CHANGE
Forty years ago there were
five hundred and eighty-six
makers of silk hats in New York
City alone. Today there are but
twenty-three in the entire Uni
ted States. Hair pins, canes,
overshoes and various other
commodities have almost passed
into the limbo of forgotten prod
ucts, while radios, home moving
picture machines, golf and ping
pong balls and other more mod
ern articles have come "rapidly to
the front.
These changes in manufacture
and sale are no more radical
than the changes in city govern
ment, in taxation, in public parks
and swimming pools. Where the
changes in trade conditions af
fect only those directly engaged
in manufacture and sale, the in
numerable changes in city gov
ernment are matters which inter
est every tax payer, and in which
every citizen should be thor
oughly educated.
Where does the city get its
money? How much goes for po
licing, for sanitation, for parks,
for schools, for fire protection,
for paving and for the various
departments of the city govern
ment? All this should be of in
finite Interest to every citizen.
Kiwanis boasts of developing
by precept and example a more
intelligent, aggressive and ser
viceable citizenship. Certainly
education along the lines of city
government is the first step in
that direction. It is not possible
for a man to take an interest in
anything he does not under
stand, unless it b9 a magician
pulling rabbits out of a hat.
There could be no more in
teresting talks than those which
would be made gladly by the
heads of the city's police depart
ment, fire department and those
dozen other city departments of
which the average citizen is al
most unconscious, because they
work so smoothly.
If a Kiwanis club is to be a
real success in a city, it should
know that city, its taxation and
its disbursements, their relation
one to the other, and the propor
tion and spread of the income
and outgo. (
Only a burglar can make a
citizen police conscious, a fire
make him realize the benefit of
the fire department, and only a
dead cat in front of his house '
make him aware of the existence
of a sanitary department in his
town. If the program chair
man would arrange with the city i
government a know Your Home
Town course of meetings, the Ki
wanians would have a more In
telligent sympathy for the city
fathers who are trying to make
the home town a good, town, and
a more enthusiastic enmity to
ward an unsound government. i
Turn over the paving rocks of i
your town government and see
what is under them. i
and elsewhere la the following an
nouncement: "Mrs. Ida Shores
Cockerham announces the marriage
of her daughter, Estelle, to Mr.
Gayle Davis, on Saturday, Septem
ber 30th, 1933, at Shelbyvllle,
Kentucky."
The bride Is a native of Elkin and
a daughter of Mrs. Ida Shores
Cockerham and the late Clarence R.
Cockerham, and is a member of one
of Elkln's most prominent families.
She was educated at North Carolina
College for Women, Greensboro and
Baptist Training school at Louis
ville, Kentucky. She was a mem
ber of the Elkin and High Point
school faculties for several years
prior to going to Shelbyvllle, Ken
tucky, where she has served for sev
eral years as secretary to the pastor
of the First Baptist church.
The bridegroom is engaged in
business In Shelbyvllle, where they
will reside.

The Yadkin Valley Garden Club
met In an interesting session on

esting papers on the chosen subject.

KIWANIS DIGNITY
Old-timers in Kiwanis recall
with some embarrassment a fea
ture of district and International
conventions of a dozen years ago.
Some misguided delegations, con
fusing the purpose of these con
ventions and their effect on the
people of the convention city,
came to the meetings in cos
tumes ranging from handsome,
to ridiculous.
The recent convention at Los
Angeles was marked with an en
tire absence of these misguided
i delegations. Club pride will al
ways suggest a marker of some
sort, like the well known arm
bands of orange so characteristic
of the Californians. These add a
touch of color and in no way
detract from the dignity of the
wearer.
There is plenty of opportunity
for costuming in some of .the jo
vial social organizations, like
the Shrine and the glks, and it
is appropriate there, but Kiwanis
is an organizaztion of the best
business and professional men of
the continent banded together
with a serious purpose, and cer
tainly absurd costumes have no
place in their meetings.
The effect of the costume on
the wearer is as detrimental as
is the effect the public. Put
a man in a ridiculous costume
and, having made a fool of him
self in dress, he feels that it is
incumbent on him to make a fool
of himself in his actions. No
better example can be given than
the average masquerade ball or
costume dance. Romeos feel it
necessary to be romantic, clowns
to turn somersaults and devils
to be devilish.
Let us hope that these things
have passed out of Kiwanis never
to return, and that the Joyous
ness of a convention will not be
lessened by the fact that Kiwan
ians dress and act away from
home exactly as they would at
home. No convention city can
ask more.
