Pac. States Assn.
Arranges Details
By w. Wingfield

The Pacific States Association
Convention Committee of Athens
Lodge and Mizpah Temple met on
Thursday evening, March 31st and
received reports of all subcommit-
tees. The reports were indeed gra-
tifying to the chairman, T. M.
Jackson, as it seems that each of
the subcommittee that was ap-
pointed is really determined to do
a thorough job, and each one is
determined to do their share in
making the forthcoming associa-
ton of the Paicfic States Associa-
ton the greatest in the history of
the order.
The publicity committee were
first to make their report, follow
ed by the entertainment commit
tee, house committee and various
others. 1t seems from all indica-
tons that Constable Edw. M.
Smith, chairman of the entertain
ment committee and Vice-Chair-
man DIT. Jayne Hudson, has not
only promised everything unique
in the line of entertainment but
from rumors, they have some sur
prises in store for everyone besides.
/ would advise you to keep your
eyes on these two because they are
really going to do thorough job
of seeing that each and everyone
has agood time and is royalty en-
tertained.
The housing committee is deter
mined to see that all delegates
are properly housed. Bro. Chas.
Utter in charge wishes it known
that when it comes to finding
suitable Accommodations he is just
about tops. Believe it or not he has
an able assistant too in the person
of DIT. Martha Griffin Now if you
don't believe this just come to Oak
land and they will show you.
The Secretary, H. L. Clarke, as
sisted by DIT. Victoria Francis real
ly has job in communicating with
some fifty-four lodges and temples
by personal letter. AS both are
really excellent typists, I really
feel sorry for the two machines
they will have to use: so page the
water boy for his services will be
very much needed by these two
when this job is completed.
The last report from the south
is that the traffic department is
somewhat worried about the roll
ing stock to transport the tribe
of Benjamin, and we are told that
the tribe of Benjamin number
some 10000 according to our old
est history. The publicity depart
ment wishes it known that they.
will give full account of them
selves; also they are preparing
you a unique souvenir program
that will be worthy of ownership.
Now if there is any doubt in the
minds of anyone that this is 60
ing to be the greatest event in the
history of the order in the west,
just make your plans to be in Oak
land during the week of June 26,
81, %, and 20; if you desire you
can just stick around with US per-
manently.
For information that you desire
concerning the convention, kindly
communicate with the Secretary,
Herbert L. Clarke at 1919 9Th St.,
Oakland, California. He will be
very glad to advise you on any
matters pertaining to same.
