Akron tent held regular review last
Monday night, with large attendance.
There can not be a doubt that 1t must
mean something to be Maccabee, for
how otherwise can we account for the
great enthusiasm shown by the Sir
Knights of Akron tent, for instance
last Monday night, being one of the
coldest of the season, and with all that,
the tent can boast Of an attendance of
over 175 of its members at an ordinary
review. 1t is an honor to the tent and
Sir knights for the unselfish zeal that
they display in the interest of Macca-
beeism. The workers presented some
nine applications for membership. The
tent approved six applications and in
ltiated eight candidates in the myster-
les of the order. The captain of the
team requests the presence of that
body for initiatory work Monday night.
AS are also all Sir knights requested to
attend Monday nights regular review.
