Finds 10-Year-Old Lodge Receipt in Tour of Cave

Jack Cejnar, 912 Test Bldg., tells this story, and he proves it, too. He was on his vacation in Kentucky recently and made a tour of Mammoth Cave. In one room in the cave, about 300 feet under ground, is a strange rock formation called the “Christmas Tree” because of close resemblance to the Yuletide symbol. The “tree” was discovered about 1865, and it has been the custom since then for visitors to hang a card on one of the little spinet! with their name written on it. The “tree” is covered with the name-cards. Cejnar wrote his name on a card and hung it on the tree, and then he started poking around at the base of the “tree” to see what he could find. Near the bottom of the pile he found an Odd Fellow dues receipt card dated June, 1918. It was made out to Thomas Jones, Dugger, Ind., a member of Oriole Lodge No. 616 of that town. Cejnar brought the ten-year-old card to The Indianapolis Times lodge page editor who turned it over to George P. Bornwasser, State secretary of the I. O. O. F. “Jones can have his card if he tells me the story of how he lost it,” Bornwasser said.

VETERANS MAKE PLANS TO HOLD BANNERPARLEY Convention Here Aug. 26 to Be First in Mid-West Since 1922. The. twenty-ninth annual national convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Indianapolis, Aug. 26 to Sept. 1, will be the first in the Middle West since the 1922 encampment in Detroit, Mich., whets an attendance record was set Since then the meetings have been held in Norfolk, Va.; Atlantic City, N. J.; Tulsa, Okla., and El Paso, Texas. Attendance was heavy from the respective sections, but a general representation could not be obtained. The last meeting was held in Providence, R. 1., the largest since 1922. The greatest number of veterans were from the East coast States. “This year’s attendance is expected to shatter records for all time,” says Henry T. Davis of the Indianapolis Convention Bureau. “The ideal location of Indianapolis with its accessibility from all parts of the country, gives the Middle West another opportunity to duplicate the Detroit convention records." Hotel reservations already made through the convention bureau are an indication of the numbers of doughboys, gobs and marines who will come here. Several tons of decorating material have been shipped into the city by the decoration committee. More than 50,000 persons witnessed the Providence parade last year, according to conservative newspaper estimates, and even more elaborate plans are boing made to handle crowds for the annual parade here. The Imperial Council of the Mystic Shrine of North America brought about 60,000 Shriners and their families to Indianapolis in June of 1919, the largest convention ever held in Indianapolis. More than 15,000 marched in the night parade. The parade of the V. F. W. is expected to number about 20,000.
