GRAND IJODCE OF MINNESOTA 25

GRAND MASTER S ADDRESS

It is my pleasure on behalf of the M. W. Grand LodgeA.F. & A.M. of Minnesota as its Grand Master to welcomeyou, the members of this Grand Jurisdiction and all ofbur visitors, on this the first session of the One Hundredand Tenth Annual Communication. It is so good to gteetso many of my friends, especially the visitors from otherJurisdictions. It has been my good fortune to have visitedthese Jurisdictions either this year or in past years andhave learned to know and love each of these visitingBrothers. It is m it will be possible tobe as good a host e been to us. Nothinghas been left un visitors, at occasions

when either I was there or one of our Elected Officers,who represented me at Jurisdictions when dates fell atthe same time and it was impossible to be in two places

at the same time. In these instances it was my pleasure

to ask each of our five Elected Officers to make at leastone visit for the Grand Lodge of Minnesota and to carryour messages of good wishes with them. From the reportsthese Oflicers have given me I know they were as wellcared for on their visits as I have been, and I want to

AGAIN A HEARTY WELCOME.


each of us. I can now honestly tell you I have acceptedevery invitation where I had an open date and in manyinstances suggested some other date that I did have open.This has been the most enjoyable year of my life and atthe close of this report you will have to be the judge asto how well I lived up to your hopes of a year ago.

I must here tell you that no one man can operate thisGrand Lodge alone and any credit that might come thisway must be shared in great measure with the men whoare the other Officers of this Grand Lodge, the DistrictRepresentatives, the Custodians, Past Grand Masters,Committee Chairmen and members of each of these Com-mittees. I have attended many Committee meetings andwithout fail I am so well pleased with the good fortuneI had in selecting such dedicated people to carry on ourCommittee work between Communications. I can't men-tion every one but the Committees that have had the mostwork that I have attended are the Masonic Home Board,(Don't get me wrong, this Board is not my appointment,but it is a dedicated group and they, along with theirSuperintendent, Norval Hodgson, do so much work foryou and for me that I have to mention them along withmy appointments) - our Committee on Information andResearch, Masonic lVlemorial Hospital Committee, Min-nesota Mason, Public Relations and the Scholarship Com-mittee. This was our new Committee this year, and wewere very fortunate that Dr. Rufus Putnam, Superintend-ent of the Minneapolis Public Schools, accepted the Chair-manship of this Committee as he seemed to have atl theanswers and without his knowledge of the situation I amsure our Scholarship Program would never have gottenoff the ground as it did and become the success it wasfor the first year. The Area Conference Committee work-ed hard and long and conducted eight Area Conferencesall over this State that'were well attended and the pro-grams were of high quality and well enjoyed by theOfficers and members of the Lodges who attended. There

GRAND LODGE OF MTNNESOTA 27

has never been one request I have made this year to anyof the above that a positive answer didn't follow the re-quest, and this is the sort of help any Grand Master needs.Our Jurisprudence Committee has been always ready andwilling to approve By-Law changes when requested andour Chairman, P.G.M. John B. Tomhave, certainly asChairman has been ever patient when I would call himfor advice and I will never be able to properly thank thesehard working members of our Minnesota Grand Lodge.

The Grand Architect of the Universe was very kind tous as far as our Line Officers of this Grand Lodge wereconcerned, but he did find it necessary to call one of ourloved Past Grand Masters to his reward. Dr. Edwin J.Simon at the time of his death was our oldest living PastGrand Master and it was so hard to know that he wasgone, but it was for his own good. He had so many heartattacks the past year that I feel that God was good to takehim home with Him to save him from more suffering.

On the 26th day of January of this year God called ourbeloved Past Director of Masonic Service to his Lodgeabove. Clinton M. Norton was truly a devout Mason andwas active to the end of his life. We are all so happy thatClint did not have to suffer and to be left to the careof friends or relatives. I am sure he went as he wanted,while on a mission of doing good for others. He was onhis way to a Methodist Conference in Washington, D.C.when he was stricken in Spring Valley.

A great number of our Brothers have been called tothe Celestial Lodge above and these will all be honoredby our Necrology Committee later.

At this period of each Grand Master's term it is nec-essary to give an account of his work throughout the year.We have had a busy year and an enjoyable one. I will notat this time give an accounting of my visits but will havethem as an appendix of this report, as I feel if any ofyou are interested in where I have been - you can readabout it when you receive your copy of the printed Pro-

ceedings. We did, however, have six Special Communica-tions during this past year. On May gth, 1962 at twoo'clock the Grand Lodge was opened to constitute andinstall the Officers of Forest Lake Lodge No. 844, ournewest and youngest Lodge. July 17th, 1962 the GrandLodge was opened, Grand Master, Grand Chaplain, and.seven Past Grand Masters, to conduct the funeral com-mittal services for Past Grand Master Dr. Edwin J. Simon.July 21st Grand Lodge was opened at Cataract Lodge No.2 when we dedicated their new Lodge Room. September6th, 1962 Grand Lodge was opened to lay the Corner-stone of the new auditorium of Zuhrah Temple Shrine.October 27th at 12:20 P.M. Grand Lodge was opened inthe hall of Spring Valley Lodge No. 58 and at 1 :00 P.M.we laid the Cornerstone at the site of the new PublicSchool Building. We then moved to Houston where welaid the Cornerstone of Mystic Circle Lodge No. Z8 atHouston, Minnesota, and dedicated their new MasonicHall. The Grand Lodge was closed there and the GrandLodge divided its membership between Houston andStewartville where an earlier commitment had beenmade, and some of the Grand Lodge Officers were inStewartville and some in Houston. W. Bro. Lloyd Dux-bury represented the Grand Master and the Grand Lodgein Houston that evening where a 50th Anniversary ofmembership for one of their members was held. February16th, 1963 Grand Lodge was opened at B:30 p.M. tolay the Cornerstone of University Lodge No. 816.

Among the other outstanding meetings it was mypleasure to represent the Grand Lodge at the SpringConference held at the Minnesota Masonic Home onMarch 31st, 1962, where our program for the year waspresented. All of the Officers, Past Grand Masters, Dis-trict Representatives, Custodians and the Hospital Visitorat Rochester, W. Bro. Leslie Thornton, and the HomeSuperintendent, W. Bro. Norval Hodgson were in at-tendance. The Home Board invited us to be their guests

GRAND LODCE OF MINNESOTA 29

at a delicious noon luncheon and to all the facilities ofthe Home for our Conference, and we all appreciateholding this organizational meeting in such lovely sur-roundings as our Minnesota Masonic Home affords.

On April 13th it was my pleasure to present to ourBrother Thomas Yould at the Masonic Home a birthdaygift in the name of the Grand Lodge on the occasion ofhis 105th birthday, making him the oldest living Masonin North America, and I am pleased to say he is still ingood health.

On April 14th Quarry Lodge No. 148 of Pipestone,Minnesota, held its annual Past Masters Night when theGrand Masters of Minnesota, Iowa and South Dakotawere invited to attend and at which meeting each GrandMaster was presented with a Pipestone Peace Pipe.

October 19th and 20th I attended the Midwest Con-ference on Masonic Education in Chicago. Our Past GrandMaster Clyde E. Hegman was President of that Confer-ence for two years and in recognition of the honor thatwas conferred on our Jurisdiction six of our Committee inMinnesota attended this fine Conference.

Just one more special meeting. On November 27th ltwas my privilege to attend a meeting of Josephus LodgeNo. 128 in Mapleton, Minnesota, where 50 year membersfilled the chairs. This Lodge has 101 members and tohave 511 years of Masonry occupying the chairs, andopening and closing their Lodge, and the Ritual was good,was something to attend. In addition to these 50 yearmembers three more 50 year members from neighbor-ing towns were in attendance and had a seat of Honorin the East.

STATE OF THE CRAFT

At this part of the year we are more or less judgedby the number of new members we receive or the lack ofthem. You will notice we fell down on our raisings and

DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVES

Because of health or business reasons it was necessaryfor me to accept the resignation of ten District Represen-tatives. It is quite a job to select the proper person tobe the Personal Representative of the Grand Master ineach of our thirty Districts, but I am so happy to reportthat rvithout fail I believe we have thirty of the mostdedicated men as District Representatives that it wouldbe possible to assemble for any one year. I cannot proper-ly thank these fine men for all they have done for meand this Grand Jurisdiction this past year. At the start ofthe year I asked them to make an extra trip to each oftheir Lodges to do what they could to start the use ofour Counselor Plan in as many Lodges as possible. Weheld five meetings around the State where I was assistedby W. Bro. Dana Hanford of Duluth, the father of ourCounselor Plan, and we attempted to show each of theDistrict Representatives the necessity of an EducationalCommittee in each Lodge to prepare Counselors, and I

we had an extra large number of deaths, which we can-not control, but we simply have to go to work and dothings that will atlract the type of people we need andget back in the black side of the Ledger. I have come tothe conclusion that there is nothing wrong with Masonryin Minnesota, but there is something wrong with some ofthe Masons. We just don't have the proper programs andmake use of the members we have to keep them busy.

GRAND LODGE OF'MINNESOTA 31

am happy to tell you of the success most of our Repre-sentatives have had throughout their Districts and a largenumber of our Lodges are now using the Counselor Plan.The results of this PIan are beginning to show in theprogress reports as to activities and attendance in theseLodges that have started in the program. Almost everyLodge in this Jurisdiction is now using the set of fiveQuest Books as put out by our Committee on Researchand Information. I believe these five books are the finestused in any Jurisdiction at this time. During the latterpart of the year it was necessary for me to add anotherDistrict Representative because of the poor health of W.Bro. William Lee who had to resign as a Custodian, andI appointed W. Bro. Clyde Van Cleve, a District Repre-sentative, to the office of Custodian and through his ef-forts and suggestions we found a very fine replacementas District Representative for District No. 10 in the ac-ceptance of W. Bro. Lyle A. Tuller of Little Falls. I can'tthank these dedicated men enough for all that they havedone this year.

Among the many things these men have worked on ineach District this past year have been the Counselor Plan,the Scholarship Program, arranging for Schools of In-struction, working on Public Relations Programs in theirLodges, Fathers and Sons or Daughters Banquets, FamilyNight Programs, and way late in the year a program ofa State Wide Cribbage Tournament under the Chairman-ship of M. G. Gullixson of Wayzata was tossed into theirlap. It was so late in the year they were only requestedto select a District Chairman and some have done a finejob of getting this program started.

Any success this Jurisdiction has had this past year isa good deal to the credit of our District Representatives.

