Youth Service Committee Report To the 11embers, Kiwanis Club of ottawa:
Gentlemen:
The work of the Kiwanis Club of ottawa in 1950 is now merely history.
During the year gone by our members participated in the traditional community enterprises and new and worthwhile endeavours were under- taken by the Club. The heretofore good financial position both as to current and welfare account has been maintained if not improved ¥ .... We tried to make the luncheon T{leetings pleasant and meaningful to the membership. It is our endeavour throughout the year to promote
Kiwanis fellowship both as between our members as well as our wives and families. There was no r adical departure in the set-up of our club, board and committee me6tings, and much worthwhile discussion took place and much important business was apministered.
There were several new ventures undertaken, namely, National Kids !
Day which was an unqualified success, and the bazaar which was also highly successful, not only from the point of view of the financial gain, but also from the point of view of the fellowship as between the women themselves and as between nillny men who helped out .
Our attendance record of 80 .9%, I believe is an all time high. Too much credit cannot be given the attendance, program and music com- mittees which made this possible.
The adnunistration for 1951 is a particularly strong one and our whole club looks forward to a year of even greater activity, a year replete , . with fine work in all phase s of community endeavour and a year of mighty building in Kiwanis.
Yours in Kiwanis,
A. H. LiE\ff, President, 1950.

The matter of appointing the five Trustees was then considered ¥ .. Roy Kennedy read the original recommendation made by the Special Committee appointed for that purpose in 1945 as follows: "Five Trustees shall be appointed; two by the Past Presidents; one by the Board of Directors and two by the members at large. Roy suggested that the two members to be nominated by the members should be selected before any others were appoint- ed. He, therefore, moved that Harry Anscombe and Dune Longmire be nominated. Stan Higman said he was afraid that if two Past Presidents were nominated by the General 1,leeting, other Past Presidents might be selected which might result in f our Past Prosidents being Trustees. He also said that, in view of the order in which the appointments were mentioned in the orig- inal recommendation, this order should be adhered to. In view of this, Roy Kennedy was asked to withdraw his motion which he consented to do.
Moved by Stan Seconded by Harry Ansc ombe, TR4T the Board shall nom- inate one trustee, then the Past Presidents shall nominate two trustees, after which these noninations shall be announced at a general meeting of the Club to be held as early as possible at which time the final two trustees shall be appointed.

Moved by Stan Higman, Seconded by Cec Burgess, THAT the $200.00 be don- ated to the Public School Hilk Fund. MarION NOT CARRIED
Hal Craig spoke on this and said he recalled that the Com- mittee had considered the advisability of continuing this contribution and that he felt there was still some question as to their making a favourable recommendation in the coming year. Moved by Dunc Longmire, Seconded by John Delavignette, THAT the 1949 re- .. commendation re a donation of $200.00 to the Public School Milk Fund be ... referred to the youth Service Committee for their consideration. MOTION CARRIED
Stan Higman said he felt something should be done to improve the present system of conducting the Club elections. Moved by Harry Anscombe, Seconded by Ray Linnen, THAT the Elections Com- mittee be appointed early in the year so that they may meet and bring in a recommendation as soon as possible re the elections. MarION CAFIRIED
Roy Kennedy suggested that it would have been better had the actual expendituresfor the past year been shown beside the 1950 budget.
Moved by Roy Kennedy, Seconded by John Delavignette, THAT the actual 1950 expenditures shall be shown beside the 1951 budget in the next Annual Report. MOTION CARRIED Immediate Past President Charlie expressed his appreciation to all those responsible for the preparation of the Annual Report.
On motion the meeting adjourned.

¥ To the President and Members, l.iwanis Club of Ottawa:
I have pleasure in presenting a report for the above Coramittee for 1950.
One of the highlights of the work of this Comraittee in 1950 was the Junior Farmers Luncheon held on 10th. At that time four (4) Junior Farmers, Scobie .. iggins I Bob Caldwell, Delmer Spratt and Bill iJhalen} to- gether with Dave Adanw, Assistant to Bill Croskery, took part in a Panel Discussion. The undersigned acted as kaster of Ceremonies and asked the Members of the Panel questions which had to do mainly with problems of current interest. The programme was very well received by our llembers and some fifty (50) Junior Farmers who were present as our guests.
On October 27th we had as our guest speaker Dr . C. Hope, a prominent district farmer and economist wi th the Canadian :?'ederation of ture. The theme of his talk was "The Importance of the .Tarmer in our National Economy" ...is the subject implies, the main purpose of the talk was to bring home to our Members the important part that Agriculture plays in Canada. Clubs throughout the country all have and Conservation Committees but in the predominantly urban clubs these Com- mi ttees are often relegate::l. to a minor role. Dr. Hope I s task was to bring home to our i£mbers the many reasons why we should take an active inter- est in Agriculture even though most of our Members have no direct con- nection with the farm.
Boys Girls Calf Club hork...:.. Again it was our pleasure to present $howmanship Halters to the various

