At the request of F. P. Fisher, president of the Kiwanis club, R. J. Vaughan was selected to re- view the recent Helper day cele- bratlon. The review entitled "A Kiwanian's Reminiscence of a Civic Club Preparing for a Holiday" was given by Mr. Vaughan at the Thursday luncheon meeting of the club. It will be read with interest. "As we look back now we feel that we should remember this most eventful day, not as a day of buns and beef, or kids and and' pool candy, or swimming pop, but should look upon the result from a critical and analytical point of view. From our point of view there are five phases already developed from Helper day: the psychological, civic, commercial, economic, and patriotic. Let us discuss the results In the order named. The successful psychological effect was brought about thru the numerical strength, the efficient manner of handling, the caravan, the band, the generous distribution of copies of the Helper Times, the general make-u- p of and the carrying out of the In programme by the Caravan all communities visited. The caravan was greater in numerical as well as vehicles, strength, than any other that had visited the Uintah basin or communities surrounding Helper in their existence. The result of taking the band disalong and the widespread tribution of copies of the Helper Times cannot be The music provided was . class and distinction and Jiad a most pleasing effect on everyone. The Helper Times gave all complete and detailed description of what Helper Day was for and why. And as the Caravan left the communities it left a- spirit and good-wi- ll feeling that was never ..left heretofore. It left them with a desire to come to Helper and get acquainted with Helper and its people. The civic phase of the result of Helper Day is one that concerns altogether those who belong to civic clubs and city official and business interests. We believe we can truhtfully say that our Mayor is prouder than ever that he Is the mayor of such, a progressive city The city council, we dare say, is proud of the fact that as an official body to the request they acqulsled made upon them for a contribution to carry on and put Helper Day over. The Business and Profession! ' Women, w'e can safely venture, are proud of the fact that they have a unit In our city and that as a body they took such a prominent part In putting over such an event. The part that Kiwanis played in the game of Helper Day is, of course, nothing but Kiwanis in spirit and action and ideal and on carrying out the principle which our club organisation Is founded. The commercial phase of Help er Day Is one that is important. The business interests of Helper are and will benefit by the put ting over the Helper day. From now on the truck driver from the ' . d.