CUSTODIANSAt the start of the year W. Bro. David Will moved to

California and resigned as Custodian. I was so happy toappoint W. Bro. Howard Butler of East Grand Forks in

32 PRocEEDINcS oF THE

his place. W. Bro. Earl Clayton had to resign because ofDoctor's orders, and it was my privilege to appoint W.Bro. Ralph Schuette in his place. W. Bro. William Reevewho had served so many years and as Chairman of theBoard of Custodians could not be re-appointed becauseof our Regulations and I had to replace him with W. Bro.Verne E. Long. W. Bro. Reeve should be compiimentedon his long activities on the Board of Custodians andeven this year he has assisted members of the Board as

a Monitor, and I appreciate everything W. Bro. Reevehas done for this Grand Lodge. I appointed W. Bro. WiI-liam J. Lee as Chairman of the Board. W. Brother Leehas been a member of the Board several years and waspast Secretary of the group. As W. Bro. Lee is a memberof my mother Lodge, and we have worked together somany years, and the fact this will be the last opportunityfor him to leave the Board as a past Chairman - it wasmy happy privilege to appoint him Chairman. Later inthe year because of health it was necessary for him toalso resign, and W. Bro. Clyde Van Cleve was appointedto finish his vacancy. W. Bro. Henry Van Geest, one ofthe hard workers of the Board, agreed to assume theChairmanship of the Board for the balance of the year.These fine men had done very fine work in Schools ofInstruction and have conducted many of what we call aFourth School this year. This Fourth School covered somany parts of Officer Instruction not covered in a De-gree School, such as the proper use of the ballot box,Masonic Funeral Services, the proper way to receive dis-tinguished visitors, the proper way to present the Ameri-can Flag at Lodge meetings, and so many other thingsas would be suggested at such a school, I have had manyfine reports, not only from the Custodians, but fromLodge members and it is my hope that these FourthSchools be continued.

TRIAL COMMISSIONERS

This group of dedicated Masons do the dirty work of

CRAND LODGE OF MINNESOTA 33

this Jurisdiction and about the only thing they hear oftheir work is from those who think their friends shouldbe able to do anything without any sort of reprimand.It is such a hard job to receive and process these chargesagainst men who forgot some of their Masonic obligationsand one of the hardest things a Grand Master has to dois to appoint a Trial Commissioner to go over the chargesand make recommendations as to this man's member-ship. If it is so distasteful for the Grand Master, what doyou think the Trial Commissioners think about it? Ihave had to appoint Trial Comm,issioners for four mem-bers this year. One has been completed and the otherthree are still pending. I thank these fine Brothers fromthe bottom of my heart for the fine work they do to keepour records clear. Many thanks, my Brothers.

50 YEAR MEMBERS

During this past year our District Representatives havepresented many 50 year Emblems. I have attended manylnd compliment the District Representatives on the finepresentations they have made. On many occasions it wasmy pleasure to be invited by District Representatives tomake presentations. I have enjoyed each such meeting.A complete list of these Brothers will appear in the sup-plement of this report.

GRAND MASTER'S AWARDI am very happy to announce several Lodges in Min-

nesota have again this year entered beautiful bound re-ports on their program to compete in the Grand Master'sAward for fine programming and activities. A bit latertoday we will distribute plaques to those Lodges whohave won the Award. It is my hope that every Lodge willset up a good program at the start of each year. AppointCommittees for every part of that program and give asmany members a job and this program, along with anEducational Committee, complete with Counselors, Yotrrvill keep many more members active. Request Commit'

34 PRocEEDTNGS oF THE

tee reports at your Stated Meetings. In this way you willhave many more activities and many more members inattendance, and you will find that this additional activitywill prornote more and more Public Relations, of publicityfor your Lodge, and more people will ask for Petitions,and your Lodge will join those other active Lodges thatdo these things and show a gain in membership. Won'tyou give it a try?

DE MOLAYThis year we have had an active Standing Committee

on De Molay, and I am sure when their report is read andtheir suggestions made as to how Minnesota can betterserve this grand organization, you rvill all give carefulconsideration to following these suggestions. It is a knownfact that more than 607o of. the De Molay boys join Ma-sonry and at the present time we have ten Grand Mastersin their Jurisdictions who have been Senior De Molays.This program will benefit every Lodge that has a Chapterof De Molay. llhis evening you will witness the InitiatoryDegree of De Molay by the Chapter in the smallest townand without the aid of robes, as they do not have any.This is to show that a small town can support a Chapterof De Molay as well as a Lodge in a large city. Please at-tend this evening and see what can be done without a lotof expense

JOBS DAUGHTERSAlong with our program on De Molay it is my thought

that we are forgetting another big asset to our futuremembership when we pay so little attention to the Orderof Jobs Daughters. Don't sell these girls short. They areindoctrinated with the Masonic spirit and some day willinarry and their husbands better be Masons or they willhave to join. Because nothing.has ever been done inMinnesota to let these wonderful girls know what wethink of them, this'spring I have arranged a very niceCertificate completely framed, and I have delivered, all


those in the Metropolitan Area myself and have asked theGrand Lodge Officers and the District Representativeswhere there are Bethels to present these framed Certifi-cates to their Bethels with remarks that our Grand Lodgeis backing them.

SPECIAL VISITATIONSIt has been a happy privilege for me and the Elected

Officers of this Jurisdiction to visit Grand Lodges withwhom we exchange. I have only sent regrets to threeGrand Jurisdictions - South Carolina. Ohio and Ken-tucky - and regrets were sent because of the great dis-tance involved and the little good I could do for the GrandLodge of Minnesota if I did accept and make the trip.However, we had five Jurisdictions that held their GrandLodge Communications the same dates as others, so Iasked our Elected Officers to each make one visit.

R.W. Edwin W. Toms, D.G.M., attended SaskatchewanR.W. Paul M. Olstad, S.G.W., attended AlbertaR.W. Frank E. Edey, J.G.W., attended NebraskaR,W. Louis K. Thompson, G.T., attended IndianaR.W. David E. Palmer, G.S., attended WisconsinI had fully intended to attend the Grand Lodge of

Canada in Ontario, but the day before I was to leave ouroldest Past Grand Master, Dr. Edwin J. Simon, passedaway and his family requested the Grand Lodge to givethe graveside services at National Cemetery so, of course,it was impossible for me to go to Toronto, but I asked ourGrand Secretary who is also the Representative of thatJurisdiction near Minnesota to u$e my reservations andto represent me and this Grand Lodge, which he did.I might say here that in every case these Grand LodgeOfficers have reported to me that every courtesy andconsideration were given to them on their visit. We hopethese Grand Jurisdictions realize how impossible it isfor the Grand Master to be in two places at the same time.

It was my privilege to attend the Grand Lodge of Wis-consin Officers Quarterly Meeting, which compares to our


Area Conferences, in company with R. W. Frank Edey,J.G.W., and W. Bro. Moftimer B. Miley, S.G.D., at RiverFalls, Wisconsin on Saturday, May 12th. At this meetingwe were given every courtesy and we gave our thanks.

September 7th and 8th M. W. Otto Danek attendedthe Banff Conference on Education in Alberta. It wasmy feeling when I received an invitation our Jurisdictionwould receive a great deal more for the expense of mygoing if I delegated M. W. Bro. Dahek as Chairman ofour Committee on Education and Information. He repre-sented us at that Conference.

In July and August I attended three Masonic Picnics

- July 22nd,1962, District No. 3 at Otter Tail, Minnesota

- July 29th Lake Harriet Lodge Picnic at Masonic HomeGrounds - and August 5th I attended a District Picnicat Russell, Minnesota.

My visitations through Minnesota will be covered byan appendix at the end of this report but a very few out-standing affairs I must mention - April 14th Past Mas-ters Night at Pipestone in Quarry Lodge. Grand Mastersof Minnesota, Iowa and South Dakota were invited anda Pipestone Peace Pipe was presented to each GrandIVlaster. At Josephus Lodge in Mapleton it was very in-teresting to attend a Past Masters Night when 50 yearmembers filled the Chairs. A total of 511 years of Mason-ry were in the Chairs, not including the Secretary who


held 27 years, but'three visiting 50 year members wereguests in the East from neighboring Lodges. These vet-erans opened and closed a Lodge of Master Masons aswell as most regular Officers do and it was a splendidmeeting.

On January 15th I visited Golden Sheaf Lodge in Mor-ris and by accident we received the mortgage as thefinal payment had been made on the debt a few daysbefore, so we held a Mortgage Burning Ceremony. Tome as a member of that fine Lodge it was a pleasure tobe in attendance as Grand Master with about thirtyBrothers present and have the happy privilege of helpingburn the mortgage that we had worked so many yearsto bring about. Golden Sheaf has as fine a building andLodge property as you will find in West Central Min-nesota.

. GRAND MASTERS CONFERENCE IN WASHINGTONIt w h R. w. Edwin w.Toms, David E. paimer.

Grand Sturtz, past GrandMaster of Minnesota, to attend this fine Conference be-tween February 17th and 23rd, lg68.

Past Grand Master Sturtz is the Chairman of the Boardof the Masonic Service Association and has been for

Grand Masters in a four man panel which I did and wasso happy to have been so honored. During this Confer-ence among other reports I listened to Grand MasterQuasha of the Philippine Islands make a report and Ihave to give you some figures. He informed uJ that thereare 7,000 islands and they extend about 1,b00 miles from


north to south. He also informed us that the main re'ligion was Catholic and of the work he was trying to doin collection of text books for the Public Schools. Healso told us that 25Vo of the taxes cotrlected go for Educa-tion but at this time there are eight million students inthe Public Schools and there are only two million textbooks. In the main part three students have one bookamong them but in the far areas of these islands there areabout fifteen students to each book. It is very hard toeducate children with no books. He told us the Japanesedestroyed all American books at the time they took overand it has been impossible to secure new ones faster, so

this request has been made in the Jurisdictions of theUnited States and many Jurisdictions are doing finework in the collection of books. Minnesota has made a

start, but we need more activity and I will make'a rec-ommendation on this at the close of this report. This iscalled PROJECT HANDCLASP and we need to takehold of the project and work for these children. There are724 Lodges in the Grand Jurisdiction of the Philippines.When these books arrive the L24 Lodges have assumedthe responsibility of going over all books, checking wherethey will do the most good and will distribute them. Eachbooi wilt be stamped on the inside cover "furnished bythe Free Masons of America and distributed by the FreeMasons of the Philippines."

