DANBURY REPORTER Volume 55. STOKES MAY GET ORPHANS HOME Loyal Order of Moose Con sidering Sites At Moore's and Vade Mecum Springs, Also At White Sulphur Springs. (Elkin Tribune.) The Loyal Order of Moose, fraternal institution with a membership of over 700,000, £is considering the building of a home for orphans, similar to fc he institutions owned by this fraternal order at Moosehart, 111., and Moosehaven, Florida. Officials of the order hav2 been visiting North Carolina with a view to picking out a favorable site somewhere in our Piedmont section, and to .see what advantages this State has to offer. Moosehart is a famous in stitution for the care of tho widows of deceased members c f the Loyal Order of Moose, and for the care, education and training of their orphans. Moosehaven is a similar home for the aged and infirm mem bers and their wives. The in stitution planned for now is to be almost a duplicate of s Moosehart. The order has J. i.-r.ple means to finance an in stitution in this State, and the location of such a training school in North Carolina woul i be a distinct honor and advan tage. This order is being forced to this move, due to the fact that many of their war.ls or children are now being taken care of in various private schools in this and other states, there *nt being room for them at Moosehart, 111. Mountain Park Institute in Surry county is now taking care of two young girls from the Winstor.-Saleii. Lodge. So far, there are three l«»aces being considered for this proposed i.vtitui :on. in Northwest North Carolina. These are Moore's Springs and V'ade Mecum Soring.* in Stoke f ounty and White Sulphur Springs in Surry. It would seem that a spring is essential, and from 500 to 1,000 acres of land.
