Salisbury, N.C., May 19—Several hundred members are expected to attend the annual meeting of the Piedmont Log Rolling association which convenes here on Wednesday, May 28, according to officials of the local camp of the Woodmen of the World, which is a part of association. Several counties in the Piedmont section are covered by the association.
The meeting was due to be held at East Spencer, it was explained, but because of the lack of facilities to accommodate the large number of members expected, the Rosewood Camp Number 175 has joined with the east Spencer Camp Number 2339 in acting as host to the visitors.
There will be large classes of candidates here to be initiated, it was said, several from each camp of the Piedmont section, but with Charlotte leading in number.
The program will consist of several social functions and business meetings as well as exhibition drills, besides the secret meetings and initiations. There will also be an open meeting to which the public is invited. The Knights of Pythias have given the use of their hall to the Woodmen and all meetings will be held there, it is said.
The address of welcome will be delivered by W.M. Ruth, of this city, and the response will be made by D.E. Henderson of Charlotte. Mr. Ruth is head counsel for the North Carolina Woodmen and Mr. Henderson is head advisor of the state division. The three addresses will be made at the public meeting which will be presided over by LeRoy A. Smith.
The business session will be held at 2:30 p.m., to be followed by an automobile ride about the city and vicinity. At 6 p.m. the Kannapolis Camp, which is reputed to have a “crack team” will give an exhibition drill on the courthouse square. A dutch supper will be served at the conclusion of the exhibition drill. The initiations of the candidate classes will be held later in the evening.