In 1936 our Club donated a Trophy for annual competition in the Inter- club Calf Competitions at the Ottawa }l'air. This year the 'I'ro,.tlly was won by the Renfrew Beef Calf Club and was presented by our President, H. Lieff, K. C. The members of the team, Jean LvicGregor and Brant Horest of Douglas I Ontario and halph IvIiller of Glasgow Station , received miniatures of the cup.
In conclusion may I say that our work in 1950 was mainly concerned with .Junior }'armers and we believe that this is a field in which our Club should specialize in the future. The Panel Discu5sion in which the Junior Farmers participated was without a doubt a great success and would bear repeating.

In the early months of 1950 there was a change in the Commanding Officers of our Squadron occasioned by Bob Pickup1s being moved from Ottawa by his firm. The leadership of the Squadron was accepted by F/L Ted Anderson who has had considerable experience with Air Cadet Activities .
During the month of it was possible to take a party of 25 of our Air to Montreal for a week- end. The boys were transported, fed and housed by the Royal Canadian Air Force . On the Saturday evening they took in a professional hockey game between the Chicago Blackhawks and the Montreal Canadiens (the tickets for this event were the only expense in- curred by the Squadron for the entire week-end) .
As is customary, the Annual Cadet Inspection was held on P2.rliament Hill at which our Squadron were creditably represented.
Our Squadron this year enjoyed a very unique distinction in Air Cadet ---- circles, in having two of our cadets accepted for entrance to the Ser- vices Colleges, F/S Joseph Lackner and W/O Gordon Kilger entered Royal Roads Service College in British Columbia this fall. It is ¥ to stress that these two boys are receiving their first year in college under Air Cadet League Scholarships which are each valued at $600.00 and are given by interested persons and firms from all parts of Canada. As there had not been any scholarship funds donated from Ottawa, it was necessary for the Air Cadet League to have two of them transferred from Montreal to make available to Lackner and Kilger. The two scholarships transferred were from C. Taylor, no stranger to Kiwanis activ- itie s and from Hr . Harry Bronfman .
In addition to the honour bestowed on our Squadron by the two cadets entering Service College, a further distinction came our way when of our Air Cadets, Sgt. Syms , Sgt . Mort. Lightstone and Sgt. Doug. McDonnell passed their examinations and qualified for Flying Training Scholarships which are provided through the Royal Canadian Air Force and the Royal Canadian Flying Clubs . That these boys were successful in their flying waE evidenced at a I'lings Ceremony held at the Kiwanis Club meeting of December 1st. when A/V/M F. R. }uller presented them with their Air Cadet Wings .
A party of Air Cadets enjoyed two weeks at SUJJUller camp under the guid- ance of F/L Anderson and froITI all accounts, this was one of the best summer camps yet held.
This f 2.11, the rviinister of National Defence authorized a 50% increase in enrollment of Air Cadets and we are pleased to advise that the strength of our Squadron is increasing in a satisfactory manner.
The members of this Committee wish to extend their appreciation to all who have contributed to the work of the Committee in 1950.
Respectfully subJ1litted, ..

