M u c h Benefit .

At the annual meeting of Court Gou­vemeur No. 620, Independent Ordef of Foresters held Monday evening the fol­lowing officers were elected for the en­suing year: Chief Ranger, Robert L. Kinney; past chief ranger, P. W. Fin-negan; court physician, Dr. AT H. Al­len; court deputy, J. A. Cummings; vice chief ranger, G. E. Morgan; re­cording secretary, A. G.

Bickford; trustees, W. 0 . Munger and P. W. Finnepan; finance commit­tee. Clarence Bailey and J. C. Jackson: captain guard of honor, George CottreII Following the election the question of organizing a Foresters local relief fund was taken up and moet fully discussed, this in addition to the sick, funeral, total disability, old age and death benefits now given by the supreme Court of the 1. (). F. This move had been agitated for some time past by Chief Ranger Kinney and others of the Court as it was believed that the relief funds of the organization, those given outside the regular channels, could be distributed to far better advantage through a board of directors chosen for the express purpose. The discussion had not proceeded far before it was found that the membership was un­animous for the adoption of the new departure and the following directors were chosen; R. L. Kinney, P. W. Finnegan, Clarence Bailey, E. R. Fredenburg and W. A. Ferran, Mr. Kinney was chosen president, Mr. Bailey secretary and Mr. Firmegan treasurer. It is proposed to adopt by­laws at once and to open a separate bank account with a new set of books. The books have already been secured and the committee on by-laws will be ready within a day or two to report.

It is understood that the local £ourt is the first in the country to inaugurate this new department which will depend wholly upon the members to keep up but there is little doubt but what suc­cess will be theirs as the undertaking haa been launched with plenty of en­thusiasm behind it. Chief Hanger Kinney and his able lieutenants will give their new undertaking their best efforts, confident that through this channel they/ will be better able to serve deserving members and in this they will have the best wishes of the public generally.
