An interesting joint meeting Of Pike
Woods Camp, No. 391 NJ W. A, and
Lake View Camp, NO. 1926 r, n a.,
was held at Castle Hall last evening.
Over three hundred members of the
two fraternities were present. Attor-
ney Clifford E. Randall gave the ad-
dress of welcome and spoke in part as
follows: "Life insurance in this day
with it's ever increasing demands is a
necessity. Competition grows keener
every day, expenditures and receipts
are growing more nearly equal. Not
one business man in thirty-three leaves
anywhere near money enough to con
tinue the comforts he has educated his
family to require and expect. The
only remedy is through life insurance.
'The Modern Woodmen of America
stands for remarkable growth, ex
tremely low rate and small number of
assessments, low death rate, able, care
full and trustworthy management and
a loyal and a devoted membership. We
have few equals, no superiors and chal
lenge the admiration of the whole
country.
"Words fail to estimate the amount
of good that fraternal organizations
are doing in bringing succor to the
widow, educating the orphan and pro
noting longevity by the consciousness
that the loved ones will be provided
for. Many a widows home is monri-
ment to the benefcence of Woodmen.
Many young persons's education
and success in life testifes to the bene-
fits of Moodcraft. Few stop to con
slider these facts, but the thoughtful
student sees in the Woodmen and kind
red organizations the bulwark of safe
ty and a. sign of the perpetuity of
American government. -
Following these remarks the officers
of the Royal Neighbors were installed
in a pleasing manner under the direction
of Mrs. Mary Clark and Mrs. VIM. Ball.
AFTER this ceremony Joseph Krichbanm
installed the officers of Pike Woods
Camp for the ensuing year in his usual
impressive way.
Rev. Edgar Farrill then gave one of
his most pleasing addresses, paying es-
pecial attention to the good qualities
of both organizations.
Rev. Farrill was supplied with
goodly number of taking stories and
his audience was conNulsed with laugh
ter at his opportune applications of
such stories. he paid high tribute to
the Woodmen Forester team, and at the
close Of his address the team gave an
unusually fine exhibition drill. Follow
ing this drill Capt. Bert G. Fowler was
called to the consul's chair and in
token of the appreciation Of his past
year S work was presented by William
j. Craney in behalA of the camp with
substantial purse Of money. Gifts
were the order of the evening, as i'm
mediately after Capt. Fowler had re
covered from his surprise sufficiently to
form his team in position, Conrad
Shearer with one Of his most pleasing
talks addressed the entire membership
team and concluded his remarks by
presenting, in behalf of the members
of Pike Woods amp, to each member
of the Forester Team gold watch fob
as a slight appreciation of the efficient
work done by the team the past year.