SCIIOLARSHIP COMMITTEE

This fine Committee was set up agreeable to your in-structions of a year ago. I was so fortunate in securingmen for this Committee that are such dedicated men.Each of them have responsible positions and to take thenecessary time from their busy schedule to work for theGrand Jurisdiction on a new program was marvelous. Dr.Rufus Putnam, Superintendent of Schools in Minneapolis,was Chairman, and through his efforts and ability seemedto know exactly how to proceed and make a fine Programfor this Grand Lodge. W. Bro. Herbert G, Croom of the


Faculty of the University of Minnesota, Morris, servedon this Committee and had to drive from Morris to Min-neapolis to attend meetings. Thanks, Herb, for your ef-forts and your willingness to serve. Brother William W.Lundell, Chairman of our Public Relations Committee,was a stalwart on this Committee and looked after all thepublicity for it, in addition to contributing to the Program.Past Grand Master Clyde E. Hegman, the work horse ofthis Grand Lodge and Chairman of the Committee onPublishing the Minnesota Mason, also worked hard andlong for the Program. I have been told when you havea job to do and need help, eall on the busiest men youcan find and it will be done. At the start of this Programwe felt if we had fifty good essays we would be satisfiedand if by chance we should receive one hundred, thatwould be exceptional, but after the screening in each ofthe participating schools we had one hundred seventytwo essays that would have done credit for any of themto be the winner, but this Committee met with a JudgingCommittee all day February lst of this year and it wasa hard job for the Committee, after working all day andevening, to come up with a boy and girl winner. This af-ternoon we will have that boy and girl here and Dr. Put-nam will present them with their Scholarship checks. Iwant to thank each of the Masonic Lodges over the Statefor making awards to the winners in their High School.This made winners aII over Minnesota, and you all dida remarkable job on this promotion. I hope next year itwill expand and receive the full support of our LodgeOfficers as it did this year. Thanks for a job well done.

RECOMMENDATIONSI recommend that we set up an Office Management

Committee for the benefit of the incoming Grand Master.Any man who lives outside of the city has about sixmonths to learn of the workings of the Grand LodgeOffice. It is my thought that this Committee always in-clude the Deputy Grand Master who would the next year


be Grand Master and would know the rules of the officeas soon as he was elected. This Committee to include theDeputy Grand Master and two otheroffice experience to be appointed by thtees as set forth in our Regulations in12.

I recommend that when a Lodge has two or more Peti-tions to ballot on, they ballot on all Petitions collectively.If a Black Cube is in the box, then each Petition must begiven ballot by itself. Some of our larger Lodges whohave ten to a dozen Petitions to ballot can use the fullevening just to ballot and this would simplify the process.This system is used in many of the other Masonic con-nected Bodies and works very well.

I recommend the incoming Grand Master appoint a

special Committee to have charge of the books collectedfor the Philippine Islands. There will be considerablework to sort and box all these books but the project war-rants all the help we can give it. I also rAppropriation Committee make at leastable to this Committee for expenses in s

binding tape and cord, as well as some help in doing thework.

I recommend the incoming Grand Master appoint a

Committee to investigate the so-called Pennsylvania Planfor the collection of funds to establish an endowmentfund for the perpetuation of the upkeep of the GeorgeWashington Masonic National Memorial located at Arling-ton, Virginia which must be kept in good repair for alltime to come. This'Committee would make a study andreport back to this Grand Lodge a year from now foraction.

I recommend that the Scholarship Program that hashad such a wonderful start this, the first year, be con'tinued and the Appropriation Committee give seriousthought as an increase so two runner up awards may be

PROCEEDINGS OF THE

given next year. I should think at least an additional$500.00 so two awards of $250.00 could be given.

I recommend we give more thought to the De Molayin Minnesota, The Phillips Petroleum Company has paidfor a film on De Molay and has given it to the organiza-tion. However, each copy costs $150.00. Minnesota hasordered one copy for the Field Man, and I understandto receive cost this film will have to be rented. My thoughtis for this Grand Lodge to pay for this copy so the FieldMan can have its use to show wherever it will do good forDe Molay without having to collect for its use. This alsothe Appropriation Committee should give considerationin the amount of $150.00.

I recommend that the MINNESOTA MASON be con-tinued and in view of the increased costs in mailing andpostage the Minnesota Mason Committee make recom-mendations to the Appropriation Committee for the need-ed funds. I also recommend that each Lodge Officer makespecial mention to his Lodge members that if they moveand the Grand Secretary's Office is not notified of thechange in address, the Post Office Department returnsthe copy and collects ten cents for each copy not de-livered. This amounts to a great deal throughout the year.

I recommend that the Minnesota Masonic MemorialFund, Inc., be given full power to carry on a campaignfor funds, and if this Committee feels it needs funds tostart the campaign they make application to the Appropri-ation Committee for those funds.

I recommend that the Committee on Instruction And In-formation be commended for the fine work they do ongetting out bulletins and pamphlets for the good of theCraft. They are now working on a Hand Book for Coun-selors that I hope will be completed and printed as soonas funds are available and also a Hand Book for Officers,along with the balance of their program.


And now, my Brothers, in conclusion, let me just saya great big thank you for a1l the fine assistance you havegiven me this past year. You Lodge Officers where it wasmy privilege to visit, accept my thanks for all the cour-tesies you have shown me and the other Grand LodgeOfficers. To all of the Grand Lodge Officers, let me Thankyou for all the help and assistance you gave me . . . at themany Special Communications where it is so importantto have the Officers assemble, and I know it is not easyto travel across this State just to open the Grand Lodgeand do the work at hand, but you were all very consider-ate, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. ThePast Grand Masters have without exception answeredevery request I have made of them and this includes mostof our Past Grand Masters. They are a marvelous groupof men and work so hard for you and me for the good ofthis, our Grand Lodge. To the District Representatives,Custodians, Committee Chairmen and Committee mem-bers - you couldn't have done a better job. You haveall by your efforts made this past year the finest yearfor me that I have ever lived, and I will always be indebt-ed to eaeh and every one of you for all you have done forme. Again let me thank you all for a fine year.

Fraternally yours,

HARVARD B. OLSON,

Grand Master

REPORT OF BOARD OF CORPORATE TRUSTEES

To the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M.of Minnesota:

Following is a report of the activities of your Board ofCorporate Trustees for the past Grand Lodge year:

The Board has held six meetings during the year, thefirst of which was held in the Grand Master's Office im-mediately following the conclusion of the Grand LodgeAnnual Communication on March 22, L962.

At this meeting M. W. Harvard B. Olson was electedchairman, R. W. Edwin W. Toms was elected vice-chair-man and R. W. Paul M. Olstad was elected secretary forthe ensuing year. M. W. Grand Master Harvard B. Olsonand Past Grand Masters, Stafford King, Willard Hillyerand Clyde E. Hegman were elected to the Executive Com-mittee.

The second meeting of the Board was held in the li-brary at the Masonic Home on March 31, 1962.

The Board discussed investment policies with referenceto the investment of permanent funds and the incometherefrom. Foltowing the discussion a resolution wasadopted providing that the Grand Treasurer was author-ized to purchase securities for the various funds duringthe fiscal year with the prior approval of the ExecutiveCommittee in any of the following classes:

1. U.S.A. Treasury Securities.2. Agencies of the United States.

68 PRocEEDINGS oF THE

3. Municipal or School Districts in Minnesota ratedBAA or better or eligible for bank investment.

4. Corporate obligations rated AA or better.

5. Finance companies rated A or better and listed onthe New York Stock Exchange.

6. Railroad Equipment Trust Certificates rated AA orbetter.

Compensation of the Grand Secretary, Grand Treasurerand office employees was fixed for the ensuing year.

At the meeting of July 2I,1962, held at Cataract Lodge,reports were given on progress in preparing a new Mason-ic Code. The preparation and indexing of the new Codehas been a very time consuming job.

Conflicting reports were heard regarding the statusof Masonry in Cuba and the matter was referred to M. W.George R. Wilson for investigation and report.

The fourth meeting of the Board was held at the Min-neapolis Athletic Club on September 2I, t962. Since itwas apparent at this time that there would be a deficit inthe funds for Special Communications and for the Min-nesota Mason (due in part to increased circulation andin part to the charge of ten cents per copy made by thePost Office on all improperly addressed copies of thepaper) the Grand Master was authorized Io approve ex-penditures in excess of appropriations for these two items,with the excess charged to the Corporate Trustees Con-tingent Fund.

On January 19, 1963 the Board held a meeting at theSt. Paul Hotel at which time they approved a proposalby the Grand Master that the Short TaIk Bulletins, whichheretofore had been mailed to the Masters of the Subordi-nate Lodges, be rather sent to the Secretaries with theexpectation that thereby they would be more readilyavailable to the Brethren of the Lodge.

Also approved was the suggestion that the GrandLodge prepare, distribute and encourage the use of a


card evidencing proficiency in the first section of thelecture of the Third Degree.

In order to encourage attendance of Grand Lodge Of-ficers and Past Grand Masters at Area Conferences andOccasional Communications the Board approved a reso-lution that they be paid mileage and per diem when at-tending these meetings.

The Grand Treasurer was authorized to dispose of$150,000 in low yield government bonds and to investthe proceeds in bank certificates of deposit at 4Vo in-terest.

Since records were not kept of individual contributionsto the George Washington Memorial Fund for the periodfrom 1932 to 1953 and since this was now creating a prob-lem in connection with applications for dual membership,the Board authorized the acceptance of the Brother'sstatement that he had made payment to the fund in lieuof a receipt or other record.

The sixth and final meeting of the Board was held onMarch 9, 1963 at the St. PauI Athletic Club.

The Board discussed progress in the preparation andprinting of a new Code and determined that it shouldbe published in 5r/2" x 872" sheet size bound in a looseleaf metal ring binder.

R. W. Louis K. Thompson who had been designated torepresent the Grand Lodge in negotiations regarding theJames B. Ladd Estate of which the Grand Lodge is aprincipal beneficiary, kept the Board advised as to activi-ties in connection therewith. Since it appeared that cer-tain revenues from this Estate would soon come to theGrand Lddge, it was determined that in order to properlyidentify these funds for accounting and disbursement,these funds should be deposited in a special account tobe known as the "Grand Lodge of Minnesota James B.Ladd Memorial Fund."

David E. Palmer was selected as Grand Secretary andLouis K. Thompson was selected as Grand Treasurer


for the ensuing year, subject to confirmation by the An-nual Communication of the Grand Lodge.

The Board of Corporate Trustees proposed an initialcontribution of $5,000 from the Grand Lodge towards theMinnesota Memorial Hospital Fund in the event that theResolution authorizing the solicitation of funds for atwo story addition be approved by the Annual Com-munication.

L. F. (Bud) Johnson, Gordon Butler, and Clyde E.Hegman were recommended for election to the MasonicHome Board; and Emmett R. Christesen, Franklin G. Em-rick, and Willard E. Hillyer were nominated for electionto the Board of Directors of the Minnesota MemorialHospital Fund, Inc.

REPORT OF PROGRAM AND ATTENDANCE COMMITTEE

and Attendance Committee isof the subordinate lodges whichduring the Past Year.

The statistics are as follows:

Lodges Having 25Lodges Having rs. . . 4Lodges Having 3Lodges Holding Meetings Jointly with

Other Lodges ... 5Total Attendance at All Meetings In'

cluding Non-Masons ..5,499Non-Masonic Attendance

Approximately . . 560

The Committee feels that the idea of a Masonic Night isvery good and should be continued in the future. There arestill many lodges that plan on having a Masonic Night yet thisspring. Many of the lodges reporting did not give the exactamount of attendance, and it was felt that there were manymore in attendance than reported above.

