RED MEN
NEWS

This being the first news column
for this year, it's sort of hard as to
say first and it is a little late to
say Happy New Year, but there
is one thing you can be sure of, you
can be proud to belong to the I'M
proved Order of Red Men and De-
gree of Pocahontas.
The wonderful friendship among
the members is loyal and each one
is always ready to go out of his or
her way to do what ever is asked of
them and help each other, but after
all, friendship is one of their mot
tos. They pull together to help
others like the Girl Scouts, the
Civil Defense program, Chest X
Ray Drive and have a beautiful
home for the aged members known
as "The Red Mems Fraternal
Home" in Middletown. This alone
is worth belOning to the organiza-
tior because we all get old and we
have to have place to stay and a
lot of us don't like to 0e a burden
on others and the members that
are in the home are happy and con-
tented. Many other things are done
and much is being planned for this
year and it seems this will be a
great year for both Red Men and
Pocahontas. Why not join the Red
Men or the Degree of Pocahontas
and enjoy their wonderful friend
ship? We welcome you, rich or
poor.
