In the general affairs of Nanticoke Mr. Challenger takes an interested part, and is known widely as one of the community's most public-spirited citizens. Politically, he is influential, but employs his influence to the best ends, and quietly. F raternally, he is a member of Lodge No. 541, Free and Accepted Masons; Caldwell Cousis tory, at Bloomsburg, Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite, and Irem Temple, Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. Also, he is a member of the Knights of Pythias, lodge of Nanticoke, and a communicant of the Methodist Episcopal Church. In matters of charity, as in all others, Mr. Challenger deals largely; his con tributions are made without thought of race or creed benefited. During the World War, while somewhat too advanced in years for service in the military, he did serve, tirelessly and well, on the many boards and committees in charge of prosecution of the conflict from within this country, and was instrumental most' beneficially to the country in the Liberty Loan campaigns.
