things involved than you. It is pa
thetic to see a man attempting to
instruct others when he has not kept
abreast with the law himself.
1t is a bit pathetic to see a man
or woman trying to instruct, advise,
and suggest something that he is al
together ignorant Of. Presidents,
when you don't know, you just don't
know, and the only way you viii
know is by studying your law and
getting an understanding after stu
dying. If you know what can be
done and what cannot be done, you
don't have to worry: just "sit pat"
The boards are held strictly for
the purpose or paying off GU hon

this is absolutely secondary. Any
body who attempts TO change this

Association. Some might suggest
this, that, and the other to be done
IN the quarterly BOARD meetings,

might suggest or would like to see
done in these particular boards. This

not know what procedure to take
in transferring members. Any mem
Der who wishes to transfer to some
other H. B. A. Lodge is at liberty
to do so, however, the local lodge
cannot issue a transfer card until
the member forwards the number of
the 4odse to wA4ea he desires to

We are asking each local lodge to

June Report Blanks
Coming In

The Executive Board requested the
June reports to be mailed to the Of
flee on or before Wednesday, June
LIST, however, we would like to make
it publicly known that we received
some reports around the latter part
of April. The response coming from
the local lodges is inspiring and en-
couraging.
The local presidents are certainly
letting it be known that they respect
the Executive Board and are willing
to abide by its ruling.
To those presidents who might not
find it possible to attend the June
Board, I wish to express my hearty
appreciation to each Of you for the
cooperation given the office.
