This was one of the many items which gave food for thought in a talk given by Kiwanian H. W. McCune at the regular meeting of the club held Monday evening at the Forrest Hotel. Kiwanian was the McCune speaker at an anniversary week meeting of the club. Kiwanis was organized 33 years ago at Detroit and Kiwanis clubs all over the continent are this week celebrating anniversary week.

President E. Ronald Shaw presented some business matters of the club. In his talk, Kiwanian McCune, past president of the Nephi club and past Lieutenant Governor of the Southern Utah division of the Utah-Idah- o district, gave a brief history of Kiwanis International and told of its founding in Detroit. He pointed out whet Kiwanis has accomplished, pointing out especially that friendships and fellowships which have originated in Kiwanis have been among the most enduring. Relative to values of Kiwanis. the speaker quoted from an article President hy past International Ben Dean: "The most precious things in life cannot be weighed or measured. Who can appraise the inocence of a child, the love of a mother, the loyor the glow of alty of a friend a sunset, or the stars at midnight? And who can measure the services which Kiwanians have poured forth during these three decades; the twisted limbs of little children made straight, the undernourished bodies made strong in summer camps, the wayward lads turned back into paths of good citizenship by the kindly counsel of understanding men, the uglv city dumps that have boon turned into parks and playgrounds, the communities steeped in lethargy which have been awakened and revitalized by dynamic leadership? . . Truly these Kiwanis years have yielded a rich harvest of human and spiritual values."
