K|WAN|S MEMBERS TO
GO TO M|SS0ULA MEET

The regular Wednesday evening
session of the local Kiwanis club
at the Board of Trade cafe was
called to order by W. A. Zieglert
president. Ziegler in his opening
remarks stressed the Importance OF
the charter night banquet to be
held in the local gymnasium at 6:45
p. m. July %. He said it would
not be a formal gathering and that
local Kiwanians void be permitted to
bring guests.
j. w. Baldwin, program chairman,
told a couple of anecdotes concern
ing his recent disqualification, then
introduced the speaker of the eve
ming, John Keefe. Keefe, a charter
member of the Billings Kiwanis club
since 1920, recently returned from
Chicago where he attended his thir-
teenth international convention. He
spoke on the purpose and activities
of the convention.
Over 10000 Kiwanians registered
for the convention and of this num-
Der, $500 were delegates from 1850
clubs in Canada, Alaska, Ha-
wall, Yukon and the United States.
This was the first convention attend
ed by members from the Yukon,
Hawaii and Alaska. The sessions
were held in the Medinah temple,
an auditorium having a seating a
pacity of 5000.
Keefe said that one of the most
forceful speeches was given by DR..
Norman V. Peale, prominent for his
''The Art of Living" NBC radio
program. DR.. Peale was the speak
err at a Sunday session held in mem
Orium for Jay N. Emerson, interna-
tional president, who died shortly
before the convention. In his
speech, "The Art of Living in the
Postwar World" DR.. Peale stressed
the fact that people of communities,
nations and the world must think
positively rather than negatively if
they hope for world betterment as
we'll as self betterment.
For the second or third time, the
Billings club received first honorable
mention of all U. S. clubs having
over 100 members. The award was
received by the resident of the Bill
lings club who was n of the 81
Billings people attending and one
of the three official delegates from
Billings.
Various constructive amendments
and resolutions were voted and
unanimously. Noteworthy
among the resolutions was the posi-
tive stand taken against anti-demo-
cratic forms of government and the
stand taken in favor of universal
military training.
In closing, Keefe suggested that
the Laurel group begin considering
plans to send delegates to the next
convention to be held in Los
Angeles, Aug. "a, 25 and 26.
j. W. Baldwin made a motion,
seconded by Charles Giblin that the
president, vice-president and secre-
tary attend the Missoula conven-
ton next month at club expense.
The motion was put to vote by
Ziegler and approved by the group.

L ERE is a special event that we have been planning for months
! ! We've secured all the major markets in the country just to bring
you the greatest blanket values you've seen for many years. We
made our purchases many months ago, getting lower prices from the
manufacturers than is now possible. There have been advances in
price in the meantime, but we're passing these savings on to you,
as well as the savings you can make by buying at this time. A small
payment will hold any blanket until you wish to take it out.

WASHINGTON-One of the great things about the American people is the way they rise to emergencies especially to emergencies requlr- ing generosity. If the people of Europe fully understood this fact, I am sure there never would be real danger of war in the future.
 A friend of mine returning from Europe the other day said he was impressed by the hustle and mater ialistic drive of the USA and made the criticism that we were engross- ed only in the business of making money. I think that I shall send that friend copies of several hun dred letters I have received from all sorts of people, high and low regarding the idea of a Friendship Train" to collect food from the heart of America as token of friendship to the people of Western Europe.
 They are wonderful, heart-warm- ing letters, the kind that make you proud to be an American, the kind that remind you once again that in a democracy the people are ahead of their Government. Tn fact, these letters are so fine that they should not be read merely by me, but by millions. To that end, am printing parts of them below as an inspir-
