The patriotic address by Chaplain W. R. Ha1l, U. S. N. was s t ir r in g a n d u p l i fti n g a n d w a s th e feature of the exercises. The vocal solo by Mrs. Hall was much enjoyed. The title of the selection was very appropriate, ".N[y Creed" meaning "My Belief in the American Flag." The excellent music furnished by the Marine Band was one of the outstanding features of the occasion. In the evening a dance was given at the Elks' Home which was enjoyed by the members of the Ord e r and t heir f r ie n d s .
