State Secretary Thomas F. Dunn, of
Dover, submitted his annual report
showing the state of the order and the
statistical report for the year as follows:
I'm compliance of a "aquirement of
the law of the state consii'rt on. it be-
comes my duty as your secret etary and
servant, to render report of the busi-
ness transacted in this office for the
year ending June 80, 1914.
SIN presenting this annual report it
will be my purpose to be as brief as is
possible consistent with the provisions
of the law.
81 am pleased to inform you that the
affairs of our organization have been
conducted in a most harmonious and
progressive manner during the past
year. Our steady increase in member
ship certainly must be very gratifying.
The phenomenal gain of Washington
Camp, No. %, at Laurel, under the
leadership of Brother Ebert C. Baily,
and team of active workers, deserves
special mention. The birth and phe-
nominal growth of Washington Camp
No. 20, at Townsend speaks well for the
patriotic principles of our organization
and proves what results may be OBJ
tanned when the right spirit enters into
the work. They certainly deserve the
state trophy for the years work and 1
sincerely hope that some other camp
may be inspired to enter this contest,
which has become. a regular feature
which should receive greater considera-
ton.
Camps throughout the jurisdiction
seem to be in 1ourishing condition.
but deserve more attention from the
individual membership and district
Washington Camp No. rs, Green
wood, lost the greater part of their
paraphernalia and books in the recent
fire. They were not disc couraged, how
ever, and are holding regular meetings
and transacting their affairs in busi
ness-like manner.
''The field for organization work is
still large and fertile, ready for the
proper efforts and feel that the finan-
ces of the state camp are sufficient for
an early and active campaign.
81 trust that this report presents all
the information necessary to acquaint
you with the progress of our state camp
during the past year.
