Organize Degree Team.

A. degree team was organized ~
the Berlin lodge Of Foresters las
evening, when special meeting wa.
held at the home OF Charles b
Wright In Kensington. Louis Good
rich, chief ranger of the lodge, eS'
pressed himself as being very much
/ in favor of organizing such team
One of the reasons for the organiza-
ton is the fact that the membership
is growing so fast that new candi-
dates are taken in more frequently
than before. 1t is an added expense
as well as much trouble to secure a
team from seme other lodge.
At the meeting of the lodge tomor-
row evening four candidates will be
initiated the team performing its
function for the first time. The meet
ing will be held in the main hall as
the attendance has become SO great
that the room upstairs is not large
enough.
Thirty-three members were taken in
last year and at the present rate it is
expected that so or 60 may become
members this year. At present the
Berlin lodge has a membership Of
III.
