The camps of the city

kTTa the general campaign for
Fhff4 a new members and the
NKOM 7 outlook is very encourage
NJ M ing for the securing by
[gy&Wgflr majority of the camps of
@o4alS a set each of the official
Officers jewels. These jewels are of
new design and decidedly handsome,
and are given by the head camp to
every camp in the jurisdiction adding
twenty-five new names to it's enroll
ment by January 1. The offer covers
period of sixty days In addition to
this, solid gold emblematic bouton-
Mere is given to each individual bring
ing into the order one new member.
The respective camps do not by any
means intend to leave off with the In
crease stated, but will continue with
the good work until the number is null
tiplied many times. With the present
efficient corps of organizers continuing
I'm the field, the general membership OF
the camps of Southern California
should reach large proportions soon.
Carnation camp at Redondo Beach
held an interesting meeting Tuesday
night, the hall being well filled with
neighbors from the home and outside
camps. Fremont camp was repre-
sented by seventeen members. The oc-
casion was the initiation of class OF
Twelve CdIlOludleS, II Itlllpill OlllNN''
and team performing the work. After
the ceremony of introduction, several
neighbors were called upon for brief
talks, followed by District Organizer
George II. Stretch in one of his char
acteristic well-rounded, pleasing and
instructive addresses. Then last of
all came the good things provided in
the banquet room, which held the
neighbers until the hour for home
going. Altogether. the evening was a
pleasant and interesting one TO all
present The candidates initiated rep
resent about one-third Of the number
of applications secured by Organizer
Ed Holland during the past month,
record Of which any organizer may
well be proud. Previous to recently
taking UP the work on the organiza-
tion force, Neghbor Hollands was
known as a Woodmen booster and
application-Eetter of no mean ability,
and that he fully deserved this reputa-
tion is attested by his recent accom-
plishment at Redondo Beach and also
by service rendered to Santa Monica
camp while there for limited time
San Pedro is waking up to Its pos
sibilties and has requested that one or
the organizers give a portion OF his
time to the upbuildlng of the camp. Or
ganizer William Stretch, brother To the
district organizer has been detailed
to do special work for the camp. which
means that new life will be instilled
into the camp and the membership IN
creased very materially Under the
new conditions prevailing at San Pedro
and it's growing Importance as a COM
mercial city good sized camp of the
Woodmen OF the World should be
maintained, which will unquestlonably
be the case if Neighbor Stretch or
some other equally efficient organizer
is allowed the requisite time to ac-
complish the result
Fremont camp met as usual Thurs
day night, initiating two candidates
out of a list of a dozen or more ap-
plications submitted in the past three
weeks. the remainder to participate in
the ceremony of introduction at the
next or following meeting. At the
conclusion of the initiatory work the
camp adjourned to social entertain
ment, including a number of clever
sleight -of-hand tricks by Professor
Richards of San Francisco, after which
the card tables were brought ort and
whist played until the losers in the
various games thought it about time
to go to their respective homes Among
the visitors to the camp was Charles
u. Brierley, past consul commander OF
Eastlake camp who responded most
interestingly to a request for remarks
