Some twenty-five children in the second and third grades are in the orchestra, and their perfect tirw and well-played parts gave the club members some idea of the time and great care given the children in preparation for their work. The leader, little Miss Helen Gal loway, eight years old, was a marvel to the Kiwanians. She directed the orchestra with a precision that would have done credit to a well organized hand of grown folks. After the srlendid numbers rendered by the little orchestra, the club got .down to serious business. It was decided to have "clean-up" week here, beginning on Monday, May 8, and devote the whole week to getting the town in shape for the summer rush of visitors.
