FAGG OUTLINES SEVEN
K|WAN|S DETECTIVES

Although the founding objects
of Kiwanis have not changed, the
organizations detectives de
change from year to year tt
meet the shifting domestic anG
foreign scene, Merle Fagg OF
Billings told the club here
Wednesday evening at it's weekly
dinner meeting. To bring the
current detectives closer to the
club and thus to the community
it is dedicated to serve, he out
lined the seven points that were
adopted by the board on which
he sat and which were later ap-
proved for 1949 by Kiwanis In
ternational.
They sprang from the clubs
themselves. The duty of the re-
viewers was that of sitting, con-
densing and selecting from the
wealth of suggestions offered by
the organizations best minds in
the states and provinces of North
America.
Fagg, prominent in Kiwanis
circles, is past president of the
club in Billings, past governor of
the district comprising Montana,
and is now a member of the in
t~ernational board of trustees.
Although the speaker was di-
rectly introduced by H. Lee
Hamlet, Laurel general program
chairman for the year, the sub
ject he spoke on was earlier
preached by Pres. j. Willard
Baldwin when he told of the
value of the state meeting he
and Neil Baker, now secretary,
attended in Great Falls in De-
cember near the end of the XII
wants year that comedies with
the calendar year.
The points, illuminated with
brief explanatory remarks, we're
listed by Fagg as:
(1) Aggressive citizenship is
an individual responsibility. This
is at variance with the state
above-individual idea repugnant
tc democracies. Involved is re-
enforcement of home, church and
which is "the heart of
the American way of life" By
strengthening one the others are
also strengthened; when all are
strengthened the total result APP
breaches impregnability. Kiwan-
emphasizes the spiritual
