What promises to be one of the
most impressive services ever held
in Paducah will be the nineteenth
annual memorial services of the Pa
ducah lodge, No. 217, of the Benevo-
lent. Protective order OF Elks, to be
held Sunday afternoon, December 4,
in the Kentucky theater.
Final details for the service were
completed last evening at a meeting
of the program committee. Although
there are to be no electrical effects,
like last year. the stage setting will
be even more attractive this year.
The meeting will be a grove scene
and numerous palms and ferns will
bank the sides and background of
the stage, the lodge occupying seats
in the center.
The main feature will be the an
nual Grafton to be delivered by Cap
tain w. J. Stone, of Kuttawa. Cap
tain Stones acceptance OF the inyi-
tation to speak was received two
weeks ago and the lodge has been
fortunate in securing so excellent an
orator.
