MAKING READY
FOR Meeting
GRAND LODGE
LOCAL REBEkAH LODGE, DE-
FUNCT FOR TWELVE YEARS,
RESTORED LAST NIGHT.
TO Be INSTALLED WEDNESDAY
State President, Miss Eddie Collins,
to Be Here For Purpose of Issuing
Dispensation-Twelve Hundred Wis
itors In October

To make ready for the meeting of
the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows and
Rebekahs here in October, at which
time fifteen hundred visitors and dele
gates will be here to attend the Sos
sions, Hope Rebekah Lodge No. 81
was reorganized here last night with
a membership of thirty-five, and quite
number of applications remain to be
acted upon.
The meeting last night was ad-
dressed by Mr.. and Mrs j. G. Col
Inns, of Nashville, the parents of Miss
Eddie Collins, state president of the
state Rebekah lodge, who will be In
Columbia Monday night to install the
local lodge and issue dispensation.
The local Rebekah lodge had been
defunct for about twelve years, but
with the interest that was manifest
ed at the reorganization meeting last
night it is believed that the order will
now flourish here.
Both men and women are eligible
to membership in the Rebekah lodge,
but in order for men to become affili-
ated with the lodge it is first necessary
for them to become members of the
Odd Fellows lodge. This is not true
of the women, it does not matter
whether or not they have relatives
in the Odd Fellows to make them eli
gible for membership.
Great things are already being
planned for the meeting of the Grand
Lodge here this fall, and 1t is expect
ed that within the next few weeks
committees will begin making all ar
rangements looking to the housing
and entertainment of the visitors
while they remain in the Dimple of
| the Universe. The Grand Lodge will
convene here on October 20 and will
be in session for four days. In addi-
tion to the 200 delegates from Odd
Fellow and Rebekah lodges from over
the state, it is expected that many 9th
er members of the order will take ad-
vantage of the opportunity to visit
Columbia, and to attend the Grand
Lodge meeting.

tinued, would result in PRONUNCIATION
