DR. MCGOVERN INSTALLED AS
 EXALTED RULER

Hedging the entire membership of the local lodge of Elks to a year of war activity and declaring that in this great crisis the sole thought of every Elk should be to devise ways and means whereby those at home may make sacrifice for those in the battle lines of France, Dr. Edward F. McGovern, the new Exalted Ruler of Bridgeport lodge, was greeted with great acclaim at the rooms last even ing.
 It was a patriotic meeting from be- ginning to end. The installation of officers, included in addition to Dr. McGovern as Exalted Ruier, the fol- lowing: w. B. Prendergast, George Wellington, Russell B. Mead, Archi- bald Mays, Charles H. Hinman, Vic tor Bechman and Charles Miller. . The installing officer was Captain Edward w. Cotter, Past Exalted Ruler of Hartford lodge. His partic- ular assistants were Senator J. P. Brennan, Charles r. J. McCue of Cambridge, Mass, lodge, and Col. F. W. Lawton of Providence. Inspiring patriotic addresses were made by Captain Cotter, Senator Brennan and MT McCue.
 The latter officiated as Grand Es- uuire and his work won for him a most enthusiastic round of applause. A Hooverized repast followed the work of installation. The new lodge year was inaugurated most auspic- iously. It is the intention of the new officers to eschew as far as possible social festivities and give all of their time to work of a patriotic nature during the year.
