Odd Fellows
Odd Fellows of this section and
other parts of the State are counting
on a particularly interesting time
when they assemble at Toms River
on July II for a session of the Grand
Lodge of New Jersey. Up to a thou
sand Odd Fellows are expected to at
tend. This will be n of the many
special sessions that the Grand Lodge
planned some time ago to revive in
terest in the order and rejuvenate
things with younger blood.
A part of the session to- be held at
the Trace theatre will be open to all
men whether Odd Fellows or not, and
it will be made interesting to all pres
ent with a musical program and adj
dresses by Grand Lodge officers.
The Toms River Chamber of Com
merce has appointed a committee to
assist in the local end af the arrange
ments and one of the activities will be
the staging of a big dinner at the
Marion Inn. 1t will be ar ideal time
at an ideal place
EIks
Promoters of a lodge of Elks for
Nineland have received word that a
charter has been granted. The lodge
number is 1921, and committees have
been appointed to obtain headquarters.
Eastern Star
Many thousands of members of the
Order of the Eastern Star in New Jer-
sey, as we'll as members of the Ma
sonic order have been concerned lest
the Grand Masonic Lodge of New Jer-
sey shall take action similar to that in
Pennsylvania to withdraw from the
Eastern Star.
One of the laws of the Eastern Star
is that the patron of each chapter shall
be a master Mason. The origin of the
Eastern Star in this country was in
New York in 1878. The cardinal idea
of the order is to affiliate the wives,
, daughters, sisters and widows of mas
ter Masons, but Masons may become
members.
AS nearly all the officers of the
Grand Lodge of Masons in New Jer-
sew are members of the Eastern Star
no trouble is expected in New jersey
such as is being experienced in Penn
sylvania.
The Eastern Star has the approval
of virtually all the master Masons OF
New Jersey, and with this sentiment
so strong in the favor of that order
the two bodies in the future are eX'
pected to work in the same harmony
that has marked the relations of both
orders in the past.
