The Ladies' Aid the helpful auxiliary of our
Order, Is deserving of our earnest and uHdi-
vided attention. Their jealous and reVsrent
efforts in the past and present have rendered
a service which should command the distin-
guished recognition of the brothers of the Di-
vision. 1t is urged that Camps render every
possible assistance to the officers in extending
the growth of this loyal and valuable organize
ton. The ladies which constitute it are de-
voted and selfsacrifcing for our interests.

The brothers of the above mentioned Camps

The Commander regrets the announcement
of the great loss to Capt. w. II. Humphrey
Camp Sc, Essex Junction, by the late Ere,
which destroyed all the Camp property. to-
gether with charter and books. The Camp
will soon secure new quarters. and new
charter will be issued; such assistance will be
rendered by Headquarters as will be needed to
place the Camp in condition to resume their
duties.
1t is gratifying to your Commander TO give
notice that the unsettled condition of Camps
49, of Burlington and %, of Barre which has
for some time seriously impaired their influence
heretofore existing in the Division, has been
smicaby adjusted and settled.
1t is desi red at this time 10 impress upon the
Camp officers the necessity of prOmptness in
conducting the business with thess Head
quarters. Quarterly rep rts should be made
out on the last meeting night of the quarter
and forwarded Immediately, accompanied by
the per capita tax. We were met by large
loss from suspension during the quarter ending
Sept. 80 as will be seen by the consolidated re-
port 1t is hoped that Camp officers will use
all due diligence to the end that We may regain
the great loss by the reinstatement of the sus-
pended brothers, so that at the end of the pres
ent quarter We shall have our full force in line.
If possible comply with all the requirements
of our Constitution, Rules and Regulations and
more especially promptness in forwarding
quarterly reports.
