Who Is Eligible to Hoo-Ffoo?

Read the Revised Rules

One of the most important actions of the House of Ancients and Supreme l.iine was the revision of Clause No. 3 of the By-Laws of the Order, relating to eligibility for membership.

After lengthy consideration and discussion, the -question devolved upon- two '1v61d5-"tumbey'' and "wood"-a5 fhs basis of determining eligibility. It was unanimously agreed that Hoo-Hoo was-founded as a lumber org-anization and that its membership must come from those having the lumber business as their personal occupation.

Past Snark of the lJniverse W. S. Dickason proposed the revised clause which finally was unanimously adopted and which clearly defines those eligible. It is complete and specific.
