Dispatch Fraternal News


One Of the most enthusiastic meet
ings held during the past twelve
months by Queen City Camp occurred
Thursday night. While the very in,
clement weather, no doubt, prevented
several members being present, those
who attended were imbud with the
fraternal spirit which has always
characterized the loyal supporters Of
Woodlraft.
The beginning of the distribution
of the Million Two Hundred and Fifty
Thousand Dollars surplus fund by the
Sovereign Officers was a live topic
for discussion.
Members who rated under Option
1 have already gotten their credit al
lowances, while those who rated un-
der Options A and 5 win soon receive
checks covering their share Of this
fund.
During the discussion is was point
ed out that the Society has assets in
the shape of bonds together with flu
ture contributions equal to $169 ,OOO,-
10000 to protect policy holders.
The report of Clerk Duncan shows
healthy condition regarding the
local Camp. With approximately
I$1500 in cash, liberty bonds and other
securities in the treasury after hav-
ing liquidated all Indebtedness for
the year 1920, no one can deny the
careful management of Queen City
camp affairs.
This report also showed that quite
a number Of donations from the
charity fund had been made, in each
instance some. worthy member of the
local camp had had misfortune in
one way or another. 1t is the policy
of the officers Of the camp to keep
in close touch with the members for
the express purpose of looking after
their wants.
The newly elected officers for 1921
were installed as follows ]. B. Love,
Consul Commander, j. R. Gray, Adv.
Lieutenant; w. r. Smith, Banker; w.

hood, he was married to Miss Alice
