Northwest Doings
In ElkdOm

Our column this week starts
with coincidence to Bro Gus West,
Exalted Ruler of Puget Sound
Lodge 100, for having lost his
brother Ollie, in an auto accident
at Winslow, Arizona. Ollie will be
remembered by many during his
residence here.
The performance of Flight"
was a success from the financial
standpoint, and proved very in
teresting in depicting historical
events. Everyone had a wonderful
time after the show.
We are sorry that the little mis-
understanding came up last week
relative to the Jam" Session. It
is not in keeping with the program
of Elkdom, or any other organi
cation that has a Christian foun-
dation to permit dancing on Sun
day. The mistake was that those
giving consent to the affair were
under the impression that it was
just a group wanting to rehearse.
The boys will jam" Saturday mite.
Brother McClain is getting all
sharpened up, for unless Brother
West is back next meeting he
will handle the gavel.
Madam Rouse has been very
quiet lately. Wonder what's the
matter? However, we wont be
surprised if we hear from him be-
fore this ink is dry. It's that
close to the first.
Elks were very much in evil
dence on the committee that took
the initiative in the Lawson
matter. 1t is too bad that it
takes something like this affair
to bring home the need of race
solidarity.
Received a letter from the
Grand" this week. He was in
Albany, Georgia. One of the many
reasons he is so popular is that
he goes any place in the world
where there is a Lodge of Elks.
Accommodations etc. never come
too tough. Another is that he
answers everybodies letter person
ally. The contributions he has
made to the uplift of Negro life
is well known to all.
n
The Daughters are planning
their Sermon, and also for their
Easter dance. Remember that is
an Elks dance and you are ex-
pected out.
The Caravan to Baltimore Com
mittee will give a hardtime dance
at the Home on April 9th. This
is by popular request as the Barn
Dance was such a decided sue
cess. Get your old clothes out and
be ready. This hardtimes dance
makes it just right for your cor
respondent. Yes, sir! Just right!
a in GO a
last week as far as we have been
informed.
We wonder if the Goat" is
keeping some brothers from meet
ings lately. You know, some of
the brothers figure the Goat"
might recognize them, and they
have been talking at the big gate.
Daughter Helen Leftridge,
Daughter Ruler of Evergreen
Temple 157, is around again, al
though she is not fully recovered,
she is much improved.
There is some good talent for
Pinochle Tournament in Puget
Sound Lodge. We don't see why
they wont start one. Charge a
reasonable entrant fee, give worth
while prizes-then settle for once
and all who is who in the grand
old game. Pm a'talking at you

will go for this one.
