Gratitude is still in the die

elsewhere!
A local church has been furn-
ishing money and clothing to q
man who said he had been en-

OBVIOUS; perhaps ne remembered
that l had, in my soft way, paid
him and his fellow writer's the same
compliment few years ago.
Having been reviewer of books
myself (and having had books re-
viewed), I felt that the commentator
on sports had a specific advantage
over the man who has to write
about fiction and essays: the sports
writer writes largely about facts,
and the facts lie outside his own
field of activity. Gehrig may strike
out and the reporter may say so
without ever expecting to become an
outfielder in the major leagues some
day and have Gehrig assigned to

For the past six months, we have

in the largest number of paid-up new
members in these Boards We are
proud to say that this Drive has proven
to be an asset to the Association, how
ever, we are sorry only five prizes
were offered which means that only
five lodges could take a part in the
prizes.
We have decided to change the plan
of awarding prizes and fix it SO each
president who works can receive a
prize, and it is up to him to make his
prize as large as he wants to. We are
goin5 to give to the local president,
or lodge 10c for every new member
ne reports for in the December Board,
above the number reported fir in the
September Boards. If a president re-
ported twenty members in the Septem-
Der Board and reports twenty-five in
the December Board, then his prize
will he SOC.
l am looking for every president in
this Association to win prize.
You may send in applications just
as you have been for the last two
Boards; after they have been received
and accepted by the local lodge, they
may then be sent to the office without
laying on file for thirty days.
Don't send in those persons who are
sick and above the age of fifty-five.
