GAVEL GIVEN LOCAL CLUB BY MILL CITY MEN
Best Wishes Also Sent to Bismarck Kiwanis by Minneapolis Organization

Minneapolis Kiwanis, in greeting to the Bismarck organization, sends also a gavel to be used by the chairman at future meetings.

Best wishes to the Kiwanis club is contained in a letter sent by L. A. Baker, secretary of the Kiwanis club of the Mill City, as follows:

Mr. Scott Cameron
President Kiwanis Club,
Bismarck, North Dakota.

My dear Sir:

This club has been notified that your club will receive its charter on Monday evening, October the 8th, 1923.

I wish to extend greetings from the Minneapolis Kiwanis Club to all of your membership, individual and collective. We certainly wish your new organization success and feel confident that your coming into Kiwanis, will prove all that has been promised.

We are not able to send a representative to attend this meeting, but are sending you a gavel properly engraved for use at your Charter Presentation and thereafter, which we beg your club to accept with the very best wishes of the Minneapolis Kiwanis Club.

Please extend to the full membership of your club, an invitation for any of them, should they be in Minneapolis on a Tuesday at noon, to attend our luncheons, which are held at the Radisson Hotel. We will be glad to see them and have them with us.

If this office can be of any assistance to you or your officers at any time, please command us.

Very sincerely yours,
L. A. Baker,
Secretary.

KIWANIAN PHILOSOPHY

When a bit of sunshine hits ye,
After passing of a cloud,
When a fit of laughter gits ye
An' your spine is feelin' proud,

Don't forgit to up and fling it
At a friend who wants a smile;
Unless all while you're a-slingin'
You have tears in every aisle.

Never hang your cat upon a limb,
While your friends are full of care,
But just pass an ounce of oil to him,
And help dissolve his care.
