born in Elmer. He says that Odd
Fellowship is, very close to his heart
in this part of the State and that it.
is his desire to have perhaps the
greatest meeting during his term as
Grand Master in South Jersey. He
| has selected Glassboro as the center
of attraction. Together with his staff
of Grand Officers, he will hold a
meeting here on Saturday evening,
| April 18th. The plan is this. That.
the lodges of these three counties are
! to agree to initiate at least fifty can
didates in their respective lodges,
and bring them to Glassbore to re-
ceive the First and Second Degrees.
The degree team of Meni Lodge, No.

fer the two degrees. in the latest up.