To the President and Hembers, Kiwanis Club of Ottawa:
The following Kiwanians of the Attendance Conlliuttee for 1950 wish to submit the report of their activities:
Chaim..an - Bill Iegere Vice - Jim Bennett Director - Frank Astley Secretary - IAfally Powell
Dick Bowden I'like Hullally áTOM Cooke Frank Patterson frank Courtney Phil Perkins George Hickman Dick Olmsted CaI!lIIlie Howard Jack Tattersall Al Eerrikin Bob Turnbull
Through a plan suggested a few years ago your Attendance Committee had all new members join in their work. This to be for a period of three months, but it was found that any new member joining the "Club that came with the Attendance Conmrittee was happy to stay with them. Through this means, your Attendance Committee acquired some very fine members .
In 1950, the Club had 48 members with 100% attendance, and of the members joining the Club in the year, we had six of them obtaining 100% for the time they were in the Club.
We give you below monthly percentages for the year: January ...... 85 .5 July ...... 71.74 February .. . . . 86.8 August ...... 77.5 Harch ...... 85.5 September ..... 79.45 April ...... 84 .3 October ...... 80 , JI!.iay ...... 79.35 November ...... 88.02 June ...... 72.16 December ...... 80 .5 The above gives us a yearly perc3ntage of 80. 9, against 77.1 for 1949, 70.5 for 1948 and 70,3 for 1947. Special Attendance Contests were run by your Committee for the months of April and November and it is interesting to note the April Contest had a lower than previous average percentage but the Fovember Contest gave the Club the best percentage they had f or the whole year.
Definite credit should be given our Music Comnuttee for their special sing- ing commercials in considering the improvement of attendance in 1950.
Definite steps were followed by your Conmrittee in 150 for the improvement of Attendance, starting by t he review of poor attenders for the second half of 1949, reconllilendation to the Board for their suspension, along with some of the following listed actions being taken: A follow-up card was nailed to everyone missing a meeting.
Hembers missing meetings were contacted by members of our Committee . Action was taken as outlined Under Section 11 of Article V of the Club By-laws.
New Members were properly educated to the importance of attendance by joining the Attendance Committee . Page 13
Report of the Attendance ComDittee 2.
List showing members percentage, starting with the poorest percentage at the top was sent out through the year. Personal attention was given members with poor attendance, which helped to improve and retain them in the Club.
The members of this Committee Jom your Chairman in expressing their thanks to Director Frank Astley, Jim Bennett for the considerable work he undertook of recording attendcnce, mailing out follow-up cards, etc., and to vJally Powell in compiling the :minutes.
Fro11 the attendance we had at our meetings they apparently were enjoyed by all members, as it was seldon that VJe had any more than one or two missing a meeting.
sincere thanks goes to President Abe Lieff for the privilege and pleasure gained in working with him and for the experience of attending Director Meetings.
Respectfully submitted.

At the request of the Boar d of Directors, the current Elections Conmittee was formed early in 1950 when they undertook a review of the Club ' s election procedure, t ogether with consideration of and proposed changes conrrnencing with the report of the 1947 Elections Committee. It wa s found that all had been implemented with the exception of a suggestion that a pre-election questionnaire go to the membe rship to ensure that all those whose names appeared on the Primary Ballot would me.ke themselves avail able t hr oughout the elections. This idea had been considered byyour 1949 Board and rejected because it was felt that I:le.ny membe rs might not allow their na1:1e s t o stand through sheer r.lodesty, whereas if an individual knew t hat a nunlber of membe rs were supporting his election , he might be more likel y t o accept the nomination . As a notion had been passed at t he Annual Mee ting, this pr oposal was given further c2.reful consider ation when yo ur Elect i ons COr:lIlittee supported the decision of the 1949 Board, despite t he r eRlization that a considerable burden of telephone follow-up would have t o be undertaken a s in the past . While we be lieve our present electi on pr ocedure t o be basice>. lly sound, your Committee communicat ed vJit h t he O. Q. H. District Office in C'.ll effort t o obtain det2.ils of the El ection By-L2.HS of other Clubs i n the Gold Division. The further suggestion was made to t he District t hat they might consider establishing st andar d election pr ocedures throughout the District so that each Club would conform to the 1I 0ne best way, 11 This matter is having the consideration of the District but it Hill be some time befor e any positive action is likely. Some t hought was given the Election Instruction Sheet s with the possibility of general simplification . Howe ver, a review of past years indicated that spoiled ballot s were so few that t he present me t hod must be satisfactory and t he i nstructions clearl y understoo d. Authorities in the business IDB chine field have been consulted in an effort to develop some t abulating De.chine method of ballot counting. In the interests of secrecy, it was felt that the names of the :t:lenbers could be coded and a tremendous saving in time could be effected. The result of this investigation disclosed that whilst part of our ballot counting could be so pr ocessed, the transfer of votes which is inherent i n our method pr esented ;m insurmountable problem. Several r,leetings were held t o consider these me.tters culminating in the traditional ballot counting mee tings at which the Comnlittee spent many hours in ácareful comput e>. tion and for which their Chairman expresses his grateful appreci ati on . On the Primary Ballot, the r esults were a s follow s: Ball ots r eturned ¥¥.¥¥¥...¥.¥.¥¥ 146 Ballots spoiled, Pr esident..... 2 .. Vice - Pr esident 2 Directors..... 1 Tradition r equires the Chairman of t he Elections Comnlittee t o cont act the members nonlinat ed on t he Primar y Ballot t his wor k occupied some four days and evenings with t elegr ams sent 2.S far away as Cal gary and cablegr ams t o Be rmuda . As usual, f or various valid r easons, members were not abl e t o allow their names to stand on the Final Ballot . This condition is the ma j or problem in our current election procedure where t he weighted ballot can only r eflect t he wishes of the membe rship at l ar ge when the members who are nominated e. llow their names t o appear on t he Final Ballot. It may be t hat the ingenuity of future Elections Committees find some solution f or this problem, Page 11 Elections Committee 2 . With r eference t o the office of President, while the requirements of the By-Law s were observed rigidly, only one member 2.1lowed his name to stand which resulted in an election by acclamation. On the Final Ballot, the returns were as f ollows: Ballot s ret ume d ¥¥..¥..¥..¥¥¥.¥¥¥ 161 Ballots spoiled, 0 Directors .....¥¥ 1 It will be noted that membership participation in the voting is approximately 80% . While every effort should be made to improve the number of members participating in the election of our administration, by civic standards this is a most cOmflendable performance . As required by the By- Le.ws, your Elections Committee will preserve a record of the standing of all noDinees so t hat should a vacancy occur on t he Board during the year, the nc.lne of the next highe st cendid2.te can be furnished promptly. Without participating in our complex election procedure, it is difficult t o visualize the tremendous ,mount of work done by the members of this Committee . A.s Chairnan, I express my sincere appreciation f or their keen intere st, unvarying fe.irne ss and meticulous attention to every detail in handling the vote, As en ex- officio member of the Conmittee, President Abe rendered signal service and the Committee joins with r,le in thanking him . These remarks respectfully submitted. "Charlie" Charles Everett Chairmcm . Committ ee Harry AnscoTilbe Dunc Longmire Ed Haughton Cliff Ray Linnen Roger 14ebber. Page 12 ...

