instructed
not to classify such loans held by
State banks as slow, doubtful or loss,
provided in cases of default, the nee
essary steps have been taken to con-
tinue said insurance in effect. "
The four remaining States whose
banking departments have taken no
action are Georgia, Mississippi, Ken
lucky and Virginia. The latter three,
because their Legislatures have not
met since passage of the housing act,
have had no opportunity to amend
State laws to permit State banks to
make maximum loans of 80 per cent
allowed under the housing act. The
enabling legislation for Georgia was
vetoed In all four States, however,
national banks are making maximum
loans, while State banks and other
financial institutions under State con-
troll are making loans up to the maxi
mum permitted under the various
State laws.
