LIONS CLUB IS
ORGANIZED IN WORTHAM
A new Lions Club has been
organized in Wortham through
the efforts of Rev. C. E. Rich-
ter, Dr. Fred W. Horn R.
Q. Seely and others. They
were assisted in this work by
Mi-. Hosford of Lincoln, Ne-
braska, who at the present
tiipe is a field representative of
the International Association
of Liops Clubs. A similar or-
ganization was formed during
the oil boom days but was
short lived owing to the fact
that a good percent of its mem-
bership consisted of transient
element. Very few of the origi
nal members of the old club
5 now reside in Wortham.
\ The personnel of the newly
: reorganized club consists of
prominent, representative bus
iness and professional men of
'this vicinity, men who are per-
manently located here and
have the interest and welfare
of our town at hart. At pres-
ent there are about thirty five
’ membersMtr'sthis organization
MR. , end it is hopek that the goal of
fifty will be reached in a short
time.
’ ,<* The following temporary
;i* officers have been chosen, until
a permanent organization can
be perfected which will prob-
ably some time in July. Rev
C. E. Richter, President; T.‘
Elmo Longbotham, Vice Presi-
dent; J. T. Drumwright, Sec’y-
Treas.; W. L. McAfee, Lion
Tamer;F. L. Cole, Tail Twis-
ter. The club meets for lun-
cheon each Wednesday in the
basement of the Methodist
Protestant Church at 12:15 p.
m. The ladies of the above
mentioned church are at pres-
ent feeding the Lions.
The objects of the Lions Club
are as follws: To promote the
theory and practice of the prin-
ciples of good government and
good citizenship. To take an
active interest jit} the civic,

gent men and the love of little
children; Who has filled his
niche and accomplished his
task; Who has left the world
better than he found it, wheth-
er by an improved peppy, a
perfect poem or a rescued soul ;
Who has never lacked appre-
ciation of earth’s beauty or
failed to express it; Who has
always looked for the best in
others and given the best he
had! Whose life is an inspira

welfare of the community. To
unite the members in the bonds
of friendship, good fellowship
and mutual understanding. To
provide a forum for the full
and free discussion of all pub-
lic matters of interest, partisan
politics and sectarian religion
alone excepted. Ti^encourage
efficiency and promote high
and ethical standards in busi-
ness and professions; provided
that no club shall hold out as
one of its objects financial ben-
efits to its members.
The Lions Club works in full
and hearty cooperation with
all other clubs, the Chamber
of Commerce, and other civic
and commercial organizations
It stands ready to promote any
betterment, civic, industrial, or
educational and any plans
looking toward the elimirlation
of class distinction. Another
principle of Lionism is the pro-
motion of public health, hy-
giene and sanitation, especially
' among those who need instruc-
tion and guidance in the care
and feeding of children.
» Being an organization
thoroughly loyal to our govern-
ment it is its special interest
to advance education in lan
guage, customs, ideals and gov-
ernments of our countries, es-
pecially among adults of for
eign birth.
Strict adherence to the high-
est code of ethics in business
and social relations is another
of its many good principles.
The biggest asset of any na-
tion being its people, one of the
cardinal points of Lionism is
the cultivation of a spirit of
genuine brotherhood among
men. Lionism is the Golden
Rule in actual life, resulting in
community development and
advancement ■—r the strong
helping the week.
Who is a Lion—The answer
is as follows:
He has achieved success who
has lived well; Laughed often
and loved much; Who has
