Banquet Marks
Chartering of
Local Key Club
A large number of valley resi
dents attended the recognition
Ibanquet of the Palmer Kiwanis
Club and Palmer Key Club held
.in Elks hall this past Saturday
evening. Present were members
of both organizations and their
guests. Prior to the banquet a
social hour was held during
■which time those attending be
came acquainted through a get
acquainted game.
The Rev. Bertram Rutan, pas
tor of the United Protestant
Church and a Kiwanian, was the
speaker. He chose “Service Wit!)
a Smile” as his topic and brought
■thought from his listeners. He
pointed out the purpose of the Ki
wanis Club is found in three
words: Dedicated Community Ser
vice. How to acquire an awareness
of the meaning and motivation be
hind community service so that
it will not be an initial, enthus
iastic embracing of impressive ob
jectives without adequate follow
■through, but a continuing effort
to fulfill them, is a problem, the
■speaker pointed out.
“We cannot easily awaken the
nation to the importance of un
derstanding mental illness, one of
imr 1958 objectives, but if it mak
er: it easier for one afflicted fam
ily to be more fully acepcted in
«ur society, if it educates a few
people with emotional problems
to find help before they becom5
mentally ill, it is significant ser
vjce. In terms of world problems
'it may not seem nice rauun ui a
contribution to struggle for ade
quate safety controls at the rail
:road crossing for our school chil
dren, but if it saves one leg or
one life we have certainly accom
plished something worthwhile.
“But our service must also be
sincere ... as a club we will do
'well to probe beneath the surface
4(3 determine the actual motives
behind our actions. Occasionally
we may discover that our service
is not so much for others as for
ourselves: for the feeling of self
nreportance or self-satisfaction
that it creates, for the recognition
or prestige that comes our way.
“Our service must be spiritual.
This spiritual element is basical-,
iy recognition that we can best
.yi our place, responsibilities and
goals concerning man when we
see our place responsibilities and
jroals concerning God.
“With these elements of ade
> quale service in mind, I turn to
the title: “Service with a Smile”
the smile I speak of comes
l.oa man who is at peace with
himself because he has accepted
tils responsibilities in life and who
fenows that his community, his
country and his world will be a
little better because of tvhat he
Jhar done.”
