~ItAA4eS$ allied In that section ana
the dreams of Vernon's organizers are
coming true. 1t is live, energetic,
loyal camp of Woodmen, always doing
something to boost the order and send
ing messages of cheer, good will and
encouragement to the head camp Of
ficers.
The Labor day picnic at Playa del
Rey will not take place as previously
announced. 1t has been deemed ad-
visable to postpone the event until next
season, and this, too, after extensive
preparations had been made for what
was confidently expected to be the
largest and most successful picnic or
the season. owing to the absence
from the city of many active members,
and for other reasons, the united actloh
of all camps and circles could not be
obtained at this time. and 1t was the
consensus of opinion at the last gem
eral committee meeting that the rea-
sons were sufficient for the postpone
ment as stated.
Fremont camp initiated five candi-
dates last Thursday night and voted on
two applications, and decided to have
n camn picnic at Redondo Beaoh on
Labor day. Clerk A +. Borden was III
structed to write all the camps ana
circles to attend and have good tlrlle'
There will be no prize drill or pase-
hall games. but everybody is requested
IN 90 and take a basket of lunch, pass
the day at the seaside and become pet
ter acquainted. 1t Is expected ma
saveral thousand members OF the camps
and circles will avail themselves ry @ %
this opportunity to assemble. Ihe au
thorlties at Redondo Beach will DO an
in their power to make the DAY oile
long to be remembered. a,,,.or