Having chartered Key Clubs at ottawa Technical and Commerce High Schools in December 1949, your Committee decided early this year on a policy to consolidate our position and concentrate on the development of these two Clubs rather than one of expansion. The wisdom of this decision became very apparent as the year pr ogr essed. Our experience showed that to successfully organize and keep in operation a Key Club requires continued advice and counsel.

COPY OF IETTER FROM TECHNIC/.L HIGH SCHOOL Mr. Jack vv . Hall, c/o London Life Insurance, 202 Queen Street, ottawa , Ont . Dear J:vIr. Hall: .H.S principal of the Ottawe. Technical High School, I wish to express to you my appreciation of the work done in the school by our Key Club . I am fully aware of the fact that you and your comnuttee did a great deal of work and spent much time in sponsoring the formation of this club, and for that I extend my thanks. When the club was formed, I did not expect a great deal from it dur- ing the first year. However, the boys have exceeded my expectations and, in my opinion, have shown that this club is a real asset to the school. The officers and membe rs have been most co-operative and eager t o assist . They gave their services freely in several projects, and have made a real contribution to the progress of our school. They have kept clearly the idea of service as their main duty, and have willingly undertaken several service programs and ce.rried them to successful conclusions. I also appreciate the interest in, and assist ance given to our Club by the Ottnwa Kiwnnis Club, cmd wish to extend to the Ttlembe rs our grateful thanks. Yours sincerely, (Sgnd. ) E.D. Hendry, Prine COPY OF LETTER FROM HIGH SCHOOL OF Dear Jack:- At this, the end of the first ye2.r of activity for the COmnlerce Key Club , I would like to sny how much I think the Key Club has meD.!1t to the boys who have been nembe rs of that or ganize.tion. In spite of the fact that they were small in number, with the consequent loading of responsibilities on too few shoulders, I feel t hat these boys have had n wonderful experience in or gcmization work and train- ing to take responsibility_ I feel, t oo , that they have learned something of the meaning of and the way in which they have "sparked" drives for toys and dolls f or orphans at Christmas, f or Winnipeg Flood Relief, etc., has been a real revelation to mo . Then, also, the feeling of fellowship, of belonging, that each of these membe rs of the Key Club seems :'0 have acquired is something very worthwhile . May I, in closing .¥ extend to you my sincere C'.ppreciation for all you have done on behalf of the High School of Comme rce Key Club. Yours sincerely, . (Sgnd. ) J. B. Speers, Prine J:vIr . J. W.

