A splendid program, including vocal selections by Mr. Samuel Goodman and a talk by Postmaster John L. Miller, featured the Friday evening meeting of the Kiwanis Club of Concord.
Only a few business matters were brought before the club, the chief one being in regard to the erection of signs on the highways entering Concord. Charley Smart, Will Foil and Albert Palmer were appointed as a committee to raise the necessary funds and have the signs erected, the committee having power to act. They were instructed to have the signs erected before Fair Week.
On October 19th at the meeting of the club, the members will entertain Governor Morrison of Nort5h Carolina, and there is also a possibility of having Gov. McLeod of South Carolina. It was voted unanimously that the club invite the Rotary Club to hold its meeting with the Kiwanians on that day, the joint meeting to be held at 6 o’clock, and to which the Kiwanians and Rotarians may bring their wives and lady friends.
The vocal selections by Mr. Goodman with accompaniments by Miss Nell Herring, were most enjoyable, and the Kiwanians expressed their keen appreciation of the treat by their repeated encores. Mr. Goodman’s voice was in splendid form, and his singing was greatly enjoyed by is hearers.
Postmaster Miller in his talk emphasized the partnership between the post office and the citizens of this city. It is put there by the government, of which each citizen is a part. It should be the aim of every person to help expedite the work of the post office in every way possible, and the post office is there, to render the very best service in its power to the public. The Post Office department of the United States is one of the largest businesses conducted by the government, the volume of business transacted by it running into the billions of dollars.
The postmaster then went into an instructive talk on the different kinds of first class postage, special delivery mail, registered mail, and parcel post, with explanations about the preparation of parcel post packages for mailing.
The mailing of matter all through the day was urged by Mr. Miller, as this is a means by which the post office employees will be enabled to handle the volume of business more expeditiously. There are rush hours at the office, the same as in any business (line obscured) habit of mailing their matter at various times during the day, instead of a rush at the closing evening hour, the congestion would be relieved.
The attendance prize, given by Team NO. 6, Clarence Barrier, captain, was drawn by Brevard Harris. The silent boost was given by Clarence Barrier.
The club with its meeting on Friday evening began the first of its twice-a-month meetings, which will be held on the first and third Fridays in each month in the future. The next meeting of the club will be during Fair Week, October 19th.
