was discharged. Nearly four years

1t has frequently been said that
no city of Its size in this section OF
the country has more lodges, clubs,
societies, and similar organizations
than has Newport News.
The past year has been one In
which the different organizations
have done much good and the men,
hers have cause to felicitate them
selves on the achievements and pro-
sress made, and while congratula-
tions are in order it Is well not to
forget those men and women who
have made possible the success and
good which have obtained.
For the growth and prosperity
which have attended the different or
ders all the members are entitled to
4 share Of the credit The loyalty
of the rank and file of those enlisted
in the cause of the different lodges
and societies has never been ques-
toned, but after all has been said
and done it will not be denied that
the work of extending the principles
for which all are contending and of
furthering at all times the best in
terests of the organizations has de-
yeloped upon the few.
This is true of societies every
where. 1t has been true of every
movement designed for the better
ment of humanity since time began
and no doubt the handful of workers
will continue to do the work that
the many may be benefited until the
end of time.
These linen and women, few in
number in every community, have

nngrudgingly that their favorite or
der might live and prosper. Wi,
them it has been a labor of love.
with no thought of reward other than
the consciousness of duty we'll per-

have been rendered thus unselfishly
it does not follow that they should
go entirely unrewarded.
