Hatton of Wichita, Kans., was elected to the Presidency of Lions International in the final session of the Lions Convention which closed here yesterday. Mr. Hatton is President of the Peoples Finance Company of Wich ita and holds office in several other large corporations in Wichita. He attended school at Southwestern College and the University of Colo rado, afterwards going abroad to Study at Sarbonne University in Paris. » As chief executive of the 2650 Lions clubs throughout five coun tries, Hatton states that “Lionism will make no departure at this timo from its established policy of mak ing haste slowly in over-seas ex pansion. However,” he continued, “there will be no ‘marking time’ un til economic conditions get better. We look forward confidently to the time when Lionism will be estab lished in every city and town in this continent that desires to build a better citizenship and a better com munity in which to live.” “It is a question whether any as sociation of any kind has ever equalled the records of the 17,050 activities carried on last year by our 2650 clubs or has exercised an in fluence which has been so far reaching.” Probably the greatest service Hatton has rendered the Lions As sociation and the country as well is the outstanding work he has done in promoting the adoption of the “Moral Code For Youth” in most of the school rooms throughout the country. Mr. Hattoii was also res ponsible for the compilation of three text books known as “Studios in Conduct” to be used for supple mentary study in connection with the “Moral Codes For Youth.” The first book in this series of studies was designed for the primary grades, the second for the inter mediate grades, and the last for the 7th and 8th grades. Hatton him self feels that this is one of the best pieces of work in which he haa ever had the privilege to partici- pate, Mr. Hatton is a past master of the largest Masonic lodge in Kansas and a member of the Midian Shrine. As manager of the Good Govern ment Club of Wichita, Charles Hat ton became one of Wichita’s favor ite sons by improving local govern ment and promoting civic improve ment, while with the Lions Associa tion Hatton became a favorite in 1927 when he was elected a director, of the association at the Miami Convention. Since that time he has served in all capacities of the official group of the association un til his election here today to the highest position in the Internation al Association.
