President George w. Swain, of Har-
rington, the district rally of his
camps coming under jurisdiction
was held at Magnolia on Thursday
night. Like the one held at Har-
rington in February, it again was a
stormy night and this materially re-
duced the attendance. 1t seems
there were several other social
functions in the different towns be-
ing held on the same night; this also
prevented many from attending.
However there were about 35 pres
ent and those that did attend spent
very profitable evening. The Kent
county members of the State Execu-
tive Committee were present, head
ed by State President Kerper, of
Cheswold; also State vice-president,
Harry c. Tee, Harrington; State
treasurer, E. Y. Williams, Dover,

of Magnolia, were also
present. Following the business
session the meeting was turned over |
to District President Swain. Short !
speeches were made by the State Of
icers and some of the members.
One candidate was elected to mem
1ership in Camp 10. Extensive plans
ire being made to entertain a large
delegation of the order at George
