HENRY H0GUE
 TALKS BEFORE
 KIWAkIS MEET

Henry J. Hogue, manager of KINY, spoke on What Kiwanis Can Do For the Community" be- fore members of that club at its regular luncheon meeting this noon in the Baranof Gold Room.
 Tn my opinion the most impor- tant thing this club can do toward general community service is to maintain it's present excellent slate of charter members" MT. Hogue said. With a unified group work ing together month after month in natural enthusiasm and interest stemming from charter membership there is no goal too high to be at tained"
 MT. Hogue said too often a clubs original membership drops away as time progresses and the spark of enthusiasm is lost.
 Secondly, MT. Hogue urged the month-old chapter to pattern its rules and regulations to the needs and life of it's community rather than attempt to stick too closely to laws laid down by national head quarters. This, he said, could be arranged through special work handed over to committee members
 A former Kiwanian in the States MT. Hogue said he was glad to see the organization finally established in Juneau. He suggested a close cooperation with the aims and ob- jectives of other clubs in town.
 Tt would be an ideal arrange ment if all the service clubs here could get together-invite represen- tatives to meetings and return such calls, etc.
 The speaker added that actually all service clubs had basically the same Objectives-service to the com munity. He mentioned the Mem crial Library project as a perfect example of what can be accom- plished when a group of organiza- jions unite toward a single purpose.
 The Memorial Library is not being sponsored by Rotary, Chamber of Commerce, Business and Profession al Women's Club, Kiwanis, Elks, or any other organization-but by all Juneau residents working together. And that is the way it should be-"
 Kiwanis President Kenneth Mac Laod announced that three commit tee heads, the Rev. Jim ConWell, Oscar F. Harrison and Dr. Henry c. Harris would be responsible for bringing in tangible suggestions for service work" next Wednesday at the regular meeting.
 At that time questionnaires re- gently distributed among members will also be returned. These ques- tionnaires will include suggestions for the years work.
 President Macleod also annomc- ed that Edward B. Shaffer had been appointed to represent the Kiwanis on the Mayors three-man City Planning committee meeting.
 Dr Howard H. Fischer, recently returned from Anchorage, gave report on his visit to the Kiwanis Club of Anchorage.
 Kenneth E. Vuille led series of songs and at the close of the meeting was appointed official song leader" for the club Miss Dorianne Barnes accompanied at the piano.

The exhibit, featur- ing seven sections, will be open to the public until 9:30 tonight.
 The deep, vivid colors of fall flow CTS combined with the brilliant reds, greens, and yellow of vegetables and fruits displayed on long tables spread across the entire width and along the walls of the large auditorium created as inspiring and colorful panan- orama as has been seen in this city in many years. Above the brilliant canvas, Old Glory hovered, waving gently in the breeze.
 Mayor John S. Monagan opening the show commented upon the qual- ity of the display, adding he hoped that the Waterbury Garden Club would continue to sponsor harvest shows.

 Grand sweepstake winners were Barwall Dahlia Gardens of Dan bury, first; Mrs. John A. Coe, sec- ond; Mrs. George Angle, third, and Willard Squires, Naugatuck, fourth.
 Judges included Warren Crockett of the New Haven Experimental Station; fruits, E. M. Stoddard, also of the New Haven Experimental Stations; annuals and potted plants, Alex Cumming of the Bristol Nur- series; gladiolis, Dr. Warren Stew ems; dahlia, Walter Hardisty and Andrew Bell; flower arrangements, Mrs. Ellen Carder of Cheshire and Mrs. Robert Latin of Hamden, and canning, Miss Margaret Chagnot, Connecticut Light & Power Con- pany.
