KNIGHTS OF THE
MACCABEES

<JM Sir Knights and ladies of
~ w EA the order should be CEN
&FH/A\ MA tered in the approaching
4ff2M election of officers for the
E13fa ensuing term. In many of
EH4k693pNlE# the tents and hives the
SeHkSsSst9H33&$ election of officers is the
&sFRt&% occasion of the largest at
tendance during the year,
as a result of personal solicitation on the
part of some candidate for office. Many
of these members have not, in all prob--
ability, set foot in the lodge since the
preceding election and are there for the
purpose OF supporting the candidacy of
some personal friend or good fellow.
This is unjust to the member himself
and to the order at large, as no person
should vote for an officer simply on ac-
count of feeling of friendship. These
societies are large corporations and in
the election of their officers the question
of efficiency should be the chief consid-
Grafton In selecting officers for the
different positions the choice should be
made OF those vino have the time, ability
and inclination to fill the offices to which
they are elected. 1t too often happens
that members are very anxious to be
elected to an office and after they have
received that honor they seem to forget
that 1T is their duty to attend regularly
and do all in their power to promote
the welfare OIL Ine Ofuer.
The duties of officers can be summed
up in the following: To faithfully and
conscientiously administer the affairs of
the lodge; to guard its finances; to labor
for it's advancement and to encourage by
their example a spirit of harmony and
good fellowship.
They should at all times remember
that they are servants of the lodge and
trustees for their fellow members; they

that they owe their official station to
the vote of the members and should
never conduct themselves in manner
to indicate that they consider themselves
superior to the power that made them.

Miss Daisy Danvers during the past
year has been editing a monthly publi-
cation known as The Sunbeam. The
magazine was originally intended to pro-
mote the interest of royal hive No. 40,
but it met with such general favor that
she has decided to enlarge it's size to
sixteen pages and extend it's usefulness
so as to embrace items of interest to all
the tents and hives in the city. Tho
November number has just been issued
We wish, CHER success in her new under
taking.

The many friends of Mrs. M. V. Fisher
past commander of Redondo hive, will
be panied to learn that she is not re-
covering as rapidly as was hoped. Mrs.
Fisher had a stroke of paralysis about

leave her bed since. There is no person
connected with the ladies of the Macca-

Mrs Fisher, she having been a charter
member of Redondo hive and very
active worker in promoting the interest
of the ladies of the Maccabees.
