Throughout the sessions, each of the Distinguished Guests were invited to address the Grand Lodge. Each brought greetings from their respective jurisdictions and discussed various programs within their jurisdictions. It appeared that loss of membership and local participation were causing concern in each. However, the several ways and means of approaching these common problems seemed to be generatina interrest and enthusiasm and hopefully, would lead to better results in the year ahead.

Proceedings of (he

always enjoyed i t and had a good laugh with i t . When I was young in .Masonry in the e a r l y 5 0 ' s a group of us went i n t o the York R i t e . Woody was very exc i t e d about t h i s and he and Tom Raum took our p e t i t i o n s i n . There were about ten of us in the group. Woody c o u l d n ' t s t a y away. We went up there every Friday n i g h t and took our degrees and he had to be there every Friday n i g h t . One n i g h t t h e r e was a s h o r t a g e of h e l p . So they s u b s t i t u t e d and Woody was one of them. The degree had about five people on each s i d e of the lodge with swords. And as the Master concluded h i s p a r t , those in l i n e would draw t h e i r swords and p o i n t toward the middle. Woody, not knowing the degree, was alv;ays the l a s t one to draw h i s sword. He would fumble for i t and get i t out and we were a l l kind of s n i c k e r i n g under our b r e a t h . P r e s e n t l y you could almost see the cogs working in h i s head, and he thought boy, the next time I'm not going to be the l a s t . A s h o r t time l a t e r as the Master paused, Woody reached over, grabbed h i s sword, p u l l e d i t o u t , but that wasn't the time. He was the only one with a drawn sword. The blood rushed to h i s face, and he lowered h i s head as we a l l began to l a u g h . But he took i t in good s t r i d e . He was a good s p o r t and we laughed about i t many, many, times. He w i l l be s o r e l y missed a t Grand Lodge t h i s time, as we had assigned him s e v e r a l d u t i e s . If he were h e r e , he would be running around very busy t r y i n g to p l e a s e a l l of u s . In c l o s i n g , we mourn our b r o t h e r ' s p a s s i n g and y e t , " I s not t h a t more a s e l f i s h g r i e f for our own l o s s than for h i s change of s t a t e . Has he not a t l e a s t gazed beyond t h i s mortal sphere and achieved sublime and c e l e s t i a l l i g h t w h i l e we s t r u g g l e on in darkness t h i n k i n g in time you can a t t a i n e t e r n a l l i f e . Has he not solved the g r e a t e s t of a l l mysteries whose answer we cannot even guess, has he not entered i n t o the joys of the c e l e s t i a l realm? While we experience g r i e f and sorrow here below." Now l e t us bow our heads f o r a moment in remembrance of Woodrow Coleman. Amen, So mote i t be.

I cannot thank enough the D.D.G.M. and Area Coordinators for the fine effort, work, and dedication they have shown this year for Masonry. It would be impossible to be appraised of the condition of Masonry in Kansas without the exceptional reports given by the D.D.G.M,'s. Past Grand Masters I must apologize for not having more conferences with this great group of outstanding Masons. I held one meeting with the Past Grand Masters in January 1980. I feel it is important for the Grand Master to meet at least four times a year with the Past Grand Masters. To my knowledge this has not been done, and if I have errored this year it is that I have not had these four meetings with the Past Grand Masters, I therefore suggest to the Council of Administration, in the future you should meet at least four times a year with the Past Grand Masters. It is difficult to name each one separately because each one has added much to the strength of Masonry. But I would like to mention three. M:. W:. Ben Graybill, Past Grand Master, for his excellent ability in editing the Kansas Mason for so many years and making it one of the leading Masonic Publications in the United States, Also for the expert job of editing the History of Kansas Masonry, I also will mention M:.W:. Arthur C, Hodgson, Past Grand Master, Chairman of the Jurisprudence Commi ttee, I feel one of the most important Committees of Grand Lodge. His council and wisdom cannot be excelled. And, of course, a special thanks goes to my Masonic Father M:.W:. Robert H. Arnold, Past Grand Master, A Masonic Friend To All. The Masonic knowledge of this great group of men should net go untapped. My apologies. Grand Lodge Staff We are fortunate to have an exceptional Grand Lodge Staff, R:.W:. Albert O. Arnold Jr., R:,W:. Dave Recob, Jean Rader, Jack Werner, Lillian Wiant; and without their help-and cooperation a Grand Master would be unable to perform his task. They give unselfishly of their time to help any Mason at any time. Thank you. Belle Plaine Lodge #173 I owe a debt of gratitude to my Home Lodge and for the courtesy they have given me this year. Also, I appreciate more than words can say, the honor given me by the Officers of Belle Plaine Lodge #173 in opening the 124th Session of the Grand Lodge. Other Grand Jurisdictions I had the opportunity to attend the Grand Lodges of Missouri, Colorado, Oklahoma and the Grand Lodge of Scotland. Each one was a marvelous experience. The mos t outstanding experience this year as Grand Master was my visit to the Grand Lodge of Scotland, and having the opportunity to address the Grand Lodge Session. This experience I will never forget. Also, I want to personally thank the some 20 Masonic Brothers who accompanied me to the Grand Lodge Session, including M:.W:. Robert H. Arnold, PGM, M:.W:. John Murray, PGM, R:.W:. Warren Starns, R:.W:. Dr. Robert Jackson, W:. Hugh Richards, being Past Grand Masters and Grand Lodge Officers. This was a las ting memory for all Masonic Brothers who attended the Grand Lodge Session with me. A special thanks is due Brother Elbe of Harper Lodge #206, who made a set of gavels for me to present to the Grand Master of Scotland and the Grand Master of England, during my visit. The Gavels were very much appreciated by the two Grand Masters. The Grand Master of Scotland closed the Grand Lodge Session with his gavel, an honor to the Masons of Kansas.

