state headquarters here is in
creasing at a rapid rate. State
Secretary Griffin has issued over
one hundred' new local charters
since November 1. The mini

cure a charter being 15, this
means an increase of 1,500 new
members added to the order from
new charters alone. Besides,
there are many new members
that have been added to the old
locals during the same period.
Mr. Griffin estimates that not less
than 3,000 have been added to
the order in the last thirty days.
