FLINT, MICHIGAN Branc 214 CORRECTION In “40th Anniversary Observed by Branch 214,“ the third from the last paragraph of the article expresses appreciation to “the ladies of the Reformed Church who prepared a dinner that was a banquet.” The implication from these words is that only the ladies of the Reformed Church cooked for the anniversary. We now know that their Catholic sisters participated also. Certainly no slight was meant by this omission, an error due to faulty information received. The joint undertakings of our members of all faiths are a credit to the non-sectarian policies practiced by our Association. TERRE HAUTE. IND.
