(PHYSICIAN.) OUR TWELFTH ANNIVERSARY As we reach each milestone oh life’s highway, whether it be in the life of an individual or an organization, it is customary to pause and review the pathway already traveled. In Kiwanis this year we look back over a span of twelve years to the City of Detroit, Michigan, where a small group of men organized the first Kiwanis club on January 21, 1915. Our growth for the first few years was small. We had not then learned to walk or to talk, nor had we learned the way we wanted to go. Through our j adolescent period those who proffered their help in guiding us had many ideas, conflicting each with the other in many particulars. Fortunately we listened to those who had vision, and within a few years after our birth we had accepted as our ideals and aspira tions those which have given us a place of leadership in sixteen hundred communities in the United States and Canada. We have actually put into practice our altruistic policies and our high ideals. We have exemplified the daily living of the Golden Rule, the forming of enduring friendships, the building of better communities, and the render ing of high service. We have carried into action a movement looking to a more intelligent, aggressive and ser viceable citizenship, a more universal exercise of the franchise. We are building a constructive work for the under-privileged child, a better rela tionship between the farmer and the city man, a practical program of vo cational guidance and placement, a highe: standard of ethics in business and professional life, and a sound and sane public opinion on all matters of national and international import. We fully realize that at the age of twelve we have just begun the task before us. We are not unmindful of our responsibilities and of our oppor tunities. We are fully conscious of the fact that the estate which every Amer ican inherits he holds in trust and that the major portion of our activities lie ahead. We shall always keep before us that memorable statement of Abra ham Lincoln, “The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what we did here.” As Kiwanians, we therefore dedi cate ourselves to action. We renew our pledge to the future generation to carry forward in a practical way the high ideals and the great objectives set forth by those who worked and sacri ficed for the upbuilding of that great organization of service—Kiwanis. On Honor Roll For Perfect Attendance A Kiwanian gets out of the club just what he puts into it. For this reason attendance is emphasized in the organization. While the club’s at tendance is on an average with many other clubs, there are two Kiwanians who have a perfect record thus far this year: LARRY DILLARD GILBERT BLAKELY Cliff Killen, another mighty good fellow who is a citizen of Clinton by adoption, came a close third with only one absence to his credit. Cliff was out of town for one of the meetings and that alone counts for the omis sion of his name from the 100 per cent honor roll. He made a special ef fort at the time, as all Kiwanians should do, to attend a club elsewhere to keep his record perfect, but it was impossible to do so on account of con flicting dates. So all the boys say hats off to Cliff and the other two 100 per cent Kiwanians. They are setting an excellent attendance example for all members who wear the Kiwanis but ton. “Buy Where The Better Buyers Buy” Our Quality, High Grade * ' Our Prices, Right Our Service, the Best Joanna Mercantile Co. Goldville, S. C. Kiwanian Gary Dillard At the stroke of twelve years, Ki wanis, an organization of over one hundred thousand outstanding men in the United States and Canada, stops for the moment to survey its past and contemplate its future. We are wont to express every worth while thing or movement in terms of value. The term, however, is relative. The little girl of the mountain country who went into a store and asked for an egg’s worth of ginger, measured the value of that commodity in terms of the egg. ' - • Most values are expressed in the terms of money, but those of a great civic organization like Kiwanis may be expressed in four words, whose initial letters have the sound of K—co-opera tion, construction, contact and conti nuity. When one comes into Kiwanis, he adapts himself wholeheartedly to an environment of co-operative helpful ness and friendly association. Not on ly do we co-operate wit|i jpach other, but with other clubs and organiidtiofis in wide movements for the public good. The letters of our name, Ki wanis, are the initial ones of the words, Kiwanis is working as neigh bors in service. To do what? To con struct, to build. How? Through con tact, ond with continuity. K, the first letter in Kiwanis, is rep resented in the Phoenician alphabet by a partly open hand, a symbol of friend ship and the builder. From the dawn of history, tribes, clans and nations have been builders, but all too few have wrought unselfishly and con structively for human progress. The Egyptians built the pyramids—mar- j velous feats of engineering skill—but j they were to entomb the dead, and they exerted no influence for good , throughout the world. Our forefath ers, however, built wisely when they constructed the constitutional frame work of this great nation out of their patriotism, wisdom and experience, I stating its purpose to be “to form a I more perfect union, to establish jus tice, insure domestic tranqqilUy, pro- I vide for the common defense and pro mote the general welfare.” In each community where it has .been established, a Kiwanis club brings together for fellowship and service a group of men who represent the high est type of citizenship. Each man, skilled in his own line, brings to the Kiwanis club an aptitude and enthu siasm, which, when infused with that of the other members, makes Kiwanis a powerful factor for good in that community. Upon the Kiwanis dial are ! represented all legitimate lines of bus- | iness and the professions, and whose members stand ready to translate their j experience and ability into waves of 1 service. Kiwanis may be likened to a giant transformer which is converting our alternating business and other in terests into the direct currents of con structive helpfulness. We have always promoted patriot ism, for the love of country lies deep in the heart of Kiwanis. Back of our flag stands a great nation, first of thirtten and now of forty-eight states, represented by the stars in the field of blue. And when I see its stripes flutter in the breeze, I like to think of them as great radio waves which are | broadcasting to the world the light of liberty, education and intelligence gen erated by the forty-eight stars which represent the conjmontvealths that make up the union. And while we love our country, and our own flag, Kiwanis has always i sought to promote the most friendly | relations with that great country on ; the north, the Dominion of Canada, where we have so many splendid clubs 7Each anniversary in Kiwanis, there- I fore, means that our relations with j Canada have become liiore cordial | through the waves of friendly contact , and understanding which the clubs of both nations have generated. A world in tune is a world at peace. Kiwanis reduces the static of discord by tuning out the strains of selfishness , and misunderstanding. If there is no I misunderstanding between the Kiwan 1! is clubs of the United States and Can ada, there need never be any between the two governments. In Proverbs, we are admonished, j“Get wisdom, and with thy getting, get understanding.” As a Kiwanis club brings into its membership represen tatives of different creeds and voca tions, it creates a composite opinion that makes for understanding. A college president recently told me that Kiwanis had brought about a bet ter understanding between the univer sity and the town. Many a fog of mis understanding has been dissipated through the friendly co-operation of a Ki wanis club having adherents of both sides in its membership. I like to divide Kiwanis into inven tive Kiwanis and applied Kiwanis. In ventive Kiwanis is the conception of the best plans and methods of achiev ing our great objectives. It is the de velopment of the group brain. Applied Kiwanis is the application of these principles to specific cases, and the ex-' pression of the group heart. We must not only have inventive Kiwanis, which is the planning, but applied Kiwanis, which is the carrying of those plans into effect. When Kiwanis turns the dial, out go the golden waves of fine fellowship and beautiful service! —' 1 1 1 I 1 1 A E E E EJ Our ready-to-wear and millinery buyers have just returned from the Northern markets where they have been spending the past ten days lining up and buying new fall merchandise for every department of our store.
