TEXAS (Continued from Page 20.) was elected as Sister White's alternate. The visiting members were royally entertained while here, and spared no means of showing their appreciation. It SO happened that upon the day of their arrival West End Council was holding one of our regular joint meetings, and a large crowd was present to enjoy this monthly feature of all the councils of Houston. Those in attendance at the district convention were: Brothers Urban and Black, San Antonio; Brother Patton, Austin; Dr. and Mrs.

Harris, Galveston; Sisters, White, Hayman, Sharman and Brother White, Houston. We wish to call the attention of our brethren throughout the state of Texas to the wonderful record made by Houston Council for the first three months of the present year, as set forth on the front page of our magazine last month. To be told that we led the entire United States in securing new members in the first quarter is just cause to express our pride. And we are still climbing. Fifteen candidates were initiated at our meeting on May 6, and forty-three FOR CHANGE OF ADDRESS The mailing lists are kept in the office of the national secretary.

"Now, boys," said the teacher, "one more question: Can anyone give me a sentence with the term 'weather-beaten' "Sure!" said Reddy Backrow: "Me old man roots for the Giants whether beaten or not." applications read. Our financier informs us that our report for the month of April shows over 800 members, and we can now see the 1,000 mark very distinctly before us. For several years past the members of Houston Council have felt that at an early day our council, thought would this be the was an largest idle in dream, Houston. but if such it was, that dream has come true, and we are out to head Texas' Big Ten, and we here and now give our friends over in Amarillo fair warning that their sojourn at the top of the said list will be short lived, so they had better make the best of their position now, while they can.

We're out to win and win we will, or bust. Brother and Sister White, our district managers, are extending their field of action. On last Tuesday they chaperoned a party of members to Humble for the purpose of initiating a large class. However, owing to the death of the father of the financier of that council, who is known to the entire population of that thriving little oil town, many of those who were to be taken into the order remained away out of respect to her, but they will be ready for us again on next Tuesday, and of course we will be there. There were twenty-eight members ot Houston Council who attended last Tuesday, and there will be a still larger attendance next Tuesday.

Humble is about twentymiles from Houston, and while the are not the best, they are However, bad roads nor anything back the members of Houston Council when there is a chance of doing something for the good of our grand order. The meeting and initiation on next Tuesday will be in charge of the officers of Houston Council. A degree staff will also be present to aid in the initiation. We spoke of another banquet in our last communication our paper, which was to be given by Brother and Sister White if we secured 200 or more members, when one of our national officers be present to give us the moving picture initiation again. The members were 80 impressed with the last exhibition that they can hardly await the time when the national officer will be able to return.

We predict a much larger attendance at the next initiation than at the one held on February 19. The required 200 members has been secured by the members, and it is possible that a larger class than the last one will be present for initiation. GALVESTON: Well, now, don't get excited. It is only a short letter from Imperial Council No. 3023, to let you folks know that we are not dead nor asleep.

We have been having our meetings as usual and have written up a few members. Now that spring has opened, we are going to get real busy and see just what we can do. Imperial Council did better than some of our sister councils. We sent Sister Haries to Houston, Texas, as delegate to the state convention, and Sister Tholen as alternate. Brother Haries also attended the convention.

We wish to say that the convention was a success in every way. Brothers Black, Urban and Patton made talks which were enjoyed very much by everyone. Brother and Sister White did everything that they could to make the delegates have a pleasant time while there. Brother Patton, the new district manager, will be here in a few weeks and no doubt he will give us some new ideas. OREGON (Continued from Page 9.) members twice each month and holding regular business meetings twice each month.

BEAVERTON: What's the matter with Beaverton? There is nothing the matter with Beaver Council No. 2874. It has only been sleeping, but Brother Smith has been trying to wake the remaining few members out of their Rip Van Winkle sleep, and has succeeded in lining up a fine class of new members. April 28 the famous degree staff of Kirkpatrick Council visited Beaverton to assist in the initiation of sixteen new recruits, equally divided between men and women. One week later sixteen more candidates were ready for the goat.

New officers have been elected and installed and the council is now ready for the progressive list. The trip to Beaverton by the team was one of pleasure and joy to all. They came the twelve miles in autos over the great Twilligar boulevard. Crossing the Twilligar mountain by moonlight is one of the most inspiring trips imaginable. After the meeting four new officers were elected: Financier, Mrs.

Hazel Hill; secretary, Dr. C. E. Mason; president, Lewis R. Dean; conductor, Mary E.

Young. We were then served with ice cream and cake in the dining hall, after which the Portland delegation started on their return trip to their respective homes over the mountain highway. MT. HOOD: At the regular meeting of Mt. Hood Council No.

8374 on March 31, several of the members requested District Manager L. M. Thomas to send us a good live deputy to help we few members rustle in some new members. Mr. Thomas picked Brother W.

J. Hopfer, his assistant deputy, and since April 2, we have initiated 26 members. We have surely found out there is no limit to what some deputies can accomplish with the assistance of some of the few members we had and also assistance from new members. The faithful few remaining members were surely getting pretty tired of coming to our hall and having to wait patiently for enough members to come to constitute a quorum 80 we could hold a meeting. It surely looked good at our meeting of April 13 to see four long tables filled where heretofore one table was scarcely full.

By taking in 80 many new members we hope soon to have new blood enough to keep the ball rolling. Mt. Hood Council No. 3374 has many good reasons for gaining in membership and by April 20 we expect to initiate some ten or fifteen more. On April 7 we initiated nine beneficial and three social members, and on April 18 we initiated thirteen beneficial and one social member.

With the kindness of several sisters and brothers of other councils we have been able to put through some fine initiatory work and WE. sure thank them all for their assistance. We think you will hear from us again soon with more of our success..
