Dolngs of Crystal Fount No. 10


Another good Past Grand" to add
to our list Dick, certainly has been
faithful. No man can say he did not
try. Always ready and willing. Kind
ly towards all of us, when we were
out of order-and he was forced to
sit us down. Coming back with a
smile that made all admire him. He
gives up the Office of Noble Grand,
glad, no doubt, that his term is over.
but with the satisfaction of knowing
he made a host of friends. William
P. Dickerson made an excellent No
BILE Grand. Crystal Fount Lodge is
proud of him.

In looking over the many changes
some lodges make. 1t is surprising
how few degree masters Crystal
Fcunt Lodge has had during the last
forty years. This is one Indication
of the peace and harmony that pre-
walls In Crystal Fount Lodge. Few
:. of the younger generation remember
W. w. Dougherty, father of w.
Shockley Dougherty, OF the Milford
Trust Company, when he was degree
master of Crystal Fount Lodge. Upon
the death of Mr.. Dougherty, Roy
Pettyjohn to0x over the team and
very successfully managed 1t. Roy
Pettyjohn was succeeded by George
A. Swain, who was very successful,
producing an excellent organization.
John LeCompte, present degree mas
ter, Is conducting the team with
credit to himself and the fraternity.
Quite a record, isn't 1t?

We've heard a lot of talk about
Wallace McFauls "Harmonizers.
Must be right good, for the enter
tainment committee is seriously con-
sidering placing them on their re-
serve list, as pinch hitters.

Very few members of Crystal
Fount Lodge take the time to look
over the statistics published in the
Grand Lodge journal each year. New
ertheless, a careful study of last
years reports will reveal the fact
that Crystal Fount Lodge heads the
list with sixty-three (69) past grands
living. Astonishing. isn't It? I guess
we live right good in Milford.

A few nights ago a certain young
Odd Fellows parked his car on Wal
nut street while he attended Kirk |
wood Encampment. When the En- !
campment was dismissed, he found
his car missing; but, caught a !
glimpse of our financial secretary,
Henry wilkins, who has a car of the
same make, turning the corner on
his way home. Thinking 1t was the
thieves with his car he turned in an
alarm for the entire police force,
who gave chase to our financial sec
retary, but missed him in all the
excitement. Nevertheless they over
hauled another car down the boule-
ward, only to find 1t was not the car
wanted. Imagine big boys surprise
when he arrived home to tell mother
Of his loss, to be informed by her
that she was down town, saw the car
unlocked. keys In 1t, so she brought
Il home. II took two doctors an hour
10 bring him to. What an explana-
lion he will have to make to Henry
wilkins and the police!
