Sum‘mer Is Here Local Newspapers Offer Communities Much to Agreeiate Kiwanis Convention Dis cusses Crime, Traffic Safety “The most unsuccessful newspa per in the United States does more for fithe support ,of its community than the finest community ever does for the support of ' its news- Pwm..-‘ ~-:._._.-~u ,-. _. _. Such was the statement made today by Karl Lehmann, of Taxares, Fla., publicity chairman for Xi wanis International, to convention delegates. He explained that the value of Kiwania news is to educate a community in the service organ ization's civic and welfare programs. "The newspaper,” he said, “re fleets all community life, religious. educational and ‘civic. Therefore the‘ average citizen is indebted to his newspaper ‘_ which constantly brings to him the news of local. state. national and international at tairs.' ’ Frees” “Every civic, religious and . educa tional group in a city is in the habit of coming to the newspaper pub iisher, asking him to give away free the one commodity he has for sale. This is space! We would ask of no other form of business, in our com munity to give away free that which gives a livelihood. We. would not go into a bakery and ask the baker to give us a loaf of his bread. Yet the newspaper owner is asked to give away the space he has tosell: perhaps not realizing that this com modity, like any other merchandise, costs money to produce.” he said. Kiwanis does not need to sellit-I self to its own members nor does it need to seek publicity to glorify its work. Mr. Lehmann estimated. Ki wanis publicity must be really edu cational. » J. K.

The idea or hold :‘ng a public contest to select a name has been considered, but due to lack ‘0! time it was abandoned, and inas much as two members of the local ipark board are out of town, the re imaining member (duly prompted) has determined to supply a name. For course the name is'subject to change without notice. but in the 'meantime, for local publicity pur poses the name has been selected. ‘ Appropriately an Indian name was chosen. A nice, easily spelled, easily pronounced. easily under stood name which has all the ear marks of being the prtper one.