In addition to the routine request for interpretation of by-laws and consideration of contracts, maiiy on behalf of the Ways and Means the big job of the year was the consideration and development of a declaration of trust for holding funds donated t o the Club in trust or transferred from the Club to this account. Many drafts were considered and meetings were held with authorities of the tax department and then, after the agreement was settled and filed, the Parliament of Canada decided to change the Income Tax Act and it became necessary t o ste.rt allover again ¥. 1I. new Declaration of Trust was dre.wn, executed and filed with the Tax authorities but in view of the Income Tax Act as it now reads it is impossible to state in whether or not donations to this fund will be de- ductible from income tax C.s charitable donations until the end of each year and its activities are considered and investigated. To further the hope that donations t o the fund will be exempt (insofar as it is possible to forecast) the Trust Agreement provides that don- ations from the fund shall only be made to such charitable organiz- ations as the Board of Directors of the Club designates and which are exempt from taxation under the Income Tax Act . All of which is respectfully submitted. "Orian" Or ian E.B. Low Chairman Committee Director - Abe Lieff Chairman - Orian Low Ed. Haughton, Gec. Pearson Roy Kennedy Geo .

To the President and Hembe rs, The Kiwanis Club of Ottawa. Committee - The promotion of National Ki ds ' Day activities in ott.awa, Ont ario, in 1950, WeS under t he direction of an inter- club committee, the membe r s of which were appointed by the three clubs concerned and we re acting with t he authority of the directors of the three clubs. The presidents of the three clubs ,'-Je re active members of the interclub cOllunittee. The chairman of the interclub committee was Vw. Charles H. Hulse who has had a l ong and distinguished career in the Kiwanis organization. He was an international Vice- president in 1947 and 1948. Program - After a tentative progr am was set up by the inter- club committee for National Kids ! Day, enquiries throughout the city disclosed that the TIen of the Ottawa Fire Department and the Athletic Club of. the University of ott e.wa , had pl ans under way for act ivities on the same day, t hat is, Sept. 23rd, Accordingly the pr ogr am of t he Kiwanis Club to fit in with the pr ogr ams of the firemen and This co- or dination of activities worked out very well and was a TIajor f actor in making the day a complete success from the point of view of participation by children and yo ung people as well as making known to t he entire community the ob jectives of National Kids I Day . Publicity - Newspaper s gave strong support t o t he day1s activ- ities. Radi o stations made f requent spot announcement s 2nd news casts leading up t o Septembe r 23rd, on Septembe r 23rd and i mmedi ately f ollowing Sept embe r 23rd. Favourable announcements were made of the day 1s event s in gr ade schools, in high schools, in universities, i n some churches and at all mee tings of t he three Kiwani s Club s . Costs - The t ot al cost of t he day 1 s activities was $700.00 mostly due t o technical assi stance, l abour and meal service . Thousands of dollars worth of service and accommo dation were provided free . There were no fund r aising activities of any kind. Results - 20 thousand children and young people we re entertained, as f ollows: Pl a ce Activi ty j,ttendance Morning 12 nei ghbourhood Movies 10,000 gr ade t heatres school child- ren. 30 Ki- wC'.nians .

We be lieve some improvement could be nade in the art work of pub- licity material and that gr eat er use mi ght be made of national ad- vertising media such as post age me ter st amps , The question of fund raising versus opportunities for per sonal ser- vice should be given consideration and decisions forwarded thr ough district and club officers well ahead of time as these decisions will dictat e the type of pr ogr am , Perhaps arrangements can be made to publicize Na,tional Kids ' Day on national Canadi an r adio shows . better coverage could be al so obtained t hr ough Associated Press, United Press, International News Service, and Canadian Press, with an inter national follow up story based on returns from t he hundreds of cities participating, It is recognized that some of these r ecommendations involve additional expense and, therefore, it is imperative to reach an agreement as to how t o cover expense , .'

Your Programme Committee for 1950 endeavoured t o pr ovide a weekly f are which would be interesting, informative and entertaining. Towards this end we received continual support and wholehearted co- operation from President Abe , Director Charlie Wright, the Chairmen of the various committees and the entire membe rship of the Club. With the increasing weekly participation of the Music Committee, arrangements were Dade during the year to hold j oint meetings of the two committees. This provided a most satisfact ory 2. rrc-.ngement end was essential f or t he integr ation of the activities of the committees. In general, your committee carried on a pattern developed over the past few years. Efforts were directed towards the pr ovisi on of a var- iety of progr ammes so that the varied interests of the Membe rs would be accoL@odated. One pr ogr amme in particular might be considered worthy of continuance . The visit of the t een- age gr oup from Kansas City prov- ided a stimulating programme i n August and an opportunity of fostering international good vrill. The Conmittee had t he opportunity of assisting directly in the de- velopment of the South Ottawa Kiwani s Club. During April, May and June we had the responsibility of providing the f or the new Club as well as assisting i n the organizati on of the Pr ogr amme Committee. The Westboro Kiwani s Club áassisted in this by providing the progr amme f or three of the meetings.

