I had previously written about the Section NE-2B 1990 Conclave. I recently acquired a staff neckerchief issued for the event. Since it was not pictured in the earlier post, I’m showing it here and will add it to the original.

“No compact among men … can be pronounced everlasting and inviolable, and if I may so express myself, that no Wall of words, that no mound of parchment can be so formed as to stand against the sweeping torrent of boundless ambition on the one side, aided by the sapping current of corrupted morals on the other.” —George Washington (1789)

I had previously written about a new 75th Anniversary flap from Ho-De-No-Sau-Nee Lodge #159. While it is not the 75th Anniversary for Ho-De-No-Sau-Nee Lodge #159 yet, it will be the 75th Anniversary of the oldest predecessor lodge Ganosote #159 in 2014. So it will be the 75th Anniversary of the Order of the Arrow in the Buffalo NY area.

There were actually two two versions, a Green Border numbered 1-50 and the yellow bordered version numbered 51-300. I have updated the numbering to reflect this change.

Ho-De-No-Sau-Nee Lodge #159 75th Anniversary Green Border S52

The stats are:
S52 – GRN R M/C – GRN FDL; RED Lodge 159 Since 1939 YEL 75 Years PUR WWW numbered 1-50

This is the second of two issues from Otahnagon Lodge #172 in celebration of the 100th Anniversary of the Order of the Arrow in 2015. I wrote up the first one here. This one celebrates both the 100th Anniversary of the OA as well as the 75th Anniversary of Otahnagon Lodge #172.

“[T]he present Constitution is the standard to which we are to cling. Under its banners, bona fide must we combat our political foes — rejecting all changes but through the channel itself provides for amendments.” –Alexander Hamilton

This is the first of two new issues from Otahnagon Lodge #172, this one is in celebration of their 75th Anniversary in 2015.

Here is a scan of the recently released 75th Anniversary flap from Otahnagon Lodge #172 from their recent Winter Dinner.

As you can see it is a white ghost version of their regular design with 75 years and Winter Dinner added.

I previously wrote about the final banquet for Aquehongian Lodge #112 which took place a couple of weekends ago.

The end of an important 75-year piece of Boy Scouting history on Staten Island was marked Saturday in the Staten, West Brighton.

Aquehongian Lodge 112 of the Order of the Arrow, Boy Scouts of America, celebrated both its 75th anniversary and the end of its tenure as a full, independent lodge.

At the Banquet, two final flaps were issued. The second was more limited and given only to the LEC/Banquet
Committee:

Anyone have one for trade?

The important point is that the political ideals of a people and its attitude toward authority are as much the effect as the cause of the political institutions under which it lives. This means, among other things, that even a strong tradition of political liberty is no safeguard if the danger is precisely that the new institutions and policies will gradually undermine and destroy that spirit. … F.A.
