In January of this year, Attorney W., Lloyd Hibbs, of Cresson, was admitted to the firm which is now known as Leech, Leech & Hibbs, Attorney Leech was always active in the affaisr of the Republican party of the county and state, and several times was honored by his party throu- xh election and appointment. He was elected district attorney of Cambria county in 1904 and served two terms. In 1915 the legislature passed the present Workmen's Compensation Act and created a State Workmen's Compensation Board composed of 3 members. The first board created un- der this Act was composed of Harry A. Mackey, the present Mayor of Philadelphia, chairman; John A. Scott of Indiana, and James W.

This was two vears before the custom was recognized by Act of Congress. The institution of Mothers’ Day is part of a broad sentimental and so- cial welfare program of the F. O, E,, whose fundamental precept has ways been “Protect the Home.” The keystone of the home is, liter- ally, mother. So, to meet their fullest obligations, Eagles have done, and are doing, everything in their power to keep the family circle unbroken, and to help mothers care for their children, especially in times of illness and want. They have never lost sight of that object. With it in mind they have urged Workmen’s Compensation Laws, primarily in the interests. of mothers and children, for these are the real victims when the bread win- ner ig brought home in an ambulance. As long ago as 1898 the Order pro- vided for the services of a physician for members of their order and their immediate families. The physician’s fees were paid from the common tre- asury. In the event of sickness, an Eagle received a substantial sum of money. These two policies, still in force, are the foundation upon whick the beneficial features of the Frater- nal Order of Eagles are built.