Grand Lodge of Kansas

Appendant and Concordant Bodies I enjoyed visiting many York Rite and Scottish Rite meetings during the year. Especially having the opportunity to attend the Supreme Council Session in Washington, D.C., with W: . Richard Porter, Grand Senior Deacon. This was very much appreciated. I want to give a special thanks to the Midian Shrine Divan and its Potentate John Spratt for filling in for me during the year as I was Assistant Rabban, and was unable to attend the many Shrine functions because of my duties as Grand Master, Also, a special thanks to Midian Shrine Temple for presenting me a Grand Master's Fez, My thanks also go to Midian Arab Patrol and Midian Pipes and Drums for assisting in my installation as Grand Master in Topeka and in the opening ceremonies of the 124th Grand Lodge Session. I enjoyed visiting all five Shrine Temples this year and I want to congratulate the Shrine Temples for their dedication to Masonic Principles, and their sponsoring the East-West Shrine High School Football Game - from which all proceeds go to support the Shrine Crippled Childrens* Hospitals and Burns Hospitals. Youth Groups I urge all Masons to remember the Rainbow Girls, Job's Daughters and the DeMolay. These fine young people need our moral support, If this Great Country survives, we must educate our Youth and make them responsible citizens. It is our obligation as Master Masons to rededicate ourselves and assist anyway possible to help these young people. Our strength is in our youth. Special Recognition This year I gave special recognition in the form of a Plaque to M:.W:. and Honorable Judge Thomas C, Raum Jr., PGM, for his service to Masonry, serving in 1978-79 as Grand Master of the International Order of DeMolay. I congratulate M:.W:, Tom for his time, effort and dedication given to build DeMolay into a strong youth organization. I also had the opportunity to present Brother Kenneth Bumgarner a plaque on his attaining the high office of Royal Director of the Jesters of North America, My congratulations to Brother Kenny, This year as I visited Lodges throughout the Grand Jurisdiction, I presented each Master of the Lodge a Certificate of Recognition for his work, effort, and time given to his Lodge as Master,' I also gave each Master a Polaroid Picture of them receiving the Certificate for their scrapbook. Kansas Masonic Home We as Masons should be and are justly proud of our Masonic Home. As we enter into the 1980's and with the New 120 Bed Skilled Nursing Facility, and the long range plans for the Masonic Home, we will see the development of the Kansas Masonic Home into a leading Gerontology Medical Center. I congratulate Brother Jerry Lindenbaum, the administrator of the Home, for his expert ability and progressive attitude in performing his duties. This year the Masonic Home Board created a new position at the Home, that of Director of Development, W:. Brother James Foster is filling the position and I urge Lodges to contact Brother Jim to give your Lodge a program about the Home and the future plans of the Masonic Home. Visit the Masonic Home. You, as a Master Mason, will be proud to be a part of the Home. Remember the Home in your wills, bequests and gifts. I suggest each Mason give at least $1.00 a week to the Kansas Masonic Home.

A late proposal was received, but I did not feel we had the time to deal with it. This concerned an addition to Article VI of the Constitution.

I would be remiss if I didn't express my deepest respect, love and gratitude to my wife. Dr. Irene, and my Son, Bill, for their help and understanding in making it possible for me to take a year of my life from them to serve Masonry. Thank you both. Dad. History knows no resting place and no plateaus. All societies of which history informs us went through periods of decline, mos t of them eventually collapsed. Yet there is a margin between necessity and accident in which a Grand Master, by perseverance and intuition, must choose and thereby shape the destiny of his Craft. To ignore objective conditions is perilous; to hide behind historical inevitability is tantamount to moral abdication; it is to neglect the elements of strength and hope and inspiration which through the Centuries have sustained mankind. The Grand Master's responsibility is to struggle against transitoriness, and not to insist that he be paid in the coin of eternity. He may know that history is the foe of permanence, but no leader is entitled to resignation. A Grand Master owes it to his Craft to strive, to create and to resist the decay that besets all human ins ti tutions.

