Odd Fellows Doings
Crystal FOunt No. 10

Last MOuudy evening was q UP
sy doodle affair. We rushed |
through the routine in atom time,
then hurdled the steps to the wait
ing bus for visitation to Union
Lodge of Georgetown. Clarence
Jester kindly donated the bus for
our journey and the driver, Don
aid Jester, is to be commended for
his driving--he didn't miss chuck
hole nigh here to Georgetown. 1t
takes a steady hand to hold ones
course on the rolly-coaster road
down the state these days. The
condition of the road did jar out
some latent talent, for most every
one was in fine voice and the songs
emitting from the thrOats of the
brethren were melodious and some
times quite the reverse; due prob
ably to the "up and down, this way,
that way" traction of the bus as
the driver strove valliantly not to
miss not even the slightest depres-
sion in the roadway. Arriving at
the courthouse, we debunked and
scurried to the lodge hall of I'm
ion. Scanning the court house
clock we were surprised at the
time thereon, according to it we
had not yet begun our session in
Milford. Ascending the labyrinth
, of steps we were admitted in due
J form to the abode of our brother
fraternity. There we were well
coined. After being seated we
found our own Grand Master Kir-
by and his efficient staff, sweating
=. in out in shirt sleeves. Ere long we,
). too, were melting with them. After
long and sometimes shorter talks
: were made, our host lodge, noting
our wet shirts and sweating brows
+ hurriedly brought relief in the
n form of ice cream and cake, and
\ plenty of it, too. Then, being some
what refreshed, we witnessed the
presentation of the noble grand o.
|. Morning Star Lodge, Smyrna, tt
C the noble grand of Union Lodge, o
: the new working tools. The tools
d were graciously received by tn,
l. presiding officer of Union Lodge
s After thanking our hosts for mos
e pleasant evening we entered ou
5. bus and soon were hitting tn
T. homeward trail. And our driver
: evidently displeased at himself fO
not hitting all of the depression
~ on the way down, made up for
by striking those he missed on tn
downward trip. Hope you like thi

le dental Thanks, Clarence, for th
y use of your bus. And you, too, Dor
aid, maybe all of us should b
~ shaken up once in awhile.
