OHIO.
w. s. Turrell, Acting First Sergeant, Hold
croft Camp 49S, Broadwel, o.: think the
Order of Sons of Veterans could be made
great deal better Order than il is. think that il
should be made beneficial Order. My reason
for this assertion is that the majority of members
are young men, between the ages of Is and
80 years, and not liable TO sickness as much as
men who are older, and therefore the rate of
taxation need not be SO large.
/ also think the Order ought to have three.
degree work, to- make it more interesting; be-
cause l often hear members say, The work of
the Order is not interesting enough" and when
members of an organization cease to have any
interest in the organization, as a matter of
course it will go down, and the only remedy for
this evil is to get up something that is inter-
esting.
There has been some talk lately that it would
be good idea to consolidate the GAR. and 8.
of V. Orders, but there are many in the GAR.
who do not wish this. Now / think that the
two Orders ought to be consolidated, or let the
Sons of Veterans be ad mitted to the meetings of
the GAR. Posts in the same manner that the
Grand Army men are admitted to the Sons of
Veterans meetings. or keep the members of
the GAR. out altogether. because there is no
other Order in the United States, or in the
world for that matter. that admits as guests of
their Order person who has not been duly
initiated.
