This is the thirteenth volume of "Kiwanis Activities" sum- marizing the officially reported activities of all the Kiwanis clubs in the United States and Canada during the year 1934. The com- pilation was made possible by utilizing the Official Monthly Reports recording activities as reported by the club secretaries.
At the close of 1934 there were 1,839 clubs, according to the membership records as of December 31, 1934, and nearly all were carrying on civic and welfare programs.
The Objects of Kiwanis International have made possible these numerous achievements recorded in this present book. These 0 bj ects are :
To give primacy to the human and spiritual rather than to the material values of life.
To encourage the daily living of the Golden Rule m all human relationships.
To promote the adoption and the application of higher social business and professional standards.
To develop, by precept and example, a more intelli- gent, aggressive and serviceable citizenship.
To provide through Kiwanis clubs, a practical means to form enduring friendships, to render altruistic service, and to build better communities.
To co-operate in creating and maintaining that sound public opinion and high idealism which make possible the increase of righteousness, justice, patriotism, and good-will.

Suggestions for Your Own Club
Kiw ANIS ACTIVITIES is a summary of the community betterment and service activities of Kiwanis clubs in the United States and Canada. The book is compiled annually from the Official Monthly Reports submitted by clubs.
The activities indicate the many varied and practical applications of the ideals, and objectives of Kiwanis International, and suggest opportunities of similar service for other communities, institutions,
groups and individuals. ·
The book is not an honor-roll of clubs.
Ithas been compiled as a descriptive presentation of diversified service endeavors.
How to Use the Book
KIWANIS ACTIVITIES is suggestive of what can be done in all communities by active clubs. Every club, large or small, seeking sug- gestions for community service can find in this volume sources of information on every conceivable kind of activity.
The key which unlocks the treasure of this book for clubs is the index on the final pages. There appear over forty general divisions of activities, which direct the reader to pages of thousands of records of actual club work.
Clubs which have made surveys of their own communities and are planning new or additional service activities, can review the results o · f clubs in towns of somewhat the same type and population. · Clubs seeking suggestions may be located in either agricultural or industrial areas, or in vicinities of both farming and manufacturing.
For a club in an agricultural region, the index will indicate hundreds of valuable activities in better town and country relations work, in city beautiful planning, health campaigns, conservation and general education.
Ifa club functions in a community where all forms of general economic enterprise are in operation, a vast store-house of material is suggested by such index topics as health and sanitation, boys' and girls' work, improvement of civic conditions, aid to business and industry, and many others.
A careful study of Kiw ANIS ACTIVITIES by members will reveal to them many clubs of about the same size, in localities having similar opportunities and problems, engaged in active and varied service programs.
Every Kiwanian is urged to make a thorough inspection of KIWANIS ACTIVITIES to familiarize himself with the summary of service work of all the clubs in Kiwanis International.
