The Ventura Democrat says: Through
the efforts of Organizer Crandall and
wife, the membership of the local Fra
ternal Brotherhood was augmented last
Monday night by the initiation or class
of twenty, andS the work Of progression
is just begun.
The ceremonies were faultlessly con-
Quoted by District Deputy Mrs. Emma
Neidig of Los Angeles, assisted by the
local official staff. During the past year
this ambitious fraternity lady has pre-
sided at the initiation of one thousand
candidates in California and Oregon.
Last nights demonstration was made
the occasion Of much feasting and mer-
ry-making and the pleasure of the eve
ming was intensified by the happy re-
marks OF the vivacious and talented dis
trict deputy.
The banquet was of the generous, de-
Nectable variety, mutely expressing vol
umes of praise for the committee In
charge.
Dancing was INDUCED in as closing
feature of a most delightful social and
fraternal evening.
The No 9 lodge of the Fraternal
brotherhood, known as the Stag" has
taken on new life during the past thirty
days and there is such a rush to get In
as to remind one of the clamor to catch
the ferry at the Oakland dock at about
1880 a. m. Friday night the reception
room was crowded almost TO suffocation
with, candidates and Havana smoke, and
as the crowds grew large the old mem
bers hung on to the fire escapes. AS this
is only the advance guard of what is
coming it may be necessary to employ
the Auditorium again before the subsi-
dence of the enthusiasm.
The reason for all this is the campaign
known as he golden rule campaign"
which, translated, reads: 'Do others as
you have been DONE" and the boys are
bringing in their friends and doing them.
In the banquet hall they were filled with
ice cream served in cantaloupes, and
every Jack man" was so well satisfied
after having eaten the dishes that he
went home determined to bring all his
good neighbors to the big banquet later,
when the lodge expects to entertain about
five hundred. To add further pleasure to
the refreshing part of the program short
addresses Were made by DR.. Haney,
Judge Albert Lee Stephens, Gilbert Car
ter, George Wilson OF Long Beach. w.
s, Montgomery and others
The second degree will be delivered to
an aspiring mSmber next Friday night.
when Senior p p. Clements band of
marauders will appear. This degree looks
fine, and certain ones say 1t looks much
better than it feels.
Chaplain Snyder is about to celebrate
his silver wedding anniversary at his
home in Pasadena. Several of his per-
sonal friends in mo. g. have received in
vitations and will probably go In o body.
mo. 81 has a password not issued by
the supreme lodge, and you don't have to
get 1t from the treasurer. 1t is ''get
busy"
