Lodges in Washington Lay Plans for Great Parade

Lodges throughout the State of Washington are already taking steps to make an unusually large and brilliant showing in the great parade which will feature the Grand Lodge meeting in Portland next July. Honor guards, drill teams, marching clubs, bands and various other units being organized and perfected and the idea of having these uniformly costumed is also under consideration. M. M. Merrill, Captain of the Honor Guard of Seattle Lodge No. 92, has offered to assist any Lodge in the State in organizing a drill team, and his own unit stands ready to demonstrate to any Lodge the effectiveness of such an organization. If Lodges in other States are working on similar plans, the parade in Portland will in all probability surpass the high record made at Boston last July.