The Committee would like to point out that in all caseswhere Non-Masons were invited, the attendance was consid-erably larger, and this, of course, should be encouraged. Wehope that this is the start toward increased activity for all ofthe lodges in our state.

It has been a pleasure to serve on your Committee.

..TIIE DYNAMICS OF MASONRY"by

M. W, Clyde E. Tlegman, Past Grand Master and Grand OratorThe Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Minnesota

Grand Oration delivered at the Annua1 Communication ofGrand Lodge, March 20, 1963

Most Worshipful Grand Master, Distinquished Guests,My Brothers all:

"Give me a place to stand and I will move the world."These words were spoken about 210 years before theChristian era by a man named Archimedes. He was aGreek mathematician and inventor who is credited withhaving conceived and designed many ingenious mechani-cal devices. Among these was the Archimedes waterscrew, the principle of which is used even today in lift-ing water, or bulk commodities, like grain or gravel,from a lower point to a higher elevation. A friend onetime asked him to give an illustration of how a very greatweight could be moved by a very small force. He demon-strated this by use of a lever-bar and fulcrum. Now Isuppose that in light of today's knowledge of outer spaceand planets and satellites, if Archimedes could havestood on another celestial body, and compensated forgravitational pull and orbital speeds, and manipulated abar and fulcrum large enough, he could indeed havemoved the world.

Some two thousand years later, in the last half of the18th century, another man, Johann Goethe, Master Ma-son Johann Goethe, Iived in Frankfort, Germany. He wasperhaps the greatest of the German poets and philosoph-ers of his time. As a moralist and an exponent of cleanliving, he was a powerful force on the lives of Germanpeople of his day. Brother Goethe in one of his works said,"Make sure thy standing place and move the world."Someone has said his very life itself was his greatest work.

Here were two great men of history, who lived two


millienniums a speaking in termsof moving the in a PhYsical andmaterial sense, I and humanitarianvein. One was chanism of things;the other with the dynamics of purpose.

"But we still need men to watch, check, and coordinate thecontrols."

One of the results of our new'found modes of speedy

anisms of things, but men who are intent upon the dy-namics of purpose.

I submit to you, my Brothers, that in masonry are foundthe dynamics of purpose, the powers which will fire andinspiie men; are found values that lift the spirit of man'kind.


Let us consider three of these positive powers foundin Masonry, in its Lodges, in its work, and in its men.

The Power of Faith

First is the power of faith. Every man in this auditori-um, every one of almost five million Master Masons inthese United States and the Provinces of Canada, anduntold numbers of craftsmen across the face of the globe,has professed the power of faith. My Brother, in whomdo you put your trust?

It was the writer of the letter to the Hebrews whosaid "Faith is the substance of things h.oped for, the evi-dence of things not seen." A man's faith is not what heholds; it is what holds him.

Faith is always a certain strength and a vital force.Faith of each individual man and woman is that whichmakes the faith of a nation. More than any other man aMaster Mason must have a living faith, a faith that over-shadows the simple worldly knowledge; his faith is bornin that vital experience that when the strength and wis-dom of man fails there is an inexhaustible supply aboveyielded to us through the power of prayer. The life ofevery man is incomplete until he comes to the recognition,and acceptance, of his own inadequacies and limitations.In genuine humility man may discover the truth of theparadox, to save one's life he must first lose it; lose itin something bigger than himself.

The Search for TruthThe second of these powers in the dynamics of Mason-

ry is its search for truth. In this quest, the Mason freeshis mind of intolerance, prejudices, superstition, bigotry,and all that makes men slaves while they dream of free-dom. Having been thus brought to light, more light andfurther light, with an open mind free to receive thelight of truth, he finds the designs upon his tresUeboard


are all contained in the Volume of Sacred Law, the HolyBible, the Rule and Guide from God, that Light whichdarkness can never extinguish

In the Proverbs of the Old Testament (29: tr8) we findthe admonition, "Where there is no vision the peopleperish." In for truth in all his en-'deavors, a to develoP a thinkingmind. One ictments uPon our busY

way of life is that we tend to develop lapy minds. We arealtogether too willing, if not anxious, to let others do ourthinking for us. Evidences are all around us, Fot examplethere aie the news digests, the development of a profes'sion of commentators, the writers of capsule treatrnentsof everythin and weaccept these our ownthinting. Ma king outtruths wtrictr ed facts,

of vision. Thensaid, "ye shallyou free."

Guided by this penchant for truth, a Mason holds thatevery man has a right to worship the true and living Godin fieedom. and in the church of his choicb. That thissame God is the Father of us all, that we are his chil-clren, and that therefore men of his creation are all Broth'ers, is the essence of Masonry, as it glorifies the Father-hood of God and the Brotherhood of Man.

Truth and freedom, and right to freedom are insepar-able. So also is the idea of a man's right to approach hisGod free of secularism and indulgence. This concept was'reborn when, on that October day in' 1517, Martin Luthernailed the 95 thesis on the chtfch door at'Wittenberg;and today the sound of his hammer is still being heardaround the world. It was this same kind of right to free-dom that inspir'ed the embattled farmers who, in L775at Lexington, fired that shot heard round the world. Allthe way from Bunker Hill to YorktowR ran the blood ofthose who loved freedom and liberty so much they were

88 PRocEEDTNGs oF THE

willing to die for their stand. Let us as Masons so devoteourselves to the preservation of those freedoms that wewill live for them, and be willing to stand up and becounted..

Let us recognize, too, that we deserve these freedomsonly so long as we are willing to be responsible for them,and pass them on unimpaired to our children and futuregenerations. As Masons we know of the lack of educationwhen dominated by private ecclesiastical institutions. Letus foreVer re-affirm our stand that every American girland boy has a right to a free public school education.More importantly let us see to it that our local publicschool remain free; and that only those schools, and noneother, are supported by public funds. Only in this waycan we insure free government for our children as theybecome our citizens of tomorrow;

The Power of Exemplary LivingThe third power in the dynamics of Masonry to which

I direct your attention is the impact of exemplary tivingby each individual Master Mason, not merely upon Broth-ers, and within the Lodge, but most importantly outsidethe tiled door, in the world at large. My Brothers, thelife we live is the lesson we teach.

Within the Lodge, it might be well to remind ourselvesthat Worshipful Masters are not only responsible, but areobligated, to see to it that the conferral of the Masonicdegrees and lectures is done with the utmost care, andin the finest manner we can command. Let us be evermindful that our purpose in the exemplification of thedegrees is first, to impress upon the candidate the wiseand serious truths inculcated in the beautiful lessonsand teachings of Masonry; and second, to serve to remindall Brothers in the Lodge room of our sincerity of purposein our solemn engagements.

Outside the Lodge room the practice of Masonry be.gins at home. As men, and as Masons, we are likely to


find that it is at home that we are what we are, our mostgenuine selves. Someone has defined home a.s illlte Pl?cgwhere we are tieated best and grumble most." What kindof Masons are we in our homes?

May I suggest that we find our finest opportunities togrooni ourselves for a life of service in the outside worldby beginning at home. The welfare and future of ournition, our communities, our entire economic, social andreligious life is dependent upon the strength of the fam-ily.

-Our relations with our family are the very founda'tions, or bulwarks, upon which the entire superstructureof our American way of life is founded and built.

Morals, scruples, integrity, love, care, devcition, qldrespect are all

-qualities of character. They are not lik-ea new suit of clothes, or a coat, which a man can take offand put on at will as he leaves home to tend his business,and meet associates, customers, clients and friends. Theyare the very warp and woof out of which the fabric ofpersonality and character are woven.

There is no greater truism in the field of human rela-tions than the axiom that attitude begets attitude. Con-sider our wives, our mothers, our sisters, yes, even ourbrothers. The consideration which you and I accord totheir feelings, their rights, their habits, will in truth earnfor us a like or reciprocal attitude on their part - an at-titude of respect, tolerance, unselfishness, even love.

The manner in which you and I as Masons live and dealwith our children is perhaps an even greater challenge tous. Youth is impressionable. I remember vividly a state-ment made by one of my closest friends in the clergy. OneSunday morning he admonished from his pulpit - "fsmost prayerful of your way with your children. Wfel Vogare dealing with the chfldren, you are dealing with God."May we guard our tongues, our speech, our demeanor,our self discipline, our regard for truth, by precept andexample, in such a manner that our children will want


to follow in the way of life which you and I have learnedat the altar of Masonry.

The practice of Masonry begins at home.

The power of Masonry through us continues in ourwork-a-day world. Whatever be our occupation, as farmer,doctor, merchant, skilled craftsman, laborer, school teach-er, minister, or business man, our behavior expressesour attitudes, our philosophy, our code of morals andethics. White many traits and attributes may make up apersonality, there is one rather all inclusive state, orquality of being, which I believe is the hallmark of theman who has been taught how to wear the lambskin, thewhite leathern apron. I refer to the hallmark of integrity.A man of integrity will not compromise with truth. In allhis dealings with fellowmen, in all his walks of life, hisword will be his bond, his standard of fair dealing inhonesty and sincerity will be his motto in practice, notbecause it is expected of him, or because it is the thingto do, but because it is right.

One of the sages of old said, "To thine ownself betrue, and it must follow as the night the day; thou can'stnot be false to any man."

A man who has knelt at our altais will have yet furtheropportunities to act like a Mason as he worships andworks in the church of his choice. It is this insistence uponthe right of every man to freedom of worship accordingto the dictates of his own creed which is the sacred tiebetween Masonry and Constitutional Americanism. Tol-erance, enlightenment, and education, are inseparableMasonic tenets.

At that great center of learning, the University sf In-diana, in Bloomington, there is inscribed in the stone ofthe Students Union Building these words:

"Your greatness is measured by your kindness,

Your education and intelligence by your modesty,


Your real caliber is measured by the considerationand tolerance you have for others."

Brothers, support your church and your pastor, notonly with your gifts of dollars, but with your time andyour talents, not in spite of, but because you are a Mason,because you have professed your faith in the one trueGod, because you have experienced your total dependenceupon Him.

"God of our fathers, whose almighty hand

L,eads forth in beauty all the starry band

Of shining worlds in splendor through the skies,

Our grateful songs before thy throne arise.

Thy love divine hath led us in the past,

In this free land by thee our lot is cast;

Be thou our ruler, guardian, guide, and stay;

Thy word our law, thy paths our chosen way."

The dynamics of Masonry are rooted in the power offaith, the power of truth, and the power of exemplary liv-ing. No man is an island. No man lives to himself alone.No man can hold Masonry in his heart without showing itin his deeds.

