| Elkader Knights of Columbus,
Tenth Anniversary Sunday was an important day in the history of the local council of the Knights of Columbus, for they were celebrating the tenth anniversary of the inception of the council. Members from the councils at Ossian, Waukon, Oelwein, Cresco, New Hampton and Charles City were in attendance to witness the exemplification of the three degrees for sixteen candidates of the order. The exemplification of the degrees in the afternoon was followed by a banquet and program in the evening at which some addresses of a high order were heard. A pleasing feature of the banquet was the reception of a spray of red carnations presented by Elkader lodge, No. 72, A.F. & A.M., in commemoration of the tenth anniversary. Elkader council No. 2209, Knights of Columbus had its inception July 25, 1920, when 26 members of the order from various parts of the county met here and decided to apply for a charter for a local council. The charter was granted the following October and the growth of the local council has been a steady one since that time.
But few changes have been made in the official personnel. the council has but one past grand knight. The honor of holding office for the longest period of time belongs to J.J. Finnegan, who served as financial secretary for nine years and is at present the chancellor of the council. M.J. Poull has made an able grand knight and the order has prospered during his regime. Candidates taking the work here Sunday afternoon were:
