Kiwanis Club Picks
Ballot Battalion
To Get Out the Vote
Thin year Kiwanis is urging all
its clubs to form a Battot Battal
ion to get out the vote on election
days. Bill Remple was appointed
Monday as chairman of the Pal
mer Kiwanis Ballot Battalion
committee, with Jim Hurley and
Johnny Reed to help The PA
system committee’s help w’as also
enlisted in the project.
The Easter Egg Hunt was dis
cussed pro and con as a Kiwanis
project at the weekly luncheon
meeting of the service club this
week.
It was pointed out that to
many people it was a waste of
money to continue the program.
This year’s hunt cost the Kiv.anis
Club over $100 besides the indi
vidual contributions of its mem
bers and other interested citizens.
Some Kiwanis felt that this
money could be used toward play
ground equipment that the kid
dies could enjoy for a longer
period of time. Marvin Slaughter
and members of his committee
were thanked for doing a grand
job in this year’s hunt.
Two new members were taken
into Kiwanis membership this
week. They are George Crowther
and Rev. Edward Imme. They
will be initiated at the regular
meeting next Monday.