"Bring me men to match my mountains,

Bring me men to match my plains,

Men with Empires in their purpose

And new eras in their brains."Brothers, we are assembled here from 250 Lodges,

from communities near and far across the length andbreadth of our Commonwealth of Minnesota. We are herefor the purpose of discussing and counselling with eachbther, and acting upon matters which are of vital impor-tance to our Fraternity, not only for this day, but for timeto come. For the guidance we need now, and always,


may we "lift up our eyes unto the hills from whencecometh our help. Our help cometh from the Lord."When we leave this temple, and are separated one fromanother, and return to our Home Lodges, may we con-tinue to be inspired to be better men and better Masonsbecause we have been together. Let aII of us then, youand I and each of us, kneel again at our respective Mason-ic altars, knowing that as we do we are indeed all at onealtar, before one God. Let us then and there dedicate andre-dedicate ourselves to the service of God and mankind,firm in our conviction and pu{pose as:

"We are building every day,

In a good or evil way,

And the structure as it grows

Will our inmost self disclose

Until in every arch and line

All our faults and failings shine.

It may be a castle grand,

Or a wreck upon the sand.

You may ask, "'What building this,

That can be both pain and bliss,

That can be both dark and fair?"Behold - its name is "Character"

Build it well what ere we do

Build it strong and straight and true

Build it sound, and clean, and broad

Build it for the eye of God."

My Brother, every man can reach as high as his ideals.How high is your grasp?

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON FRATERNALASSISTANCE AT ROCHESTER

To the lllost Worshipful Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Minnesota:

Your Committee on Fraternal Assistance at Rochester re-ports as follows on its activities during the past Masonic year.

The Committee this past year has consisted of the followingBrethren: W. Bro. Charles F. Stroebel of Rochester, W. Bro.Sam A. Boyd of Winona, W. Bro. Homer Goss of Lewiston, Bro.Harold E. Whitney of Mantorville and with Past Grand MasterWillard L. Hillyer of Winona as Chairman. No formal meetingsof the committee were necessary durfurg the year as no mattersrequiring action by the Committee came up for attention. Ourstaff is now so effieient that most questions arising can be ad-justed by telephone consultation between W. Bro. Stroebel of theMayo Clinic, our Representative, and the Chairman, without hav-ing to call the Committee to journey to Rochester for a meeting.

The same effective aqrd careful work has been done this pastyear by our Representative and Visitor Brother Leslie M. Thorn-ton and his Visiting Assistant Bro. Roy W. Goddard and by Bro.Don Milne, our office assistant. The Committee wishes to compli-ment each of them on their faithful attention to the duties en-trusted to them in this fine piece of Masonic charitable work.That it is recognized far beyond the borders of our Jurisdictioar isevidenced by the many letters received expressing appreciationfor the services rendered to Brethren coming to Rochester andfor the attention given them and their families while there. An-other evidence of the recognition of the work of our Representa-tive has been the requests that have come for him to speak beforemeetings icr other Jurisdictions and we have been pleased to havehim accept these engagements after approval of the Grand LodgeCorporate Trustees.

The Special work at the State Hospital was not activated dur-ing the past year due to there being no members of our Fraternityin that Hospital who were able to participate. The use of newdrugs, the shortening of the hospital periods needed by thosecommitted, transfers to other institutions left only those in theState Hospital who were not physically able to benefit i,n this pro-gram. This situation is being watched carefully and wheneverthe work can be resumed it will again be activated and will besupported as heretofore by the Scottish Rite Bodies of Winonaand the Masonic Bodies of Rochester who have also financed ourannual Christmas remembrances, the outing, when possible, forthe Brethren at the State Hospital.

97


The gifts of Christmas plants aud cards in the name of theGrand Lodge were taken to the rooms of all Brethren confined inany Rochester Hospital or Rest Home together with boxes offruits. candies, smokes, etc., to those permanently in such institu-tions. This service brings forth much favorable comment and isgreatly a.ppreciated by the rpcipients. Our Lodges could greatlyassist in our work if they wc[tld remember members confined inhospitals by cards and visitsto cheer these patients and aid themto a speedy recovery.

Your Committee recomends the same appropriations from theBenevolence Fund for the operation of this work for the nextfiscal year, namely;

Salary of Grand Lodge Representative . . . . $5,300.00

For Relief Assistant as needed on basis of $85.00 perweek . 510.00

Salary of part time office clerk on basis of $90.00 permonth 1,080.00

REPORT OF MASONIC MEMORIAL HOSPITAL FUND.INC.

To The Most lVorshipful Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Minnesota

Masonic Memorial Hospital had its inception among Masonsof Minnesota in a profound sense of the tragedy of those afflictedwith terminal cancer. As research discovers the cure for cancer,this hospital will continue to serve those stricken by other dis-eases not yet conquered. Its beneficent work is destined to con-tinue so long as mankind suffers the assault of disease.

In a campaign during 1956-57 Masons set out to raise by volun-tary gifts from its members, the sum of $500,000 to pay for halfthe cost of the $1,000,000 hospital; and the University would try toget the other half million from federal aid and other sources. Thegenerosity of our Brothers was so overwhelming that their giftspaid for the full cost of the hospital, $1,000,000.

The cornerstone was laid in IVlasonic ceremonies on October19, 1957, and the completed hospital was dedicated and presentedby the Masons of Minnesota to the. University of Minnesota onOctober 4. 1958.

The Masonic Memorial is operated by, and as a part of, Uni-versity Hospitals. We are grateful to the administrative staff,and skilled and dedicated physicia'ns, surgeons and nurses whoare giving care and treatment to cancer patients not only to re-lieve suffering, but to aid in rehabilitating many who have re-sumed useful places in home and community.

Since the opening of the hospital four years and five monthsago a total of 4,061 patients have been served. They have stayed anaverage of. 24.4 days each, which places the number of patientdays of care at 99,033. Deaths have numbered 670. Discharges togo home or to other stations of University Hospitals have been3,391 patients. There are 80 beds in the hospital, and occupancyduring the past year has almost always been 100%o.

Masonic Memorial Hospital Fund, Inc. is the non-profit volun-teer organization which directed the original fund-raising effortthat resulted in the building of the million dollar hospital. Thisfund organizirtion is very much alive and in operation receivinggifts, and memorials and bequests from persons who are keepinga continuing interest in the work at Masonic Memorial Hospital.We report to you as delegates to this Grand Lodge and to all Ma-sons in Minnesota the following financial information. Total re-ceipts from the start of the fund activity in November 1955 andthrough February 28, 1963 amounted to $1,165,278.90. Disburse-


ments have been $1,083,980.45, which furcludes $1,000,000 paidfor construction of the hospital, $10,233.37 paid to the University

Building in Minneapolis. There is a balancr of $81,657.83 in theFund which will be used for future needs at the hospital.

In January of this year University officials explained to theBoard of Directors and members of the Masonic Memorial Hospi-tal Fund, Inc. the current and future needs of the Masonic Hospi-tal. Dr. O. Meredith Wilson, University President, Dr. Robert B.Howard, M. D., Dean of the Chllege of Medical Sciences, and Mr.Ray M. Amberg, Director of University Hospitals, pointed outthat the Masonic Memorial is being operated at full bed capacity,that there is need for a third floor addition to be devoted to pa'tient care facilities in 50 single-bed rooms, and a fourth floor toresearch laboratory facilities. It is estimated the cost will be$1,100,000.

Following is a detailed description of the need for the addi-tional hospital facilities.

Third Flonr Bed Space: It is recommended that approximately50 beds of single unit type be placed on the third floor. The needfor individual units has occurred because of two requirements:(1) Many patients undergoing chemotherapy for cancer developlowered resistance to infection and must be placed on protectiveisolation. This requires a single room. Currently there is an in-sufficient number of single rooms, and frequently a double roommust be utilized for only one patient. (2) The presence of unus-ually ill patients has required the use of a single room and itwould be desirable to have more facilities of this type becaqseof the noticeable increase in the advanced type patient.

The current institution has no facilities for the care of the pe-diatric patients. It is desirable to provide bed facilities for chil-dren undergoing cancer chemotherapy or irradiation. This wouldnot include bassinet tYPe care.

In addition on the third floor, it is recommended that a suit-able loung€ be installed as curreertly exists on the second floor.The usuai nursing facilities are required' A conference room isnot necessary.

Research Laboratories, Fourth Floor: The fourth floor wouldprovide approximately 10,000 square feet of usable space for

laboratory and office facilities. A laboratory unit would consistof a room 250 square feet in size with an adjoining cubicle for aresearch fellow. Approximately 20 such units would be available

1. Pediatries: This section would provide facilities for thestud;' of malignant disease problems in children. This involvesstudies of iroar metabolism, cancer chemotherapy, and hematology.These studies would be carried out concurrenily with patientsthat would be on the Masonic Hospital wards.

2. Mediclne: The role of chemotherapy in the care of cancerpatients has assumed a role equal to that of surgery and irradia-tion. A large number of the patients now in the Masonic Hospitalreceive chemotherapy either as a service case or under an investi-gative program. The expansion of this aspect of cancer has be-come an increasingly important one and involves all of the fieldsof patient care. It is desirable that a section be available for theexpansion of this field in the Department of Internal Medicine.Included in the expansion are the needs for the developmentof new pharnracological agents to be tested under an animalscreening program and human use. Further needed in this areais a development of the field of immunology as it relates to can-cer. The Department of Medicine has a physician coming in 1963who is working on protein metabolism, immunology and the im-munological aspects of the cancer problem.

3. Surgery: On to the Departmentof Surgery in whic o cancer diagnosis,cancer detection; be provided. Thiswould include the isolation of cancer cells from various sourcesof the human body, c s as relating to problemsof surgery, developm ts, and study of the prob.lems of perfusion of gents.

4 Other Faeilities: Provision for laboratory facilities that couldbe used by all of the units is necessary. Two laboratory unitswould provide for the installation of an electron microscope,which would be available to the investigators on the floor for thenecessary work in the field of cellular study.

Cold Room. A walk-in cold room area for the use of all thelaboratory units would be desirable.


A Women's Locker Room and Lounge: As required.

Roof Deek A roof deck on the roof of the fourth floor for pa-tients who are sufficiently well to be wheeled outdoors would bedesirable. An area on the roof would provide a secluded outdoorfacility and should include an awning type area.

Seminar Room: An area for the coordination of scientific in-formation and for meetings of small scientific groups is deeplyrequired in this area. No adequate facility of the type contem-plated is available in the hospital. This room should provide roomfor approximately 40 people, be equipped with the best of visualaids, and provide room for patients to be brought in for consider-ation of treatment, teaching purposes, and investigative purposes.

Air Conditioning: Provisions for central air conditioning wouldbe installed at the time of construction, but the cost of the airconditioning unit would be additional.

My Brothers, when the campaign was in progress for the $1,-000,000 to erect the present two-story hospital, Masons were toldthat the foundations of the building would be laid to accommodatea total of four floors. The need for these additional facilities hasbeen explained to us. The privilege to finish the job now is ours.

