ORDER OF ODD FELLOWS LOYAL HEART OF OAK LODGE. / The fortnightly meeting of Loyal ' Heart of Oak Lodge was held last evening and was presided over by Sister F. I. Eagle. Sick pay amounting to £6 10s and other accounts totalling £lO 15s were passed for payment. Progress reports were received from two members on the sick funds of the Lodge.

A member on active service overseas wrote thanking the Lodge for a Christmas parcel of cigarettes. Correspondence was received from the Grand Secretary regarding the proposed State Medical Service stating that it -would be very unwise for lodges to prejudice in any way the existing arrangements with their doctors. It would be equally unwise for members to go off their doctors’ lists until it is proved beyond any question that they are able to secure a better service under the State scheme than they were receiving at present through their lodges. Matters in connection with the Nelson centenary, which will take place next year, were discussed and it was resolved that the question of securing ■ data for a publication for the occasion be left in the hands of the secretary.