March 14, 1979 Dear Brethren:

Effective immediately as Grand Master of the M:,W:. Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Kansas I issue the following blanket waiver: Time between conferral of Degrees waived. Further, I waive all proficiency "requirements for advancement on all candidates, including Entered Apprentices and Fellow Crafts now carried on your records and new Petitioners. These waivers to remain in effect through my tenure of office. In permitting this action please be advised that this does not "mean that any of the work is to be omitted. All work must be conferred in a very proficient, solemn and impressive manner. It is my desire to have 5,000 new petitions this year. As this will mean added work for all Lodges, the following will be permitted: A group conferral of degrees can be accomplished using one candidate with the others witnessing the ceremony. But all degrees and lectures must be presented in a proficient manner. If you have a petition and your lodge is unable to act on that petition because of lack of time or whatever the reason, you may send it direct to the Grand Master, In turn it will be thoroughly examined and if approved, all degrees will be scheduled and conferred. In cases such as this, the raising fee will be $80.00, Of that amount $5.00 will go to the Masonic Home . Fifty dollars will be returned to the lodge who eventually will receive the petitioner as a new member. Twenty-five dollars will be retained by Grand Lodge for handling costs. It will be the lodge officer's obligation to continue to diligently promote and encourage the proficiency program within the'' lodge. You are to actively encourage lodge officers and members to obtain "B * s", "A * s" , "Master's", and "Unlimited" Certificates, I ask for your wholehearted cooperation. Fraternally, W. NOLAN ARTZ Grand Master March 14, 1979 Dear Brethren: I feel that it is important for all lodges to be involved in community affairs. Particularly in the field of charity. You are encouraged to make a $100.00 contribution to some charitable or worthy cause from within the community on a monthly basis. This is to include promotion of DeMolay, Jobs Daughters, Rainbow for Girls, or other youth activities including sports activities for both boys and girls. In view of the inflationary times, a recognized fact, the following fund raising activities are suggested: pancake suppers, chili suppers, potluck suppers, community dances, and bingo, if you are properly licensed. Be sure to have legal counsel advise the lodge before becoming involved with the latter, or any fund raising activity, to-be sure you are in compliance with all local and state laws. Fraternally, W. NOLAN ARTZ Grand Master

Let us as Kansas Masons continue to actively build and support our Lodges as strong institutions in our communities. Masonry must survive. I ask you as Grand Master.,Love or perish.

Consequently, th^e "cornerstone" of today is usually a stone inserted in th.e structure as a syrabolLc corne.rstone.. The ritual of Masonry uses the implements and tools of the operative Mason. While the original of th-S. order is lost in antiquity, many Masonic students believe that the fraternity is an outgrowth of the guilds of the masons who were th.e great cathedral builders of Europe. Consequently, tKere is the emphasis on th.e foundation or cornerstone which was structurally important and signaled the beginning of the structure.

I would be remiss if I did not mention the late Louis Schwinn, commissioner and former mayor of Coffeyville. Louis was a member of the fraternity and was particularly interested in this much needed structure and it was his wish that the Grand Lodge of Kansas lay the foundation stone for the building. Our city is a better city because Louis Schwinn was willing to give of his time and talents in the service to the people of Coffeyville in the sometimes thankless task of serving on a city's governing body. May this structure be dedicated to the late Andrew Carnegie who gave to Coffeyville its soon to be vacated library building, as he gave library buildings throughout the world; to all men and women to whom the acquiring of knowledge was of great importance, an endeavor which was not to stop with the end of formal education. And may we consecrate it to the furtherance of knowledge in this community; to the learning of peace; to learning of true brotherhood. May we never fail to remember that the task of this library, this learning tool, will never be completed - so long as man exists upon this Earth, he will be in search of more knowledge. May this completed building be but a corners tone, a foundation stone of a continually expanding and growing structure of interesting and entertaining, useful and valuable knowledge, Coffeyville will be a better place within which to live because of this structure." The mayor of the city presented the Grand Master with a key to the city and invited him and the other Grand Lodge Officers to return at any future dateo There being no further business. Grand Lodge was closed in Ample Form in the First Degree, Following the closing of Grand Lodge the Grand Lodge Officers were guests at a luncheon, held in the Coffeyville Shrine Barn,

The Grand Master welcomed those in attendance, and announced we would assemble outside the temple and proceed by automobile to St. John's Military School where the ceremonies would start at 2:00 p.m. Upon arrival at St, John's Military School, the Grand Lodge marched in procession to the dedication site and was seated with the other 300 persons and cadets in attendance in a special area reserved for them. Mr, Robert H. Kastner, President of City Plumbing Company, Salina, Kansas, acted as the Master of Ceremonies for this auspicious occasion in the history of St. John's Military School. He noted that it was just 51 weeks from Friday, October 26, 1979, that the old Vail Hall building caught fire and burned to the ground, and how heart rending it was to the cadets, faculty, and former members of the Corps of Cadets. He further stated that the Board of Trustees immediately undertook a fund raising campaign to rebuild Vail Hall and that in June, 1979, the construction contract was let out to the firm of Busboom s Raugh, General Contractors, based in Salina, Kansas. At the conclusion of his remarks and presentation of gifts to be deposited into the time box to be set in the cornerstone,Mr^ Kastner turned the speakers platform over to Colonel Keith G. Duckers, 32° KCCH, Goff No. 430, President of St, John's Military School, who requested the Grand Lodge to perform the ancient cornerstone ceremony.

