Monthly bulletin of Berkeley Lodge, No. 1002 There was a manifest inten tion on the part of the whole com munity to give their visitors their best and without any gouging, for the prices for rooms, food or other refreshments did not soar away up into the empy rean blue, but one could enjoy life, lib erty and the pursuit of happiness for a moderate expenditure of Uncle Sam's dollars. W. A. Bonavita, exalted ruler No. 1065, Clifton Forge, Va. You fellows certainly did crown yourselves with glory and give us a good time. People, Town, Hotels Lauded. J. E. Martin, Fort Wayne, Ind. The writer was one of 125 from this section of Indiana that had the opportunity to attend the last convention and I take this way of complimenting your lodge and city on the royal way In which wa were entertained from start to finish. The system was perfect, the hotel were first-class, the people as a whole showed, a spirit of welcome that could not be beat, the town was beautifully decorated and the streets were clean. The only fault that we could find was that you failed to notify us on the of ficial programme that the Pendleton, "Let 'Er Buck" boys were to ride their ponies in the elevators of the club and different hotels, as it surely would have been a treat If we had seen this stunt pulled off. I hope to see your city again In '15 and must admit that the Far West is the only place to hold a National convention. Charles A.
