of this city, will gather at the rooms
of the New Brunswick Council Fri

These meetings are being held
with the various councils within the

that have been visited.
The members from Perth Amboy
will leave from the lodge rooms at
Odd Fellows hall at 7 o'clock and

made at a meeting of Middlesex

was tried out in New Brunswick. is
the awarding of a special prize at

is drawn. Should a members name
be drawn and he is not present the
amount of the prize is held over
until the next meeting and so on un-
til the one present is drawn to carry

hoped to get the members interested
in attending the sessions regular.
