Personal Bulletin

Titled "Personal Bulletin", addressed to "All Genii, Imperial Representatives, King and Major Kleagles, Kleagles and Klanswomen in Canada". Addressing recent questions about the "Second Order of Klankraft -Knights Kamelia -as to its rightful authority", desires to explain their history. Outlines the historical background of the Knights Kamelia, starting from its copyright in 1927 by C. Lewis Fowler, who was then the Imperial Kligrapp of the Order of Klankraft in Canada. Then, two groups of the Klan in Canada amalgamated, and Fowler became Imperial Wizard. He then set up his own official body and adopted his own methods of procedures, but Mr. fauve soon claimed that Fowler could not do this work. The copyright document is in Toronto Headquarters but requires further certification. Therefore, any attempt to delegate authority to Knights Kamelia is in violation of the copyright privileges. Document signed by C. Lewis Fowler and J.H. Hawkins.

Begins in 1928 with their "amalgamation" of four "map klans" in Canada to form a "National Klan in the country".

Lists a few towns across Canada while speaking about importance of "home", "church", "the cause", "fraternity", "blood", "Anglo-Saxon", "Yuletide", and "Protestantism". Also concerned by "tyranny and education in an old fashion God fearing home", the "suffering from a yellow press and yellow literature", wanting the "medieval vow of poverty, compared to today's craze for money, which aspires gunman and thuds and gamblers". Calls for a "sexual standard" and "stress obedience". In general, insisting to believe in the British Empire, because by default one would also believe in Christianity. Also believing in the British and Christianity along with the United Nations will prevent a second World War. Includes a song by William V Newson for "Canadian Opportunities Magazine".

Official Document

Titled "Official Document", "Suggestions to Arouse Interests". Purpose of message is to give idea to stimulate attendance and interest of Klansmen and Klanswomen, as well as to increase quality and numbers in their membership. For instance, to form a cabinet so officers can have sense of responsibility of the success of the Klavern, to appoint members to report at regular meetings, to provide a short programs, to get visitors to assist, to provide a special program for Armistice Day, Mothers Day, Diamond Jubilee of Confederations and so on, to publish items of daily interest in the press, and to visit those who are sick and can't attend meetings. Closes with "The Klavern that does not render service, is not an asset to the community, is not functioning properly, and has but little use for its existence. Let us ;dig a grave for our ugly thoughts, and a garden for our kindly feelings' and live as becomes Klansmen". Signed by J.S. Lord, Imperial Kligrapp.
