This decision fol- lowed a debate on the need of eivic clubs held by the Kiwanians at their regular weekly meeting at the Bur- ritt hotel today. The decision was somewhat in the nature of a joke, inasmuch as the debaters on that side were complet- ly swamped by arguments used by the affirmative side. The joke of the meeting was a fake radio outfit in charge of Paul Lucas, announcer for WTIC. The outfit consisted of a microphone and supplementary telephone placed on the speakers’ table, with a fake hookup. Mr. Lucas acted the an- , ouncements with the result of com- ! pletely deceiving members, 8o thor- oughly were "the speakers misled that Attorney Edward A. Mag, onc of the debaters, approached the “mike” and in his most eloquent tones began “Countless number of the unseen audience. The first speaker was Past Pr dent J. M. Ward.

He 1eceived some Britain newspapers a “high brow literature” and the porters as “hounds of the press, cxpresston used here one time by volitician who does not like news- papers. He explained his attitude by carefully pointing out that in his hoyhood days he had attained his literary tdeals from patent medicirin pamphlets. He argued that not read- ing modern newspapers, his only way of kecping abreast of the time is when he hears current topics ex- vlained in civic club mectings. Dr. Ahlquist’s talk was of & scri- ous nature and contajned a long list of things the club has accomplished. It was acknowledged that he had an @u»mumuuo»mmmwlpmwn his point.
