In W ar and Peace Kiwanis Seek to Build and Better Says Governor H. Male Part of that lure, he said, also lies in the hearts of good men to build with their lives, monuments of service to their country, community and to others less fortunate than themselves, and their recognition that Kiwanis presents an instrument through which they may accomplish the desire of their hearts. "The Lure of Kiwanis‘" was the topic of the inspiring a,ddress delivered by W. Harold Male, K.C., Governor ‘bf Ontarioâ€"< Quebecâ€"Maritimes District. of Kiwanis International, on his. official visit on wednesday to the Tunmins «Kiwanis Club at the,u' luncheon meetmg at the Empire hotel. Governor Male, referred in opening to the way that hardâ€"driven business ana professional men ‘took time off from their many other crowded interests to join in the life of a Kiwanis Club and play a part in its partnershp of service. "Part of this lure," he said, "is that we find in our clubs places of comradeship in which as men of goodâ€" will we find escape from all the Bitterâ€" ness of business competition, religious strife or politcal differences, and in the life of our club we revel in the underâ€" standing fellowship of brethren. Never was that fellowship so important to us, as now."

Marie, Ont., to Halifax, NS., and that Governor Harold had spent a vast amount of time away from his regular work, but would give the Timâ€" mins Club some of his wealth of exâ€" perience. In concluding District Governor Male said:‘"More and more as we put our weight behind the national war effort while maintaining our peacetime serâ€" vices, as we participate in Postâ€"War Planning and Building we are known, not for ourselves, but for our service. In ‘these spacious yet tragic days, when amidst the glory and heroism, there is so and heartache, it is a privilege to be a Kiwanian because throughout clubs, it gives each of us a chance to play our part in the hard days that are upon us, and the perhaps harâ€" der days that lie ahead, and while we may feel thait there is so little we can do personally, let us consider our own personal responsibility in the life and service of our International organizaâ€" tion: Therefore, Gentlemen, let us each give our best to our own Kiwanis job, and then for us, as well as for all Kiâ€" wanis these days will prove in very tru‘t‘h to be OUR FINEST HOUR."
