Welcome back!

Ktemaque Lodge #15 issued a neckerchief to its members who attended the 2010 Section NE-7B Conclave earlier this year. Note the 15 embroidered into the neckerchief.

Ktemaque Lodge #15 N4

Since this was issued to Ktemaque Lodge members, it is considered a lodge issue rather than a section one, but I will add it to the conclave page as well.

The Blue Book stats for this one should be:
N4 - BLK P GRY - BLK BSA; EMB RED outline WHT 15, WHT 2010 NE-7B Conclave Camp Ranachqua, TMR

One of my acquisitions from the Central New York TOR last weekend was a neckerchief slide from the 1955 Area 2-E Conclave. The 1955 Conclave was hosted by Ganeodiyo Lodge #417 and held at their Camp Babcock Hovey.

Mike Hulsizer says there were two varieties for the neckerchief slide. With and without camp fires alongside the tepee.    This is the no fire version which he believes may be the staff issue.

I need the other variety.

The OA Section List the following lodges were in Area 2-E at the time:

• Ty-Ohni Lodge #95
• Ganosote Lodge #159
• Chautauqua Lodge #165
• Tuscarora Lodge #284
• Amo’chk Lodge #339
• Tuighaunock Lodge #409
• Wakanda Lodge #186 (to 2-H in 1956)
• Ganeodiyo Lodge #417 (to 2-H in 1956)

“America faces a new culture war. This is not the culture war of the 1990s. It is not a fight over guns, gays or abortion. Those old battles have been eclipsed by a new struggle between two competing visions of the country’s future. In one, America will continue to be an exceptional nation organized around the principles of free enterprise–limited government, a reliance on entrepreneurship and rewards determined by market forces. In the other, America will move toward European-style statism grounded in expanding bureaucracies, a managed economy and large-scale income redistribution. These visions are not reconcilable. We must choose.” – Arthur C. Brooks, The Washington Post, May 23, 2010

“I am for doing good to the poor, but…I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. I observed…that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer.” – Benjamin Franklin
