day today and it is hot and sultry,
with the humidity very high. The

Silsbee Kiwanians will observe
All-Kiwanis Week, June 15-21,
joining with the 2,137 other Ki-
wanis clubs in the United States
and Canada in a continent wide
observance stressing twenty-six
years of service achievement.
“Our members are joining with
the 113,000 other Kiwanians in the
United States and Canada to ob-
serve this occasion,” O. H. Pit-
man, club president, announced
today.
Kiwanis was founded in Detroit
on January 21, 1915 and the cele-
bration will concentrate attention
on community service results.
“We are primarily a service club
and our 113,000 Kiwanians are un-
ited to do a good job for their
communities, states and nations,”
said Mark A. Smith, Macon, Ga.,
president of Kiwanis Internation-
al, in a special bulletin to the local
club. “Service and concentration
are the keynote of today. Our times
call for self-denial, determination,
thrift and a faith that right will
win,” he said.
The program for All-Kiwanis
week is to be in charge of the Ki-
wanis education committee. The
club will take a pledge rededicat-
ing itself to the observance of Ki-
wanis principles, stressing the
building of better communities,
promotion of patriotic citizenship
and emphasizing the value of en-
during friendships.
I. F. Daniel, Chairman of the
Kiwanis education committee of
the Silsbee club, will have charge
of the program next week, accord-
ing to T. T. Taylor, program chair-
man.
The meeting Wednesday was
held at the Bluebonnet cafe club
room, the new meeting place of
the club.

They've refined them still
further . . to freeze even faster,
to run silently and to use
even less low cost electricity.
They're the thriftiest models
ever made. Arranged to pro-
vide plenty of storage space
for food bargains and left-
overs. Outside they've made
them even more beautiful. All
these added values and yet
pfices are at rock bottom.
You'll find prices in some in-
stances even lower than rec-
oad low prices of last year.

I go up at six o’clock and have
had a long day. A Matson liner
came in today about noon and we
got some mail this afternoon. We
had quite a scare this afternoon for
a radio report came from our peo-
ple on the north side of the island
and said that smoke could be seen
on the horizon and it was assumed
that four ships were headed to our
harbor. But it developed to be only
one—a small ship that operates
out of here by the navy to the var-
ious islands on a tour, and we
knew she was returning.
Friday, April 25: I went to the
naval station this morning to get
some more equipment that we
needed. I thought I would have a
letter from you today, since none
came yesterday, but no such luck.
Sunday, April 27: I was busy
yesterday and had such a big day
that I didn’t get to write, but I
thought of you just the same. After
getting up yesterday at 6 a.m. and
having breakfast I had by. Satur-
day morning inspection and lined
out my work for the coming week.
After lunch we officers who were
not on duty were invited down to
the Feleta school (a Mr. and Mrs.
Ewing, Americans) to a picnic. Af-
ter arriving there we had a nice
spread and played softball and vol-
ley ball and went swimming. At
6 p.m. we had a weiner roast on
the beach, with coffee, ice cream
and cookies. Then the native boys
at the school gave us an enter-
tainment which consisted of dances
and songs in their own native
tongue. We all had a good time
and enjoyed it very much. I am
sending you one of the programs.
Well, I will close and send this
on, with lots of love. Best regards
to all my friends,
