KIWANIS CLUB CELEBRATES ITS 25TH
ANNIVERSARY WITH SPECIAL PROGRAM

TWenty-fifth anniversary of the
Marysville Kiwanis Club was
celebrated Monday night in the
Dinner Bell restaurant, with 125
Kiwanians from Marysville, Della
ware, Massillon, Columbus, Gov
ington and other CITIES present.
The occasion was an enjoyable
and memorable one for the local
service club. Several members OF
the Marysville Club who have
since moved away were her fol
it, and among these was Bernard
(Bernie) Anderson whose singing
and song leading was one of the
high-lights of the evening.
Principal speaker was DR.. Cliff
ord S. Palmer, a member of the
Massillon KiWaniS Club and noted
surgeon. His talk was strictly
about KiWaniS as he traced the
history and growth of the group
and told in inspirational manner
the things for which Kiwanis
stands.
Started in Detroit
KiWanis, he related, was or
ganized in Detroit in 1914 by one
Allen S. Browne, professional
organizer for fraternal groups
who started the club for his own
personal gain. First started as 6
fraternal group, its members, over
Brownies o b je tions, shortly
changed themselves into a service
club.
In 1915, Kiwanis began expand
ing, as Browne organized clubs in
Cleveland and PittSburg, then
other cities throughout the middle
west. 1t was 1919 before KiwaniS
completely rid itself of Mr.
Browne and his quest for finan-
cial gain Gas sole organizer he
got SIS for each new member en-.

TRACTS,
In 1924, the new constitution o1
Kiwanis was adopted at the In
ternational convention in Denver
with the six primary objects OF
the group. Since that time, XII
wants growth has been rapid
with 2700 clubs in the country
today. In Ohio, there are l54 clubs
and 10000 members.
Wilkins Traces Local History
Baskbone of the local Kiwanis
club is personal service and com
mittee work, DR.. Palmer pointed
out, urging all members of the
clubs to take an active role ir
club affairs. THE KiWanian who
has no job to do within the clut
quickly loses interest and is o1
no value to the organization" he
added.
History of the Marysville clut
was traced by Lee Wilkins, its
oldest president, and his remarks
were thoroughly enjoyed. Mr.
Wilkins composed several verses
to illustrate bits of club history
which were cleverly worked into
