Kiwanis Convention
Drafts Proposals 10
Speed Defense
Clubs Urged to Sponsor
Flying Cadet Program
And Highway Safety
BY the Associated Press.

BY lne Associated PreSS.
ATLANTA, June 18.-Anxious to
aid national defense, Kiwanis Inter-
national gave consideration today to
several proposals in that direction.
One would have each Kiwanis
Club sponsor a group of 20 young
men for enlistment in the Army's
flying cadet training program. Rep
resentatives of the Aviation Cadet
Board outlined this plan to James
P. Neal, resolutions chairman, for
presentation to the more than 5000
delegates to the Kiwanis Interna-
tional Convention.
Maj John F. Guillett and 1t. c. j.
Weinmeister, the boards represent
atives, said it would be arranged for
each group to complete its aerial
training together.
Highway safety, the development
of spiritual values, care of UNDER
privileged children and better rela-
tions with Canada all were stressed
at the convention as having bear
ings on the defense movement.
A convention group planning
community wide safety programs
for the 2,025 Kiwanis towns in the
United States and Canada was told
that the traffic accident toll was
equal to many tons of enemy bombs.
Our country is engaged in an
all-out effort to defend itself" said
Ernest H. Matthias of Waterloo,
Iowa. ITO accomplish that goal, we
must first close every avenue Of
waste. The rising number of traffic
accidents - is causing confusion
