70 Attend First 1951
Kiwanis Ladies’ Night
Held Here Monday
Approximately 70 members,
their ladies and guests were iri
attendance at the first Ladies
Night of the 1951 administration
of the Palmer Kiwanis Club held
Monday evening at the St. John’s
Lutheran Church. A sumptuous
turkey dinner with all the trim
mings, elicited congratulatory
comments from the guests for the
cuisine as prepared and served
by members of the St. John’s Lu
theran Ladies Aid. A background
of dinner music recordings, table
decorations of yellow jonquils,
and corsages of white carnations
for each of the ladies present,
also added to the delightful party.
An invocation by Father James
Snead opened the meeting, which
also included a business session
when three new members of the
Palmer Kiwanis Club were ini
tiated, and a special program:
New members who were wel
comed by Dr. C. C. Bailey, in
charge of the initiation, were
Stanley Laird, Martin Sherman
and Jack Tost. Emil Ganschow
made the presentation of the Ki
wanis buttons to the new mem
bers.
• “Kiwanis is a service organ
ization with each, of the 3000
clubs throughout the nation de
voted to render a type of service
that will make the community a
better place in which to live,'’
Dr. Bailey said in welcoming the
* new members.
“Kiwanis is not a luncheon
club, although we have lunch
eons; Kiwanis is not a church,
although the Golden Rule is our
guide and we do have the clergy j
as members; Kiwanis is not a1
political organization, although
we believe that every member j
should be an informed citizen,” j
Dr. Bailey said.
“Kiwanis, on the contrary, is a;
constant search for opportunities
to serve where needed most and
it is the duty of each member to
attend meetings and to actively ]
carry out the committee func-1
tions to which he is assigned as
a part of the club for the good of
the community,” Dr. Bailey con
cluded his brief talk.
William Zahradnicek, with a
perfect attendance record for the
past year, was honored with a Ki
wanis award button, which was
also presented by Mr. Ganschow.
Committee reports included
Mr. Ganschow', in charge of the :
basketball tournament set for this :
week-end, requesting help at the :

MUSIC IS A LANGUAGE
and, like other languages, is easily learned during childhood, but more and more
difficult as we grow older. Nine out of ten children can become good musicians
if they start soon enough; but most people are hopeless unless they form
musical habits before reaching the age of 12. Nearly all of the great players
started at 5 or younger, and were concert soloists at 10.
Start your child in music as soon as it can carry a tune or finger
an instrument!
It won’t cost a cent to get your child started and
past the critical stage of development. Ask for details.
