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.

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! —'
