Smith, A. D. Worthington.
Bro. A. Pepper was then requested to present, on behalf of the branch, a framed emblem with photo, to Bro. P.N.F. A. J. Ford in recognition of his services while filling all the positions. Bro. Ford suitably responded, thanking the lodge for the gift, stating he would still endeavour to work for the welfare of the branch.