(at community hall)

Prior to the opening of Grand Lodge a beautiful dinner was served by Wheeler Chapter No, 410, Order of the Eastern Star, in the community center building= The building was beautifully decorated for the season and a near capacity crowd was on hand. Following the dinner we were entertained by singers from the junior high school and remarks by W:. Ernest A, McClaine The Master of the lodge, W:. Paul W. Weiser, made introductions of lodge officers and our Grand Master, M;oW:. Wc Nolan Artz„ The Grand Master in turn introduced the Grand Lodge officers in his party, Mrs. Paul W, Weiser was called up to read a letter which had been received from their son and Brother Charles Eo Weiser who is currently stationed in Antarcticae He is a member of Antarctic Circle Masonic Club No. 1 in addition to Gaylord Lodge No. 183= The contents of the letter are as follows: "Gaylord Lodge No. 183, Gaylord, Kansas

67683:

Dear Fellow Masons: Congratulations on the redecoration and dedication of the lodge hall in this the 100th anniversary of Masonry in Gaylord. Masonry was first brought to antarctica when Admiral Byrd made his historical journey across the icy continent some fifty years ago. Since that historical moment. Masonry has continued to thrive and prosper here on the "ice".. At one point in time, Admiral Byrd, under special dispensation, opened a Lodge of Master Masons and degree work was performed in the Chapel of the Snows in McMurdo^ During the International Geophysical Year of 195 7, in January, the Antarctic Circle Masonic Club No. 1, was formed by a group of Nuvy Masons stationed at McMurdo Sound, Antarctica. The club has members located at all United States Research Stations on the Antarctic continent, McMurdo, South Pole, Siple, and Palmer. Periodically the members gather for the purpose of enjoying the fellowship of other Masonic brothers. Once again, we of the Antarctic Circle Masonic Club Noo 1 wish to congratulate Gaylord Lodge No. 183 on a very successful first century and look forward to an even better second century. Very truly yours, Charles E, Weiser, member of Gaylord Lodge No. 183 Antarctic Circle Masonic Club No, 1.' Needless to say the prospect of him spending the next year in the Antarctic caused some difficult moments for the family including his wife and three young sons. But he assures us he has many friends and a warm relationship with Antarctic Circle Masonic Club No. 1«

Proceedings of the

Brethren, friends, and ladies then went over to the lodge temple which was just one block from the community centerThe Grand Lodge officers proceeded to promenade in with Brothers Howard B, Cannon, Clarence E. Duston, Walter Jo Heide, and Wilbur Co Stewart, Bearers of the Symbolic Ark, The ancient ceremony of dedication was performed by the Grand Master, Deputy Grand Master, Grand Senior Warden and the Grand Junior Warden. The Grand Secretary read the ode. The Grand Master in his address highly complimented the Masons and Eastern Stars of Gaylord for having made this moment possible. Through their efforts they had refurbished, repainted, and recarpeted the lodge room. This without indebtedness, A most unusual photograph of the original Masonic Home was found in Gaylord Lodge. None of the Grand Lodge officers recalled seeing anything similar to this picture. It is to be duplicated and copies sent to the Grand Lodge and Kansas Masonic Home. Benediction was given by Reverend McDougle, This wonderful program was concluded with holiday cookies, punch, much gaiety, and warm fellowship. No further business appearing, the Grand Lodge was closed in Ample Form on the First Degreeo W, Nolan Artz Grand Master ATTEST: Albert O. Arnold, Jr. Grand Secretary

