P. Allen Rickles, ranking B’nai B’rith officer in this state, will be honored on June 20 when the P. Allen Rickles Honor Class will be initiated at a B’nai B’rith meeting at Temple Center, climaxing a drive for 500 new members being conducted by Seattle Lodge.
When Mr. Rickles was B’nai B’rith president in 1925, the lodge boasted 1,000 members. The membership drive committee headed by Hy Wolfestone has made plans for enrolling 100 members for the “P. Allen Rickles Honor Class.”
