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. Â Â 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
