UNCERTAIN FUTURE
THE FRIENDLY SOCIETIES
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, October 3. . "The greater benefits have been taken away from us. It will be very difficult for friendly societies to proi j?r«ss when the Social Security Act comes into force,"said the Grand Master, Bro. H. Clarke, New Zealand leader of the Independent Order of Oddfellows at the diamond jubilee celebrations of Washington Lodge at Spreydon tonight. "The New Zealand executive has discussed the scheme and has discovered that it will be very hard for friendly societies to get more members. A lodge must gradually go if no young members are ready to come in. We will have to try to induce them in with something other than the benefits afforded." j
