lege of attending the open meeting or
Hermosa lodge. No. 80, September 70,

will be a return of the social side.
Golden Eagle lodge No ia. reports

a committee in whose hands the mem

l were young" This was demonstrated
by the crowd that attended recent
meeting of Los Angeles lodge, No l,
when old-time songs were booked as
the drawing card. Everybody enjoyed
them to the utmost and went home

The musical program and refresh
ments served as a diversion from the
regular routine of business at the meet
ing of Sunset lodge No. 624, September
