Former Recorder of Deeds Nath-

Of SeafOrd, were instrumental in or
ganizing the Georgetown club, and
played an important part in the pro-

The organization of Kiwanis
Club for Georgetown has been under
way since early last spring, but it
was not until this week that the Or

organized several years ago. With
both clubs working in unison, and
backing worthwhile projects, a bet
