As The Pilot is on the press, the Kiwanis clubs of North and South Carolina are holding their annual convention at Pinehurst. The convention is a little too late to tell much of the proceedings, but it is estimated that around 500 or 600visitors are present or arriving from the various towns and cities of the two states, and the program following is under way or contemplated.

Thursday morning the formal opening of the convention took place, followed by District Governor E.W. Sikes, presiding, then came the Rev. Mr. McLeod, Aberdeen Club, Robert N. Page, Aberdeen Club; Ava M. Lumpkin, Past District Governor, followed by group meetings of Trustees C.R. Brady, Newton, presiding. Presidents C.R. Pugh, Elizabeth City, presiding. Secretaries L.L. Powers, Cheraw, presiding. Lunch at 1 o’clock, District Governor E.W. Sikes, presiding. Address, Fred C.W. Parker, International Secretary. At the afternoon session reports are forthcoming from the officers A.W. Honeycutt, J.W. Fletcher, M. Arnold Briggs, G. Trez Pressley, A. Foster McKissick, and from the various committees.
