Forty-two of the 46 Lodges in Michigan were recently represented at a meeting at the Home of Detroit (Mich.) Lodge, No 34, to discuss the proposal made by Exalted Ruler James Bonar to form all the drill squads of the State into one regiment organized along the plans of the National Guard unit. The proposal met with ready response from the other Lodges and the Michigan delegation to the Grand Lodge convention in Boston in July will present a spectacle such as never has been seen before at a national convention of the Order. The Exalted Rulers and Secretaries of the 42 Lodges who attended the meeting were unanimous in declaring the idea the best ever put forward to enhance interest in the convention. The desi^ for the uniform has been adopted and a solid regiment will represent all of Michigan, united as never before. William W. Mountain, Past Grand Exalted Ruler, and Judge Clarence M. Browne, District Deputy Grand Exalted Ruler, were present, and brought word from the Grand Lodge that its officers-were in favor of the regiment and were watching the development of the idea with great interest.
