~ Golden state camp No.
n = Milo, M. w. A., was not in
f5.he news last Sunday. The
HW\/ANiello that is responsible
WNfIAA/for the ordinary news from
AS< this camp has not been able
to get himself together for
ordinary work of this kind since read
irg the extraordinary writeup of the
camp published in The Herald of De-
cember Z. But the traces" being over
and the contestants having been
sponged and rubbed down by their
hackers have again taken to their FEED
all right and are working nicely to-
gether for creditable work for the camp
for the coming year.
The first and most important thing
now before the camp is the opening of
the new hall in the Temple of Art 7S0
South Grand avenue, on the evening
of December 80 The committee hav-
ing the matter in charge is busy max
ing the final arrangements, and every
thing that is necessary for an impress
sive opening and a good time for all
who attend will be done. The writer
has not received a copy of the pro-
gram for the evening as yet, but II is
given out that National Lecturer j. o.
Davis and State Deputy Head Consul
H. V. Rees will be star attractions on
that occasion.
On Inc night oL DbCelubtI OF TIC
camp will hold a class adoption, at
which about 100 new members for
Golden State camp will be adopted into
the mysteries of the order. Other
camps participating may bring the
number I'D to 200 or more. The state
deputy and national lecturer will at
tend.
District Deputy ]. o. Burgess. the
best deputy in California, will attend
the first meetings of the camp at the
new hall and will be master of cere-
monies at the joint installation of the
officers of this camp and of Sunny
South camp No. 1903, r. N. A, at the
new hall on the night Of January IL,
1909. The regular order of the meet
ings for the first two weeks has been
reversed, making the first Wednesday
night the business meeting night, and
the second, the social meeting night.
The installation of the officers of both
camps. lilo, NJ. w. A, and 1908, r. N.
A, viii be held on the night OF the
social meeting and will be open to the
public.
AS the article reporting the election
of Golden State camp was crowded
out of the Sunday issue into the issue
of the following day, many of the
neighbors failed to see 1t, and it would
be of interest to many of the members
who cannot get to camp and who failed
to see the report for a list of the Off
cers-elect to be given here. They are
as follows: J. A. Myers, consul; w. H.
Taggart, advisor; ]. 1. Taylor, clerk;
A. B. Copper, banker; R. S. Carroth-
ers, escort; N. o. Hosler, Waterman;
Claude johnson, sentry; c. w. Allen,
F. w. Bassett, J. C. Lindsay, A. F.
Zimmerman and A. ]. Berry, physi-
clans; j. A. Herbelin and A. j. Berry,
managers.
The ovation given by the members
when the names of the present consul
F. L. Reynolds, and clerk, ]. I. Taylor
were presented to the camp for re-
election, will be a fond recollection tc
both of them as long as they live
Neighbor Reynolds spoke very feeling
" in appreciation of the kindly feeling
so spontaneously shown for him, hut
declined to be a candidate, saying that
he wished to step aside for his OLD
friend, John A. Myers, who was en-
titled to the place. This left the field
open for Neighbor Myers, and he was
unanimously elected.
