ROYAL NEIGHBORS OF
AMERICA

Sunny South and Pacific camps, Roy
al Neighbors of America, have changed
their meeting places to the MODERN
Woodman hall, 431 South Hill street,
and they opened their new home WIN
Joint class adoption last Monday night.
They were assisted in the work by Gar
vanza camp, Royal Neighbors.
There were never seen so many Royal
Neighbors together at one time in Los
Angeles before. and judging from the
large class of candidates that took the
obligation, it is evident that there is not
a more popular society in the city.
While it has been only short time
since work for class adoption at TINS
time was begun, there was no trouble
in securing nearly seventy-hve new
members for the class. OF this number
Pacific camp furnished about half, the
other half being divided between Gar
vanza and Sunny South camps
The women had lastly decorated the
hall and had prepared delicious sup
per, and everything was ready when
the time came for the camp to open.
The work of the evening was put on
under the auspices of Sunny South
camp, but by courtesy the officers of
Pacific camp put on the degree work.
There was not a hitch in the entire
program, every officer being perfectly
familiar with her part, and performed
it without hesitation. The work dem
onstrated how effective and impressive
the ceremonial work of adoption can
be made by a little rehearsing and prac-
tice. The Royal Neighbors have reason
to be proud of their work last Monday
night.
The success of the occasion was very
largely due to the splendid management
of the committee of arrangements from
the different camps, for which they de-
serve much credit.
Sunny South camp will meet on first
and third Monday nights of each month,
and Pacific camp will alternate by
meeting on the second and fourth Mon
day nights. The fifth Monday night
will be used by either or both by mu-
tual arrangement.

kN\S/AH plicants for Golden State
WA(<AU camp and getting them
Sp adopted. He says that only
adoptions count, and that
is what he is looking for more than big
lists of applications. Yet it is to be
noted that he likes to read off long
list of applications, too. But When
Neighbor Merbelin reads off an appll-
cation it is ten to one that the members
have heard the name of new member
of Golden State camp. That is the way
he does business.
At the next meeting of the camp,
Wednesday, May II, matters of great
! Importance concerning the welfare OF
the camp will come up for considera-
ton. and all members who are inter-
ested in the growth and prosperity OF
the camp should be there to take part
in the important questions to be
brought before it that night.
Among the questions to be considered
is the consideration of a revision of the
bylaws that was presented at the last
regular meeting. The laws for the gov
eminent of an organization like Golden
State camp are of so great importance
that they should be adopted only after
the fullest and most careful considera-
ton by the members. Hence it is hoped
that there will be a large number of
the members present next Wednesday
night.
It seems that the entertainments
given at the social meetings of the
camp improve with each succeeding
meeting. The one given last Wednes-
dav evening was no exception to the
rnie The fact it emphas sized the rule
by being the best of any yet given by
the camp; at least that is the verdict OF
all present.
THE program was rendered by Miss
Ollie Mcdonald and Miss Mayme
Vivion of New York, and they We're
assisted by Miss Lillian Herbelln
and Miss Norma Dennison of Los An
oaIas THE program as rendered was
as follows:

hoped they will be available for an

The prizes for membership last

two weeks. Neighbor Herbelin is CIV

ANCIENT ORDER OF
HIBERNIANS

The inheritance of having a home OF
its own is being realized by division No.
1 of the Ancient Order of Hibernlans or
los Angeles. The following from the
Tidings explains the movements of the
division in it's efforts to erect build
ing for a hall:
For the past forty years the Ancient
Order of Hibernians have been meeting
regularly in this city They organized
as Division No. l in the early Gus, ana
during all these years have paid enough
money in rentals to nave pul!t colll-
Portable home. They had many oppor-
tunities in the past, but for reasons
only known to themselves failed to
grasp them. But if the action taken
at the last meeting of the division is
anv indication of what is to follow, the
Hibernians of 1909 will not be accused
in the future of failing to grasp oppor-
tunites We are now paying rental
of $500 per annum, with the help OF our
sisters of the auxiliary, for a nall Tor
four nights a month Something very
interesting to reflect on, isn't ito. But
it seems the worm has turned at last,
and from now on every endeavor of our
organization will be to own our own
building. A committee comprising
Messrs Ford, Glenn and P. j. O'Con-
nor has been appointed by the presi-
dent to confer with the Federation or
Catholic Societies, a society that is will
ing to assist us in our effort to build a
standing monument to the A. o. III. in
Los Angeles. A motion to create hall
association was carried at the last
meeting and stock equivalent to $500
was instantly subscribed a fact that
shows the anxiety of our members to
strike out for themselves.
"Our president, d. F. Mclaughlin,
has for years quietly but Systematically
worked to create interest in the build
ing project
"A full attendance is urgently re-
quested for the next meeting of the
division, Monday, May IT, as d. Joseph
Coyne chairman of the entertainment
committee, promises a program includ-
ing all the local favorites.