There is a resolution before this Grand Lodge, for your con-sideration and ballot, to approve a campaign to raise $1,100,000by voluntary contributions from individual Brother Masons ofMinnesota for the purpose of constructing the hospital addition.

Brethren, here is our opportunity to once more put our Ma-sonry into action, to give a bit of our worldly goods in the practiceof true Masonic charity, to stretch forth our hand of compassionto men and women suffering from the malignant disease. Let usvoice our approval, let us work with willing hearts and hands, letus give, not until it hurts, but until we feel good, to ease thetroubled mind and cool the fevered brow, in this our finest Ma-sonic hour.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON DE MOLAYM. W. Grand Master, Dlsttngulshed Guests, Members of the Grand

Lodge and Brothers:

Your committee on DeMolay wishes to submit the followingreport on its activities for the past year.

This past year the committee has met on two occasions anddiscussed the many problems and facets concerning the Order ofDeMolay and its relationship to the Masonic Fraternity. Masonryis agafun this year losing ground numerically, not only in oirr state,which had a loss oI 423 during the year 1962, but in a majority ofthe states throughout the nation. One reason is that our membersare getting older and consequently the mortality rate is climbinghigher each I'ear, and, by the same token we are not attractingenough young men to take the place of those who, either throughdeath or some other reason are dropping out of their lodges.

DeMolay can and should provide one means of attracting suchyoung men into our Masonic Bodies, but in order to do that theywill need the help of not only the Grand Lodge of Minnesota, butof the many subordinate, or Blue Lodges, throughout the state.

Approximately 35Vo of DeMolay membership is from Masonicaffiliated families, yet about 70Vo of all DeMolays eventually pe-tition and become members of a Masonic Blue Lodge and are us-ually active in other Masonic Bodies. DeMolay has a definite af-finity with Masonry as can be shown here in our own Grand Lodge.We have now, one Past Grand Master and four present GrandLodge Line officers who are former DeMolay members, all fiveof whom have been honored by DeMolay by having the Rank andDecoration of Legioarnaire of the DeMolay Legion of Honor con-ferred upon them. What better attest can we have for DeMolayin our own state than to have these men who have dedicated anddevoted themselves to DeMolay and to Masonry, that they will

It is the feeling of this committee that the Grand Lodge shouldenact the {recessary legislation, at this annual communication ifpossible, or some future communication, to fulfill the followingrecommendations of the Permanent Standing Committee on De-_Molay.

1. That a portion of each Minnesota Mason or one completeissue each year be devoted to DeMolay pubticity and itsactivities.

2. That either a DeMolay talk or a conference subject on De-Molay be included in each Area Conference for the nextyear.

3. That the District Representatives at their official visitationsto the individual BIue Lodges, give a short talk on DeMolayand if no chapter exists there, give instruction on how toget one started. Material to be furnished by the DeMolayorganization.

4. toheon

5. That in the Blue Lodge petition for membership by initia-tion, in Minnesota, a question be inserted as to whether thepetitioner is a former DeMolay or is at present a SeniorDeMolay, thus having a closer tie than ever before withDeMolay.


We further recommend that each Blue Lodge not now spon-soring a DeMolay Chapter seriously consider starting one. A chap-ter is not hard to get started, about all it.needs is some bols be-tween the ages of 14 and 21, of good morals and a sincere beliefin God, and a few dedicated adults who are willing to spend afew hours a week giving these same boys some advice in theoperation of a DeMolay Chapter. The adult advisors should notdo the actual work but give the boys the necessary advice andlet them do the work of the Chapter, after all it is their chapterand they should run it and do the work.

Dividends received from participation in this wonderful char.acter-building youth orgenization cannot be counted in the mone-tary sense alone but in the end results of better men through bet-ter preparation for the manhood ydars; remember A BOY IS THEONLY THING GOD CAN USE TO MAKE MAN and A MAN ISTHE ONLY THING WE CAN USE TO MAKE A MASON, so let'sget behind this DeMolay movement and make better men of ourboys and reap the harvest by having more and better Masons.

AREA CONFERENCE COMMITTEE REPORT


The 1962-63 Area Coarference Committee reports that EightConferences were held around the State covering 27 of the 30Districts and 267 of the 292 Constituent Lodges of this GrandJurisdiction.

Programs at each Conference were alike. Group discussionscovered "Functioning of Investigating Committees", "Masonry'sInterest in Public School Education", "Obligations of a Mason toHis Comrnunity" and "What Can The Grand Lodge Do For You",were all moderated and evaluated by Masons from the conferencearea.

Masonry's Humanitarian Program in Minnesota: The MasonicHome in Bloomington, its operation and procedure for entry, fu-ture needs and plans were explained by the Home Superinten-dent, W. Bro. Hodgson. The Rochester Hospital Visitation workand its operation were presented by Brother Thornton of Roches.ter. M. W. Past Grand Master Hegman, president of the MasonicMemorial Hospital Fund Incorporated reported on the success ofthe operation of our Memorial Hospital on the University Camp.us. The MSA and the continued need for the return of the BlueEnvelopes was mentioned.

A brief resume of Grand Lodge Committees and their activi-ties was presented by a Grand Lodge Officer or a Committeeman.

Two papers: "Building Masonic Membership" and "Fraterni-zation" were each prepared and read by local talent.

All Conferences, except at Sandstone, St. Paul and Minnea-polis were concluded with a social hour and a banquet. Our GrandMaster, or our Grand Orator, elimaxed the evening with an in-spiring address.

Wherein the number of Lodges represented and the LodgeOfficers attendance was not as good as it should have been, thediscussion, participation and attention were all excellent.

The following tabulation pictures the results of this years ac-tivities and further emphasizes the need to stimulate constituentLodge Officer attendance and Lodge representation at theseConferences.

NECROLOGY REPORTHow inadequate an obituary is, which appears in the daily

papers. As we read these death notices of our Brothers, wherefhe date of birth and of death and the survivors are listed,it does not tell us of the affection we felt for him, for the serv-ice which he rendered to his community. It would be impos-sible for us to have an extended tribute to each of the 1,528Brothers of our Jurisdiction who have ascended Jacob's Ladderto that undiscovered country from whose bourne no trav.elerreturns.

As Masons we believe in immortality. We believe we have"a building of God which is not made with hands eternal inthe heavens." In the Minneapolis Valley of the Scottish Ritethere is a mural painting sixty-four feet long and eight feethigh which depicts man's search for light. On the top of oneof the scenes is the outline of a city in the distance, indefinitein outline, yet clear in meaning. Every one of us has his ownconcept of what that distant land holds for us. Regardless ofhow we conceive it, we all strive to be worthy of a place inGod's eternal kingdom. This painting is the expression of ourfaith in the life eternal.

Two members of Grand Lodge have died this past year.M. W. Bro. Edwin James Thomas Simon, the oldest Past GrandMaster; he was born in Minneapolis in 1886, spent his profes-sional life as a dentist in St, Paul and died July 16, 1962. M. W.Bro.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON FRATERNALCORRESPONDENCE AND RELATIONS WITH OTHER

JURTSDTCTTONS

To the M. W. Grand Lotlge A.F. & A.M. of Minnesota:

Your Committee on Fraternal Correspondence and Relationswith Other Jurisdictions herewith submits its report:

INDIAUnder the date of August 30'

quest from the Grand Lodge ofGrand Lodge. We have obtainefrom the Commission on InformConference of Grand Masters of Masons in North America:

Grand Officers installed by the Right Worshipful, the DeputyGrand Master of England. The Grand Master is Most WorshipfulMajor General Dr. Sir Raza Ali Khan, Nawab of Rampur.

from Scotland.This Grand Lodge has been recognized by the three parent

Grand Lodges, - England; Ireland and Scotland, and TheGrand Lodge of Israel. There can be no question as to itsregularity."

In view of this information, your committee recommendsthat the Grand Lodge of Minnesota, A.F. & A.M. grant the re-quest of the Grand Lodge of India for recognition and thatthe incoming Grand Master and Grand Secretary be authorizedto proceed with the necessary steps to carry such recognitioninto effect and to appoint a proper representative of this GrandLodge near the,Grand Lodge of India and to receive in returna corresponding appointment of a representative near theGrand Lodge of Minnesota.


TURKEYWe have received information that the Grand Lodge of Tur-

key is operating in a regular manner and is worthy of recog-nition. However, this committee has not received a formal re-quest for recognition so we are making no recommendationsat this Communication.

CUBALast year this Committee intentionally withheld any men-

tion of the Cuban situation. Recently one of our ConstituentLodges raised a question regarding the admittance of a CubanMason into its Lodge so perhaps we should give a resume ofthe Masonic situation in Cuba according to the information wehave at this time.

In the report of the Commission on Information for Rec-ognition of the Conference of Grand Masters of Masons inNorth America which was presented at the Grand Masters' Con-ference held in Washington, D.C. on Feb. 20, 1962 we find thefollowing which we quote in full:

"The events in Cuba in recent years have created a Masonicsituation to which the Commission has given much time in oureffort to procure reliable information which will be helpful tothe Grand Lodges in determining their recognition policy.

"We said last year that "with the Cuban situation in itspresent condition, the Commission feels that more time mustelapse before conclusions can be reached as to 'where we gofrom here.'

"A year has now elapsed. We have more information thanwe had a year ago, and yet, because of all the factors involvedthe problem has not yet been resolved.

"In March 1959, Juan Jose Tarajano was elected and installedas Grand Master of Masons in Cuba. In March 1960 he was re-elected and installed to serve a second year. By November1960, he and a number of the other Grand Lodge officers deem-ed it necessary to get out of Cuba if possible, because of thetrend towards Communism, and its threat, through infiltrationto engulf Freemasonry.

"On November 15, 1960, Brother Tarajano delegated hispowers to the Deputy Grand Master, and on the followingday arrived in Miami. He at once undertook the procuring ofvisas for other Grand Lodge officers, some of whom were ableto join him in Florida. The Deputy Grand Master was preventedfrom coming to Florida, but with some difficulty managed to

119


get to Venezuela where we understand he now is. In the mean-time, the Great SeaI of the Grand T,odge of Cuba had beensent to, and received by Brother Tarajano, who states that onDecember 31, 1960, he reassumed his duties as Grand Master,and on the same date declared a temporary recess in all Masonicactivities in Cuba, and that this was made known to all CubanMasons. He and his group appear to have observed carefullythe Masonic rules of propriety as to the Grand Lodge in Florida,and were made welcome there.

"By Grand Master Larson's edict of Feb. 24, 1961, his Proc-lamation of March 6, 1961, and the action of the Grand Lodgeof Florida on April 19, 1961. M. W. Brother Tarajano has beenrecognized by the Grand Lodge of Florida as in truth and infact the Grand Master of Cuba with the privilege of residencein Florida, and of continuing from there the existence andoperation of the Grand Lodge of Cuba.

