ELK BOOMERS AT PHILADELPHIA

The latest boom and boost for New
sort of pcoplc--thc local lodge OF

resident OF Newport News reads that
the members of tho Elks are going

hands OF people who are capable Of
taking care Of the hest interests Of
the city Mt every and all possible

different story to be told.
The example set by the Elks to
boost the city Mt every opportunity is
one that can we'll be emulated by
every organization in Newport News
whether II be Il fraternal, secret. labor
or religious. They all have chances
to be of aid to the city TO which they
owe their existence and ii is to he
hoped that they will walk in the foot
steps OF the men who are very aptly
called the Rest People on Earth.
