The sun was hot, the work was hard and the workers weren't getting paid, but they were happy. The reason for this situation was the construction being done on the Knights of Pythian building in Brighton. All of the labor for the construction of the building is being donated by the members of the Brighton lodge. On the day this picture was taken about 45 volunteer workers were busy pouring cement for the foundation. At noon 26 women members of he Sister of Pythias lodge, served chicken dinner for the men and 4 o'clock in the afternoon were there with cake, pie, iced tea and coffee.
