THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

the first post-war convention of Indiana Kiwanis club more than 1000 Kiwanians are expected to make a noise here. But noise won't be the only ‘thing members of Kiwanis plan to make here during the convention for their motto 13 “We Build.” Arrangements fo)’ the convention, the 29th of the Indiana district, are being made by a committee ‘of which George Leist of Columbus is chairman. ’ Other ‘Members Committee members include 8i Meemstra of Bluffton, Ivor Robinson of Boonville, and Ralph Moc~ Reynolds of Evansville. The Indi|anapdlis club’s host committee ds headed by Ernest Barr. Hamilton Holt of Macon, Ga., president. of Kiwanis International, will give the headline address. Others on , thé program jnclude

The story of The. Butlders” goes back to August, 1914. A profes sion#l organizer, .Allen 8. Browne, paid a visit to Joseph G. Prance, & merchant tailor of Detroit, and sold him on the idea of an organization of business and professional men into a fraternal elub ‘with sick Lbenefits. . The idea was diviloped. ; and by Jan. 21, 1015, the Kiwanis club-had received a charter from the secretary of state of Michigan. Clarence M. Burton, historian of Detroit, is responsible for the name, Kiwanis, which he explained megnt. “We Trade.” Later examination of the word, however, showed the meaning came nearer to “We Make a Noise” “We Have a Good Time." Form National Club The national Kiwanis club was organized in Cleveland in May, 1916. By that time Kiwanis clubs had been organized in Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Rochester, Columbus and Lockhart, N.Y, The idea of "Kiwanis was growing and more clubs were under way.

At the time ot ‘the Detroit convention in May, 1017, there were 55 clubs. Kiwanis International was organized Nov..1, 1916, whén the Hamilton : - Ontario) ‘club was formed, . Four of the w clubs in 1917 were in Indiana—Indianapolis, Lafayette, South Bend and Elkhart. At pres ent there are 83 clubs in Indiana, and the Indianapolis club is the second largest in Kiwanis International with a membership of 310. "Motto Is Adopted The motto, “We Build,” adopted at the midwinter meeting of officers and trustées of Kiwanis International in Chicago, on -Jan. Almost to the day, 10 years later, the motto, “We Build,” was per-

or |petuated by Indiana Kiwanis clubs

when the Kiwanis wing was dedicated at Riley Memorial hospital, Jan. 9, 1930. ' The wing, constructed at a cost of $165,411.79, is ‘a 50-bed unit devoted to orthopedics for underprivileged children, Since it was put into operation, more than 10,« 000 children. from every county in bthe state have received treatment.