Duties of Committee At the first meeting of this committee he ld on January 12, 1950 a general discussion took place in connection with the duties of the committee and the following references were reviewed: a. Monograph for 1950 - This monograph for the guidance of Public Relations Committees was examined in detail and discussed. It was considered an excellent guide and reference. b. 1949 Report of Public Relations Committee - Copies of this re- port had been sent to all comnuttee members previously for review. Recommendations made in it were considered for attention during 1950. Meetings of Cornmittee Bi-monthly meetings were held during the year 1950. Public Attitude The committee feels that in general the work of our Club is known through- out the city and district and that t he attitude of the public is favourable. During 1950 the following factors contributed to the development of satis- factory relations with the public: a. Press relations were well maintained and with only one important exception Club meetings were well reported, sometimes with photo- graphs. b. Activities of committees were reported but not as completely as desirable. Committee activities such as the Youth Service Com- mittee, the Agricultural Committee, the Key Club Committee the National Kids! Day Committee resulted in significant and favourable public reaction. c. The work of the Music Committee was important to the maintenance of a favourable attitude of Club members towards Club meetings and towards the Club as a group. The work of this committee goes far beyond the Glub membership and contributes to an import- ant degree towards extending a favourable attitude on the part of the public towards the Club. d. Local radio stations were co-operative and made known to the radio audience the activities of the Club. e. The editors of both K-Ray and Kiwanis fBgazines accepted material sent to them and references to our Club were made in both these magazines at different times throughout the year. Work of Committee a. Kiwanis Signs - The problem of road signs for the service clubs in ottawa was discussed by the Central Council of Ser- vice Clubs and it is understood t hat eE',ch club will in future look after its own road signs. This question will need further attention during 1951. b. Scrap Book - The maintenance of a scrap book was considered during the year but no action taken beoause of uncertainty as to its value commensurate with the work involved in maintaining it. Page 41 Public Relations Committee 2. c . Publicizing Activities of - This problem was discussed at every meeting through- out the year and action taken but further action is required and is recomraended further in this report . d. South ottawa Club - This committee assisted in the formation of the South ottawa Club and took an important part in organizing the Charter Night for the South ottawa Club . e . 35th Anniversary of Kiwanis - During the year attempts were nade to use the 35th anniversary of Kiwanis International in connection with various publicity re- leases. f . Kiwanis l'fmgazine V.[eek - The decision of Kiwanis International to sponsor a Kiwanis V.tagazine vleek each year was made known to the members of our Club by this at the regular Club meeting held on loth. It is understood that this Kiwanis Magazine Week will be observed annually in order to emphasize the place the magazine occupies in the life and work ::. of Kivlanis . g. Automobile License Plate Reflectors - Several dozen of these reflectors were obtained and sold to members during the year. The use of these reflectors by all members of the three Kiwanis Clubs in ottawa would do much to keep the of the Club before the public 1 h. National Kids ! Day- The Chairman of this committee acted as Secretary of the Interclub Committee on National Kids! Day . Undoubtedly the observance of National Kids! Day in ottawa on September 23rd did much to attract public attention to the work of the Kiwanis Clubs and in a most favourable manner. i . Kiwanis Supplies - Consideration was given to obtaining an assortment of Kiwanis supplies to be sold to members. There are many interesting items shown in the of- ficial catalogue, such as bookends, paper weights, plaques, etc . It was thought that many of our membe rs would be interested in obtaining some of these articles, No action taken, but the subject was referred to the Direc- tors for consideration. j . Coloured Movies - The t aking of coloured movies of committee activities for record purposes and for dis- play purposes at Club and committee meetings was discussed and considered worthwhile . No opportunity was found, however, to wake a start on this activity although the Music Cormnittee ex- pressed interest in the idea . This subject should be further pursued during 1951. k. Visit of International President - The visit of Mr . Murdock to ottawa provided an op- portunity to further inform the public of ottawa and District about tho work of Kiwanis l ocally and internationally. 1 . International Convention - The resolutions adopted at the International Convention in. Miami were brought to the attention of the Club membership by this committee at a r egular Club meeting on July 21st . Page 42 Public Relations Conunittee 3. Recommendations For the guidance of the 1951 Committee , the following recomYnendations are suggested:- a . It would be helpful to have a photographer as a Club member in order to obtain more readily photographs of significant committee activities. b. It would be helpful also to have a writer as 8. Club membe r in order that such a member might undertake to write up brief stories of committee activities into acceptable news items for newspapers 2.nd Kiwanis IvIaga zines. c. At the October 27th, 1950 meeting of this cOmYllttee, it was agreed to recommend t o the Directors that the Public Relations Committee be so arranged that there would be a member of it definitely assigned as a member of each of the other main com- mittees in order to obtain adequate information ab0ut committee activities and to pass such information on t o the Club member- ship and to the public. This recommendation was forwarded t o the Directors under date of November 4th. d. Consideration should be given to the name of this committee as there is some doubt as t o the present title of "Public Re3.J?-tions." Perhaps it would be better t o use a term now being adopted by many or ganizations, that i's, "Public Inform- ation," The latter title might also help t o avoid confusion with our own Public Affairs Committee .

