Since oi^aniiing the Kiwanis Club the business men of .our community1 have had the opportunty to bring to the surface the needs of the town, the needs of the business men and have Invited men leaned to their field ol activity to analyse certain problems for us. Kiwanis has meant that ; we, as business men, living in the same invironment, have been raised to an equal level In order to enlighten our selves toward making our community a better and brighter place In which to live. Definite programs have been inaugurated which, In the most part, ?have been carried out to the benefit of the town. Men in the various profes sions and business have been brought to gether to discuss the ways and means of bettering their business, and professions. A social hour each week has encouraged us to seek companion ship ofone another, forming a weekly contact hitherto untried. A direct re sult of this Is manifested by the form nig of stronger bonds and fellowship, causing us to realise and understand the part that wb al-e playing in the upbuilding of our interests and the I affairs of the community. Kiwanis, tho' Indirectly, has formed us Into a sym-1 pathisng group of business and pro fessional men eager to further our. pronperlty and the progress of the town and county; - Briefly, what has Rlwanls in Louis-. burg accomplished? I" consider the; most Important factor la Kiwanis is he bringing together of different types ! yt individuals T>y a means of social contact. This instinct of man to M lemble has been definitely met by our Kiwanis meetings. We have had the food fortune of being the host, of lome of North Carolina's most ?dis.

An apportunt ty Justly deserved and an opportunity i which was received and digested. In reviewing the field In which the Kiwanis has been active we find that an awakening has como as regards to the road situation In the county. Kiwanis sent h committee to Durham with results that will materallse cur hopes With better roads for Franklin jounty.
