KIWANIANS HEAR REPORT FROM CONVENTION g e v. G. R. Gillespie Gives De tailed Report of Winston- Salem Convention Pro ceedings Monday \ large attendance was present at the Kiwanis Club meeting Monday evening and a number of visitors add e(j to the pleasure of the occasion p r . R. R. Howes had charge of the program. Mrs. Edington presid ed at the piano. A joint meeting of the Forest City, Rutherfordton and Shelby clubs will l, e held in this city on the evening of Thursday, November 25. Dr. G. R. Gillespie read the follow in? report on the district conven tion at Winston-Salem. As delegates, representing the Forest City Kiwanis club at the eighth annual convention of Kiwanis for the Carolinas District, we find ourselves in a position tonight to thoroughly sympathize with all of our fellow members who were not enabled to at tend this most wonderful and colorful gathering, in the history of Kiwanis in North and South Carolina. The convention was a pronounced success from the first registration of dele gates on Wednesday afternoon to the last word that adjourned the re markable assembly Friday noon. Del egates Giles, Eakes, Flack and Dog gett, accompanied by Howard Mag ness, a feature of the Thursday morning session, reached Winston- Salem, Wednesday night. Trustee Gillespie arrived early Thursday morning. From the very first moment of arrival until the close, the time of every local delegate was filled to the utmost and the task of making this report falls to me, simply for the reason that the other four were so busily engaged in putting Forest City on the District and International map, that I was the only one privi ledged to profit by the programs and progress of the convention. What- To the 5000 who daily become owners of the new Ford car The service obligation of the Ford Motor Company and its dealer organization is now growing at the rate of 5000 cars a day. It is to these new car owners that this message is addressed. Hie new Ford is a remark ably fine car for one that costs so little. It is simple in design, constructed of the finest materials, and built to unusually close measure ments. These are the reasons it • performs so wonderfully. These are also the reasons >ts service requirements are 80 few and the up-keep cost 80 low. When you receive your new car, the dealer will ex plain the simple little things *hat should be attended to at regular intervals to insure performance. He also tell yeu something pf his own facilities for do> *ng this work promptly and at small cost* With the purchase of your , ar ' y°u are entitled to Free DB Pection Service by your dealer at 500, 1000 and . miles.

FORD MOTOR COMPANY ever honor may accrue to the local club, in the election of a district of ficial, is due entirely to the zeal, the sacrifices,the untiring efforts and devoted loyalty of Kiwinians Giles, Eakes, Flack and Doggett, who work ed day and night for ftieir town and their comrade in Kiwanis. They were cheerfully and ably supported by Deck Wilson and R. E. Price, of Rutherfordton and the delegation, as a whole, from Shelby. We will have opportunity of expressing our appre ciation to these clubs Thursday night of next week when they come to our city for a joint meeting, and we are sure this will be done in a most ac ceptable manner. Due to the execu tive ability and magnificent work of Harry general chairman of Winston-Salem's convention com mittee, 142 accredited delegates, four delegates at large and 573 Kiwanians and families were registered for the two and one-half days session of this convention that will live long in the memories of all who were privileged to attend. From 2 p. m. until midnight the first afternoon of the convention was devoted to registration of delegates, conferences of district trustees and executive committees, closing the day with a get-to-gether meeting in the interest of visiting delegates and a complimentary danee to visiting la dies, in the ball room of the Robert E. Lee hotel, where all sessions of the convention were held. The convention proper opened in the ball room Thurs day morning, the time until 11 a. m. being taken up with addresses of welcome, responses, reports of con vention committees and Lieut.-Gov ernors. From 11 to 12 conferences for the presidents, secretaries and district trustees were conducted in adjoining rooms. During the morning session delegates were entertained by the singing of Howard Magness, of Forest City, with numerous comments on the ability of our young local boy. Also by Mrs. Jay Ward, of Lake Lure, sponsored by the Rutherford ton club. A luncheon for men only was held at noon featured by music and song and a splendid address by International-secretary Fred Parker, outlining the fundamental principles of Kiwanis. An outstanding address Included in the Free In spection Service is a check up of the battery, the generator charging rate, the distributor, the carburetor adjustment, lights, brakes, shock absorbers, tire infla tion and steering gear. The engine oil is also changed and chassis lubricated. No charge whatever is made for labor or materials incidental to this inspection service, except where re pairs are necessary because of accident, neglect, or mis use. Fhe labor of changing the eshgine oil and lubricat ing the chassis is also free, although a charge is made for the new oiL believe Ibat when jpn see the food effects of this inspection yon will «ontinne to iuwt it done regularly throughout the ttfe of your Wherever you live, yon will find the Ford dealer very helpful in keeping your car in good running order for many thousands of miles at a minimum of trouble and expense. He operates under close factory supervision and has been trained and equipped to do this work promptly, thorough ly and economically. THE FOREST CITY COURIER, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1928 on "Kiwanis and Public Health" by Dr. Chas. O. Laughinghouse, of the State Board of Health, closed the afternoon session at 3:35, the re mainder of the afternoon being given over to attendance at the polo game between the U. S. Army and Winston- Salem, to which tickets and transpor tation were provided by the Winston- Salem club, as also were tickets to the city's most popular picture show for all who desired to attend. From 7:15 until 10:30 p. m. all Kiwanians, ladies and friends totaling 573, were regaled at the banquet tables in the spacious ball room and on the mez zanine floors. The banquet was en livened by a splendid orchestra, Mrs. Ward of Lake Lure, female quartet from Sumter, S. C., and the outstand ing addresses of the entire conven tion, by International-past president Heinz, of Atlanta, who among many other fine things, stressed the policies to be pursued by clubs during the coming year, stressing particularly enduring service for underprivileged children, promotion of intelligent un derstanding of citizenship; that there may be a more general use of the franchise and larger service to our courts in jury duties; promotion of icteals expressed in Kiwanis state ment of business standards; continu ation of efforts to establish better understanding between the farmer and city man; enlisting all Kiwanis clubs in providing vocational train ing for all young men and young women. He also emphatically and strongly, the applying of the Golden Rule to all club work and the individual lives and business associa tions of the members. After the banquet the entire com pany adjourned to another building, where, beginning at 10:30 p. m., oc curred the most unique entertain ment of the entire convention and, possibly, of any similar convention ever held. The entire upper floor of a mammoth building was arranged as an exact duplicate of a New York night club and named "The Red Rat". Until 3:30 o'clock Friday morning the 500 or more visitors were in a con tinuous uproar. No privilege charge was attached, refreshments, enter tainment and dancing free for all provided with Kiwanis tickets. The dancing was interspersed with music Spartanburg County Fair Spartanburg, 'October 30-31 S. C.

Very much to the grat ification of all Western North Car olina delegates the city of Green ville, S. C., was chosen for the next annual convention. In conclusion let me urge upon our local members a larger interest in and larger attend ance upon our district and Internat ional conventions. A challenge to all clubs in Division No. 1 was offered by Hickory clubs in the form of a loving cup for club having largest percentage of attend ance next year. Hickory has led for three years. Let's go, Forest City, and capture this cup. Forced to Sleep in Chair—Gas So Bad "Nights I sat up in a chair, I had such stomach gas. I took Adlerika and nothing I eat hurts me now.
