TO INITIATE FIFTY.

Richmond Council, knights of Col
umbus, is in Flourishing Condition.
Richmond Council, Knights of Col
umbus, will hold its regular meeting
Thursday night. This promises to be
one of the banner meetings of the
council, as fifty candidates will be
initiated into the first degree. On
June 10 last sixty new candidates
were put through the first degree and
fifty more candidates coming in only
one month later is said to break rec
ords in fraternal circles in this bor-
ough. The formal transfer of. the
property recently secured for build
ing their new house will also be made
at this meeting. There are now al
most 500 members of the order in
this borough and the upbuilding of
the council is largely due to the eff
forts of Grand Knight Frank o. Dris-
coll, Past Grand Knight Charles J..
Mccormack and James e. Mulligan,
John w. Widdecombe, T. j. Curley
and Henry j.. Kaufman. Another
reason for the success of the council
is the social session held after each
meeting. A fine program is being
arranged by Grand Knight Driscoll
for the meeting this week.
