Last Friday night La Fiesta and YER
non camps united in a trolley party to
Whittier, having chartered a special
| car for that purpose. Almost IL not
quite one hundred members availed
themselves of the opportunity to visit
a sister camp and most enjoyable
| evening was spent both on the part
| of the guests and also the hosts. The
orchestra Of La Fiesta camp contrib
uted several high-class selections. The
| genial clerk of Vernon camp, T. H.
| Chapman, sang several pleasing solos
and Clerk Bailey on behalf of Whittier
camp delivered an address of welcome,
which for sincerity was worth going
miles to hear. On behalf of the guests
Past Head Consul John H. Foley re-
sponded, and after complimenting
Whittier camp and its members for
the splendid work done and for the
| character of entertainment offered on
| this occasion exhorted the members to
continued activity in the interests of
the order. Fred Pfennig, the vaude-
| vile performer of La Fiesta camp, also
delighted the members.

ment many good speakers told of
| Woodcraft and its doingS and then
Whittier camp treated it's guests to a
sumptuous repast.
Eastlake camp No. $50 held election
Of officers last Tuesday night and a
splendid membership was in attend
ance. G. B. Briefly and Charles Let's,
! two war horses of the camp, were
| elected to the offices of consul COM
mander and adviser lieutenant, re-
spectively. This camp. has something
up it's sleeve to spring in the near
future and has promised a substantial
growth of membership during the sum-
mer months.
! On Sunday, June 7, all the camps
and circles In the city will hold Mem
| orial day services at eSe various ceme-
| teries, meeting at the gates leading
| thereto promptly at 10 o'clock a. m.
| This is one of the most beautiful cere-
| monies in the orders, and the members
usually attend in large numbers to
decorate the graves and unveil the
recently erected monuments of their
deceased members. There are over 200
| graves to be thus remembered in the
| following cemeteries: RoSedale. Ever
green, Catholic. Jewish and Odd Fell
lows. The work this year has been
paired by the various camps and cir
cles in the city.
The camps and circles of the city
of Los Angeles have decided to hold
picnic under the auspices of Wood
craft at Playa del Rey June 20. A
great deal of interest is being mani
Tested in this movement as these pic
MICS have afforded an opportunity for
respite from work, and a general good
time Is always had. There will be
f1fteen-minute schedule all day, and
opportunities afforded at Playa del
Rey for athletic sports, boating, bath
ing and dancing. The members are
expected to bring their lunches, but
II they don't no inconvenience will be
suffered, as meals will be served at the
cafe at popular prices.
There will be a spirited baseball con-
test between the teams of La Fiesta
and Eastlake camps, and there will be
great deal OF friendly rivalry exhib-
tied. The camps will back their re-
interest is being waged on the out
come.
The general picnic committee of the
twelfth district has co-operated with
the city camps and circles to the ex-
tent of inviting all of the outlying
camps and circles to participate in
this picnic, so that a grand time is as
sured.
Another big success was added to
the long list of successful entertain
ments given by Vernon camp 751 last
Monday night. The Herald said two
weeks ago that it was the inten-
tion of the promoters of this enter
tainment to try and please every one
present on that occasion, and we are
very much pleased to announce that
success crowned our efforts. The pro-
gram as announced last week was al
most carried out In it's entirety. Neigh
Dor e. j. Lewis. one of the sweet sing
ers of Vernon camp, was called from
the city and will be away for two
months, so that Is the reason for his
non-appearance. We are able to relate
the unusual occurrence of every one
taking part in a program being en-
cored. AS a rule there are some who
are little bit better than others, but
at this event every one met with a
grand reception, and only one extra
turn was allowed each artist. Mrs. Nell
son, pianist, was the first on the pro-
gram. She gave a fine selection of
patriotic airs, which was greatly en-
joyed by the large audience present.
Mrs. e. j. Lewis followed with two
songs. Mrs. Lewis possesses a full,
clear and sweet soprano voice, and the
members of the camp never consider a
program complete unless they are al
lowed to hear her sing. Harry Chap
man played his one-string fiddle. H.
Borton was in form with his negro
impersonations. Miss Helen Kolath
gave several selections on the piano
which were greatly appreciated. John
Ritchie sang 1.-THE Skipper" Mr..
Ritchie is too well known for any re-
marks to be necessary. Likewise with
r. A. Douglas. who rendered selections
from comic OPERA assisted by Miss
Lucille Douglas. His encore was inn
mense being an imitation of a cornet
made with his mouth and hands only.
Little Master Kolath surprised every
one present. He stood forward and
sang his songs like a past master of
the art. Cooper Culver, public reader
and reciter was simply grand. He can
hold and amuse any audience. We will
now take the opportunity of thanking
these friends and neighbors of Vernon
camp for their great and kind assist
ance in making the first part of the
program success. Following the olio
the comedy farce, THE Living Statue.
