Frank Reynolds says that the easiest
thing that ever happened to MIN was
being consul of Golden state camp
John Myers heartily supports that poc
sition and is enjoying the fullness Oh
that blessing.
nlien Herbelin, the genial deputy,
has been on the sick list for the past
two weeks and has been unaple 10 az
tend to his work properly; but now
that he is about again there VIII DE
something doing in the way OF new
candidates He had ten new appllca-
lions last Wednesday night, out ina.
did not satisfy him, and he says that
he will show trick or two in the near
future.
The prizes that the clerk and deputy
have secured for monthly Distribution
are beginning to stir up interest among
the members, and there is likely TO DC
a lively scramble for each monthly
prize and a grand rush for the grand
prize at the end of the contest.
More comments in praise OF the en-
tertainment given at our last soclai
meeting than have been heard about
anv other entertainment that has been
given by the camp for a long time
which goes to prove that that class OF
entertainment is highly appreciated
by the members.
A trick of the types no doubt caused
the Fraternalist to make the mistake
of saying that Pacific camp NO. 926-
was the largest camp of Modern WOOD
men of America in California, when III
fact Golden State camp is the larges'
camp of Woodmen in this state and Is
larger by more than hundred mem
bers than any other camp in the south
west But little errors like that viii
sometimes slip in, and nobody is really
responsible for the mistake.
Golden State camp is soon to have
new bylaws that are expected to be
a model of lodge rules, as committee
representative OF all the points OF pfln-
ciples to be covered has been appointed
to draft them. The committee con-
sists of one lawyer, one physician, one
expert in lodge rules and one business
man. while the consul, who is an ar
chitect, will direct and supervise the
construction.
Neighbors George Francis and Percy
Kemble will leave in a few days for a
trip to their old home in England. Mrs
Francis will accompany them and they
may visit Australia on their way back
crossing the Pacific from there and
thus complete the circuit of the globe
May their voyage be a pleasant one.
Neighbors George Tremper and VII
liam Wilkin of New York and j. j. c
DAILY of Casa Verdugo were visitors al
the camp fire last Wednesday night
They said they were surprised to sec
such a great camp in the west, anI
were glad to find the boys such jolly
set of fellows. The boys enjoyed the
speeches of the visitors. and hope they
will all come back again.
Neighbor A. B. Copper has charge oi
the program for the next social meet
ing to be held May 8. and he gives as
surance that he will not be outdone by
any one in any essential feature, so al
can look for a good program and
Neighbor Burgess will make a trip t.
Santa Barbara and visit camps there
and in that vicinity next week.
