to make room for his modern resi-

port Banking company was in need
of building to house their busi-
ness, Webb lodge joined them and
put on the third story where they
have since held their meetings.
1t seems the women did not be-
come interested in, or at least
enough of them to organize lodge
until April 3, 1911, when Webb

Through the kindness of Mrs. Bes-

do, but also there seems to be
something that only Stars are sup
posed to know Mrs. Mercer is
hunting for the person, or persons,
who wrote the Star ritual, which we
hope she finds, and that we may
give to our readers. While we think
of it, we wonder how come that

are all Eastern Stars. 1t seems to

FACTS AND FOLKS OF WINDSOR
fBv a. r. Raw


Fearing we have not corrected
our mistake regarding how Stock
port got its name, or rather how
come the name was changed from
Windsor to Stockport. In our first
section we said 1t was when the
railroad came. It was long before
that. SIT was when postoffice was
granted the village, it was found
that there was already an office
with the name of Windsor.
Samuel Beswick, the first post
master chose the Stockport from
the name of the town Stockport
shires esEmgland, from where the Bes-
wicks came. Mrs. Edna Scott, a
granddaughter, informs us that Mr..
Beswick with his family lived in a
house that stood where the Calen-
dine, picture show now stands, and
that the date 1913 was cut in the
sandstone doorstep. She thinks
that while the Beswicks built all
the houses along the triangle on
Broadway, except the brick known
to old-timers as the Isaac Hook

After Operation in

Served as Assistant
Secretary Of the Navy
Under Charles Edison

Lewis S. Compton, former Assist
ant Secretary of the Navy, died to-
day at Post Graduate Hospital, New
York. j, He would have been so years
old November /.
Mr.. Compton, resident of Me-

derwent an operation, the Associated
Press reported.
At the time of death, he held an
executive post with the National

A friend of Charles Edison, now

Factory Guards Union
Upheld in NLRB Order

Watchmen and guards have a
right to organize, the National La
Dor Relations Board held today in
rejecting the contention of the
Johns -Manville Products Corp. that
the civilian protective force at Its
Waukegan, Ill, plant is taking the
place of members of the armed
force, and that the same restrictions
that would apply to unionizing the
latter must be observed in the pres
ent case.
The company argued, the board
said, that "the duties imposed on
these employees as guardians of the
plant and the exercise of their rights
as members of union are incom-
patible and would divide their loyal
ties, thereby undermining the sys-
tenn of plant protection"
"We perceive no necessary conflict
between self-organization for COL
lective bargaining and the faithful
performance of duty" the board said
in ordering an election to determine
if the Watchmen's Protective Or
ganization, AFL, is to be chosen as
bargaining agent.
