list of officers, while a most efficient
one, will have an abundance of work
to keep them busy during their in
cumbency, as the camp is planning
to hold many interesting meetings and
to bend every energy to materially
increase the membership.
David camp is always a pleasant
place to pass an evening, and the
meeting Thursday night was no ex-
ception and a great deal of enthu-
siasm was displayed in the campaign
for new members inaugurated some
weeks ago. Two applications were re-
ceived and four candidates initiated.

highly appreciated addresses were
Neighbors DIR. Edelman, l. J. Harris,

rade ball at TurnVerin hall, 321 South

time, as is the custom at these func-
tions.
Eastlake camp held a we'll attend
ed meeting Tuesday night, despite the
unfavoTable weather conditions, and
all felt we'll repaid for their trouble,
as the session was an unusually inter
esting one. There appears to be a
growing interest in the affairs of the
camp, due to the untiring efforts of
those who have the welfare Of the
camp at heart and who desire TO see
it maintain its position as one of the
leading camps of Southern California.
The campaign for new members is
taking on a pleasing aspect, and one
need but be a poor prophet to make
the assertion that the year 1910 will
witness an extraordinary increase in
the present enrolment. At the meet
ing Tuesday night, four candidates
were initiated, with numerous pros
poets" in view. District Organizer
George Z. Stretch gave a forceful ad-
dress on the business and fraternal
sides of the order.
FREMONT camp had little business
for consideration Thursday night, and
when this was dispatched the camp
adjourned to allow the neighbors pres
ent to pass the remainder of the even