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON REPORTS OP GRAND OFFICERS R:.W:. Ronald E. White, Member, made the following report, which on his motion, was adop ted: To The M:.W:. Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: It has been a pleasure for the Committee to serve the Craft for the past year and to observe the leadership of elective Grand Lodge Officers and we feel the Craft will have good leadership for years to come. This report is not as complete as we would want, but not all reports were in at the time this report was written. We have studied the reports in their entirety and recommend the following for your approval. The Grand Masters Address, with the following exceptions of the ruling which was made on March 14, 1979, which we feel should have had more consideration and brought before the Council of Administration and the Craft for their approval. The following parts of the Grand Masters Address are recommended for approval: The report of the Council of Administration, Grand Lodge Officers, Appointive Officers, D.D.G.M. and A.C., Past Grand Masters, Grand Lodge Staff, Belle Plaine Lodge No. 173, other Grand Jurisdictions, Appendant and Concordant Bodies, Special Recognition Committees, Masonic Home, and Public Schools. We feel more emphasis should be made towards our youth groups as this is where the future of Masonry lays. The Grand Masters Rulings are referred to the Jurisprudence Committee. The E. Hubert Mitchell Lodge U/D (now defunct) to Chartered Lodges and Lodges U/D. The Masonic Education referred to the Masonic Education Committee. Recommend approval of the Grand Secretary's Report and to R:.W:. Brother Al and his dedicated staff who are willing to give you their valuable help and expertise at all times, we want to say from the Craft, "a job well done". The Committee recognizes the great savings the Council of Administration and che Grand Secretary have shown in their reports and handling of the Crafts money and investments. We recommend the Expenses and Expenditures be referred to the Committee on Finance. The Grand Masters report recognized H:.W:. Ben W. Graybill as Editor Emerits of the Kansas Mason newspaper, and the Committee would also like to commend M:.W:. Bill Mcintosh, the current Editor for carrying on in a manner that makes our newspaper one of the roost leading Masonic publications in the United States. The Committee did not get to read the Grand Treasurers Report as it was still being Audited, but we refer it to the Committee on Finance. Fraternally submitted, John E- Masters Josiah C. Lowe

REPORT OF NECROLOGY COMMITTEE M:.W;. Richard D. Kelsey, Chairman, made the following report, which on his motion, was adopted: To The M:.W;. Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: Most Worshipful Grand Master and Brethren, your Necrology Committee submits the following report for your consideration and approval. "From our chains some links have fallen In our land their stars have set. But enshrined on memories tablet. Their true worth we'll ne'er forget" Since chain. each of picture

our last Annual Communication, 1951 of our brothers have fallen from the fraternal They came from all walks of life, and none of us knew them all personally, yet us, from the circle of our Masonic acquaintance may visualize a fairly accurate of their lives.

Some were students of Masonry, who brought us much knowledge from the past. Others were ritualist, their ambition to preserve our beautiful message in tact. There were those who were plodders, unspectacular in their work, but constant in their attendance and support. Their strength and courage kept their Lodges moving on. There were three members, past or present, of the Grand Lodge family who have departed this life since our last communication. Each in their own way made a contribution to Kansas Freemasonry as did each of the 1951 brothers who's passing we acknowledge at this hour. Most Worshipful James A. Cassler, Senior Past Grand Master and 98 years young passed away on March 12, 1980- M:.W:. Bro. Cassler served as Grand Master Feb 23, 1934 to Feb 21, 1935, and presided over the 79th Annual Communication of this Grand Lodge. He was raised in Canton Lodge No. 197 in August of 1903 and transferred his membership to McPherson Lodge No. 172 in 1913- He served as Master in 1918 and began his service to the Grand Lodge in 1920- He served as DDGM from 1920 to 1926. He was appointed Grand Senior Deacon in 1930; elected as Grand Junior Warden in 1931; elected as Grand Senior Warden in 1932; Deputy Grand Master in 1933 and as Grand Master in 1934. During his term the 50 year emblem was adopted as a permanent policy by the Grand Lodge. In his address to the Craft in 1935 he inserted a bit on Necrology in which he said "Life is a struggle against its inevitable end. Come when it may, death brings a sorrow which only the living must endure. Wise, then is he who, during his life builds a character which the grave cannot enclose, whose goodly qualities and manly acts reflect a correct and proper deportment, whose virtues are cherished with fond reflections, whose life is found worthy of imitation. No worthier bequest can the living receive; no greater legacy can the dying bestow". No more fitting words can be written about Most Worshipful James Cassler than these that he had written 45 years ago. Typical of the brothers that we honor at this hour, was Worshipful Chester T. Kelsey. Chet was serving the Grand Lodge this year as the Committee on Fraternal Relations. He was raised in Topeka Lodge 17 in 1946, transferred his membership to Lake Lodge No. 50 in 1961, and served that Lodge as Worshipful Master in 1964 and 1971. He became a plural member of his home Lodge, Topeka No. 17, in 1979His service to Grand Lodge includes that of DDGM of District 20 in 1973; Area Coordinator of Area IV in 1974; and as Grand Tyler in 1975. He was appointed as Grand Representative to Mexico (Baja California) in 1974 and was serving in that capacity at the time of his death. His record of service includes' many hours, of work in the Scottish Rite, Valley of Topeka, for which he was awarded the 32Â° K . C . C . H . He had a real love for

