COL W. w. Wheeler In Division Orders
again calls the attention Of Connecticut bret
rem to the necessity Of doing some earnest work
by regaining suspesd ed members and bringing
in new recruits. Hesays: 1T rests with each
and every brother whether tho next report
shows gain or loss; with the weakest Camp
IS well as the strongest. whether the Connecti-
cut Division will advance or fall back. Now
is the time to show your zeal and patriotism
fer tho Order"
The Adjutants report for tho quarter ended
Sept. 80 shows loss in Connecticut. At the
date OF the previous report q Camps with .
membership of TO were In good standing.
Seventeen members were gained by muster,
one by transfer. AID II by reinstatement. One
WAS lost by death. two by honorable discha rye,
and As by suspension, leaving q Camps aad

Orrin J. Dckey. Mastering Officer of Maine,
Belfast. writes: Having become known to the
Sons as an advocate of longer terms for officers,
and believing that legislation on the subject
will soon be passed. want to call tho attention
Of members to the necessity of selecting good
officers for the coming year. Every member
should be very careful in casting his ballot.
The time has long passed when the pro.
noting of brother from Office to office was the
custom. and the election is now as il should he.
when a man holding minor office stands just
as much chance OF being Captain rs he who
wears tue rank straps Of a Lieutenant. Our
best officers are not necessarily those who have
belonged to the Order longest, neither are they
ones who have dono much in the past, but
these who take up the Office with the feeling
that tho life of the Camp or Di vision rests upon
their shoulders men who will give up personal
pleasures in order to devote their attention to
their society he il Camp or Division.
