chanics Thursday night sow 1,078
candidates initiated into the order in
JIrem Temple. It was one of the
largest groups ever received at one

’ points as far south as Berwick and
as far west as Sayre. - Degree team

outh, exemplified the ritual, the work
of the team members being letter
perfect.
The class was named in honor of
Fred W. Ellis, of Kingston, a mem-
ber of Willow Grove Council, 139, of
Luzerne, since Decemmer 1, 1887. Mr.
"Ellis has been one of the most active
members in the order and for the
last six years ‘has held the -chair-
manship of Luzerne County Juniors’
executive committee. < For two terms
‘he was national representatives.
Because of My. Ellis’ membership
in Willow Grove Council, that unit
was designated by special = dis-
pensation from State Councilor
Gomer D. Lewis, of Jermyn to hold
the class initiation in the temple.
Included among the State officers
attending were Mr. Lewis; Charles
Yahres of Pittsburgh, State vice
councilor; Charles H. Hall of Phila-
“delphia, State secretary. Each of
these made brief addresses. The
main address was given by Judge W.
A. Valentine, who spoke eloquently on |
the order as a power for good, its
work branching out in many ways
with but the one goal ever foremost
~~ —good citizenship.
Thursday night’s class is but one
omit) ‘being | accepted into the. order:
throughout the State during what is
known as World Peace, Jubilee
membership drive. The drive had
its inception in the early part of
October and continued unabated un-
til Monday night. Intense rivalry
was rampant between the various
councils and individuals for the
handsome prizes which were award-
‘ed last night.

Charge for
Checking Accounts
Creates Discussion
—:0:i—
The ‘action of all banks that clear
through the Wilkes-Barre Clearing
House in charging fifty cents each
month for checking service on all
check accounts whose balance docs
not average one hundred dollars has
been the main topic of discussion
about town the past week.
Various comments have been heard
both pro and con but we think the
majority of the people do not object
to this charge as long as they receive
service. Not only that, but banks
can create better feeling in them-
selves, better business and more clos-
er relations with their depositors by
what is known as banking courtesies.
We always believe that one receives
what one pays for.
