SGaSsST8, Court Mateo will give a
a. Als94 smoker in the hall in the
kHkeE*S1A Walker building, to which
ifST fSTft&R the members and friends
WS5AsSt%A are invited.
Court Temple and Com
panion Court Miramar had both of their
halls filed on, Tuesday evening with
members and friends, who enjoyed the
dance and whist party provided by the
two courts. Quite a number of visitors
were present, not the least of whom
was Brother Frank e. Hand, superin-
tendent Of organizers. Brother Hand
is welded to Court Glad Hand, but he
enjoys visiting with Temple at its
social meetings. The winners at the
whist tables were Chief Ranger Frank
Hochderffer first among the men and
Brother George Diddock of Court Nor
ris Vineyard as second. Among the
women Mrs. R. A. Gardner won first
place, and Mrs. C. Ferris the second.
Companion Court Miramar had nc
regular meeting, but had two candi-
dates, who were given the obligation
of the order, and 1t is likely that more
will follow next Tuesday evening
This court is progressing steadily and
conditions are favorable for a large
increase this coming winter.
There were doings at Court La Fiesta
last Monday evening, the event being
Halloween celebration. The mem
bers and guests donning sheet and
pillow case costumes, the admis-
sion being one red apple. A regular
meeting was held, the guard of honor
in costumes, seating the officers. Two
| applications were received and one can
didate initiated, the guards assisting
The court then adjourned and the doors
were opened to the waiting guests. a
program of sports had been prepared
| by the committee, Companion A. B
Wilson being chairman. A hobble race
was won by F. L. Dougherty, an apple
| eating contest was won by e. G. Frank
lin and a peanut race was won by L.
D. Hollingsworth. There were dancing
and card playing, also refreshments
consisting of ice cream and cake
doughnuts and apples, a combination
fully in accord with the evening de-
voted to "spooks." The prizes awarded
were homemade pies. Taken altogether
the affair was a great success. The
court is doing we'll with the assistance
of Deputy Supreme Chief Ranger
Companion and Brother Foote, and at
the previous meeting there were seven
applications and one initiation, with
others to follow.
An excellent meeting was held at On
tario Thursday evening, when the hall
was filled with the members of the
court and the members of Court. Cuca-
monga, who were present by invitation.
1t was a great reunion of the men,
bers of the two courts, one of the good
old fashioned kind. Court Cucamonga
reported six mora members for the
Quarter of a Million Members club.
The Ontario members are getting busy
along the same lines, and it is likely
that a big joint Initiation will be the
result. Any member not yet familiar
with the Quarter of Million Members
club, membership in which is open to
all Foresters, should receive informa-
tion from their officers at once or from
the high secretary at 432 San Fernando
building. 1t is q good proposition OF
interest to all good and worthy For
esters. 1t will not be very long before
Christmas will appear, at which time
the Foresters always make extra pro-
vision for the orphans in their charge
who number now more than 275. This
is a great work. in which all Foresters
should be interested, and as in past
years, there will be a generous re-
Spouse to the appeal for funds that
will be sent out. One way of helping
will be to take part in the auto con-
test, which is a part of a plan to as
sist in this worthy cause and informa-
ton concerning which may be obtained
either from Frank Z. Hand at S18 West
Eighteenth street OF from the high Sec
retary at headquarters. A word to the
wise is sufficient.
