GOMmlTTEES FOR
I Highlights
One of the men who Is great
ly Biased la J. P. Neal, known
to Klwanians M "Jlmmie."
J inutile has served as Interna
tional trustee nd international
rice president. He was mntil last
Friday supervisor of transporta
tion In the department of utili
ties at Olympia- He and a fel
low supervisor resigned Friday;
after what is presumed to be
some decapitating by Governor
Hartley. Neal wsa formerly a
practicing attorney at Walla
Walla. He was expected at thin
convention but the Olympia
eruption doubtless interfered.
Father and son in Kiwanis, a
pair of them. F. H. Walker of
Ashland and his son. Dr. D. A.
Walker, ot Astoria, were Intro
duced; also Judge Thomas Neill
and his son, Roy A. Nelll of Pull
man, Wash. They got a good hand.
Shown oa the speaker's desk
is the Pasco bell which haa been
making a tour of all the dabs
of the district. It has been pret
ty well about and has been at
two district conventions and one
international. Pasco started it
aad furnished the bell. Each
club engraves its name aad the
date of the visit on the bell, then
some members take it on to a
neighboring clnb for the next
meeting.
Rev. Alexander Bennett, who
gave the address Sunday night,
showed up at the convention yes
terday afternoon with his Jaw all
bandaged up. He was called on
to rive an explanation. All he
vouchsafed was that he met a man
who said "Good-night." The joke
Is that Bennett's theme was to say
a cheery "Good morning."
Advertising agency men are
well represented. Fred Syverson
of Spokane, a past district gov
ernor, and Ted Daken of Seat
tle, are agency men well known
over the northwest.
One of the utility men who is a
delegate is Howard Cooper, man
ager of th8 Pacific Power and
Light Co., at Lewiston. Idaho.
Lewiston has the reputation of be
ing the hottest place in the north
west, but that is what makes its
fine crops. Lewiston grows cher
ries, head lettuce, peaches and the
uplands produce bountiful yields
of wheat.
George Aiken, president of
the Oregon state press associa
tion, is here from Ontario, tell
ing folks about how Malheur
county has the biggest dam on
on earth, or will "have In tht
Owyhee.
Newspaper man and state legis
lator is the combination carried by
O. H. Olson, of Pasco, Wash. Mr
Olson is lieutenant governor of Ki
wanis. Mrs. Olson is accompanying
him.
Tillamook club brought over
a cheese that Is some cheese. It
weighs 600 lbs., and looks like
a slice off a fir log. The cheese
is three feet across and a foot
thick. It Is shown in the window
at Roth's grocery.
The great big fellow, round
faced, who gets up and sings on occasion.-
is Dr. Elmer Hill, who
mixes music with medicine at Wal
la Walla. His infectious smile la
as good as his prescriptions.
Extract from, address of De
Loss W. Walker at Monday con
vention luncheon: "You live In
the greatest land; you lire In
the greatest day in history; yon
are the greatest people. (Ap
plause). An amplifier has been installed
in the armory by Radio headquar
ters of Salem to throw the. voice
of the speaker throughout the en
tire room. The amplifier has
proved a distinct asset for hearers
near the speakers' table and in the
center of the room but in the cor
ner of the armory where the pro-
ect board is located, the sound is
garbled and hard to understand
Earl Nott, popular district
attorney from SIcMinnville, is
slated for the district governor
ship of his own territory. ' Earl
is a young man but early in life
acquired a beautiful gray thatch
which given mnch dignity to his
appearance. His profession
coupled with a number of years
spent as manager of Chautau
qua circuits have giTen hint am
ple command of the English
laaguage and speaking poise to
handle any situation.
"What exquisite gardens; I am
going home and start right to
work on mine." Such was the ex
presslon of at least one of the vis
Horn through theoush the many
Lbeautlful gardens which Salem is
so proud of. One carload of auto
ists was unanimous in acclaiming
Salem the most beautiful residen
tial elty of Its size they had yet
seen.
Oae of the dapper members
of the Salem Klwanin dub ts
George M. King, one of the pro
prietors of local shoe store.
On Saturday of last week a
George King was arrested la Sa
lem and fined f 10 for being In
toxicated. It was not George,
the KhraaJaa, but the latter has
been kept busy since the news
paper notion appeared, explain
ing that there really is an "M"
1st his name.
Kiwaaians appear to be ft senti
mental tribe. Just when the song
leaders had announced No. 16 as
the bit to be sung by the club
there arose a cry of No. t, which
is that old favorite entitled, "Let
Me Call You Sweetheart.' Nor
would the err down." After the
entire audience had persisted In
yelling No. 9. the leader granted
the favorite. And how they sang
it; great lovers, these Kiwaaians.
Gathered Her and Yon at,
the District Convention
of Kiwanis Clubs
Many a dressing room debate
was waged Monday even tag over
the question of the proper at
tire for the gentlemen mem
bers of the party. The result
waa that some wore Tuxedos
and more than that- number
wore the plain business suit
Some aald they wouldn't be so
formal as to drew in a Twxedo
for a democratic banquet ttko
that of a Kiwanis dab; others
'fessed up that they were sans
Tuxedo and so wore what they
had. No OM broke the Ice and
appeared in pajamas.
There was an occasional buzz of
politics throughout the convention
halls Monday but the inside evi
dence points to the election of
Charles Walker of Portland
Charles knows his Kiwanis facts
and In addition he is good-looking,
makes an effective speech and is
successful in producing as good
stenographers as the northwest
boasts.
SEEN FOR I IN.
Glowing Picture Painted by
Speaker Before Kiwan
is Group
Don't doubt yourself or the
land In which you live: we have
everything here with which to
build a great empire. What is
needed to make this country truly
great is great men; Kiwanis can
bring such men together and unite
them for the building of the coun
try?"
Such was the message brought
to nearly 500 men of Kiwanis
Monday noon by DeLoss Walker
of Seattle, who emphasized his re
marks by a glowing picture of the
northwest as he vlsioned it, fav
ored by a wonderful climate, val
uable natural resources and front
ed by the greatest ocean in the
world.
Civilization has moved steadily
westward, according to Walker,
and here in the northwest is to be
built one of the greatest sections
the world has ever seen. Walker
declared that cooperation between
men was all important since single
efforts were ineffectual but united
efforts assured success.
Sylvester W. Lawrence of Port
land, past governor of the north
west district presided at the
luncheon in the armory. The Spo
kane trio composed of Dorothy
ana Catherine Robinson accom
panied by Ruth Meredith, played
two well received violin numbers.
Mrs. V. W. Gittings and Mrs. R.
W. Byrne, acocmpanied by Mrs,
R. E. Flowers, gave two Toeal
numbers representing the Aber
deen club. The Portland men's
quartet of which Arthur A. Bin
ford, George N. Angell, Llndon P
Barnett and Glen I Hart are
members, sang several numbers
which drew hearty applause.