He was also a

Perhaps Chets greatest efforts on behalf of this Grand Lodge went unnoticed by most of his brethren. Every year that our Annual Communication was held in Topeka, he was the one to see that everything was in place and all arrangements made for a smooth communication. In the words of R:.W:. Albert 0. Arnold, Jr., Grand Secretary, "to recognize the many duties he performed would take volumes. He seemed to be everywhere and was always ready to tackle the most difficult problems." Chet had a great desire to bring the various Masonic bodies into closer cooperation. His efforts in this area brought his appointment as the Fraternal Relations Committee this year. M:.W:. W. Nolan Artz, Grand Master noted that Chet and this Committee were made for each other. This turned out to be his final service to the Grand Lodge. Perhaps Chets greatest honor from Freemasonry came after his death. M:.W:. W. Nolan Artz, had selected him to receive the Distinguished Service Award prior to his passing and it was presented at the All Masonic Banquet, by the Grand Master. The award was accepted by Chets widow, Mrs. Gayle Kelsey. Another of the very loyal and dedicated Masons to sever his earthly ties was R:.W:. Woodrow W. Coleman, Secretary of Albert Pike Lodge 303 in Wichita and Area Coordinator of Area VII. Brother "Woody" as he was affectionately known by his brothers, was serving as a member of the Ritualistic Committee at the time of his death. His record of service has been one of dedication, not only to his Lodge, but to all Masonry. He has served the Grand Lodge as an appointive Grand Officer, as Area Coordinator, as Committeeman and as Grand Representative of Peru. He also found time to share his talents with his brethren of the Scottish Rite and had been honored by receiving the 33Â°. One could easily say that "Woody" was a full time Mason. His job was Masonry, serving as Secretary of the largest Lodge in the world. When he was not working at his vocation, he was improving himself in Masonry, that he might help others to improve in ritual or in education and most especially in brotherly love. Perhaps his arduaous zeal for the fraternity may have been contributed to his untimely death. "Woody" was never one to go half way. He truly gave his life to Freemasonry. Because of their records of service to the Grand Lodge, these three Brethrens masonic records have been lifted up in this report. Yet the same dedication and servicp could be typical of any of the 1951 brothers whose loss we recognize at this hour. It IK not the purpose of this committee to create a memorial service for our departed brothers. We much prefer that this be a service of dedication by those ot us in attendance here and by all the Masons of Kansas- A dedication of our lives to the unfinished tasks of our departed brethren. In the words of Abraham^ Lincoln "it is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which our departed have so nobly advanced". "I walked today along the twilight path of yesteryear and felt again the presence of a friend. I looked upon the world with sorrowing eyes And touched the veil of all eternity again For you were there" The days we shared together have gone byLeaving in their going, the golden touch of friendships richest store. Old paths which T walked with you Now memory trails which bring a strange new view

Don Hines My brothers, I would ask that you stand with bowed heads and give your attention to M:.W:.

One year from now we will gather, but some of our faces will be seen only through memory's eye. Life is uncertain and little we know, which one of us will be next to go; But we're drawn closer together with each new mound That is made in that spot on the edge of town. May we all have an abiding and unfaltering trust in the wisdom of the Supreme architect of the universe that we may be ready on that day; When earths last picture is painted and the tubes are twisted and dried And the oldest colors have faded and the youngest critic has died We shall rest, and faith we shall need it, lie down for an eon or two, Till the master of all good workman shall set us to work anew." â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Kipling Fraternally Submitted, Carroll C.

REPORT OF THE KAMSAS MASONIC FOUNDATICN, INC. W:. William E. Bogue, Executive Director, made the following report, which on his motion, was adopted: To The M:.W;. Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: Your Foundation made significant strides forward in several areas this year. One of the most visable was the moving of the .Masonic Oncology Center from its modest beginning in Sudler Hall to the spacious new suite of rooms in the new Bell Memorial Hospital which was dedicated on Friday May 18,1979. M:.W;. Richard D. Kelsey and I had the privilege of attending this auspicious occasion and It was very gratifying to hear the many fine comments on what Kansas Masonry was making possible through the Masonic Oncology Center. We are deeply grateful to all those Masons who have supported this program since it started in 1974. Several Lodges have seen fit to take special projects to equip our new Center and we take this opportunity to thank the Officers and Members of such Lodges as Seabrook #385, Emporia #12, Topeka #17 and most recently Orient Lodge #51 of Topeka who has just made possible a second large bank of X-ray film illuminators for the conference room. In addition to the individuals and lodges supporting the Oncology Center we have received a second sizeable gift this year from the Dane G. Hansen Foundation of Logan, Kansas. Brother Dane was an outstanding Mason in Western Kansas and we are both proud and grateful for the support we have received. Hoislngton Lodge #331 continues to serve the youth of their area by presenting Scholarship Grants from the Rowe .Memorial Scholarship Fund handled by the Foundation for them. First semester disbursements of $100.00 each were presented to Miss Theresia M. Steiner and Mr. Kent Dermel by W:. Brother Wayne Banks, Master of the Lodge. Through this program Hoisington Lodge #331 is making its presence known in the community. The Foundation was called upon to assist Mountain Slope Lodge #186 in the handling of a Trust. Vincent Espy Larrick had left a sizeable sum to the Lodge through a Trust to benefit crippled children of Decatur County. Thinking they were doing right, the Lodge assumed this responsibility only to find I.R.S. did not agree. The Foundation is now in possession of the funds and the Lodge will participate in the disbursement of the funds as the need arises. If your Lodge is named in a Trust or Will be sure that your actions are within I.R.S. regulations. Here is a role your Foundation can assist in. Do not hesitate to call or write as to how the Foundation can assist. It may save anxious moments down the road as well as the donors dollars. Your Foundation stands ready to assist Lodges. Masons and non-Masons alike in the handling and disbursement of funds for any worthwhile project that does not conflict with its chartered purposes. A member of the Foundation staff will be glad to meet with your Lodge to assist in the formation of your programs. Student Loans made to date number 28. The amount of money disbursed thus far is $43,389.00 with an additional $9,000.00 earmarked for additional loans to the present students. This totals to S52.389.00 and we are pleased to announce that 13 loans have been paid back in full and $24,483.75 remain outstanding and are being repaid as agreed. This speaks highly of the youth we have and are assisting. Memorials continue to grow both in size and number. More Lodges are using this means of memorializing their departed brothers. Gifts are added to the permanent fund of the Foundation and only the earnings therefrom are used to support the programs of the Foundation. Each memorial is acknowledged to the next of kin and inscribed in the permanent records in the office of the Foundation. Still another way the Foundation can assist your Lodge.

