Brothers McFaul, chairman, Geo
Jester, James Hall and Allen Bous-
cher were appointed to make plans
for the anniversary of our order
which is the 26th of April. On that
date in 1919, five men assembled |
together in the City of Baltimore |
and laid the foundation of our
great order, 122 years ago. 1t is |
possible that at the time of its in
stitutiOn the hope and ambitions
of the founders did not extend be-
yOnd the boundaries of the state of /
theil. adoption. However, the seed |
was sown that would lead to the |
spread of the gospel OF Odd Fell
lowship to the uttermost parts of
the earth. Millions have assumed !
its obligations and know of its hui
man benefactions. AS we approach
the threshold of new year in Odd
we do so with the prom
Use of new hopes and new friends.
New hopes for the extension of its
teachings; new friends by adding
to our membership many Of those
who are still without the fold.

After the lodge was closed a
salad platter was served in
the banquet room by our sister
We wish to thank them
very much for their effort in SER
wing us. Am sure everyone enjoy
ed themselves very much, 1t only
goes to show that the Rebekahs and
Odd Fellows of Milford are just
The same as one. What do you
Think?
