oldest members of the order in this State.
Mrs. TraslI was made q Daughter OF Rebekah
Union Degree Lodge 33 years ago, and she
is charter member of Dorcas Lodge, which
was instituted % years ago. There is but
one other woman in the State who can say
that her length of service in the order equals
this. Tho presentation of veterans jewel,
therefore, was especially appropriate. The
charming character OF the recipient was IL
lustrated by the manner OF her acceptation OF
the testimonial from her friends and co.work-
ers in the field of helpfulness 10 others. Mr..
Trask is also veteran of distinction in Odd
Fellowship. He is now in his 5lst year of con-
tinuous membership and is a charter member
of Unity Lodge, going from Hope Lodge for
that purpose more than 20 years ago. His
worth and work has been appreciated and he
wears testimonial from his brother mem.
bers TO that effect. An honorable veterans
jewel, which can only be worn by an Odd Fcl-
low OF 30 years continuous service, adorns
his coat every time he visits the lodge. There
are but three of these jewels i'm Rhode Island.
The first one was bestowed on Past Grand
William II. Holmes of Canonicus Lodge, the
second on Past Grand James X. TraslS Of
Unity Lodge, and the third on Past Grand
Master Charles G.. Cola of Washington Lodge,
River Point. These jewels are issued by the
Sovereign Grand Lodge through the Grand
Lodge Of the State, and are numbered accord
ing 20 the time of their issuance. They are
handsome diamond studded omblems and
aside from what they signify are badges of
intrinsic value. To be able to,wear one the
odd Fellow must be at least II years of age.
After the unusually pleasant ceremony in the
lodgeroom, DIR. Tras< provided a generous
supply Of refreshments and the large number
present decided that Unity Hall was the
proper place to pass the evening.
