“Kiwanis derives its significance from those experiences which it sug gests and thdse ideals which it sym bolizes. It is more than a combination of letters. It is a force in business and community life. It means ser vice, cooperation, the alle£i§nce to the Golden Rule. It means friendship, brotherhood, and the ready response to the needs of little children. These and many more' things Kiwanis means. Like all of life’s more signifi cant relationships it derives the meas ure of its reward from the degree of investment made.”—Marion, Kansas. “When it is necessary for members to leave the meeting before it is over," writes Dan H. Cannon, secretary of the Salt Lake City club, “why not go to either the president or the secre tary before the meeting begins and so notify them that proper excuses may be made before the speaker starts.* In this way, Mr. Cannon suggests, the speaker of the day may be saved the embarrassment of seeing part of his audience walk out on him either just before he begins his address or while it is under way. “Men are kept apart by and through the failure of knowing each other. It is a pretty safe rule that acquaintance ripens into friendship; at least, it re sults in agreeableness. We are ruled too much by prejudice and our judg ment warped by lack of knowledge. We complain that men become self- centered, and as communities are but aggregations of men, it must naturally follow that communities also become the same. We cannot all live in the same community, the same country, or the same state, but we can all live in a state of friendship.”—Ogden, Utah. Business .Talks By Members The Burlington, New Jersey, secre tary writes that one of the best pro grams provided recently included five minute talks by members on the dif ferent business enterprises and pro fessions. It was so arranged that a manufacturer talked on farming, a dentist on real estate, the superinten dent of schools on the ministry, a | bucher on journalism, and a lawyer on | retail merchandising. This program proved interesting because it revealed to the entire club what interpretation various men placed on undertakings radically different from their own. BURNEY L.

Kiwanis (Continued from Page 10) upon understanding and mutual good will. Let us be strong among the strong, and may our wholesome friendship be a symbol of trust, an understanding that admits.of no jea- louses, no suspicions, and makes im possible destruction from animosities, or the solvent power of discord. If our nations will, throughout the illimitable years, keep the strings in a harmonious vibration, then some day j Time will run back and fetch the age •of gold. “Eternal Father, God of our fair lands, Two loyal nations lift their hearts to Thee, Before the world we dare to take Thy hand, Claiming Thy guidance to our destinies.” —(Borrowed.)
