La Fiesta camp had one of the largest
meetings in its history last Monday
night, when the newly elected officers
were lIlSldliGu. 1dSl 0OIlcui NOAAilAAtAAi
der Jacob Good officiated as installing
officer and Past Consul Commander
Frank Bagley acted as neighbor escort,
with the uniformed degree team of the
camp assisting. J. II. Mcconnell, gem
eral organizer of the Canadian jurisdic-

Woodcraft, and former Organizer Will

the large crowd laughing during his
-I., - ay,ar
were pulled off by local disciples of the
manly art The camp has just received
a set of beautiful officers jewels from
the head camp as prize for complying
with the head consuPs offer for the
months of November and December.
The head consul has extended the gold
button offer to the date of the Portland
session of the head camp in July. Past

Last Wednesday night Vernon camp
had another jolly time. Three appli-
cations were received and two eandi-
dates initiated. The team and members
are just beginning to warm up in the
team versus officers and members con-
test The present count stands is to
/ in favor of the team, counting all ap
plications in from January 1. At the
request of Past Consul Commander r.
G. Thompson he was relieved from the
captaincy on account of his removal to
Eagle Rock valley. He will, however,
be the foremost fighter for the new cap
tain, NJ. P. Richey, who is now holding,
with credit to himself and the camp,
the position of adviser lieutenant. The
rai1lery at the camp session Wednesday
night was decidedly interesting, both
sides indulging freely. The team will
take as a criterion the famous OLD
Guard of Waterloo history, while the
officers and members will come down
to later days and put up bold front
and repulse the charges of the team
like those who earned the name "Stone-
Wall' for General Jackson. All the
members, including team and officers.
are imbued with the one aim, to benefit
the camp and enlarge our splendid or
der, and all have expressed the wish
to fight tooth and nail till their ambi-
tions are realized. This contest was
started spontaneously without the least
thought of personal gain or for bonus
from the head camp.
Next Wednesday night Vernon camp
will hold its annual family gathering.
This is the one night in the year de-
voted to amusing and pleasing the chill

songs, recitations and musical selec-
tions, and all will be rendered by the
talented little ones.
