Kiwanis Club In 'Share Your Life' Program A new program of personal involvement on the part of Kiwanis members called Share Your Life will get underway immediately in North Webster, Milford and Syracuse, according to Jerry L. Badskey, president of the Kiwanis club of Lakeland. The program will call, specifically, for personal action by Kiwanis members in the fields of service, the home, association with others, recreation and exploration . . aspects of life suggested by the letters composing the world “share,” which is a part of the program’s name. Jerry L. Badskey pointed out “that mutual effort on the part of all segments of society — sharing — is absolutely essential in a world like ours.” He said that the Share Your Life concept is not confined to Kiwanian and Kiwanis clubs alone. “Rather,” he said, “it is the hope of Kiwanis that the ideal of sharing will extend to everyone within the community.” The new program was adopted by Kiwanis International members at the organization’s 57th annual convention in Atlantic City last June. It envisions Kiwanians working with young people and older people alike, to the mutual benefit of all, according to the Kiwanis president. The first order of business on the Share Your Life program, the president said, will be each Kiwanian sharing each day in his activities — through work, service, home, association, recreation, and exploration. “As Lakeland Kiwanis club we will be working in the areas of Youth Services including scouting and 4-H, Adult and Elderly Programs plus working with the problems of the Environment and Drug Abuse,” said Badskey.

Shearer Fiets .•• ByCARLSHEARER It’s a fact that . . . “idiot” comes from a Greek word which originally meant “the man who did not vote”. The May issue of “Hie New Age Magazine” relates: “A recent study shows the voting habits of these groups: Tavern Keepers 99 per cent; Gamtriers and Employees 97y 4 per cent; Women’s Civic Club Members 64 per cent; Protestant Laymen 29 per cent; Masons 26 per cent; and Protestant Ministers 16 per cent.” There are some excellent Christian men and women running for County and State offices this year. And there are some running who fail to assume their Church responsibilities or who have no Christian witness. It’s time church people sorted out these office seekers on the basis of their Christian principles, personal character, etc. The Christian should vote and his vote should be an informed vote. We invite you to the Milford Christian Church to worship and praise God.
