C. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1925 SUBSCRIPTION $2.00 JOHN H. MOSS President Kiwanis International Milwaukee, Wisconsin THE STORY OF 1VE KIWANIS nOVENENT Kiwanis International is a compo site group of business, professional and agricultural men devoted to the rendering of ci\ic and social service to the respective communities in which the many member clubs are located. This International organization at this date is made up of some 1400 clubs in that many cities of the United States and Canada with a member ship of 96000. Each of these clubs enjoys autonomy, but at the same time functions in direct connection with district and International administra tion. Each club is made up of two of the leaders in each business and pro fession in the city brought together in close association to aid in the solution of national, state and community prob lems. The work of aiding and assisting the under-privileged child has been divided into four major groups. The physically, the mentally, the morally, the economically under-privileged. The work covers so large a range that it is almost impossible to describe it without remembering the numerous phases of work connected with the under-privileged child activity. Dur ing a recent period of twelve months over 300 clubs administered general welfare work. This service included sponsoring milk and ice funds, financ ing day nurseries, members adopting fatherless boys and keeping check on their progress, sending under-nourish ed children to mountain camps, sup plying needy school children with clothing, sending girls to summer camps for vacations, giving free memberships in the Y. M. C. A., es tablishing Kiwanis camps for children, giving 280 orphans birthday presents, sending clothing to suffering German children, aiding immigrant children, pledging thousands of dollars for children’s homes, building fresh air camps, and engaging “Kiwanis Happi- (Continued on page eight) r mmM OFFICERS OF ABERDEEN, (SANDHILL) KIWANIS CLUB Reading from left to right: Dr. W.

Newcomb is one of the most important members of the Aber deen Kiwanis club for he keeps on tap a line of yarns that he always uncorks when he gets a chance, and most gatherings are ready to listen when he gets up and starts that smile. One is the fairly well-worn story about the stranger from California, who dropped in at a funeral in a town where he was stopping, and when the preacher after a brief sermon asked if any of the friends had a word to say about the deceased and no one re sponded, he got up and said if no one cared to say anything about the de parted brother he might say a word about California. With the virtues of Kiwanis sung so persistently in the last two or three days a word now about the Sandhill country. Leonard Tufts once years ago located his place by telling that his father had bought it as several thousand acres of the poor est land in North Carolina. It was probably a fact then. But it is now different. Pinehurst is the golf capi- (Continued on page eight) The above picture of the Girfa^ Dormitory of the Sandhill Fami Life School, of which the Aberdeen (Sandhill) Kiwanis Club is great backer. FAIR ATTRACTS NANY PEOPLE (Mrs. S. R. Smith) The Sandhill Fair, which for eleven years has been the means of attract ing crowds of people to Pinehurst and which has done more than any other factor to show to the world what the Sandhills are and can do, drew to a close with Annual Harvest Ball at the Pinehurst Country C*ub on Last Friday night. Each of the four days was a big day, a/id the manag3men can rest aisured that it attained the great object that it had in mind, “to educate, encourage and to entertain.” On Tuesday, two hundred and forty- six students from twenty-five vo cational high schools participated in the live stock and crop judging con tests. That evening, an elaborate fireworks program was given. The Wednesday morning feature was an old fashioned Baby Show, where dozens of baby boys and girls up to three years of age competed for the prizes. It was a fine looking and well behaved group of babies, general ly speaking. A few of them expressed in unmistakeble language their opinions of fairs in general and of baby shows in particular, but these were the exception. On Wednesday afternoon a pageant of great beauty, “Queene Nature’s Festival,” was presented by school children from various parts of Moore County. A more captivating scene would be hard to imagine than that presented by the hundreds of children elaborately cos tumed to represent Queen Nature, Fairies, Seasons, Winds, Grasses, Seeds, Raindrops, Sunbeams, Birds, Gnomes, Butterflies and Flowers as they danced upon the grassy carpet of the stage before a back ground of trees and flowers. Perhaps the most wonder ful part of the Fair, certain ly the most wonderful to music lovers ((Continued on page 2) GROUP CONFERENCE OF PRESBYTERIANS A grovp conference for Presby- .e Ian Wome.i of Moore County will 3 he d in the Presbyterian Church at '’anieron, W dnesday morning, Nov. rtli, a. eleven o’clock.
