Royal Neighbors Elect Officers and Board Amid Feud
At the Royal Neighbors convention in Chicago the Collins and Hawes factions battled over adding the supreme oracle and supreme recorder to the executive council. Final unofficial counts show Mary Fay Hawes narrowly defeated. Myra Enright and Susie Beas lead the board of managers, while other officers and terms were decided with reported orderly conduct. Rock Island wins as potential headquarters, Peoria’s bid recedes.
