KIWANIS OFFICERS REDEDICATE CLUB TO
SERVICE OF COMMUNITY IN EFFORTS TO
DEVELOP CO-OPERATIVE CITIZENSHIP

The Hendersonville Kiwanis
President--1934
Club fully appreciates the loyal
support which the citizens of Hen-
dersonville and Henderson county
have given it in the projects it has
undertaken during the past year,
and takes this opportunity to ex-
tend a word of greeting to our
citizens at large and to wish that
this may be a good year for all
our people. Our club in this spe-
cial issue is rededicating itself to
the service of this community
and accepts fully the responsibil-
ity it assumes in its effort to cre-
ate and develop a better citizen-
ship, a fuller understanding and a
spirit of co-operation so essential
for the enlargement of our com-
munity life.
It is hoped our fifty members
have caught a new vision of en-
larged service to the underprivi-
leged, to the boys and girls, and

a new civic consciousness that

will help us to want to think clear-
ly, study carefully and lend them-
selves to the exigencies of the
emergencies that arise in these
trying times. Thus may we real-
ize those ideals of Kiwanis that
stand for the increase of sound
public opinion, a more generous
understanding of mutual problems
and greater service to humanity.

Hendersonville Kiwanis Club
SIX IN NUMBER
Membership of 80,000 Is
Distributed Among
1862 Clubs

Kiwanis is one of the service
clubs of this country which is en-
deavoring to accept the responsi-
bilities which the changing times
have thrust upon it and from a
small beginning in Detroit in
1915, when the first club was or-
ganized, it has grown to cover
the United States and Canada and
today has a membership of 80,-
000 men in 1,862 clubs. Only two
members are accepted in a local
club from any one line of busi-
ness or profession, and each mem-
ber must be the owner of his busi-
ness or an executive. He must
attend at least 60 per cent of the
meetings and if absent con-
secutive times, is dropped from
the rolls.
This organization consists of lo-
cal clubs, groups of eight or ten
clubs, known as divisions and then
state or sectional groups called
districts, and then Kiwanis Inter-
national with headquarters in Chi-
cago.
The objectives of Kiwanis are:
To give primacy to the hu-
man and spiritual, rather than
to the material values of life.
To encourage the daily living
of the Golden Rule in all hu-
man relationships.
To promote the adoption and
the application of higher social,
business and professional stand-
ards.
To develop, by precept and

Dear Friend:
Record.
My eyes are good now. I was
glad I could have glasses. I
want my buddy to see too. If I
can get two dollars for my calf
can you help him get glasses too?
Your friend,

wanis club.)
Dear Mr.
I thank you for sending me to
camp. We are having a good time.
We get up early, study, play ball,
and at night even have to say our
prayers. Mr. Woodman sure is a
fine man. We get lots of good
things to eat. All of us must write
letters home and I want to thank
you.
Yours truly,

Dear Sirs:
I thank you very much for the
shoes and stockings you gave me.
They keep my feet warm and dry.
I couldn't have come to school if
you had not bought them, for
Daddy can't get any work to do.
Your friend,

DR. L. B. McDONALD:
"As a member of only a few
weeks, Kiwanis has been to me a
very pleasing, surprising, enlight-
enment of Kiwanis ideals and Ki-
wanis activities."

ped the heart of its members and been felt as a factor for good throughout the nation and Canada. Legion are those children made whole, legs been made whose crippled bodies have been straight, eyes made to see, lungs made whole, visions enlarged, handled through the activities of Kiwanis members and its committees. The heart of many a man has been softened and life made sweeter to him as he has entered into this kind of service and learned to assume some of the cares of the unfortunate and to aid the suffering.

Better citizenship is being stressed by Kiwanis during these last trying years and a great awakening on the part of the business and professional men of the country being more insistently emphasized than ever before. A true understanding and fuller sense of the individual responsibility is being stressed throughout Kiwanis to the end that its membership may be able to think clearly and see straight amidst the confusion of the times.

A better understanding between the city and country people has been an objective of Kiwanis for several years and this is being realized very largely. Who can say but that Kiwanis has helped materially in the very great change that has taken place in recent years in this respect? Mutual co-operation and understanding has resulted in better local markets, better county schools and better county roads.

The fellowship of the club makes possible the forming of enduring friendships and adds personal joy to the active business and professional man, but even better still the opportunity thus furnished men to become acquainted personally and intimately as they sit around the table fifty-two times a year, gives opportunity for the members to come to a fuller and more generous understanding of the common problems of his fellow citizens that suspicion and doubt may cease and a spirit of co-operation and helpfulness take its place in the hearts of men.

One of the outstanding objectives of the Carolinas district for the past two years has been the maintenance of adequate school facilities for our children. Its district officers have labored much over the crises confronting the educational system in the Carolinas, both as to the facilities and the curriculum, and co-operated fully with other civic organizations to the end that the youth of the day may enjoy its rightful opportunities.

DR. E. M. SALLEY:
"The fine fellowship that is manifested in Kiwanis is most outstanding. I find that this organization has supplied a vacancy in my life here that has meant a great deal to me. The instructive programs along with the fellowship one day each week have broadened my outlook on life.

This fellowship is not the only and most important thing that I have received from Kiwanis. I have received a great deal of pleasure and I am very much interested in the underprivileged child work. There is no work of mercy and charity more heart-touching to me than this and if this were the only objective of Kiwanis I could still enjoy the work and be a good Kiwanian."

G. M. FLANAGAN:
"Kiwanis to me means friendship. The association and fellowship with the other members of my own club and other clubs which I have had the pleasure of visiting has been the foundation of true friendships. I consider it not only an honor but a privilege to be a member of an organization which is founded upon such high principles and ideals as Kiwanis."

BROOKSHIRE SINCLAIR:
"Kiwanis has been a practical demonstration of that divine edict 'Love thy neighbor as thyself'; a refutation of the cynic's boast that the attainment of the material values of life is the all important ambition of our age; a group movement dedicated to the ideal of Him who said, 'As oft as ye do it unto one of the least of these, my brethren, ye do it unto me.' To me this is Kiwanis."

DR. J. S. BROWN:
"I could state many reasons why I am a Kiwanian, but I will say, to meet once a week with your fellowmen strengthens the link of friendship and affords a greater opportunity to promote the daily living of the golden rule in all human relationships."

NORMAN W. MILLER:
"One of the worthwhile things in life is friendship, and Kiwanis is a medium through which real friendships are formed, not only local, but wherever Kiwanis is. A Kiwanian is never a stranger in a town where there is a Kiwanis club. Through a Kiwanis club, composed of real live members, a lot of good can be done in a community, whereas an individual could not do so much. In unity there is strength."

A. F. BARBER:
"Kiwanis has given me a contact with men who otherwise would not have meant more to me than friendly acquaintances and has taught me to call them by their given names. It has also given me the opportunity to work with my fellows in a way that no other organization has quite measured up to. It has shown me the way to size up myself and others as to personal selfishness and generosity."
