Durham, Aug. 10—Cornerstone for the branch orphans’ home now being erected by the Junior Order of North Carolina at Lexington, N.C., will be laid Wednesday afternoon, August 19, at 2:30 o’clock, according to the program which has just been announced. The event promises to be one of the most important and largely attended in the history of the Order in this state. Attended by members of the National Council, who will take an active part in the exercises, and by hundred of Juniors from all sections of the Old North State, the event will be one of the more than passing interest and significance.
The exercises at Lexington will be the principal feature of the annual meeting of the State Council which convenes in Winston-Salem on Tuesday, August 18th, for a three-day session. The trip from Winston-Salem to Lexington will be made by automobile with the Winston-Salem Juniors being hosts for the trip. The convention will have other interesting features as well. The past year has been a very successful one of the Junior Order in this state. While the membership will not show the increase hoped for it, the growth has been excellent. The record has been kept down through the purging of the records of the Order of those members who are not taking the proper amount of interest in it as shown by their attendance at lodge meetings and in otherwise contributing to the successful operation of the councils. . . . .