The formal program of the con
vention was begun Monday morn
ing at the state capital In the hall

T. Harry Gowman o? Seattle mak
ing the annual report of the ex
ecutive leader of Kiwanis in the
northwest district. Gowman char
acterized the training School con

to add to their numbers sufficient
new members to bring the ranks
above to the charter mark.
Harold Jones, secretary-treasurer
of the northwest district of
Kiwanis, characterized the past

history of Kiwanis in the north

Good Morning Rather Than
Good Night Held Keynote
01 Kiwaniane by Speaker
Declaring the philosophy of the
Klwanians to be one of hope and
optimism. In which "Good morn
ing" Instead of "Good night" is
the key word, Rer. Alexander G.
Bennett, of Seattle, addressed the
assembled Kiwanis members at tht
First Presbyterian church Sunday
night, the opening day of the Pac
ific Northwest district convention
now In session here.
Taking as his subject, "Saluta
tion of the Dawn," Mr. Bennett
outlined the work of the Kiwanis
club in its local, national and in
ternational scope, emphasizing the
important part vocational guid
ance plays in the education of the
young, one of the fundamental
tenets of Kiwanian policy.
Because the Kiwanis sing has
come to have so much significance
as a symbol of optimism, the
speaker declared, any city with
that sign as a label, is known to
the world to be a group of men
in its midst who will "not allow
the dark and dismal day to come."
Prayer for the service was led
by Rev. W. Earl Cochran, who de
livered the invocation, who asked
jthat the spirit of Kiwanis should
prevail in every heart, and that
the spiritual should prevail over
the material, and by Chief Just
Ice Coshow of the Oregon Supreme
court.
Scriptural reading was by Rev
Will M. Richards of Port Orch
ards, Wash., and was the theme.
"God Is Love," which fitted in ex
cellently with the whole spirit of
the meeting.
Sam Cummings, of Dallas, Tex.,
past president of the Kiwanis In
ternational, addressed the assemb
lage for a few moments.
The services were opened with
"By the Sea," by Schubert, played
on the organ by Prof. T. S. Rob
erts. A duet on the violin, "To
Wild Rose," by MacDowell. wn
