Knights of Columbus

! R. F. Morrison master of the 1th degree for Arizona, New Mexico and
 Fl Paso. was in the city the past
 week from Prescott, and while here ! conferred with Grand Knight Peter Ryan of Marcos de Niza. council and others regarding the eXemplification
 of the fourth to take place in Phoenix on the Sunday following fair week 1 in Novembec.
 "I am more than pleased with the rnmber of applications for the fourth degree from the nine councils in this state" remarked Master Morrison. | From present indications it is safe to say that there will be in excess of 100 candidates for this. the high est honor in the Knights of COlum- bus.
 Tn order that all who can qualify might take the degree at this time I have secured from Supreme Master John H. Reddin of Denver permission to accept more than twenty applica- tions from each council I found that to hold some of the larger councils to that number would mean to pre- vent a, large number of knights talk ing the degree until later date. 'T am assured that many prominent fourth degree members from other districts will be here to assist in the work of complication. Southern California will probably send a large delegation This being the first eX- republication in this district some will
 come a great distance.
 Following the degree work, which will take the greater part of the day, the newly made fourth degree class af nrri-
 son at an elaborate banquet, at which
 several eloquent members will be
 called upon for addresses. From
 time to time Master Morrison will
 make further announcement of his
 plans.
 At the regular meeting Tuesday ev-
 ening. the newly elected officers of Marcos de Niza council will be in
 stalled and begin their duties for the
 coming year Further plans will be
 made for the celebration of Colum- bus day, October 18th. Several other matters of importance will be dis
 cussed. Members are requested to be present Grand Knight Ryan will announce the name of the new lec- turer.