Due to the new 4 x 4 program of the Kansas Masonic Home, the Annual Fall Fund Raising Program has been for the Foundation only. As of the writing of this advanced report the results of your giving is up 17% above the total received last year. A complete financial report of the fund raising program as well as the Foundation as a whole will be prepared at the end of the Foundation fiscal year, March 31st, and appear as an addendum to this report. These reports will be audited by a C.P.A. firm as they were last year. I wish to personally thank each Trustee for the interest they show in the Foundation. Also to the Directors who have given of their time and talents at our quarterly Directors Meetings we owe much gratitude for they are the guiding force behind the Foundation. Each Directors Meeting has been attended by your Grand Master or Deputy Grand Master or both. This has given the Grand Lodge Officers a better understanding of the working of the Foundation, so that they can help disseminate information to the Masons of Kansas . Fraternally submitted, William E. Bogue, Executive Director GRAND mCGE PUBLICATIONS W:. Oscar D. Smith, coniTdtteeraan made the following report v4iich on his motion was adopted. To The M: -W:. Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: This is my second report to the Grand Lodge of Kansas as Chairman of the Publications Committee, and with those responsibilities as Editor of the Kansas Mason. First of all, if you will pardon a personal note- When asked two years ago by Chester L. Gilbert to edit the Kansas Mason, a long thwarted ambition was stirred to edit a newspaper. I look forward to every issue as a challenge and fullfillment of a personal ambition. In my report to this body last year, I emphasised the importance of the Kansas Mason as a tool to educate the Craft about Masonry in Kansas and to disseminate information to them. Then, I hope in some small way it might be interesting as well. Again, I urge all of Kansas. It pleases me I encourage all of you ate brothers send me.

you to send in articles that you deem of interest to Masonry in to report some of you are most regular in newsy contributions. to do the same- I try to publish everything that you considerI hope you are pleased with the outcome.

On an economic note, our budget for the Kansas Mason for the term just ended was $28,750.00. We will come fairly close to that figure by the time all accounts are settled. The budget for the new term has been increased to $31,500.00. This greater amount accounts for raises in costs that we experience almost every-workaday. I have hoped our newsprint could have been of a higher grade, but that is just too costly to remain within our budgetary limitations. Finally, I want to thank Most Worshipful W. Nolan Artz for his appointment and the trust he imposed in me. I have enjoyed working with him and the Council of Administration. Also, I must pay homage to the other member of this committee, Oscar D. Smith. He is always ready to go where needed to to cast his eagle eye to each edition for errors that crop in and improvements that can be made. Fraternally Submitted,

