Marks 650, Year
As An Oddrellow
One of the oldest living mem-
bers of the Independent Order of
Oddfellows, Gavin Hamilton Green,
of Goderich, reached another
important milestone on Sunday.
He marked the 65th anniversary of
his initiation into the Oddfellows.
It was on May 20, 1891, that he
was accepted into Western Star
Lodge, No. 11, at Carberry, Mani-
toba, and he was made a lite mem-
ber in 1950.
He has a vivid recollection of
the time in 1898 when he was a
delegate to theGrand Lodge of
Mwnitob'a, which met in. Winnipeg.
While there, all of the Grand
Lodge officers and delegates were
given the Rebekah degree by 'the
Rebekahs of Lodge No. 1, of Win-
nipeg. Their costumes and the
degree work 'were beautiful and
Mr. Green says he can still pic-
ture the colorful: scene tp this day.
He has a confession to nia.ke,
however. "The nice Rebekahs ex-
pelled me years ago for non-pay-
ment of dues," he says, "and I
admire them for it."
If there are any Oddfellows who
have been members for 65 years
or more in Ontario or Manitoba,
Mr. Green would like to hear from
them so he can exchange greetings.
