Pacific camp members to the num-
Der of about 500 were out at Playa del
Rey, August 27, at the annual camp
picnic. The program Of sports and
other exercises was put through as
announced and all present had a fine
time.
A class of twenty-five candidates
was taken into Pacific camp Thursday
night Deputy Elder is determined to
have the banner camp next year. and
so far he is leading everything in
sight. Next Thursday there will be a
stag party and smoker at Pacific.
At the meeting of the Southern Cal
ifornia Logrolling association last Sat-
urday night it was announced that all
bills to outsiders had been settled and
that in two weeks time it was eX-
pected everything in connection with
the last picnic would be adjusted. O.
c. Mechem resigned the presidency
but nothing was done toward filling
the vacancy. Next Saturday night
the business affairs of the year will be
closed up and the new officers are eX-
pected to take charge.
Edward Pickering, colonel of the
Third California regiment of Modern
Woodmen foresters, has an ambitious
project on hand. Next August the
head camp session will be held at Buff
falo, and it is his ambition to have
the whole regiment of about 250 men
make the trip there to boost for Los
Angeles as the meeting place for the
head camp in 1914. This meeting is
generally attended by about 700 dele
gates from all over the country. while
foresterS and other visitors directly
interested swell the crowd to about
10000, all of whom are in attendance
for a week or more. On the day of the
big parade and celebration at Mil
waukee and Peoria the crowds blocked
the streets, the number of visitors be-
ing estimated at about 100000, So far
as announced, Colorado Springs is the
only other city asking the convention.
Generally the sessions have been held
at some city in the Mississippi valley,
and this is the first time the meeting
has gone to the east.
Colonel Pickering and others of the
foresters believe he meeting can be
brought out here, and he has a COM
mittee at work devising plans both
for the trip and the convention. AS
the order numbers more than a mil
lion members, 1t would bring Los An
geIes prominently before large num-
ber of people.
Vernon camp No. 1915 now meets
every Tuesday in Lomax hall, corner
of Central and Vernon avenues. This
camp was organized nine years ago,
and has met continuously in Akey's
hall On account of the rapid increase
in membership 1t was necessary to Sc
cure larger quarters. There are more
than 300 members in this camp, nine
teen being admitted during the month
of August.
With two deputies in the field, Yer
non camp is now working for a class
of 100 by January 1, 1911, and indica-
tions point that it will be accom-
plished. Twelve cards were presented
for admittanCe at the last meeting,
