chairman in place of Dr. Chas John-
son, who prepared a program, but was
called away on account of the seri-
ous illness of a patient.
Several members discussed various
objects of Kiwanis International, Rev. I
Eugene McCouley giving a thorough
discussion of two objects i “To <nve
primacy to the human and spiritual
rather than to the material value of
life,” and “To encourage the daily
living of the Golden Rule in all hu-
man relationships.”
Another of the objects, “To pro-
mote the adoption and the applica-
tion of higher social, business, and
professional standards,” was ably
handled by Raymond . P. King, and
Lee M. Moody spoke concerning “the'
development by precept and example,]
a more intelligent, aggressive and
serviceable citizenship.” Paul Gallia
closed the program with a talk on
‘ Co operation in creating and main-
taining that sound public opinion and
high idealism which make possible the
increase of righteousness, justice,
patriotism, and good will.”
C. D. (Dun) Laverty was welcomed
as a new member of the club. The
only guest at the luncheon was W.

‘ Austin, Texas, Jan. 21.—A “silent”
plea for clemency was filed here dur-
ing the inaugural of “Ma” Ferguson
by Sylvester Montbalano of Hous-
ton, at liberty under a ninety-day
parole granted by Lieutenant-gover-
nor Lynch Davidson. Montbalano’s
parole will end Jan. 23 when he will
either have to go back to prison or
remain under clemency with his wife
and the nine little Montbalano’s.