"If the story could end here there would be no problem.The members of the Commission, and many of the Grand Mas-ters of the Conference have met lrother Tarajano, and someof those associated with him, and have been deeply impressedand profoundly moved by their story. So that emotionally, andsentimentally the members of our Commission would have beenhappy if the story could have ended here. However, from in-formation which we cannot discredit it appears that the CastroGovernment did not suppress Freemasonry in Cuba as Free-masonry has been suppressed in some other countries. WhenGrand Master Tarajano, and later on the Deputy Grand Masterleft Cuba the Senior Warden took over as the ranking officerleft in Cuba, and carried on until March, 1961. Then at theregular semi-annual Communication of the Grand Lodge, JorgeCuerva Calvo was elected Gr:ind Master.

"We are told that although the Grand Lodge Building was,with all other office buildings, taken over by the Government,the four Masonic floors have not been disturbed. It appears thatmost of the Lodges of the Grand Lodge of Cuba are workingunder the direction of Grand Master Jorge Cuerva Calvo. How-ever, Caribbean Naval Lodge at Guantanamo Naval Base, whichrvas chartered by the Grand Lodge of Cuba has given its aI-legiance to Brother Tarajano as Grand Master.

"The Commission has received a written statement fromCuba as follows: "I ought again to make it clear to you thatthe Grand Lodge of Cuba is a fully independent, self-governingbody under the only control of its members, and under the Pres-idency of the Grand Master. In accotdance with the Property

"We have been informed that the Inter'American Confer-ence, consisting of all Latin-Ameiican Grand Lolggs has gone

on r6cord as aflirming the validity of the Grand Lodge of Cubanow working in Cuba.

"The Commission consulted Most Worshipful Roscoe Poundas to the status of the Grand Lodge now working in Cuba.

Masters of Masons in North America, made in February of 1g62.Many of you probably read the news item appearing in the

morning papers of Sept. 25, 1962 where the Castro forces hadmoved in on a Grand Lodge Communication, arrested manyof those present and abolished Masonry in Cuba. What th6condition is there now, we are not sure. We do not have thereport of the Commission on Information for Recognition of

We do know that on February 14, 1963 the Grand Masterof Florida, M. W. Brother Wm. S. Christian, issued the followingedict:

"To the Masters, Wardens and Brethren of the particularLodges of the Grand Jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge, A.F. & A.M.of Florida:

"Whereas, Most Worshipful Brother6th day of March, A.L. 5961, A.D. 1961,Master of Masons of Florida, issued a

forth in the said edict, and

"Whereas, Dr. Juan Jose Tarajano, Grand Master of Masonsof Cuba in Exile, did, on the 9th day of February, A.L. 5963'A.D. 1963, issue a decree suspending Carribean Naval Lgdgelocated at Guantanamo Naval Base, Guantanamo Bay, Cubauntil the Grand Lodge of Cuba, A.F. & A.M., now in Exile, re-sumes its normal Masonic activities in the National Territoryof Cuba, and declaring any Masonic work carried on by said


Carribean Naval Lodge to be clandestine and illegal, as is moiefully set forth in said decree, and

"Whereas, by virtue of said decree issued by Dr. Juan JoseTarajano, Grand Master of Masons of Cuba in Exile, there areno subordinate particular Lodges, or Masters and,/or Wardensremaining in good standing under the jurisdiction of the GrandLodge of Cuba in Exile, (which fact is deeply regretted by thisGrand Jurisdiction in view of all other particular Lodges inCuba having been placed in recess by a previous decree issuedby Dr. Juan Jose Tarajano, Grand Master of Masons of Cuba inExile ), and

"Whereas, further investigation has shown that the previousfindings of the Grand Jurisdiction of Florida, F. & A.M. havebeen substantiated, to the effect that the civil authorities ofCuba have not permitted Masonry to operate freely in Cuba,have occupied the Masonic Grand Temple in Havana witharmy troops, have continued to harass and arrest Cuban Masonsand have seized records and property pertaining to Masonry inCuba, and

"Whereas, it is self-evident that the present regime of Cubahas continued and, in fact, has increased the Communistic formof Government in Cuba, with this totalitarianism and its incom-patibility with Freemasonry, and is violently opposed to thetenets of our Fraternity as defined in the Constitution of theMost Worshipful Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masonsof the State of Florida;

"Now, therefore, I, William S. Christian, Grand Master ofMasons in Florida, in order to continue to protect and safeguardFreemasonry and Masonic Lodges in the Grand Jurisdiction ofFlorida do now issue this edict and I hereby direct:

"(1) That the Grand Lodge of Florida continue its non-recognition of any Masonic and/or Frateqnal ties with the GrandJurisdiction of Cuba in Cuba;

"( 2 ) That, until further notice no Lodge in this GrandJurisdiction of Florida, F. & A.M., nor any of its Masters, Wa.r-dens, and Brethren recognize or admit any brother, without ex-ception, claiming Masonic affiliation through a Lodge of Cuba,whether through the former Grand Lodge of Cuba, in Cuba, orthrough the Grand Lodge of Cuba in Exile.

"(3.) That Dr. Juan Jose Tarajano, continue to be recognizedas the last duly elected Grand Master of Masons of Cuba untilsuch time as the Grand Jurisdiction of Florida, F. & A.M. deter-mines that Freemasonry once again is operating and function-


ing lawfully in Cuba and the Grand Lodge of Cuba elects a newGrand Master of Masons of Cuba.

"(4) That this edict shall be read at the next regularmeeting, i.e., Stated Communication of all particular Lodgesof the Grand Jurisdiction of Florida after receipt thereof, andthereafter read at all Stated Communications until the 134thAnnual Communication of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodgeof Florida.

"(5) That the Grand Secretary shall make such distributionof the edict to the Masonic World as shall be appropriate.

"This edict made and issued, and to be effective, from this,the 14th day of February, A.L. 5963, A.D. 1963.

Signed - William S. Christian, Grand Master

From this edict it is apparent that no Cuban Mason, claim-ing affiliation through a Lodge of Cuba, whether through theformer Grand Lodge of Cuba, in Cuba, or through the GrandLodge of Cuba in Exile, can gain admission into a Lodge .inFlorida. Whether or not this Grand Jurisdiction of Minnesotashould follow this example, this committee is unable to decide.

It is possible that we may occasionally find a returning serv'iceman who may be a member of Carribean Naval Lodge locatedat Guantanamo Naval Base, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. As men'tioned in the edict of the Grand Master of the Grand Lodge ofFlorida, this Lodge was suspended on February 9, 1963 by theGrand Master of the Grand Lodge of Cuba in Exile. These serv-icemen now find themselves in an embarrassing situation. Wehope to have more information regarding this and may beable to add a supplement to this report when it is publishedin the Annual Proceedings of this Communication.

Because the information and assistance we receive fromtime to time from the Commission on Information for Recog-nition of the Conference of Grand Masters in North America isso valuabie to your committee, we recommend that an ap-propriation of $200.00 be made so that if the usual request forfunds is received from that Commission, it will be availablefor them.

It is further recommended, that an appropriation of $25.00be made for postage, if necessary, for the use of your committee.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON PUBLISHING.THE MINNESOTA MASON'To'the M. W. Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Minnesota:

Your Committee makes the following report and summaryof its work during the past year.

It has been the goal of your Committee to place ,'TheMinnesota Mason", free, in the hands of all member Masons inMinnesota, now numbering 69,543. Circulation one year agowas 55,000; this has increased during the past year to 64,742who received the current March 1963 issue. We are grateful tothe many Lodge Secretaries who have provided our Grand LodgeOffice with names and current addresses of Brother MasterMasons of their Lodge. Additional names will be added anddeleted as the information is received from Secretaries.

During the past year seven issues of our magazine have beenpublished, aggregating a total of 60 pages. Six of these issuescarried eight pages each, and one had twelve pages.

Total cost of "The Minnesota Mason" this year amounted to$L4,282.87 and is made up of the following items:

Printing, address and mailing fiL2,572.17

Postage on undelivered copies returned

TOTAL COST . ....fiL4,282.87

Appropriation .. L3,925.48

Cost exceeded appropriation by $ 3b7.39

This amount over the appropriation was caused entirely bythe expense of return postage which had to be paid, underthe new postal regulations, on undelivered copies returned be-cause of incorrect address, or because the Brother had moved.We urge all Brothers and Lodge Secretaries to notify "The Min-nesota Mason" of changes in address as promptly as they occurby writing to our Grand Lodge Office in Masonic Temple, St.PauI 2. Minnesota,

Perhaps a more interesting way to easily remember thesecost figures is to think of them in the following terms: Each

Clipping service


issue of "The Minnesota Mason" costs 3.2 cents when it arrivesin your mail box. Seven issues per year cost 22.4 cents whichis paid by Grand Lodge to put the magazine in your home.

We take this opportunity to thank Brother Ralph M. Turtin-en, our Editor, for the fine work he has done in editing andpreparing our paper this year. He writes an interesting style,and has a splendid talent for planning each issue.

Our thanks are also extended to Brother George A. Rosslnan,of Grand Rapids, who publishes our magazine in his fine mod-ern and efficient plant.

To all the Lodge Officers and Brothers who this year havebeen so faithful in sending our Editor news stories and pictures,we are most grateful. Our Grand Master, Most Worshipful Harv'ard B. Olson, has also given our Committee the finest cooper-ation and encouragement by attending our Committee meetings,and with his written messages in eaeh issue.

Finally, my Brothers, it will be a continuing challenge tothis Committee to give you a well balanced magazine withnews of coming Masonic occasions, stories and pictures of BlueLodge and Grand Lodge events, and interesting inspirationalMasonic writings. Your Committee will be alert to these ob-jectives, and ways and means of improving your "MinnesotaMason" to make it the publication you and your family will bemost pleased to have in your home.

REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT OF THEMINNESOTA MASONIC HOME

To the Minnesota Masonie Home Corporation andto the Grand Lodge A.F. & A,M. of Minnesota

The year 1963 marks the 57th Anniversary of the MinnesotaMasonic Home Corporation, although the Home did not comeinto actual existence until 1920. During these many years overa thousand worthy eligible men and women have been admittedto the Home through the sponsorship of Minnesota MasonicLodges and Eastern Star Chapters.

As President of the Board of Trustees it again becomes myduty as well as privilege to present to you a report on the ac-tivities and business affairs of the Masonic Home for the vearending December 31, 1962.

I am happy to report that your Masonic Home continues tofunction efficiently and exceptionally well under the able direc-tion of its Superintendent, Norval W. Hodgson, and his co-workers.

RESIDENTSAt the close of 1962 there were 212 residents in the Masonic

Home; 168 were women, 44 were men; there were 12 marriedcouples. You will note from these figures that the women faroutnumber the men.

