The sick committee faithfully remembered the sick from time to time, and at Christmas boxes and gifts were sent to the shut- s. There were a number of lnltln- tions and scarlet degrees held and although it is regretable that some of the active members have mov- ed away for a time it is pleasing to note, they are always able to keep in close contact with the lodge. Among those recently visit- ing at some of our meetings were Mrs. Catherine MacDougaii of Moncton and Mrs. Julia Hall now residing in ylalifax.
