370 HISTORY OF OAKLAND COUNTY
Order of Elks is a great favorite among the secret bodies of Pontiac.
The local lodge No. Io was installed November 25, I902, by Exalted
Ruler George W. Dickinson, Charles E. Waldo, secretary. Its new
rooms were occupied in January, I905, and six years later its beautiful
temple was purchased. The lodge now has a membership of 6io, with
the following officers: F. H. Carroll, exalted ruler; F. R. Boyd, leading
knight; J. Byron Judd, lecturing knight; Caslius Bowers, secretary; C.
E. Waldo, treasurer.
OTHER LODGES
The Royal Order of Moose is also constantly gaining ground, although one of the young fraternities. Its standing with the people of
Pontiac was well illustrated by the grand carnival of I912, which
notwithstanding the rather inclement weather, was encouragingly
patronized.
The Knights of Maccabees, Eagles and Modern Woodmen of America also have organizations of more or less strength, and the industrial
workers of the city have numerous unions and associations, some of
which combine both fraternal and insurance features.
