Fresno, Calif, Lodge Has Large Initiation and Barbecue

Fresno, Calif., Lodge No. 439 recently conducted an interesting initiation of a class of over 70 candidates at Big Creek, a small town within its jurisdiction. The ceremony, held at the local theatre, was followed by a large banquet and a fine entertainment. The next day, a barbecue was held at a spot seven miles away, close to one of the large construction jobs of the Southern California Edison Company. The members were provided with a special train by the Company and were taken through the great tunnel which is one of the features of the construction. Nearly 400 members attended the initiation and the barbecue. Fresno Lodge recently played host to about 400 boys of the city, giving them an outing on the San Joaquin River outside of the city. Running, swimming and other athletic contests for prizes were on the day's program.
