Af ter the luncheon President Mohn of the College explained tl-.e purpore of the meeting c.nd introduced the cillef speaker, Klwanian Joe Bowles, of At. lanta, district organizer in this state. "Joe" spoke most entertainingly and explained the workings of Kiwanls, giving a most comprehensive account of its scope, its purposes and it ideals. He stated that it is amost democratic organization, taking in men of all pro fessions and lines of business without regard to the size of one's bankroll, but that each must be a leader in his community. Kiwanls seeks to pro mote good fellowship among Its mem bers and the community at large, to advance every civic Interest and to get behind every movement looking to the advancement of the community. The Kiwanls plan is to meet for a weekly luncheon where sour and story have their place as well rs sar lous business discussions. One of the pleasing rules Is that each clu!> must hold a ladies' night each quarter. These meetings mean much in the so cial life of a community and the devel opment of community morale. Rev. "Tom" Vickers, pastor of the Henderson Methodist church vrns next Introduced and told of the things Ki wanls had done for Henderson Among the many things he mentioned was that a better feeling was established among the business men, a cleaner and finer "atmosphere" was found on the streets of the town; that nelghbor llness and brotherly love was now the rule and not the exception; that every business, school, church, had been help ed In a very definite way. Each man present then gave his views of Kiwanls and without excep tion each man gave hearty approval. A motion was made and carried unan imously that a Kiwanls Club he organ ised. Temporary officers were than elected as follows: A. W. Mohn, Pres ident, T. W Watson. Secretary, and F| J. Beasley, Treasurer. The officer* With Dr. 9. P. Burt and F. A. Roth' signed the application for a charter. It Is tff he hoped that a clrb can be organised In I-oulsburg for surh a so cial and civic organisation Is much needed.

Work To Begin At Once. The Board of Trustees of Louisburg College have authorized the College to issue a 6% bond in the amount of $75,000.00 with which to erect a new building and remodel and modernize Main Hall and Davis Memorial Building. The new building will be a dormitory to be erected west of the Main Hall and .joined to it as a West Wing. It will contain dormitory space for fifty girls and will thus permit the admis sion of fifty additional boarding students next fall. The new building will be ready for occupancy September first of this year. Main Hall and Davis Memorial Building will be repaired and renewed inside anil the dining hall will be greatly enlarged. This is the first step in an expansion program_mado necessary by the increasing popularity of the college and by the new re quirements of the North Carolina College Association, which has set new standards for the accredited Junior Colleges of the State. Atwcod and Nasli, architects of New York, specializing in college buildings and now completing the $7,000,000 building program for the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, have been retained as the architects and have already submit ted building plans. M. S. Davis, Louisburg architect, has been engaged to luive charge of the construction work and Mr. Davis expects to start operations almost immediately. President A. W. Mohn in announcing the plans said, "Louis burg College is one of the oldest educational institutions in North Carolina, in fact it was one of the first educational insti tutions exclusively for women to be established anywhere in the United States. It was organized in 1802 as an Academy for the daughters of the pioneers of Franklin County and. for 122 years it has played an important part in the culture anil development of his state. It has grown steadily in size and rank and is now one of the fullv accredited Junior Colleges of North Carolina. The increasing number of young women desiring to enter Louis burg College makes it imperative to add this new wing at once. By taking advantage of this opportunity for development we can establish on these foundations an educational institution which will perpetuate the service and traditions of old Louis burg for another hundred years, ? in fact for all time." ? The bonds are being sold through the local banks of Louis burg. Although they have not yet-been delivered by the en gravel s and no public announcement of the issue has been made, several thousand of the issue have already been spoken for. Members of the faculty of the college, alone, have sub scribed for $3,500 worth of the bonds. ACCEPT PLANS FOB JAIL EE PAIRS Appoint Road Trustees ? Many Rou. tine Matters Attended To.
