his unanimous election to the head of
AlmaS Temple. He says he desires to ac-
knowledge the many kind expressions of
satisfaction manifested over his unanimous
election to the highest office within the gift
OF the temple, an organization whose mem
bershlp embraces SO many of the active q nd
prominent workers in fraternal circles and
whose fame and excellence are known
wherever the wearers of the fez are dis
persed. 1t will be his aim to show his an
probation of the honor conferred by doing
his utmost to maintain the high character
the temple has enjoyed in the past and to
see to 1t that no reproach shall be Brought
upon the order. He adds: by reason of
the location at the nations capital and the
fact that we are often called upon to en-
terrain, the opportunity of Almas is greater
than usually falls to the lot of temples of
our land, and in giving evidence of that
good Fellowship which should at all times
prevail, let us not forget that the good
name OF our organization should always
be maintained" Thanks are also returned
to the nobility of Almas for the interest
SHOWN In the Christmas distributions. both
