When the first letter was received we
looked upon 1t rather lightly, but the
second one made a decided change in
our attitude. and we believed the
writer's meant business.
The member who discussed the affair
with a Star reporter said the letters were
read in the meetings of the lodge and
that those who heard them displayed a
deep interest in their contents.
