SLOW and In order to awaken an interest
in the patriotic orders in the Anthracite
regions, Mr.. Sanger conceived the idea of
bringing the two most prominent orders,
the Jr. o. y. A. NJ. and the p. o. S. of A,
together annually to hold monster cele-
bration. He drew up set of resolutions to
that effect, presented them to his council
and had permission to present his ideas to
the sister Councils and Camps in the
region;the result was the fourth successful
demonstration held on Labor Day in Mt.
Carmel, it being held in Shenandoah, St.
Clair Mahanoy City and Schuylkill
Hayep respectively.
Since that time Jennings Council has
grown from Is members to nearly 400, be-
| ing the banner Council in the Middle Dis
| trict. Fourteen new Councils have been
| instituted in Schuylkill county and the
| order has been put on a very healthy foot
| ing Mr.. Sanger, although only 25 years
of age, is one of the most prominent and
popular members of the order in the An
thracite regions, and in close connection
with the State officers places him in the
role of the recognized leader. His election
at Lancaster is practically assured having
not only the solid backing of the Councils
| in the Meade District but also that of the
present Board of State officers. If he /,
| elected it will be the first victory the lowel
| coal regions have won, having repeatedly
| made their claim for recognition but be
| ing just as often turned down.
