In Juneau, as in most towns and cities through
out the Nation, numerous fraternal organizations
through unselfish service add much to making life
worth living. They contribute to happiness in their ;
social affairs, by releasing many from humdrum 1
boredom of work-a-day life. Through their rituals
hey inspire ideals of great spiritual value. Through
untiring, unselfish service to their members and
others in times of sickness, death, misfortune and
adversity, their service alleviates suffering, is a
source of new hope for the distressed, and brings
cheer, happiness, the desire ot carry on, and a:
mutual, sympathetic understanding, that makes the
server as well as the served grow in spiritual stature.
In Juneau, the Masonic bodies, the Moose, the
Eagles, the Knights of Columbus, the American
Legion. I. O. O. F., Pioneers of Alaska, and the
B. P. O. E., and ladies auxiliaries, month in and
month out are giving fully in service to mankind,
quietly, modestly effectively.
Tonight, Juneau. Alaska, Lodge No. 420, B. P. O.
Elks, whose membership is approximately 550. is
observing an annual Roll Call. It is a fitting time
for this .community to reflect on the many good
deeds and services that the B. P. O. E. give to
this commuinty throughout the year, and to wish
them success for a well attended and happy roll
call, and further to let them know that the com
munity is cognizant, and appreciative of their fine
ervice, year in and year out.
MAYBE IT’S THE GULLS.
