Odd Fellows S

Last Wednesday evening was rather busy time for Phoenix Lodge No. ,, judging by the many good reports which makes the future brighter than ever for this lodge. especially the reports of the build ing committee. which announced the funds are coming in nicely for the new OGd Fellows temple. The lodge does not expect to give any enter tainments in order to raise funds for the building. The big bulk had been assured long before the first announcement Was made. The trus- tees are only waiting for the finish ing touches, and how loyally the brothers respond in the near future depends tine height of the building. At the present time two stories are in sight. but d three-storY building would be more desirable. in order to get a little more cooler breeze higher up, and a roof garden on top would come in handy. and wouldn' that be d Gandy for q meeting place under the Arizona clear blue sky! Wed meet in the good old summer time, when the tWilights are gently falling, and all the brothers would be calling. and we would always have them with us What say ye brothers? Don't all speak at once Your support and decision in this regard will be most highly appre- ciatcd. Shall it be three or fOul stories?
