organzation it is therefore, right, proper and OBJ
Igatory upon every member Of the Order OF Sons
OF Veterans U.S.A., wherever lie may be, that he
turn out upon that day and assist in decorating the
graves of Union soldiers, sailors and marines. No
brother who has q just regard for his obligation

sacred by every true Son OF a Veteran, will occur
on the 3Oth day of May next and preparations for

menced by every Camp in the United States The
character of such preparations and ceremonies
must necessarily be left to the discretion OF mem
beTs OF the Order in the different localities, but
every Captain will be expected to notify every
member In good standing in his Camp to turn out
on that occasion. Let every Camp in the United
States turn outi "a body. In towns and cities hAv-
ing more than one Camp, let arrangements be
made by which ali Camps shall march together in
n body under the general command OF the ranking
officer, or OF some officer mutually agreed upon

their respective Divisions
vi Section 10 Of General Order No. 3, current
series is hereby modified in 80 far that Colonies of
mt ip rod IN
Orders the names OF suspended members mo are
in for dues. 10 has been suggested, and the
COmmaudcrin-Chief II Of the opinion that many
brothers in arrears for dues because of careless
ness and forgstlUlne5s. aud often do not receive
proper notice, aud macy such who will gladly pay
up when the matter Is called to their attention
would feel offended by the publication Of their
names in orders and be permanently lost TO the
Order; hence this modification.

ton OF X. Loebeu5tein, Colonel commanding Mis-
souri, Division, charters OF Camps are hereby re-
volSed follows: Camps Nos 8. %, AZ, 80, 63. g.
