Annual Announcement

Titled " 'Saturday Night' Slanders the Intelligent Citizenry of Canada" by PM Richards with respects to KKK-K. Explains that "Saturday Night" claims KKK-K has been "getting money from unwary and unintelligent citizens of Ontario", and "campaigning vigorously" for members in the "less sophisticated districts of Ontario". Accused KKK-K of appealing to the "basest instincts of the human race ... religious and racial prejudices, and later the sadistic tendency to delight in the suffering of others". Article continues to say that all these accusation is an insult to the klan and to general Canadians.

Title reads: "To All Geni, King and Major Kleagles, Kleagles, Imperial Representatives, and Citizens of the Invisible Empire". Reads as "Greeting", then points following generally about enquiries made on a Gilbert of Petterboro Ont who was taken into custody recently in connection with some "unlawful transactions". Points out that this man was not accepted into the Klan when he applied last summer, but later became a member of the "K.K.K. of B.E.", and when this group rejoined their main group, he was again refused to be a member, as they are "not after numbers", and do not want "dead weight". Mentions elsewhere in the bulletin a Funeral Ceremony and buying official Klan books. Also mentions recent news in daily papers that one or two Popes have recently commented on "ugly things about the Klan movement", but that they expected this. "Each knock is a boost for us and calls the attention of thousands to the work we are doing. men think for themselves these days. One paper said we Protestants can never and will never "STICK TOGETHER". This shows they do not know the Klan. It has often been true in the past that our Protestant movements have broken up into segments, small groups, and have thus destroyed their usefulness [...] But such men are not real Klansmen, but are real enemies to the cause of Protestantism. The Klan "MOVEMENT" is primarily a world movement, and is national in each country. In "UNION" there is strength. No, the Klan will never be broken up for those who have such ideas will be put out of the movement by the local groups. It is time we protestants are learning this exceedingly important fact. Let us keep "PETTY JEALOUSIES" out of this great cause. Keep the one big thing constantly before our eyes ... IN CANADA THIS IS A NATIONAL MOVEMENT ... one big army with one objective. Victory is sure but we must keep step and forward march". Mentions how strong their cooperation has made their movement recently, and how the Klan movement is doubtless the "greatest movement of the age", the "last work in Anglo-Saxon-Protestant organization", the "last instrument of righteousness". On the back of bulletin lists the "duties of officers".

S Lord was in Winnipeg, Regina, Edmonton, and Vancouver this month, and their membership grows; Three, That on May 23 is a "great demonstration" in Huron County; Four, that on May 23, is the Lord's Day, "we shall gather about the Fiery Cross.

But above all WORK THE PLAN. Each Terror must perfect himself and herself in the work assigned"; Eight, that "idealism, insight and philosophy underlying the Invisible Empire constitutes the last thought in Anglo-Saxon, Protestant progress. Our principles are hoary with age and are commensurate with Israel's, (Anglo-Saxon_ struggle for rightful, human liberty. [...] Do not pass lightly over these teachings. Think them through. Put them into practice. The Klan is not "Ritual Bound" [...] Invisible Empire is found in "THE HOLLOW SQAURE" or "OPEN QUADRATE". The Quadrate was first used in Human history by Moses following a plan show him from Heaven. At the Exodus, the twelve tribes were formed about an open quadrate, three tribes to the corner. [...] The Ark of the Covenant was placed on the altar in the centre of the Quadrate, Moses stood at the centre of the Quadrate line -open space. The other three sides of the Quadrate were filled in by the twelve tribes. Our Klaverns are perfect quadrates - Hollow Squares. No one ever passes between the altar, the Ark of (our) Covenant and the station of the Exalted Cyclops. [...] Great Britain, long centuries ago, adopted the Quadrate, hollow square, as the basis of her offensive army formation. The Klan is symbolically following Moses to freedom. Following the Quadrate idea, K-UNO is a quadrate of quadrates in its fundamental principles and teaching. [...] The sign of the Quadrate [...] same as the sign of "KLANISHNESS" and also the sign of "KLAN LOYALTY". The sign is made by closing the fist of the right hand and placing it over the heart, then by closing the fist of the left hand and placing it over the elbow of the right arm. This forms a perfect quadrate in all men. This sign is made at all opening ceremonies, at all funerals, at all public demonstrations and is made and held in all Klan parades. [...] The quadrate revealed, both Kloranically and philosophically, is as follows: Dedicated in (1) body (2) mind (3) spirit (4) life; Dedicated to (1) our country (2) our klan (3) our homes (4) each other (humanity); Our Program (1) one of chivalry (2) one of humanity (3) one of justice (4) one of patriotism; Our Spirit: (1) honor (2) chivalry (3) industry (4) love; this completes the quadrate of quadrates for K-UNO [...] Take the principle of klannishness alone. The application of this fundamental principle in actual, practical demonstration, is a quadrate. We have sworn practice klannishness: (1) socially (2) physically (3) morally (4) vocationally; Our Ark of the (our) Covenant is composed of the following which constitute our sacred altar. They are: (1) the flag (2) the bible (3) the sword (4) the water; Our oath (Covenant) pledges protection to this Ark. We shall protect these even unto death. The symbolism will be further unfolded in Bulletin #30. The Ladies of the Ku Klux Klan of Kanada will understand these Bulletins apply to them also."
