will occur the election of head camp
officers and the making of laws to gov

three years. A discussion of what may
take place at the head camp session is
not in order at this time, but the dis
trict convention promises to be of no
little interest because of numerous ques-
tions relative to the good of the order

San Pedro camp met last Friday
night, with a fair number of it's men,
bers present and several visiting neigh
bors from Los Angeles and other
camps. The meeting was an unusually
interesting one, and demonstrated that
the camp is being aroused to its possi-
blities. The membership is determined
to increase its enrolment and attend
ance at the camp sessions. AS an evil
dence that the camp means business,
five applications were up for considera-
tion at this meeting, with others in
sight for later action. District Organ
izer Stretch made the principal address,
during the course of which he promised
the assistance of himself and organiz-

Downey camp held an interesting
meeting Tuesday night, with visitors
present from Eastlake, Fremont and
Whittier. Through the kindness of
Neighbor A. B. Walk, the visitors were
met at the Whittier electric line and
conveyed by team to Downey three
miles distant. District Organizer
Stretch was the speaker of the evening,
delivering fraternal address that will
long remain in the memories of those
fortunate enough to have heard him.
Always an eloquent. instructive and
pleasing speaker. Neighbor Stretch
seemingly surpassed himself on this
occasion, and on taking his seat was
accorded the heartiest applause. Dow
new camp is not now engaged in
membership campaign, but expects to
start work along this line very soon.
