kiWanis International Activity Record Shows Varied Participation

The KiWanis Club of Palmer was one of 4200 KiWanis clubs Throughout the United States and Canada which, during 1855, turn ed in their greatest record of community service. This state ment was made by James Wilson, president of the local club in an noIncing release of final 1855 activity figures from the general office of Kiwanis International in Chicago.
 George CIowther, past presi- dent of the local KiWanis club, will attend the KiWanis Inter national Convention to be held an San Francisco June 17-2l as representative of the Palmer club.
 Last year, Kiwanians who channel the greater part of their energy into eight community service fields, participated in act 1vities ranging from the purchase of an artificial eye for an under privileged child to attracting a new industry to a hard-up com xnunity. The eight fields are: Ag- Ticulture and conservation; pub Iic and business affairs, support of churches in their spiritual aims; boys and girls work; Key Clubs; Circle K Clubs; under privileged child; and vocational guidance.
 Though fund raising is mi nor part of their operation they collected $5,844,37181 in 1855 aUfich contributed to youth ser vices of various kinds. They raised $4,296,3 ,3o0.60 for hospitals and hospital facilities; they con aributed $1,508, l212 20 to neady churches; and they distributed @S243, ,046.97 to deserving students through scholarship loans.
 Since Kiwanis has been active 4n agricultural affairs from the start, its members emphasize work with farmers. Last year they entertained 319,053 farm <ers at Joint city-country affairs KiWanis International acted as Seoordinating agency for Fann- City Week, an affair aimed at bringing about better under standing between the rural and urban segments of society" In ss--rban affairs, KiWanians were equally active.

 Kiwanis Kids Day, now in it's eighth consecutive year, is a day devoted to the youngsters Of the United States and Canada.
 Other annual observances of KiWanis International receive equal attention from the organi- zation and are equally far-reach- ing in their impact on the peoples of he United States and Canada.

present, combined checks will be
issued only as newly eligible wives
receive their first payments, OF
where the couples benefits had
been stopped and are being re-

ing husbands and wives by CON-
bined checks will be extended to
more couples receiving monthly
retirement checks as soon as
possible.
The Social Security Admins
tration has combined benefit pay
ments to children living in the
same household into a single check
since 1851. The procedure has re-
suited in considerable savings. By
combining husband-wife payments
into a single check, the Govern
ment will further cut expenses in
issuing checks as we'll as relieving
the mailing problem for the Post
Office Department.
Cashing a single government

couples. Besides, if they've been

they will now have to pay only

this announcement today.
Retired workers wives, who
have filed claims since September,
will have their wives benefit
amounts combined with their hus-
bands old age retirement checks
where they are living at the same

Cleveland Community Chest Rec
Feather agencies served 15,527
Euclid area residents during the
past year, according to a study re-
Gently completed by the Research
Department Of the Cleveland Vel
fare Federation.
In the study, the services Of the
Chests 125 agencies were broken
down into four classifications
Group Work and Recreation, Health
and Rehabilitation, Casework for
Adults and Children, and a miscel-
laneous category.
Group Work and Recreation clas-
sification posted the largest number
Of Euclid area names. The report
showed that 1892 local people used
the services of the Young Mems
Christian Association, and 1880
boys were active in the Boy Scouts.
Euclid women also figured prom
inently in the Group Work category.
The Young Women's Christian AS
sociation has 814 women on their
membership scrolls, while 1927
young girls filled the ranks Of the
Girl Scouts.
Euclid's Campfire Girls numbered
S21 and 49 local people were stu
dents at Music School Settlement
House. Nine persons took part in
the group work at Karamu House.
All are Red Feather agencies.
Under the Health and Rehabilita-
tion classification, 298 persons were
treated by workers in the Visiting
Nurse Association. OF those Euclid
residents that have . speech or
hearing handicap, 113 were treated
at 4 Hearing and Speech Center.
During 1866, So Of Euclid's blind
were served by the Society for the
Blind and 35 new people utilized
the services Of the Rehabilitation
Center.
According to the study, TT Euclid
area families would have had to
live from day to day with unneces-
ssry and undesirable problems if it
were not for the work of a family
service agency. Sixty-one young
people found guidance at a youth
serving casework agency, and 79 of
the areas children used the services
Of a children's casework agency.
These are only few Of the listings
under this category.
The study's miscellaneous cate
CORY was filled with two and three
numeral figures on Euclid residents.
For example, 176 local people were
helped with their legal problems by
the Legal Aid Society. AS for peo-
pie who are not quite sure what job
they are best suited for, SO found
guidance at the Vocational Guidance
Bureau. Nationalities Services
helped 25 Of this areas residents.
These are only q few Of the many
items listed in this study. Cleveland
Community Chest is again endeav-
oring to raise funds to continue
these vital services. The annual Red
Feather appeal this year starts Oc-
tober Is and continues through the
25th. A challenging goal of 1884,
900 has been set, and this figure
represents only the minimum
amount needed to continue Chest

ices in Greater Cleveland.

 When asked why this particular time of the year was chosen His Excellency, Bishop Francis D. Glea- son said that it was appropriate, just at the beginning of another school year, to impress people with the thought that they must ask the guidance of God both for the fam lilies and for the teacher; that a peaceful family is one wherein the seeds of knowledge are best im- planted.
 Consequently he has urged that people attend as family groups Since the military men of Ladd and Eielson Air Bases will be talk ing part in the program. they are asked to attend in small groups. He sincerely hopes that the motto will come true: That a world at prayer will be world at peace"

 Fredericksen also had note for Fairbanks anglers. He said that since the rain the best fishing in the nearby area was at Delta Clear Water. Tangle Lakes and the Pax son Lake areas. These spots were not affected appreciably by the heavy rainfall. Most of the other streams were so heavily muddied that good fishing will not be pos- sible for about two to three weeks. he added.

Enterprising Engineer And Wife Have Farm

sary to the running of a home these days
 The hens, which will be feeding on the barley now ripening in the newly-eleared fields, and the oats that will soon be harvested, are laying a month early and producing 100 eggs day, capacity which will increase sharply in the next few weeks.
 The Wendts market their eggs through the Matanuska Farmers Coop. They have had numerous markets to market them directly to consumers but find that they do not have the time.
 The three oldest children are a great help to their parents around the ranch Mrs Wendt even found time to have flower garden the first year on the ranch.
 Local experts marvel at the clean, full crop of grain that Wendt has raised this year, the first after clearing the land. He has adequate equipment for the work including a bull-dozer for the clearing job.
 One of the factors that may ac- count for his big first-year yield is that the ground was cleared of a stand of mixed birch and spruce, with the birch furnishing a great deal of vegetable matter for the soil over period of decades that 1t took to grow the fairly large stand.
 A yellow wind sock pokes up out of the south oat field along the road and as soon as the grain is in he will be landing his plane virtually in front of his home
 Besides the grain under cultiva- ton Wendt has purchased the Rich ardson place and has Is acres of potatoes.
 Sunday he flew down the Alaska highway in an attempt to spot his wife's brother, John Nestlebush and wife and son who are on their way to Fairbanks from Gray Eagle. Min nesota, to make their home.
 II is astounding that the couple has created so much in so short a time. They started last July, had their land clearing project under way and by the time snow came last fall had their home closed in They moved in this past March.
