The lodge in South Florida was first named "Allapawtaw" (not to be confused with "Aal-Pa-Tah"), lasted but a few years, then was resurrected in 1955 as O-Shot-Caw. And Lodge 85 may have still been under the name of Kiandashama. John:

Accordingly, the South Carolina OA lodges were out of Area J and in Area Z at least by July 1945. If I had to make a guess as to why "S. Carolina" is on the paper, I would speculate that the Area J leadership may have drawn it up before Area Z was created - or they drew it up before they KNEW or REALIZED that Area Z had been created!
