Odd Fellows in town 125 years By Kathy Yanchus SPECIAL TO THE BEAVER Photo by Peter McCusker The Odd Fellows Hall at 130 Lakeshore Rd. E., is a local historical land mark. It was built in 1883 after the original building where the Odd fellows met was destroyed by fire. The service club, celebrating its 125th anniver sary, met at this location for 118 years, before selling it in 1992. The Oakville Odd Fellows are in danger of extinction. As they celebrate a milestone in their long and illustrious history in Oakville, their 125th anniversary, members can't help but feel a twinge of ' sadness. "Most of the members are older. I'm the oldest," says 94-year-old Morley Codings. "Maybe it will just disap pear." The Odd Fellows motto is friend ship, love and truth, he explains, "the three links. It's about social time and getting into the spirit of helping peo ple." Membership has suffered a steady decline and now rests at less than 20 members, all older gentlemen who have been with the club for a number of years. "Twenty to thirty members would be nice," said Codings. Odd Fellows is similar to the Masons in its teachings and in its con ferring of degrees based on Bible teach ings, explains longtime member John Spears. Members make an application and pay a fee. "At one time you had to take three degrees before you could sit in the lodge but now if you take your initiato ry degree, you can sit in the lodge," says Spears, adding that other degrees are optional. The Odd Fellows organization dates back to the 1600s. "Two men decided they wanted to help certain neighbors. People were suspicious of people doing anything for a neighbor and expecting nothing in return," says Spears. "This is what has happened. The older brothers think this is good enough for me and we don't try to bring our sons and grandsons in to take our place. What suited the older ones isn't suitable for the younger ones." Times have changed and there are so many entertainment options for people today, adds Spears. Collings would agree. "In the smaller towns there's less of a problem. In years back, we had about 100 members." "If you go back a few years," adds Spears. "There were five or six brothers running for the office of noble grand." Today's Noble Grand has held the post for four years, and Spears has been the lodge's secretary for eight years. The Odd Fellows received its char ter in March 9, 1874 and held its lodge meetings above a variety store at 130 Lakeshore Rd.', just east of Navy Street. The building was destroyed by fire in April 17, 1883. The club received its second charter in Dec. 26, 1883 and resumed their meetings at that same downtown loca tion. The building had been rebuilt and the Odd Fellows shared its ownership with the Masons until they erected their own building, the Masonic Hall, at Thomas and Church Streets in 1923. After meeting at that downtown location for 118 years, the Odd Fellows sold their east half of the building in September 1992, and have since met at 1200 Speers Rd., Unit 43, on the sec ond and fourth Monday of each month at 8 p.m. The Odd fellows have donated gen erously over the years to various chari ties, as well as St. John's United Church and Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital. "At one time we made a donation of 9 $2,500 to have trees planted at different schools," comments Collings, an Odd Fellows member for 52 years "in May," and a former Vice Noble Grand and Noble Grand. Odd Fellows are also big supporters of Halton's drug education DARE pro gram and offer an annual Odd Fellows UN Pilgrimage for Youth. "It's a very nice organization to belong to," says Spears. "It's a nice group of people. I feel very strongly that it should continue. It's a good order, similar to the Masons. If you need anything, you're helped. You don't join anything for what you can get out of it. You get out of it what you put into it." Anyone interested in joining the Odd Fellows or in finding out more about the organization, can contact Spears at 632-8949. Woman joins 'Knot Abreast' dragon boat team (Continued from page B1) Moore has joined 'Knot Abreast,' a dragon boat team of 22 breast cancer survivors who practice in Hamilton and compete against other dragon boats. The first dragon boat team of breast cancer survivors was recruited in British Columbia by a doctor who thought the exercise might help prevent some of the side effects of breast cancer surgery. It proved very effective, and now there are similar teams across the country with names like 'Abreast in a Boat' and 'Best Abreast.' "I'm actually afraid of the water," Moore confesses. "The first time I got on the boat I wondered why on earth I was doing this." But being part of this boating team provides her with both exercise and support. "We don't talk about the cancer much - we talk more about the next race and our strategy.

As well, Moore and her family run each year in The Run for the Cure, an annual fundraiser. "Last year my fami ly raised over $8,000." she says. Moore hopes that her ability to live an active, joyful life despite the chal lenges that breast cancer has brought her will encourage other women. "Sixteen years ago, the surgeon told me he didn't think I'd last six months. But I'm still here, still enjoying my life. I believe that God has left me here for a reason."