Page 43 REPORT OF THE RECEFTION FOR 1950 To the President and Hembers , Kiwanis Club of Ottawa:- It is my privilege to subnit, herewith, the Annual Report for the Reception Comnuttee of the Kiwanis Club of Ottawa, for the year 1950. The members of our COfiffiittee have attempted to comply at all times with the provisions of Article IX, Section 16, of the Club's By- Laws , liThe Corrunittee on reception shall greet all membero as they arrive at meetings and make arrangements for the proper reception and introduction of visiting Kiwanians and other guests. II At the beginning of the year our COITU"Jittee decided on Roger Webber IS suggestion to replace the existing postcard given for attendance to visiting Kiwanians and substitute one fea.turing the Chateat' Laurier Hotel on the front. It was felt that this was appropriate, in view of the fact that it was the location of our regula.r meeting place. The COITU".uttee decided to dispense with the blue silk ribbon badges as it was felt that this operation held up the registering of guests unnecessarily. Our thinking was that in keeping with our slogan, "Ottawa, the friendly club, II a visitor would certa:inly be made welcome as soon as he sat down and was introduced around, and, therefore, the badge denoting that he was a visitor, would hardly be necessary. To expedite the registering of guests, the Comnuttee decicted not to give postcards to visiting South ottawa Kiwanians, but rather to 'phone the names to the South Ottawa Kiwanis Club Attendance Corrunittee Chairman. Visiting Kiwanians were introduced by th€} Reception Cor.unitteo to a member , whose job it was to see that the visitor was escorted to a table and introduced to the other members present . We, in the Reception Comnittee, appreciate the co-operation we have received from the Officers and membe rs and at this time, in my cap- acity as Chairman, I would like to particularly thank Jllii ke Armand for his loyal assistance , Respectfully submitted.

At the initial meeting of this committee on January 19th, it was decided that a program similar to that carried out in 1949 would be projected and if possible there would be an enlargement of act- ivity on the sports side of the program. The following eventw were planned and implemented as follows:- 1. A social evening was held on fBrch 10th, 1950, at the Assembly Hall, Lansdowne Park. Approximately 100 Kiwanians and their wives attend- ed this dance which included favours for the ladies, refreshments, etc. This event was successful in netting $67.44 largely through the operation of a Bar. 2. On April 24th, 1950, through the generosity of Mr . Eddie Emerson the f acilities of the Copacabana Club were offered t o the Club . The Sports & Social Committee were successful in rounding up 142 Kiwanians and their wives and a very fine evening was enjoyed by all. 3. The annual Kiwanis golf tournBJ:lent was held on June 22nd, under the able chairmanship of Doug . Peacock. The tournament was played at the Gatineau Club after which refreshments and prizes were served. The South Ottawa andVlestboro Clubs were invited to t ake part in the tournament and turned out to join us, 4. During the busy Fall season the Sports & So cial Committee were successful in promoting only one event. This took the form of a Barn Dance held on October 26th at Winston Gardens. Unfortunately, there was a very small turnout due undoubtedly to other activities at this particular date . No more than fifty Kiwanians attended the party although they did have a good time. Unfortunately, the Committee lost money on this event. The Chairman of the Committee wishes at this time to express his ap- preciation and thanks t o the membe rs of the Committee Who supported the activities and gave so willingly of their time during the 195 0 season.

