Updated:Â Dick Krzyiewski sends along a scan of a 1954 Area 2-G Conclave Neckerchief was hosted by Otahnagon Lodge #172 and was held at their Camp Tuscarora.. Were any other items issued for this conclave?
Update January 2013 Ed White sends along an image of a variant neckerchief. He is aware of at least one other neckerchief with this Red and Yellow color combination. He speculates that it may be a Lodge Chief issue.
Ray Gould has sent a copy of the neckerchief slide issued for this conclave. This is a scan of color photocopy.

Hi Bill and Neale-
From what I’ve seen, there is a neckerchief slide (bakelite? type…..red with black indian head profile and says “Area II-G Conference……….1954”). I have never seen a patch……..I believe the patch confusion has lingered for years with some confusion about the white arrowhead patch with pine tree (actually belonging to the 1955 conference). I do have a color picture of the 1954 slide and will scan and send to you.
My best-

Hi Neale,
Ona Yote Kaonaga Lodge #500 was chartered the year before, should’ve been in that area, but your list confirms that they didn’t attend 2-G (not until 1955). Any ideas why, or maybe they were just too new?
