Quoted by Past Post Commander Jona-

In assuming the chair Mrs. Thomson,
who was reelected president, said: "One
year ago when you entrusted to me the
office of president, deeply appreciated
the honor, fully realizing the RESPONSE
bility laid upon me, and determined with
divine help, to the best of my ability, /
would meet all requirements. l have
freely given my time, strength and best
thought to the work. Not all has been
accomplished we hoped to do, but with
constant loyalty of few faithful ones We
have marched together and the work has
moved steadily on. In the future harvest
of earnest effort there will be fruits gath
cred, not only from what we have done,
but what we tried to do. We hope that
in the coming year the high standard of
my predecessors may not be lowered"
A short but excellent program was then
given by the SkidoO Club of young la
| dies, who sweetly sang number of Sc
lecttions, by Miss Mary Fitzgerald in a
humorous recitation, and by Prof. f. w.
Gill, who gave two fine solos. This was
followed by a camp fire presided over by
Commander Clark, who introduced a
number of Comrades, ladies of the Corps
and the guests, all of whom responded
with words of wit and good cheer for the
hosts and hostesses of the evening.
Among those who thus responded were,
| ) ID. Irwin, A. G. Brown, l.. Agnew, j.
4. Wenk, G. w. Robinson, Rev. II. A.
Bailey, T. P. Harry. j. Albangh, Prof.
F. w. Gill. Mrs. Suie NJ. Sharpe and
Mrs. G. +. Watson. And now last but
not least by any means came the ever
popular feature # these pleasant gather
ings. We refer of course to the elegant
and satisfying lunch served as only the
ladies of the Corps know how when they
have a hungry man ION their hands,"
and we know from observation and per-
sonal experience that all did ample JUS
tice to the repast. The evening, all in
all, was one of pleasure to the order
whose ranks are so notice 'bly thinning
out in the march of time, the ladies' and
their guests.
The following resolutions, which speak
for themselves, were unanimously adopt
ed by the Post and Corps:
