The April cerem0nial on the 18th
went over fine. The band was not up
to- its usual stand due to lack Of
preparation and absence OF members
The Rangers, under Capt Ed. Green,
conducted the initiation far better
than any they have handled this year.
Five Master MasOns received the de-
grees. Evergreen Forest will show
an increase in membership this year.
H
Capt. AlOnzO Evans, our good MEM
ber from down Bethany Beach way,
can relate some interesting tales of
his experiences as sea-faring man.
Yes. Mr. Cedar, be has been through
the mill so to speak, but never misses
q ceremonial, which he thoroughly
enjoys. Lure him out in the anti
room sometime and get him started

the recipient Of an honor very sell
dom bestowed upon any man last
month when he was the honor guest
of New York Masonic Lodge that
raised his three sons TO the sublime
degree of Master Mason on the
same night. The three Evans boys
are sea-faring men. each following
in their fathers footsteps. Evergreen

Senator Louis 4. Drexler has ad-
yanced an idea that may be worked
out to advantage. The Senator has
related on several occasions how

ever, that he helped plan few years
ago, adding that il might be just the
thing 10 get Evergreen members to-
