outgrowth -of the Kinsmen
club.

As time went on, the associa-
tions were put on a more
formal level. The result was
"Senators" "Paskins", "PP.
40" and .. K.4O..
The various names are still
iri use but K-40 is generally
used to describe the move-
ment. '
The movement was making
itself evident as far back as

ton. Soon, clubs sprang up in
Vancouver; Kelolvna, Calgary,
Brandon and Winnipeg.
Today, there are some 180
K-40 clubs with new clubs

At the same time as K-40
developed, so did the K-Ettes.
