DRUIDISM

The first mooting of the new year held by Mistletoe Lodge, Green Island, was attended by a large number of members, Arch Druid Bro. G. Webster presiding. The sick pay was again very small, only two members being on the list. One candidate was initiated. Committee reports were received as follow:—From A.D. Bro. G.. Webster submitting balance-sheet for the 1931 Euchre Committee, and from P.A. Bro. J. Logie, jun., in connection with Christmas tree and balance-sheet for it. A hearty vote of thanks was accorded to the retiring Social and Euchre Committees for their services during the past twelve months. Bro. P. Jacobs (a newly-initiated brother) replied. The A.D. then adjourned the lodge for the purpose of carrying out the syllabus. This took the form of a euchre competition between teams chosen by the A.D. and Vice Arch. A very enjoyable game resulted in the A.D.’s team winning by seven games to three. At the Lodge Otago meeting inward correspondence contained several seasonal greetings from sister lodges and also an intimation that it would bo necessary to conduct a second ballot for the position of D.P. The children’s party which followed was a huge success. Miss Gwen Webster and a party of juvenile pupils gave a very clever and amusing entertainment, and an interesting conjuring act was introduced by a well-known sleight-of-hand exponent. Father Christmas paid a visit during the evening, and concluded the proceedings with the presentation of a suitable toy to each of the children present.
