Patricia,

We also think that Sons of Norway (U.S.). Leif Erikson Lodge No. 1 is the 
preferred form of the name.  And Kate James pointed to the instruction in 
RDA at 11.13.1.3 that tells us to add (Seattle, Wash.) to the access 
point, if a chapter, branch, etc., is recorded as a subdivision of a 
higher body.  But I'm still not convinced that RDA compels us to record 
the lodge as a subdivision of the parent body.  If the name were "Lodge 
No. 1" then I would agree that it "simply indicates a geographic, 
chronological, or numbered or lettered subdivision of a parent body" 
according to 11.2.2.14.3.  But with the words Leif Erikson in front of 
Lodge No. 1, does it still simply indicate a numbered subdivision?  LCRI 
24.9 told us yes, that it does.  But there's no policy statement like it 
to tell us that it does in RDA.

Since you say there is no other Leif Erikson Lodge No. 1, there is no conflict if you use only "Leif Erikson Lodge No. 1" as the subordinate unit. As for the number, the examples given for 11.2.2.14.3 includes things like "Class of 1957" where 1957 is too generic to stand alone. I would  make a case that the number  makes "Leif Erikson Lodge No. 1" distinct enough and doesn't need its own geographic qualifier.

> "Lodge No. 1" would we think.  But does "Leif Erikson Lodge No. 1"?  As best we can determine there are many other Leif Erikson Lodges within Sons of Norway, but no other numbered No. 1.  So the question is, which is the correct RDA result:

Don't we need a policy statement if we want to continue to get the same result as we did in AACR2?
