FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK Dist. III Minutes After Youth Section • • The fall District VI meeting will be held at Sweet Home Sunday, October 22. Attend your district meetings. September 22 — DO Alvin Nesuda of District III held an interesting and educational insurance seminar which was held for the southern portion of District III, with Lodge No. 6, Cottonwood hosting There were several organizers from 8 lodges present. DO Lad Zatopek of District II was a guest and spoke briefly. This was our third opportunit y to attend an insurance seminar in this district.

The man who forms a purpose which he knows to be right and then moves forward to accomplish it without inquiring where it will land him as an individual, and without inquiring what the immediate consequences to himself will be, is a man among men. —Sunshine Messenger and women build greater incomes through broader knowledge and better service.
