NAfIAa. There was large at
,9ESs1Av tendance at the whist
15 slS5ENSA party of Court Progress
tsIf1s1a1 a1H at Pasadena on Friday
&SfES% evening and an enjoyable
%SySsE evening was passed in
N social intercourse. Val
liable prizes were con-
tested for and 1t is rumored that the
high secretary returned to the city
with a new pair of suspenders as a
result of the score he made 1t is
certain that the prizes were useful as
well as ornamental. Ice cream and
cakes served by the companions at
the conclusion of the evening sent
everybody home in a happy mood.
Court Progress is living up to its
name and with the assistance of
Companion and Brother Foote has
materially added to its membership
during the summer months and ex-
poets to do even better during the
coming winter months.
Companion Court Glad Hand Will
have a social evening Thursday even
ing of this week, when whist will be
PLAYED. and the committee will see
that all comers are well entertained.
Court Temple and Companion Court
Miramer had both halls we'll filled last
Tuesday evening at their regular
monthly whist party and dance.
Brother N. A Pontius was high scorer
among the men, and was awarded a
fine hand-painted stem as prize.
while c. r. Hawkins took the second
prize. Among the ladies, Mrs. Pow
ers and Mrs. Gardner were the first
and second prize winners respectively.
Court Temple will give the initiatory
work next Tuesday night, when quite
a class is expected to take the work
at the hands of the team.
Several applications were received
and the initiatory work was given at
the meeting of Court Glad Hand
Thursday evening and pleasant ses-
sion was held. AS Deputy Supreme
Chief Ranger Sam Reed was granted
weeks leave of absence, to be
passed deer hunting in the wilds of
the neighborhood of Lompoc, the court
decided not to hold it's monthly smoker
next Thursday as usual. 1t will be
held the Thursday evening of next
week instead, when Sam will be back
and tell the boys all about 1t. Just
to show Sam what they can do with
out him, the court will give the ini-
tiatory work to class of candidates
next Thursday evening.
Court Morris Vineyard added a
number to membership Friday even
ing. Deputy Supreme Chief Ranger
J. II. Jones is doing good work for this
court and had placed quite number
into membership recently. Friday
evening the court Will hold its reg
ular monthly smoker, when Judging
by the excellent program provided by
the committee last month) it is GER
tain that those who attend will be
we'll entertained. The members are
expected to bring their friends to
these affairs, so that they will get
acquainted with the great benefits of
Forestry.
The Companion Court Morris Vine
yard had a good attendance at its
meeting Friday night, and the mem
bers are taking great interest in the
new contest for membership that is
in progress. Companion Ecket Is cap
tain of one team, assisted by Com
panions Marshall and Hollingsworth
as lieutenants, while Companion Fer
ris is captain Of the rival team, also
assisted by Companions Cross and
Decker as lieutenants. 1t is certain
that the losers will banquet the win
ners at their expense, and 1t is likely
that the captains of both teams will
make the Toronto supreme court trir
next June as a result. The court will
gain in membership, and a material
Increase is expected before the first
of the year.
There was big time at the meet
ing of Court Semi-Trop1c last Tues
day evening, when a banquet was
given in honor of the new members of
the court. Quite an addition has been
made to the membership of the court
recently, and this affair was in the
nature of a house warming to it.
Three new applications were received
at the meeting, and 1t is likely that
the initiatory work will be given to
them this week.