During 1962 we admitted 43; there were 45 deaths and tworesidents withdrew.

The average age of those in the Home during 1962 was82.2; the year before it was 82.1. At the end of the year therewere 26 residents over 90 years of age; 100 were between 80and 90; 80 were between 70 and 80, and six were under 70years of age.

Brother Thomas Yould, who is our oldest resident, will be106 years of age on the 13th of April, Brother Yould has thedistinction of being the oldest living Mason in the world. Hebecame a Master Mason on the 7th of May, 1879, in Burns LodgeNo. 10 of Halifax, Nova Scotia. Later he transferred to Shek-inah Lodge No, 171, where he served as Worshipful Master in189B.

At the close of the year there were seven approved applica-tions on the waiting list and several applications were on filepending Board action.


INFIRMARYThe infirmary continues to operate at an above normal

capacity; it is here that your Board of Trustees, as well as allMaster Masons in this Jurisdiction, are being confronted witha problem. On many occasions those of us who are charged withthe administration of the Home must refuse with heavy hearts,admission to individuals who require immediate infirmarycare, because the facilities are inadequate to care for all whoare in need of hospital attention.

The average daily census in the infirmary for 1962 was 60.3;at the close of the year there were 67 patients in the infirmarywith 56 considered permanent.

ASSETSBy reason of many substantial gifts and good management

the resources of the Home continue to grow. The total assetswere $5,502,654.13 as of December 31, 1962.

The reports of the Secretary, the Treasurer and the audit-ing firm of Halloway, Knutson and Bowers will be printedin full in the annual Bulletin; these reports give complete de-tail of the financial affairs of the Home.

PER CAPITA COSTThe average monthly maintenance cost per resident was

$133.54 in 1962; $124.11 in 1961; $117.52 in 1960; $107.40 in1959; $99.07 in 1958 and $97.25 in 1957.

The per capita cost includes all expenditures, includingnursing care, doctors and drugs, both in the infirmary and theguest lodge. We feel this is a very good record compared withthe costs of other comparable homes. Much credit for this goesto the loyalty of our 70 full time and 24 1iaft time employees.

ENTERTAINMENTDuring the year many of our Lodges, Chapters of the East-

ern Stars and various other bodies and individuals, contributedliberally to the entertainment funds of the Home. In additionto monies, many came to the Home and entertained our resi-dents with musical numbers, home talent and other forms ofprograms - Osman and Zuhrah Shrine Tu-ptb circuses,Zuhrah Horsemen Showdeo and several band concerts. To alLof the participants we are greatly indebted and sincerely ex-press our appreciation.

PICNIC GROUNDSSeveral years ago the Masonic Home developed a picnic

area on the Home grounds. The principal motive was to providea common meeting place where the Masons, their families andfriends could enjoy an outing and at the same time visit the


Masonic Home. The response has been remarkably favorableand the past several years there hasn't been enough Sundaysin the summer months to accommodate all of the groups thatwant -to avail themselves of this privilege. Last year a wellconstructed building was erected on the grounds providing con-venient rest room facilities.

TRUSTEESTwelve trustees are elected for a term of three years and

serve without compensation.The terms of the following trustees expire at the 1963 an-

nual corporation meeting and their successors should be elected.From the Grand Lodge

CONCLUSIONOur Grand Master, Most Worshipful Brother Harvard B.

Olson, has been exceedingly helpful and it has been most grati-fying to have him give so much of his time in behalf of theMasonic Home the past year. We are sincerely grateful.

The O. E. S. through its Worthy Grand Matron, Mrs. Mar-cella Olson, has again contributed dependable service throughnot only the Grand Chapter but the numerous subordinate Chap-ters as well. The appearances of the Grand Officers and Com-mittee Chairman at many of the functions has had a significantmeaning to the residents of the Home.

To the Reverend Edwin Knudsen, Pastor of Oak GrovePresbyterian Church, we want to express our wholehearted ap-preciation for his consecrated devotion in serving our residentseach Sunday morning and looking after their spiritual needs.

We are indeed fortunate in having W. Brother Norval W.Hodgson as our Superintendent. He is steadfastly faithful, ef-ficient and keenly interested in the welfare of each and everyresident of the Home.

To each of you we are extremely grateful for your cooper-ation, your support and your understanding loyalty.

The Minnesota Masonic Home will grow and prosper in in-fluence and in strength to the extent that we do those thingswhich are pleasing to God and useful to man.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON JURISPRUDENCETo the M. W. Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Minnesota:

having in mind that whether a dispensation should be grantedbecause of emergency rests largely upon Masonic Jurispru-dence arrd in the sound discretion of the Grand Master' Wedesire to call attention to certain portions, for the informationof the members of the Craft.

A dispensation was granted to Bloomington Lodge No. 340to hold two Special Communications at the Richfield LodgeHall, one on the 20th of April, 1963 and one on the 25th of

r37


May, 1963. It has not been considered necessary to disapprovethe granting of this dispensation and we would not mention it,if it were not for the fact that to pass it without question, mightbe construed as a precedent that a Grand Master may as a gen-eral practice pass on what may or may not be done followinghis term of office. Each Grand Master should have full sayduring the term for which elected. We believe this is the intentof our Masonic law.

However, let it be said, that the Grand Master first refusedthe request and later, after receiving a letter from the DeputyGrand Master stating that he felt that the dispensation shouldbe granted because of the time required to make preparationfor the needed change; the Grand Master then issued the dis-pensation. We therefore recommend that the incoming GrandMaster reaffirm this dispensation as soon as practicable aftertaking office.

The Grand Master granted a dispensation to Forest LakeLodge No. 344, to hold Stated Communications in the walk-outbasement of the home of one of its members and approved theidea of said Lodge conferring degrees in the Hiram MasonicHall at Lindstrom, Minnesota until their new building is com.pleted. This meets with the approval of the Jurisprudence Com.mittee. However, the conferring of degrees by Forest LakeLodge in the Masonic Hall at Lindstrom, upon invitation ofHiram Lodge is not to be construed as a blanket dispensationby either Hiram Lodge or Forest Lake Lodge. Specific dispen-sations must be secured by the Lodge extending the invitationand show definite dates and degrees to be conferred.

The Consolidation of Lodge No. 305 and Lodge No. 18; andof Lodge No. 221 and Lodge No. 119, appear to have been per-fected in accordance with the Grand Lodge Regulation, andwe recommend that the same be approved.

Grand Master, we believe you have made many more visita-tions than most of your predecessors. Your sincere devotion toduty in your high office is appreciated by all. You have demon-

love for the Fraternity.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON REVISIONOF CODE

To the M. W. Grand Lotlge A.F. & A.M. of Minnesota:

The Committee to Study the Revision of the Code reportsto you herewith that because of the illness of our good Brotherand Committee Member Victor J. Michaelson for approximatelyeight of the last twelve months we were unable to bring ourassignment to the point of completion as had been scheduled.

We reported to you a year ago that except for such changesor additions made necessary by reason of action taken duringthe 1962 Annual Communication. and of course this is now trueas to changes or additions made necessary by reason of actiontaken during this 1963 Annual Communication, the revision ofthe Code itself was and is complete, and a year ago was ap-proved as to form and content by the Committee on Jurispru-dence. As was the fact a year ago, so is it still a fact, that thereremains only for completion the revision of the Index. In thisconnection your Committee is delighted to be able to informyou that this dreary and exceedingly painstaking task is cur-rently receiving the full time attention of a Brother, assistedby Brother Michaelson, whose employment for more than fortyyears was in an exceedingly restricted area of composing, edit-ing, and revising indexes. We are looking forward with youto an easy, workable, and completely professional Index.

Reluctantly, and certainly regretfully, the members of thisCommittee recommend once again that the Committee be con-tinued for the purpose of bringing this revision to a final con-clusion. If continued, this Committee requests an appropriationequal to the previous appropriation to be used as before.

I move that this report be accepted, and move further that

RESOLUTIONSRESOLUTION NO. 1

WHEREAS, Resolution No. 6 on Page 126 of the MinnesotaGrand Lodge Proceedings for 1962 appears to give ritual and lec-tures precedence over all other lodge business, and

WHEREAS, said Resolution No. 6 revived a regulationrvhich states:

"Any work of a lodge must be completed at the same com-munication at which it is commenced."

WHEREAS, it has conclusively appeared that many lodgesare working into the night and as a result the average memberIoses his interest and is unable to enjoy, understa'nd and appreci-ate the work. and

WHEREAS, stronger Masons and stronger Masonry canbe brought into being gradually by adopting a more suitable timefor giving the second and third sections of the three lecturesin said degrees,

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that ResolutionNo. 6 adopted by the Gra'nd Lodge of Minnesota at its proceedingsin 1962 is hereby cancelled and shall be of no further effect, and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that Sections 2 and 3 of theEntered Apprentice Degree Lecture, Section 2 of the FellowcraftDegree Lecture and Sections 2 and 3 of the Master Mason's De-gree Lecture may be deferred by the Master to a time when the


candidate can better profit from hearing them, provided that nocandidate may s6uon.e to a higher degree until he shall haveheard all sections of the lecture of the preceding degree.

Art. XII. Section 2LA - General regulations (omitted from1954 code) wii.hdrawn by sponsors.

RESOLUTION NO. 2Proposed resolutio,n to amend Article XII, Sections 12 and

23 of the General Regulations of the Grand Lodge:WHEREAS, experience of many lodges has shown that

fifty-year members who have devoted many years to the work ofMasonry have for one reason or another been unable to pay theirannual dues and ilany of them have been dropped on accountthereof or forced to be removed from the rolls and many of saidfifty-year members are living on small retirement incomes andthe payment of dues is a considerable burden upon them, and atthe same time it would be beneficial to Masonry that said mem-bers be maintained on the rolls of subordinate lodges so that theymay benefit by their long years of experience and the proposedamendment would work no hardship financially upon the subor-dinate lodges,

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that Article XII,Sections 12 and 23 of the Constitution of the Grand Lodge beamended to read as follows:

Section 12:

A lodge cannot exempt any member from the paymentof annual dues provided for in its By-Laws except as herefurafterset forth, but it may from time to time, by a majority vote, remitthe dues of a member either before or after such member shallhave been stricken from the rolls for non-payment of such dues.The Lodge, however, shall be liable for and must pay the GrandLodge dues of all nembers on its rolls, provided however, anymember of a Lodge who has paid dues for fifty (50) years and whois entitled to receive his fifty-year emblem, shall not be requiredto make any further payment of dues and his Lodge shall not beobliged to pay to the Grand Lodge the per capita dues and heshall be entitled to a life membership card.

Section 23:No Lodge shall make an honorary member nor a life mem-

ber with exemption from dues thereafter except in the case of amember who has paid his dues for fifty (50) years as provided forin Section 12 of this article.
