WOMAN’S CLUB HOLDS MEETING On Monday afternoon the Woman’s club held an unusually interesting meeting under the leadership of Mrs. John W. Little. Many important mat ters were discussed. The constitution was read and adopted. Captain Mull of the Salvation Army made an appeal to the t club r for help in undertaking charity work in many different phases in Laurens county. Clinton has al ways supported these drives, but the money raised heretofore has gone to Spartanburg county. The club hear tily endorsed Captain Mull’s under taking and the*executive committee will decide the amount that can be given for this work. Mrs. John Norris was elected as au ditor and Mrs. Wilson Harris as sec retary. • Mrs. Frank Boland proposed “vanishing parites” as a most delight ful and effective means of raising money. The president invites seven guests to her home. The guests bring twenty-five cents. Only light refresh- We had several guests at Kiwanis Thursday who represented educational interests. Larry Dillard was in the chair and presided. Miss Ethel Kil- len was at the piano. The attendance was almost one hundred per cent and the real Kiwanis spirit permeated the air. Gilbert Blakely, the secretary,, reported a gain in attendance over last month, and this was good news to the boys. Every member of the club is urged to* be -present at every meet ing, and it has long since been dis covered that the mote a fellow attends, the more he enjoys it. Such members as Braxton King, Lee Young, Butler Boyd, Ross Lynn and many others, set an example by never being absent. The fellows who have poor attendance records need to catch the spirit of Ki wanis. The club had three distinguished guests, Dr. Shelton Phelps, director of instruction, George Peabody college, Nashville; Dr. Joseph Roemer, profes sor of secondary education, Univer sity of Florid's; and Dr. James Ross McCain, president of Agnes Scott col lege. These distinguished educators were introduced by Kiwanian A. E. Spencer and they responded with short happy talks that were well received. Dr. Dudley Jones of the Presbyterian college faculty, also made a short talk and he is always cordially received and heard with interest by the club. W. E. Neighbors, local groceryman, was the guest of Allie Milling, and likewise the glad hand was extended to him. Billy Hoy was congratulated by the cluJk upon the honor he has attained in being elected to the presidency of the South Carolina Academy of Sci ence at its annual meeting held last week in Greenville. Under a new classification list distributed to the members, “Billy” is listed as “a stu- •rient of bugs and college boys,” head- | ing as he does, the department of bio- 5 logy at P. C. The Classification list I likewise brought, out that Joe Bailey 1 is a dealer in “dry” goods, not “wet” goods, and that Braxton King knows how to dress a “chicken” well. \ The club expects to have represen tation at the International Kiwanis convention to be held in Memphis in June. . Two delegates from each of the 1,645 Kiwanis clubs in the United States and Canada, together with two thousand visitors, will bring over five thousand guests to Memphis for the 11th annual convention of Kiwanis International, June 6-9. The Memphis auditorium, which has been the meeting place of the SQuth’s largest conventions, will be used for the Kiwanis sessions. The broadcasting of “All Kiwanis Night” oh Monday evening, June 6, from Memphis will be an international event. All clubs on the North Amer ican continent will meet in their re spective cities at the same time as the opening session of the convention in Memphis. This simultaneous oc casion will be for the expression of the united good will and friendship existing between the United States and Canada for over a hundred years. The convention program is also be ing arranged to include features of the Old South. “Memphis Night” will depict for the Kiwanian visitors the scenes of the southland many years ago.
