IN MEMORIAM Kekionga lodge 65, Knights of Pythias, in this city, of which the late Judge J. Fred Fruchte was a long-time member and past chan-cellor-commander, has passed the following resolution in his memory: Kekionga Lodge No. 65 has again lost a valuable and cherished member in the death of Brother J. Fred Fruchte, who departed this life at his home in Decatur, Ind., on the sth day of Spetmber, 1947. Brother Fruchte was a loyal and active member of his lodge for many years and was always held in high esteem by his brother Knights. He was a past chancellor commander and at his death held the high office of master of exchequer. He was a noble knight and during his life he always exemplified the teachings of Damon and Pythias. He was a strong adherent of the spirit of justice, benevolence, and freedom. A more charitable man never lived. He chose as his vocation in life the profession of law and was graduated from the Indianapolis college of law. He entered the practice in Decatur, serving as prosecuting attorney for two terms from 1915 to 1919, also serving as city attorney for thirteen years and as judge of the Adams circuit court since January 1, 1939. His record as a jurist was above reproach and he maintained the respect and good will of all who knew him. The legal profession has lost a member who has been a credit to the profession, and his lodge a stalwart brother. His struggle of mortal existence has ended by the inevitable decree of his Master and he has been called from the turmoil of things temporal to the peace of life eternal. He is missed by all. Because of these things, we cling to the memory of the pleasant association with our brother. He Is not dead; he is only called from life unto life; from labor unto rest; from turmoil unto peace. As members of Kekionga Lodge No. 65, we as Brother Knights, extend our sympathy to his bereaved wife and daughter. Therefore be it resolved, that Kekionga lodge has lost a true and faithful member and the community a splendid citizen. Be it therefore further resolved that a copy of this memorium be spread of record on the record book of this lodge and that a copy be furnished and given his bereaved wife and daughter. Fred V. Mills, Daniel G. Christen, Myles F. Parrish. Committee. Canal Zig-Zags The Pacific entrance to the Panama canal is actually more easterly than the Atlantic entrance, according to the Encyclopaedia Britannica. The canal does not go, as is generally supposed, from east to west. Instead, it runs due south, turns sharply east and then follows a southeasterly course. TOILET WATER 4 oz.
