Mrs. Irene Hallner was installed
as Worthy Matron of Acacia Flower
Chapter, No. 513, Order of the
Eastern Star of Cleveland, Ohio, Fri
day evening, Dec. 4.
To our knowledge, there has never
been a Saxon woman elected to this
high office. Truly it is an honor and
we Saxons are proud to have this
title bestowed on one Of our Saxon
sisters.
The Ritualistic Ceremony was
very impressive and to us it was a
wonderful occasion to see so many
of our Saxons installed as officers
It was indeed a great honor for our
Irene and her officers to have been
installed by the Worthy Patron OF
Ohio, Mr.. Herman Geist and his wife

Members are reminded of our
monthly business meeting on Sunday
Dec. 18th at which time members
are urged to get all their assessments
that are in arrears paid up so that
we may present true picture of our
financial condition for the annual
meeting in January at which time
we will also have, as the highlight,
the annual election of officers for the
ensuing year.
Fortunate were the many who
jammed the auditorium of the
Youngstown Saxon Club at their
recent WIENER WALLER ABEND at
which time they sponsored the Fall
Singing Festival comprised of Choir
uses from New Castle and our own
Ladies chorus and the host city
choruses. An attentive receptive
audience were captivated by the
stirring singing of the various groups
and it reflects well for the host club
to give the Saxon people the rare
treat that was so excellently pre-
pared and presented smoothly and
with dispatch for a very enjoyable
80 minutes. Would that there could
be presented such fine concerts
more often, as it seems lately as
though the choruses are the most
active segments in some clubs and
are receiving more recognition as
well it should be as they spend many
hours of practice and take care Of
all their financial obligations just tc
entertain us and for their own en-
joyment. The local chorus is in need
Of more members and are appeal
ing to all women interested in group
singing to contact Mitzi Zikeli the
directress. Welcomed as new MEM
bers are Mrs. Michael Schotsch anc
Mrs. Peter Zakel and we are looking
forward for many more as where
else could you spend more pleasant
hour than at practice weekly with
your own Saxon friends?

SICK, W we can.
not depend alone on federal money
to end the shortage Of nurses. What
can We do?
I decided that a new federal
Nurse Bill stands the greatest
chance Of becoming law il it rep
resents the best medical, social and
economic thinking in America to-
day. Therefore, last week I began
sending letters to some 10000 rec
ognized authorities in the United
States. Among them, of course. were
the 48 Governors, Presidents of
State Senates and Speakers Of
State Assemblies, since any new
nurse law will lean heavily upon
state cooperation.
Then I wrote to the American
Nurses Association, and the Amer
ican Medical Association, the vari-
ous professional associations Of
those who administer hospitals
training schools. Public Health Or
ganization, etc. asking for their
advice and opinions.
It Is short letter. and I have
asked these experts the following
questions:
In your opinion Is there q nurs-
ing shortage? In which fields Is the
shortage critical In its effect on
patient care? What are the causes
In order Of Importance? Would the
nursing shortage by SUBSTAN-
TALLY reduced by additional A.
nancial aid to schools? II additional
financial assistance in education Il
necessary. In which fields is it most
needed? Are you opposed to ANY
FORM Of federal financial assist
ance to nursing education? II not

Immediately following Irene's install
lation, the Installing Conductress an
nounced that the red roses on the
pedestal in the East were from the
Saxonia Ladies. After being escorted
to the East, her husband John, the
Installing Soloist sang the blessed
hymn "Open the Gates of the
Bethel" Never before did he sing
with more feeling and religious zest.
lrene's sister-in-law, Mrs. Emma
Beebe (Hallner) was installed as
Chaplain. Emmas prayers were rev.
erently and sincerely given as it was
personal for her too. Other Saxon
women installed were Mrs. Elsie
Gross, Mrs. Tillie Schneider, Mrs.
Hildegarde Zakel and Mrs. Mathilda
Mandy. The hostesses were Mrs.
Marie Stuehler and Mrs. Elsie Letz-
ner - the latter being absent due
to the death of her uncle in Detroit.
1t was touching to see John present
his wife with the emblem of her
authority - white gavel which was
his gift to her.
A telegram sent by Mrs. Emma
Hertel of Pittsburgh was read con-
graduating Irene and also Mrs.
Kezia Doell, who was installed as
Associate Conductress. "Kez" is well
known among our West Side Saxons.
The Worthy Matron, Irene, an
nounced that the motto of the Chap
ter for the ensuing year would be
her confirmation verse - "Be Thou
Faithful unto death and l will give
thee a crown of life"
She also mentioned how thrilled
she was, to be remembered by the
members of the Saxonia and told
the entire group that it was branch
of the Central Verband which also
is a Fraternal Nationality Associa-
ton of which she too is proud to be
affiliated with.
John Hallner sang the Lords
Prayer" which closed the formal
Installation Ceremonies but asked the
Worthy Matron for permission to
read special delivery letter which
he thought was worthy of everyone's
attention. 1t was sent by their Pastor,
Rev. G. A. Voellm and was beauti-
fully written. Everyone was i'm
pressed with his spiritual blessings
and reverend encouraging assurance
that God will see their good works.
Immediately following the installa-
ton ceremonies there was lovely
reception. The place cards were in
scribed with the spiritual scripture
"Be Thou Faithful remem-
brance of Irene's confirmation vow.
Irene, like all of US, through His
Grace has been endowed with men,
tai, spiritual and physical capacities.
She has always exercised these quail
tiles, in His Service and in fellow
ship. She is the daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Rudolph Trinnes of Canton,
Ohio and the wife of John Hallner,
Secretary of the Central Verband.
She has held various offices in all OF
the Saxon organizations. Leadership
is her virtue We Saxons are proud
of her, and our prayers are with
her that she may have very blessed
year. Her loyalty to her Master and
to her Saxon Heritage is commend
able.
Now therefore ye are no more
strangers and foreigners, but fellow
citizens with the saints and of the
| household of God"
