"a and at it's last meeting in
IfSSassssSETe the office Of the high chief
ranger, DR.. G. b. Dickson,
many of the suburban courts reported
that they were chartering special cars
to come to the city on the tenth OF
March, the date of the big class initia-
ton, when the supreme chief ranger
will be present. The supreme chief
ranger, Brother Elliott G. Stevenson of
Toronto, Canada, is now in the north
ern part of the state and his coming
visit to Southern California has aroused
the enthusiasm of the city Foresters TO
a high pitch. Every Forester is ex-
pected to be present in Blanchard hall
on March 10 and should make his plans
accordingly.
One of the big events of the week was
the meeting of the Companion assem-
bly, in Walkers auditorium. There was
a record breaking crowd present, SO
much so that two large halls were uttl-
lied. Companion Lizzie Dempsey as
chairman of the evening provided an
excellent program as follows: Com
panion Franklin, the president Of the
assembly, gave an address Of welcome;
America" was sung by the vast audi
ence in honor of the day being Lin
coins birthday, every Forester being
enthusiastically patriotic. Companion

manner, and Miss Lou Ethel Austin
sang and danced very profciently. The
high chief ranger and Brother Hand
both addressed the audience, after
which many applications for member
ship were received. Cards and dancing
concluded an evening of unalloyed en-
joyment. Companion Gould of Court
Occident was chairman of the hospi-
tality committee, and was ably assisted
by the officers Of companion court
Morris Vineyard.
The guard Of honor of Companion
Court Los Angeles gave an entertain
ment and afternoon tea on Thursday
afternoon at which a large number of

annual report of the court was read,
showing the court in a prosperous con-

Court Los Angeles received eight ap-
plications for membership on Thursday
evening, when Deputy McCahill was
present and promised to help get the

and friends are invited to meet in their
new hall Victoria hall, at 12519 South

their birthday and to bring their

Court Glad Hand made it interesting
for a class df six candidates at it's
meeting last/week, with Brother Sam
Reed as drill master. Sam is as busy
as a bee, and is making preparations
for an extra large class for the first
Thursday in March to welcome big

turns from the north. The number of
new applications received this week
shows that Brother Reed proposes to
make good on that occasion, as usual.
The new Companion Court Glad Hand
is getting down nicely to business,
and at it's meeting last week initiated
two candidates and had several more

actively at work to enlarge the men,

is a union court and is always glad to
welcome visiting companions and bro
theirs.
Court Occident at it's last meeting
had a good crowd in attendance as
usual and had five applications and the
promise of more to come. Their chief
ranger, Brother Leeds, is an enthusias-
tic Forester, and under his leadership
this court is making steady progress.
His motto is ''more Foresters," and the
sign is up to stay the consequence be-
ing that the members are all getting
busy.
Companion Court Miramar is plan
ming to get into larger quarters next
month, when they will occupy McDon-
AIDS hall at 119 South Spring street
every Tuesday evening. The compan-
ions say that they will then join the

They are planning an opening dance,
the date of which will probably be an
nounced in next Sundays Herald.
Court La Gazelle has again lost one
of it's members by accidental death in
the person of Brother John Frietas,
who was killed on Wilson Peak by fall
ing from the frozen snow. He had many
friends in the court, and his loss will
be keenly felt by his fellow members.
