WOODMEN OF THE WORLD


gQRzzD ing the matter in charge
1t has been decided to make this meet
ing an application night, and for that
purpose an open meeting for men will
be held. A large hall will be secured
and suitable program arranged. Head
Consul Boak WILL of course, deliver the
principal address and Organizer Stretch
will speak on the results of the cam
paign. 1t has been a whole year now
since the head consul has visited Los
Angeles, and as the head of the order
he will receive a fitting reception. Head
Adviser Veale and Organizer Martin
will doubtless be present.
Organizer Stretch is entitled to more
than passing observation for the splen-
did work that he is doing. He seems
to fit into the. niche and everyone has
kind word for him and is willing to
help him, for he has assured all the
members in this section that he will
not resort to measures so frequently
adopted by some organizers and that
he is working for Woodcraft solely for
the sake of Woodcraft and for it's ad-
vancement.
Tomorrow night La Fiesta camp will
have large class of candidates, and a
big crowd is expected, as some addi-
tional side degree work will be intro
duced for the first time. The members
are beginning to realize that the camp
room on Monday hight is one of the
most attractive of places, and many
visiting neighbors are impelled to at
tend because of the good times usually
had. Sleight of hand performer Neigh
Dor Pritchard of Haven camp, Is al
most sure to be in attendance, and to
miss him is to miss big bunch of fun.
Compton camp entertained the boost
ing committee last Thursday night and
the speeches and good cheer made the
welkin ring in the camp. 1t was quito
an enthusiastic meeting, and Neighbor
James was elected adviser lieutenant
and Neighbor Barlow of Los Angeles
installed him on the spot. This camp
has requested the organizer to devote
two or three days to it and has prom
ised several applications.
Azusa camp will entertain the off,
GERS and team of La Fiesta camp on
Monday March Is, when a special car
will be engaged to carry the neighbors.
This will be the first meeting of Azusa
camp in its new hall, and a large class
of candidates will be initiated by the
visiting team in honor of the occasion.
Clerk Eldred of Azusa camp is devot-
ing his energies to making the meeting
a success. La Fiesta camp has done
yeoman service in the past, as various
small camps in the outlying sections
can attest, and this is another occasion
when the large camp is glad to go to
ones. Every camp in the city will
doubtless send representation. The
boys at Azusa are enthusiastic and
jolly, and big meeting is promised.
The visiting camp will furnish some
talent from Los Angeles.
East Lake camp had six applications
last Monday night and two initiates,
with more in sight. This camp is thor
oughly organized, and it is out to win
the banner and will doubtless do so.
The attendance Is increasing, which
means increased activity Visiting
neighbors are always welcome within
our forest.
David camp generously assisted a
worthy sick neighbor from Denver, and
the expressions of good will which ac-
companied the donation must have
been an inspiration to the sick member
This camp is interested in the cam
paign and promises to do its part.
Los Angeles camp had love feast
last Thursday night and took up the
subject of how to get applications for
the camp. Several members spoke, and
1t was decided that every neighbor
should get applications for himself
whenever possible rather than to sub
NIT the names to-anyone else, as 1t took
too long to get results, and the camp
Is determined to have a bunch of APP
plications during this month. The team,
Is being drilled and 1t will soon make
an almost perfect showing
