Harrington

P. o. S. of A. Holds Rally at Townsend
Dover and Clayton Camps Suspended
On call of State President Herman
Johnson of Harrington, the entire State
! Executive Committee arranged a trip
winding up at Camp 49, State Secretary
! Austermuhle and State Master of
/ Forms Downing came down from Will
mingtOn, and visited Clayton, while
| there they secured the equipment of the
/ local camp and took up their charter.
/ In the meantime another delegation
headed by State President johnson to-
gether with State V. =. Kemp, state
| Treasurer Bailey, State Chaplain Can't
well and State Guard Tee, after inter-
viewing several members, performed the
| same service.
/ Both Dover and Clayton affairs were
| in terrible condition. DoVer's trouble be-
gan a few years back when they with
drew from the funeral benefit assOcia-
ton On top of their withdrawal the
camp suffered the loss of two members,
with the result the camp was unable to
meet the death claims. This caused the
loss of more members, later the treas
ury was so low they suspended sick
| benefits. The treasurer states there is
no money on hand to meet their cur
rent bills.
At Clayton the trouble seems to be
with the secretary, who was very lax
in attending his official duties. Many of
the members ulQ not KNOW the true con-
dition of affairs. The State Executive
Committee has been informed that some
of the interested members will apply
for a renewal of the charter The Exec
utive Committee then went into ses-
sion and appointed Eli Sheldon, Harry
J. Schmidt and Harry Wainwright all
of Wilmington. as an auditing commit
tee to look after the Clayton account.
Plans have also been announced that
the State Camp offers to any member in
Delaware one dollar for each and every
member that they have initiated into
the order. This proposition is only Civ
en- to weak camps or those which have
a membership of less than fifty. State
Chaplain w. S. Cantwell is being urged
to act as a State organizer. In the near
future he will visit various towns in the
State where his service are required
and assist in the membership drive.
