Los Angeles herald., 1909-04-04

w~ AN Hill street. There is not a
WNT\kV neater, pleasanter place in
~ Los Angeles to meet, and
the neighbors realize the fact and are
coming to the meetings In large num-
bers.
The social meeting to be held next
Wednesday night under the direction
of DIR. c. w. Allen promises to be the
best that Golden State has ever given.
Any one who desires a treat in the
way of an entertainment should be
there.
Besides the regular program as ar
ranged by DIR. Allen, National Lecturer
j. o. Davis and State Deputy Head
Consul H. V. Rees will address the
meeting. After the. program and the
speech making, dancing will be in
dulged in by those who enjoy it.
The camp deputy and clerk have ar
ranged for three prizes q month to the
three members who bring in the most
new members for each month from
now until December. They are deter
mintd that that banner that is look
ing down from it's place on the wall
shall never be removed from the hall.
The members are beginning to get
busy, and from now on there will be
something doing in Golden State camp
such as there has never been done
before. Every month there will be
something new, and at the end of the
contest there will be presented to the
member doing the most for the entire
period a fine gold watch, present
from the clerk of the camp.
At the last meeting the deputy had
five candidates for adoption, and five
new applications were accepted.
Neighbor Herbelin is the right man in
the right place, and he extends great
encouragement to the members to as
sist in building up the camp. There
has never been a time in the history
of the camp when there were as many
willing workers as at the present and,
with the enthusiasm that will mark the
work of the members in the campaign
increasing from week to week, it is
bound to tell in very large increase
in membership at the end of the year.
Neighbor Robert Henry Dillehunt of
this camp died at his home at 231 West
Fiftieth street last Monday morning
Neighbor Dillehunt had been i'll for
several weeks, and until the last few
days before his death it was thought
that there was no serious danger
threatening, but of a sudden he began
sinking and passed quietly into the
beyond.
Neighbor Dillehunt had been a MEM
Der of the Modern Woodmen of
America for more than thirteen years.
He was loyal MEMBER OF the society
and never allowed himself to get in
arrears. He leaves wife, Mrs. Sarah
E. Dillehunt, and a married daughter
to mourn his loss. He also left many
friends who will feel sincere loss for
many a day on account of his depart
ure.
Neighbor Jack Duncan has so far
recovered from his illness that he has
gone to his home and thinks he will
soon be able to be at his work again.
It will be interesting to many of the
members of the camp TO know that
the record for a quick return of the
benefit due on a certificate in the Mod
ern Woodmen of America was made
In the case of Neighbor c. E. Holland,
late of this camp. He died at Long
Beacht March 10. The proofs were
sent in and the claim allowed and the
check returned on March 81. Just sew
enteen days had elapsed, and, consider
ing that the proofs went to Rock Is
land, ILL.,, and had to be considered
with several hundred other proofs, it is
likely that the high record will stand
for long time.