The activities of the Support of Churches throughout the year were inspiring and successful. The presence of President Abe and Director Charlie nt our Cormnittee luncheons, with their experience was Kiwanian the Rev. Bert Gray, when he sufficiently recuperated from his lengthy illness took the service in his Church the second Sunday that he was in the Pulpit. This service was largely attended by Ki- wanians and their wives. The Choir were hosts to Kiwanians after the service. Hon. Solon Low gave an inspiring address on the resurrection at our Easter meeting. The spirit of Kiwanis was exemplified in true Ki- wanis tradition when President Abe of the Hebrew faith sincerely thanked the speaker. At our Remembrance Day thanksgiving luncheon, Kiwanian Bert Gray gave the address. It has been the policy of the Club to have one of our own clergymen address the members each year. Our local radio stations were generous in making Kiwanis sponsored announcements regarding Church attendance on Sundays . The Wardens and Kiwnnian Rev . Terence J. Finlay of St . Johns Anglican Church we re hosts to Kiwanians at an evening service in Novembe r. Terence preached a very inspiring service. There was 'a very large turnout of Kiwanians. At this service seven different denominations were represented from our club. The luncheon of December 22nd. was with the Christmas spirit of carols, exchange of gifts and a true spirit of friendship among our membership. The effectiveness of the support of Churches Committee is surely felt in our Club. May I express my appreciation for the privilege of acting as Chairman of this committee for 1950, Respectfully submitted. Clark McLeod, Chairman. Page 47 support of Churches Committee 2 .

The lack of attendance by committee members during the first six months, brought a closing of general meetings and such matters brought forward were decided by these active cormnittee members whose interest in "Ways and Means II showed personal service . At no general committee meeting was there a fifty per cent attendance . One of the highlights of the year was the Bazaar, conducted by the" Ladies of Kiwanis under the chairmanship of Dorothy Charboneau, Besides being a financial success, the weekly get-togethers afforded a grand opportunity for the ladies to meet and enjoy the company of each other. The returns of the second year 1s activity of the Kiwanis Magazine Sub - scription Service are not available at time of writing, but it is under- stood this activity is ceC1sing after this year I s activity is complet ed. It is suggested that the incoming committee be divided into groups so that each group may be responsible for an individual activity.

JOHN FISHER Through the efforts of Buck Buchan2n , we were fortunate to have John Fisher, the vlell known C.B.C. personality, address the club at the regular luncheon meeting on November loth. His talk was timely and impre s sive ¥ LvI. C fA. The Saturday morning classes of instruction in dancing and domestic arts for girls were continued for another year by the L vi .C. A. This organization advised us that without our financial support they would be unable to hire instructors and the project would become ineffective, CHILDRENS' VILLAGE (1) The Kiwanis Club was represented at the annual meeting of this institution by Hal Craig. (2) The Christmas party, this year, was organized by Gordon Henderson. Santa was impersonated by Kiwanian Walter Vfilson and Dunc Longmire and Hal Craig were at the party Christmas morning . Four members of the Ottawa Fire Department, includ- ing Chiof Burnett enjoyed the Festivities. The children were showered with toys by the Firemen and other well-wishers. TOY REPA.IR PROJECT A $100. 00 cheque was given to the Ottawa Fire Department to help them in their outst2nding toy repairing endeavour. They completed some 6000 toys and in December called upon the service clubs to help with the toy distribution, A committee was formed comprising representatives from Ser- vice Clubs, Welfare A.gencie s and the Christrn2.s Exchange . The Kiwanis Club is represented for the coming year by Alex Bell of the South ottawa Club e.S Hal Craig is acting áas chairman of the newly formed committee. This group will act the year round. (2) The Firemen contributed beautiful reconditioned toys for our Christmas hanper project. Total value of these toys if new would have been in excess of $1000.00. We had a number of tricycles, coasters, etc., and the chil- dren in many families were made happier this year. CHRISTMAS tLUvLPERS The organization of this large undertaking was very ably handled by Kiwanian Dick Bowden - 176 hmnpers were well filled with groceries and meat then amply garnished with toys. Deliveries were made by a number of Kiwanians in their priva.te cars and a few who kindly supplied trucks and crews. Due to an outstanding job of the packing was done smo othly and quickly. Some 50 Ki- wanians assisted in the packing and the same number on delivery. Ki- wanian Frank Patterson provided his prenuses for this work, EJVlliRGENCY CASES OF NEED (1) A destitute family was discovered and aided by Kiwanian Cliff Mahoney.

Past President of the Vancouver Kiwanis Club asked us to investigate the plight of a person he felt nright be in needy circumstances. The matter was thoroughly looked into by Dunc Longmire, and we were happy to report that all was well with this person. I would like to thank the members of the club for the opportunity of working with this sincere group of men , The past year has been a fine and satisfying experience . There are many truly good people in this world, and we who are privileged to work with them are fortunate.
