Kiwanis Club
Has First
Anniversary
The Kiwanis Club of Soldotna
Kenai officially observed the
first anniversary of its organiza
tion last Wednesday night with a
banquet at Parkers in Ridgeway.
Approximately 25 members and
guests heard brief speeches from
Hal DeVoe of the Anchorage Ki
wanis Club and Basil Dawes,
North Star Kiwanis Club of Spe
nard, guest speakers of the eve
ning. Bill Cardwell, current pres
ident of the Soldotna-Kenai Ki
wanis Club, introduced the speak
ers and served as master of cere
monies.
As a special entertainment
feature of the program, slides of
Whittier during the period of its
operation by the U. S. Army were
shown by Dick Hall, Kiwanis Club
member who was stationed at
Whittier at the time the slides
were made.
The local Kiwanis Club was of
ficially formed in an organiza
tional meeting on April 14, 1962
with approximately 30 charter
members. Its organization was as
sisted by the Anchorage and Spe
nard clubs.
First officers of the service or
ganization were Billy Jo Mize,
president; M. L. Grange and Jim
Gibson, vice presidents; Donald
Brumfield, secretary, and Robert
Wilson, treasurer.
Current officers for 1963, in ad
dition to Bill Cardwell, president,
are Allan Petersen, first vice
president; Jim Porter, second vice
president, and Billy Jo Mize, se
cretary-treasurer.
The purpose of Kiwanis is “Ser
vice” and the motto is “We Build.”
The local club's purpose includes
cooperation with other existing
community organizations in build
ing a better community, better
citizens and better men as indi
viduals.
Museum Benefit
Auction Planned
HOMER — An auction sale for
the purpose of earning addition
al finances for construction of a
historical museum at Homer will
begin at 10 a.m. this Saturday,
April 27, on the East Road at
Homer. The auction will be held
in the old skating rink building
opposite the Baptist- Church.
All types of items will be auc
tioned off including cribs, beds,
mattresses, tools of all kinds,
lamps, chains large enough for
the biggest equipment or small
enough for towing a car, and
numerous other articles. The auc
tion is being sponsored by the
Homer Society of Natural His
tory.
in a special meeting held Jan. 10
with school officials and represen
tatives of Manley and Mayer.
Changes in the original plans
reduced the floor space and
cut $450,000 from the original
estimate.
Plans, however, were redesign
ed to allow for additions to he
built at a later date to bring the
building estimate up to the $1,
450,000 authorized by the voters.
The proposed structure is de
signed to accomodate 500 stu
dents. High school enrollment has
advanced from 50 to 269 in the
past six years and in spite of con
tinued construction for schools at
Kenai, it has been necessary to
rent additional classroom space
outside the school plant each year.
Enrollment in the high school is
expected to climb to 1000 by 1970.
Engineer
To Confer
With Council
Roy Jenkins, district engineer
with the Alaska Department of
Highways, will be in Kenai next
Wednesday, May 1, to meet with
the Chamber of Commerce at
noon and with the City Council at
8 p.rn.
Although Jenkins is expected
to disucss other road business, his
visit is specifically in connection
with the highway project for
widening and reconstruction of
the North Kenai Road from a
point approximately 2,500 feet
southerly from the Wildwood in
tersection northerly to the Kenai
city limits, a total distance of ap
proximately 7,500 feet.
Notice has been publicized that
a public hearing will be held to
satisfy requirements if sufficient
requests are received by the De
partment of Highways prior to
April 26.
The City of Kenai has requested
such a hearing.
One reason for Jenkins’ visit
is to endeavor to explain matters
to the City Council sufficiently
that the request for a hearing
will be withdrawn. Work on the
road project will get underway
much quicker if there is no delay
because of waiting until public
hearings are held, the city has
been informed.
