Social Welfare
 Has Important
 Part In Program

The lodge took it's initial step in the direction of social and commun- ity welfare work on July 1, 1885, when it held a hospital benefit dance, the proceeds netting thirty dollars and twenty five cents. which was duly turned over to the Bishop Rowe hospital. The next step was much more extensive and was des- tined to hang fire in spite of the fact that it had progressed to a point where it's completion seemed a certainty. This was the sponsoring of a children's home to be establish ed in the town of Wrangell to care for the needy and indigent child ren o fthis locality and possibly la ter to include other needy children in S. D. Alaska.
 Commendable Project
 Acting on a motion made by Brother Fred Hanford, the lodge of- fered its full support in connection with this commendable project. The first to cooperate outside the lodge was the Episcopal Church, which proffered it's old gymnasium as the Home for Children. A letter was written to the Territory asking for aid on the project. Assured that their activities so far were meeting with approvel by all local organiza- tions, the committee which consist ed of Brother Hanford, Brother NO- Ian and Brother Barnes, really went to work in earnest. These three, fired with enthusiasm for their work, and imbued with the spirit that comes to those who are about to create a healthier and happier place of habitation for the young or aged, communicated with the Chamber of Commerce of Seattle ask ing for aid from the business houses for the support of their plan. They felt certain donations would be forthcoming to provide for such a worthy cause.
 Although it is true some funds were received from these firms in Seattle, the results on the whole were disappointing. But there was still the local people to consider and their generous response was most gratifying to those who were putting forth every effort to make a success of the Children's Home as a permanent institution. Yet, it was situation in which the best was not good enough. Even with the hearty cooperation of the populace the project was doomed to failure The sticker was not that there was insufficient funds to build the home, but that the club without the finan- cial aid of the government couldn't possibly hope to maintain it.
 Still Hope For Project
 It is certainly outrageous fortune that a cause so worthy and noble must needs slip back into the depths of obscurity from whence 1t came. Such an institution would have un- doubtedly been one of Wrangell's greatest assets and shining symbol of achievement by Wrangells lodge 1895. Yet, perhaps, a chance still fingers that this dream will become a reality. Given financial backing by the government, and cooperation of other social organizations, we may yet see this home in our midst, mothering and protecting all needy and homeless children in southeast arn Alaska

the one objective that overshadows
