SUCCESSFUL KIWANIAN MEETING, DESPITE JINX Fifteen Kiwanians of Anaheim today know that Friday, the 13th, is a "hoo-doo day." Five of the 15, especially. The party of 15 went down to Pasadena last night to greet the new trustee-elect of Kiwanis International, Leslie Henry. The dinner was notable, with 350 present and a governor and two district governors, besides Trustee Henry, speaking. It took the quintet in the unfortunate car three punctures to get home. The car was President A. B. McCord's Hudson. The first puncture came within a few blocks of the hotel, and they arrived on a flat fire. McCord thought it couldn't happen again, so he told the hotel attendant that he needn't bother to have the tire repaired. On the way back, near La Mirada the second puncture came. In order to fix it up one car was driven out into the field and the lights allowed to play on the disabled machine. This brought interesting developments. Oil workers going on the late night shift were sure there had been an accident, and one man, who already had passed them several times was sure they were trying to hold him up, when they signalled to him for aid. Harry Horn and Henry Adams managed to glue a patch on the tube finally and Roscoe Young and Art Cohen took turns pumping up the tire. About four miles from the city came another puncture, and Charley Mann had to drive into town to his garage to get a new labe. It took the party from 10:30 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. to get home. The party consisted of Henry Adams, William T. Wallop, Harry I., Horn, Ed Rundstrom, Art Cohen, President A. E. McCord, J. A. Clayes, Gus Theodore, William Grafton, H. L. Turton, Tom Lumadon, Charley Mann, Vic Loly, Hugh Grant and Roscoe Young. A splendid musical entertainment was given by the hosts the entertainers being a colored quartet and an orchestra. An interesting stunt was pulled off at the speakers' table. "Why isn't this table decorated?" called the toastmaster to the attendants. Thereupon several boxes were brought to the table, each of which bore a letter, W-E B-U-I-L-D. Then a button was pressed, the lids came down and a chain of balloons floated into the air, spelling W-E-L-O-M-E. Trustee Henry in his speech declared that the club had now 76,000 members. Outlining the policies of Kiwanis International, he declared that the club took neither a pro-west nor pro-dry stand, but stood for law enforcement. The club favored the setting aside by the Federal government of a fund proportionate to population to be used with other school funds for education. The club opposed the exemption of certain bonds from taxation, believing this an injustice. Governor William Brown of Pasadena, formerly of San Francisco, counseled the individual clubs to have objectives and to plan their work according to them. Lieutenant Governor Heber Winder of Riverside used most of his speaking time in eulogizing Henry. Lieutenant Governor Jack White of Long Beach declared himself at the service of the clubs whenever they needed his aid.
