WARNS OF PANIC
His Plea Is For Sanity
And Common Sense
KANSAS CITY—A plea for san-
ity and common sense. instead of
hpStVH and panic in farm* cur-
rent problems was voiced by John
N Free attorney of Wichita. Kan* .
following his election as president
of Optimist International at the
service clubs organizations 22nd
annual convention being held here
this week.
‘America today needs optimism
as never before.'• he said. This
does not mean the foolish optimism
of the ostrich but rather the feel-
ing of courage and confidence that
we can meet any problem If we all
face it coollv and pull together"
Membership in Optimist Clubs
throughout United Slates and Can-
ada is at the highest point m the
organization's history having in-
creased from lb.000 to 12 .W> in the
past year it was reported by Rus-
sell F. Meyer secretary.
Tills increase. Meyer said ran
probablv be attributed to the pub-
lic's interest in the organizations
two objectives—promoting a spirit
of constructive optimism and as-
sisting under-privileged and delin-
quent boys. Optimist Clubs aid
about 50000 boys a year bv estab-
lishing summer camps and plav-
grounds. forming Junior Optimist
clubs and cooperating with youth- .
serving agencies such as the Boy
Scouts and Y M C A.
