This comes to let the many readers
of the Echo know that Lodge No. 267
is still gaining ground by gaining
new members. l am asking the
General Secretary for more new pol
icies. We have a wide awake Cen
eral Secretary who needs and merits
the praise and commentator of all
with whom she comes in contact. l
am m o t respectfully asking t h e
presidents to read your constitutions
as the Secretary has so often adj
vised If you know the rules, laws
and regulations governing the order,
we can more effectively work to-
gether, for together we stand, di-

This is new year and it was ush-
cred in as a new and perfect year
without sin.We must ask ourselves a
question. Shall we help to keep it
perfect or shall we help to make it
a sinful year. Some of the things
that go to make it a sinful year are.
not treating our fellowman right and
by trying to hinder Gods program.
AS members of the Holbrook Be
nevclent Association we should ask
ourselves a question. What did we
do in 1949 to retard the progress OF
the Association? Did we hinder pro-
gress by talking too much and talk
ing the wrong thing. I am afraid a
lot of us will find ourselves guilty
So lets take a new stand for 1850
and in taking a new stand we have
got to have love in our heart for our
fellowman. This Association is not
going to success unless we have love
in our hearts for one another. We
should resort to praying more
prayer changes conditions.

Important fycliCc TO
Presidents

In few days we viii be mailing
out the report blanks for the March
Quarter and we are kindly asking
the presidents to let their secretaries
begin now writing the names of all
members of the lodge on the report
blank.
AS the members pay their Quarter
1y assessments they can be checked
up on the report blank. If this me-
thod is used l honestly believe that
it will help the local lodges to keep
their records. We have noted that
some of our presidents invaribly re-
port for one member twice and in
many instances they fail to write
some of the members names on the
report blank. All members names
should be written on the blank as
to whether they pay or not.
When member marries, the Of
flee should be notified. Write the
members name the same way in all
of the boards and not give his real
name one quarter and a nick name
the next quarter. When this is done
it gives the office quite bit of
trouble.
We have some presidents who will
report for some members this quar-
ter, miss paying for them the next
quarter and go on to the next quar-
ter and pay for them without renew
ing them up from the quarter that
they fell out in.
We write the local presidents each
quarter as to the status of their
lodges. If these letters were filed
properly it would save the presidents
a lot of trouble and the office too.
Please make up a file for the local
lodge if you have not already done
so.

Some people lie awake for hours

When this happens it is usually
because of poor mental or physi-

Sidewalks Are
Assured For
Fifth Avenue

Property owners on Fifth Ave
between Adams and Washing
ton Streets put in a petition re-
Gently for sidewalks in that
block.
The City Council passed a
resolution at its last meeting,
declaring its intention to pro-
coed with the paving and pub
lished it's declaration in accord
ance with the ordinance.
Being a business block the or
dinance calls for ten foot side
walk, which is estimated will
cost in the neighborhood of
$4,000 if put out on contract.
Owners of property abutting
on the Improvement will be
assessed for two-thirds of the
cost. According to the ordinance,
which is an old one, the assessed
cost of sidewalk improvements
is to be paid within 80 days
after completion.
Councilman Kirkpatrick OBJ
jected to this cash payment
clause as being unfair and not
common practice in most cities.
Other members agreed that this
clause should be remedied and
it will be considered at the next
council meeting.
Russell Painter, street com
missioner, stated that it was
his opinion that the street de-
partment employees can build
the sidewalk at less cost than
if contracted, which statement
will be investigated, and if Veri.
fled, the improvement will be
constructed by city employees
with equipment owned by the
city.
