The Kiwanis club of Ahoskie, N. C.,
pulled a “boner” when it withheld a
Cadillac car from the winner in its

held the lucky number. The affair
was so unwisely handled that it cre

within the membership of this inter
national organization but from all
parts of the country, and rightly so.
So strong was the criticism over the

akin to the dash the senators and'
house members made in Columbia I
recently when they swamped the
treasurer’s office to cash their “extra

wonder, from all reports, that some
of the members were not crushed or
killed in that stampede.
What congress has now done
should have been done long ago.
Why should the enlisted men be
discriminated against? Long ago the
commissioned officers were paid
their terminal leave time in cash

the service. That was unfair. All
should be treated alike.
