From here, the servicing of all 4600 U.S., Canadian and Hawaiian clubs is The general office of Kiwanis International moved into new quarters the just-complet- ed Kiwanis International Building at 101 E. Erie Street in Chicago on Friday, March 20, it was announced by Joseph Sehee of the Sugar House Kiwanis Club. All 115 of the international service organization's general of-fice employees will, be housed in the new million dollar struc-ture. From this building 4600 U.S. and Canadian Kiwanis clubs will be serviced. The move into the Kiwanis International Building is the final step in a five year program of finance, design and construc-tion on the part of Kiwanis. Every Kiwanis member con-tributed financially to the proj-ect. According to International President Kenneth B. Loheed of Toronto, Ontario, "the comple-tion of this beautiful building is proof positive of the confidence in Kiwanis' future, on the part of all 256,000 Kiwanis members whose generosity and hope for the future made the building a possibility. Further, it reaffirms the belief of Kiwanis everywhere that our organization stands on the firm-est of footings unselfish service to the men, women and children of the communities in which we live: The new building is construct-ed of masonry, marble, structu-ral metal and glass. It was de-signed to express the spirit of Kiwanis and to provide the best possible facilities for service to Kiwanis clubs and their mem-bers. It represents the fourth home office which Kiwanis has occupied in Chicago. The building consists of three levels. It fronts on Erie Street, a half block west of Chicago's "Magnificent Mile." A ground-lev- el landscaped court and park-ing area share the rear portion of the property. The new struc-ture stands on a site formerly occupied by the home of the late Anita McCormick Blaine, the granddaughter of the. inventor of the reaper. The new building is air condi-tioned throughout, fitted with modern lighting equipment, and light, movable metal partition-ing. In the reception foyer is a 35 foot curved mosaic mural de-picting Kiwanis' community service work. This is executed in Venetian tile. In front of the mosaic is a halo-lighte- d map of the North American' continent (Kiwanis current field of op-erations) with numerical lights indicating the scope of Kiwanis outreach. A beautifuly appointed Past President's room, a board room paneled in curly California red wood, men's and women's rooms and a small accommodation em-ployee's lunchroom are also fea-tures of the new building. Moss Backs Lamb Producers Program The opposition of Utah lamb producers to the federal lamb grading program was voiced on the floor of the U. S. Senate re-cently by Senator Frank "Ted" Moss. The Utah Democrat called the attention of the Senate to a con-ference on lamb grading called for April 17 by the Agricultural Marketing Service. The confer-ence will consider growing com-plaints at grading practices. "It is the contention of many of the sheep growers of my state and the nation that federal grad-ing practices have not been suf-ficiently improved to keep up with marketing practices and are resulting in unreasonable profits for the middleman at the expense of the producer," said Senator Moss. ' "It Is the belief of producers that they are actually prevented from producing the type of lamb which woul appeal most to the housewife consumer by arbitrary grade standards of the govern-ment grading service," he said. Included in Senator Moss's re-marks were excerpts from a speech given by Dor Clyde of Utah and a resolution of the National Wool Growers Associa-tion. Mr. Clyde, retiring Presi-dent of the Association, spoke against the lamb grading pro-gram before the last National Wool Growers Convention at Portland, Oregon. The resolution which requests the Secretary of Agriculture to, terminate imme-diately Federal Grading of lamb, was passed at the same meeting. Demo Congressman 1 Says Letter Supports Lead-Zin- c Charges Rep. David S. King of Utah Thursday said he has received from an American Mining Con-gress leader a letter which fully confirms the charge which the congressman laid before the ad-ministration two weeks ago that the president's lead-zin- c im-port quotas have failed to help the lead-zin- c industry. The letter, from C. E. Schwab, chairman of the American Min-ing Congress' Emergency Lead-Zin- c Committee, advised Mr. King that "after six months of quotas, the U. S. mining indus-try has remained very severely depressed . . . for all practical purposes, the beneficial effect of the president's proclamation is nil . , . " In a March 26 conference with Fred A. Seaton, secretary of the Interior, Mr. King urged the ad-ministration to tighten the lead-zin- c import quotas. The congressman called atten-tion to the fact that the quotas failed to cover many refined and semi-refine- d forms of lead and zinc which continue to pour i into the nation's stockpiles from foreign sources. Mr. Seaton assured Mr. King and three midwestern congress-men who also participated in the conference that the admin-istration would thoroughly con-sider the proposal to tighten the quotas. Mr. Schwab told Mr. , King the industry remains severly de-pressed from "the standpoint of production .employment, and prices, and the U. S. domestic smelters continue to be forced to accumulate inventories of well over 200,000 tons of each metal. Reasonable stockpiles, he said, would be about 70,000 tons. Safety Is Keynote Of 4-- H Project Safety is in the driver's seat as the 4-- H tractor program rides into its 15th year of activity, ac- - cording to Utah Oil Refining Co., sponsor of the 4-- H awards in Utah and Idaho. The program is conducted by Extension Service, Utah State University of Agri-culture. More than 175 Utah ers are enrolled in the program. To-gether with their local leaders and county extension agents they are striving to reduce fatal trac-tor accidents which last year across the nation numbered al-- most 1200. Another 48,000 acci-dents resulting from improper use of tractors were reported. Besides safe operation, club members learn efficient opera-tion and maintenance under the guidance of extension training. As a matter of fact, success in the project means money in the bank to 4-- H boys and girl who follow the advice of tractor experts. Properly maintained tractors cost "an average of $100 to $300 less per operating year," a re-cent university survey pointed out. So the tractor project also becomes a family affair because it affects the family pocketbook. In the course of their work club members pass along to neighbors the up to date practices learned about using farm machinery.
