diately after the Cleveland con
vention, which be attended. At
that time Kiwanls consisted of 533
clubs and 47,870 nrembers where
as on July 1, 1928. there were
735 clubs and more than 102,000

At the time of his taking up his
work In Kiwanls the organisa

horizon and these were by bo
means simple or few. Kiwanls
was fortunate to have had an In
ternational secretary a man of his
broad experience, good judgment
and poised administrative ability,
when those qualities. were so ne
cessary in stabilizing Kiwanls that
it mig"ht continue Its progress with
the highest of standards and
Ideals.

Salem Kiwanians Proud of
Accomplishments of Their
Club During Last 8 Years
The Salem Kiwanis
the quickest organized club in Kiwanis history, has carried
that impetus for rapid, decisive action as a beacon lijrht
ii. ...... i- ii i ii ... ... ...
imuusu me neany eigm years oi trie club's Me. Its history is
uiaxivcu viin aciiieveinuuus mat nave originally raised the
standards of the capital city, and influenced the state at
large.
On September 9, 1921, a group O
of prominent Salem men, Dr. Hen
ry E. Morris, T. M. Hicks, Roy
Shields, Oliver Meyers. Dan Fry,
Jr., Karl Becke and Sam Kozer,
met to study the organization of
a service club that would bring
business and professional men of
the city In close contact as a group
for the betterment of civic con
ditions. At Dr. Morris' request, the
Portland Kiwanis club made a sur
very of the' Salem . field, and de
cided to sponsor a club here. - The
first general organization meeting
was held September 20, at which
time the 75 members required by
the charter regulations were
signed. Three days previous to
this first organization meeting the
international field representative,
Walter Humpton of Minnesota,
came to Salem in behalf of the
Kiwanls International. This rec
ord of three day's work has never
been equaled.
The charter was presented to
the Salem club Friday night. Oc
tober 7. One hundred member
from the sponsoring Portland
club attended the banquet and the
ceremonies which followed. The
guest of honor was Sylvester W.
Lawrence, district lieutenant gov
ernor, and Fred Delano of Salem
was toastmaster. - Roy F. Shields,
president; Sam A. Kozer, vice
president; Henry E. MorTia, secre
tary; and T. M. Hicks, treasurer,
were Installed as the first officers
of the Salem Kiwanis club.
The Infant club immediately
started on a program of commun
ity development, the first signal
achievement being the lighting of
the town clock in the tower of the
Marlon county courthouse, a long
felt need. A sign was placed at
the Oregon Electric station at
Chemawa by the Kiwanians, tell
ing of the Chemawa Indian school
and its Importance.
The major objective of the first
year's work of the club was the
creation of the Associated Char
ities, which was sponsored and
supported by the Kiwanls group
until it was able to maintain it
self as an Independent working
organization.
Roy T. Shields, the club's first
president, was followed in office
In 1923 by John Carson. Under
CarBon's leadership, the club par
ticipated In the Willamette uni
versity endowment drive, the
team from the Kiwanis club tying
the rest of the teams in subscrip
tions received. The Federated
clubs of Salem was also organized
by the Kiwanls club during this
period. In order that duplication
of work might be avoided by the
various groups in the city, and al
so that concerted action in civic
enterprises might be assured. This
federation has not functioned no
ticeably during the past several
years, its groundwork being so
well laid that the various clubs
cooperate without a specific re
quest to do so.
In 1924. rl-.cn Dr. Henry Mor
ris was president, the drive for
funds to start the first unit of the
Salem general hospital was held,
with the committee for the Kiwa
nis club, assisted by the hospital
board of directors, raising the ma
jor portion of the $60,000 re
quired. The seed for the Marion coun
ty child health demonstration was
sowed at this time, when the Ki
wanis club wrote to the Common
wealth Fund of New York, asking
for information concerning this
project. Upon receiving the reply,
the Kiwanls club immediately as
sured the Commonwealth that
Marion county was within the re
quirements made. While Dr. Mor
ris was east the New York pro
ject asked that a survey be made,
and this was handled by Ihe
chamber of commerce. This year,
1929, sees the completion of the
work done In Marion county by
the foundation, but the county
health unit work will continue.
Two purely club activities that
remain as major incidents during
this period were the "every mem
ber contest" and the winning of
the international attendance con
test in the silver division. Sam
Kozer and ex-Governor Walter
Pierce both made 100 per cent In
the member contest, and the club
as an average made 96 per cent.
T. M. Hicks and Cooke Patton
were the contest leaders. This was
an unusually effective "get ac
quainted" stunt, with each club
member required to visit all other
members in their places of bus
iness. It was under the presidency of
T. B. McCullough in 1925 that
the Salem club completed a pro
ject which became the major ob
jective for Kiwanis Internation
al. The Salem club had been try
ing to secure a graded high school
for the Chemawa Indian school
for several years previous, and
had finally enlisted the aid of the
Oregon and Washington clubs.
When Ed Aras, president of the
international Kiwanis clubs, vis
ited Salem in 1924, his aid was
secured. He in turn introduced
this objective to the international
board of Kiwanis which secured
action from the United States de
partment of Indian Affairsj and
the high school at Chemawa be
came a reality. The combined ef
forts of the clubs succeeded
where the same objective advan
ced as a commercial enterprise
had failed.
Kiwanls members were out
standing in their efforts during
the Y. M. C. A. building fund
drive, which took place when Karl
Becke was president, in 1926. The
Kiwanis club team, one of the four
building fund teams, raised the
largest amount secured by the
competing teams.
The drive for the half million
dollar bond issue for city schools,
under which Parrish and Leslie
junior highs were built and a
wing added to the senior high
school, was sponsored by the local
Kiwanis, between 15 and 20 club
members addressing community
meetings In favor of this project.
The summer playground system
was also inaugurated by the Ki
wanis club at this time.
When Ed Schunke became pres
ident, In 1927, the club's influence
became statewide when It spon
sored the Jersey show at the Ore
gon state fair. Its agricultural
committee has furnished more
than 50 programs for community
clubs during the last several
years.
In 1928, with Charles Wiper at
the head of the club, local Kiwan
ians organized a boy scoot troup of
35 members. A survey for zoning
and bridge developments was
made, and a city planning and
zoning commission sponsored.
The bond issue for new and per
manent bridges received enthus
iastic support from the club.
Under the present leadership of
Ralph Cooler, the Kiwanis club.
.has secured the promise of the
state highway commission to de
velop Holman park, a spot of his
toric significance in early Oregon
history, and which Is located on
the west side Paeifle highway.
While the Influence of the Sa
lem club has not been confined
to the limits of the city of Salem,
its greatest influence on neighbor
ing towns In the Willamette val
ley was made through the spon
soring by the Kiwanls club In the
capital city of Kiwanls clubs in
Dallas, Corvallis, Albany , M c
Minnville and Oregon City.
The visible sign of the club's
activities which has most influ
ence on the traveling public Is
the clever notice a few miles north
of Salem that the spot Is midway
between the north pole and the
equator. Numerous comments
have been aroused by the unique
Kiwanls sign.
The Salem club has Invited the
Pacific Northwest Kiwanls d I s
trlct to hold its convention here
for the last eight years.
