The money was used in part for two orphanages, some was sent to the aid of the homeless in Europe. Largest part of the proceeds was used to practice the motto that charity begins at home. Three U. S. Savings Bonds ($75 each) were presented to the orphans of the recently deceased member — Stephen L#nyi.

The newly-elected officers of Branch 45 in Cleveland took their oath of office at a banquet which was held in their honor. The banquet and inauguration ceremonies were held in the W. S.
