Lodge 1T Membership
Should Cooperate More

Los Angeles, Calf. - The
close of the year brings with
it the necessity for our men,
bers of CFU Lodge III to
pause and take stock of their
Lodge and it's social and fl
nancial status.
We must be made to realize
that it is up to us to make
our Lodge function properly,
through mutual cooperation
from each and every affiliate.
It is necessary that each
member pays his monthly
dues regularly and it is far
easier to fork over one pay
ment than when it accumu-
lates for a period Of two and
three months.
Those of you who have not
received your annual divi-
dends as yet, please send in
your dues book to the secre-
tary and have this sum re-
corded. If there is any unpaid
balance in your book, we will
naturally deduct this from
the amount of the dividend.
One more thing before we
close, and that is that many
of our members have moved
during the year and have not
notified the secretary of the
change in address.

once again issue that familiar

resent or support the activi.
ties which come up from time
to time. We need the entire
membership to do the job up
right.
We have an important item
up for discussion at this ses-

ing of our Lodge Hall. All
hands must be on deck for a
decision on this vital issue.
Members, we need help and
loads of it. Let us not sit back
! with that II don't care" atti-
tude and let things go to pot.
This is 1865 and not 1925, so
let's wake up and get the fra

ing next Sunday.
Should the session last a
little longer than usual, the
Lodge will furnish refresh
ments right after the meeting