Repairs and ReplacemeJits We- h^d much, plumbing and roofing repair during th.e last year„ Much more needs to be dan.e„ Th_e East front was painted and sealed by the Burke Waterproofing Company~o The Home grounds underwent major surgery and some landscaping was doneo Because of a Kansas Department of Health and Education survey we had to paint some areas of the Health Care Centero A new refrigerator was purchased for the Health Care Kitchen and new pots and pans were purchased for both kitchens. A new station wagon was purchased to replace the old Cadillac that had served the Home for many years. A new Ford tractor was purchased and is a fine addition to our present maintenance equipment. Health Care Center We received our license as usual for operation, in December. We had some very successful surveySc Mrs, Wilson and her staff are doing a fine job and this is complimented by the ever increasing interest of our medical director. Dr. James M. Donnelly The Major reorganization In the Health Care Center involved an administrative change to the team nursing concept from the old conventional system^ This allows for better defined work tasks, lines of authority and a better system for monitering quality of care. It is working well„ Mrs. Edith Payne was hired as our Food Service Supervisor in September. We have not eliminated all problems but she has done a fine job and I expect better results as time moves on. By-Laws, Rules and Regulations The Kansas Masonic Home Board approved new By-Law changes which resulted in designations of set types of accounts: Over $25,000 in assets, under $25 ,000 in assetSo Purchasing Department A purchasing department was developed to control and consolidate buying at the Horne^ All regular purchases except food must be approved and ordered by purchasing^ Any item out of the ordinary and over $50.00 must be approved by the Administrator = Wage and Benefit Plan During the year a new wage schedule and benefit plan was put into action. The minimum wage starting January, 1980 rose to $3„10o Our new wage schedule kept our employees above this level„ Each job description has its own written scale= Because of the tight labor market, competition, shortage of nurse and diet personnel and our problems with the Department of Labor, our scale is designed to "Keep up with the Competition", and to provide a realistic incentive for good personnel. Along with this, our benefit plan and employee policies were updated again to comply with Federal Labor regulationsD I feel this has helped stem the turnover rate and let us hire more competent help. New uniforms for Nursing, Dietary and Housekeeping have professionalized our lookc A lot of emphasis on professionalism and a smart, clean look has been s tressed. Nurse Aide Training One of our nurses, Suzanne Earnest has begun a State Certified Nurse Aide training course» About 15 employees to date have been instructed and received the-lr license through our program^ In" the fall and summer of 1980 we will be an off—campus training center for Kansas Newman College and the

She has done a fine job in a short time, A medication and health screening program has been instituted. This program had had an important effect on controlling our residents' health problems with the ultimate effect of keeping them healthier and out of the Health Care Center . In most cases the residents have accepted this and its benefits keep them much, much healthier. Safety Committee A Safety Committee was developed in 1978-1979. Our Maintenance Supervisor, Mr. Howard Erhard, is the chairman and it is composed of all levels of employeeSo The committee has the job of surveying the Home periodically and recommending safety measures to be taken in all areas, O.E.S. Projects The Worthy Grand Matron, Jeanne Beck, selected as her project the remodelling of a room on the West side for visitors. We thank her for this and the many kind things she has done for the Home. Housekeeping The Housekeeping Department was reorganized under the skillfull leadership of Madge Stearman, She now heads up the department on both the Health Care Center and the West Side, Previously the West Side housekeeping was under the supervision of the Adult Supervisor, The Maintenance Departmenu took over the responsibilities of the Janitors on the West Side. Development Report In the fall of 1979, W:= James O. Foster, Past Master of Albert Pi'e Ld. #303, A,F. & A.M. was hired as Director of Development. Along with this. Brother Wilbur Love was promoted to Public Relations Director. These two men are working hard and I feel they are a fine addition to our staff. Civil Rights We continue to be under the watchful eye of the Kansas City Regional Office for Civil Rights, As you know they have extended our probation period one more year= We are working hard to comply with their wishes. Mrs, Phyllis Gray, who became our Admissions Secretary many months ago is doing an excellent job and is keeping our compliance records in order.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT OF THE KANSAS MASONIC HOME, INC W:. James O. Foster, Special Deputy to the Grand Master for Development of Funds for the Kansas Masonic Home gave a brief verbal report concerning the progress of the 4 X 4 Program introduced by the Masonic Home to develop funds for the new Health Care Center. He stressed the importance to keep our contributions coming into the Home to finance the Health Care Center being built at a cost of Four Million Dollars. He summed up his presentation with the following: "Four Million dollars. A long way to go. But like the long journey in the old oriental proverb, it begins with the first four dollars. Every Kansan has a stake in the Kansas Masonic Home of Wichita. At the very least we have a S4 stake, as surely as we hold residence in this state. It would take a million of us to reach the goal, at 34 each. And there are not a million brothers and sisters in Kansas Masonic orders. There ARE enough of us to do the job at S40 apiece, each and everyone- But some of us are ourselves into the retirement years. And sadly, some of us will lay this need aside for "someone else" to do. What we need is:

and

$4 from half of us S40 from one-fourth os us S400 from one per cent of us :?4000 from 125 of us S40,OOO from only 12 of us

Those of us whose fortunes have been blest in this Kansas land can invest S400 to $40,000 repaying our debt of gratitude. To donate a whole room - $40,000 and up - will memorialize our dedication to the principals of Masonry." On his motion, and second from the Craft, his brief report was approved and adopted.

COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN RELATIONS R:.W:. David L. Recob, member of the Coiranittee, made the following report for the Chairman, which on his motion was adopted: To The M:.W;. Grand Lodge of A.F. e, A.M. of Kansas: This Committee expresses it's appreciation to our Grand Master for our appointment and for his confidence in us. We wish to thank the Office of the Grand Lodge for the service rendered this committee in correspondence; in checking references and'facts; as well as personal attention to the multiple demands that have occurred this year in the area of Foreign Relations. R:.W:. Albert 0. Arnold, Jr., and R:.W:. David L. Recob, (a member of this committee) along with Brother Baird C. Strain, have been of great assistance in translating documents and sharing correspondence. Your Chairman has handled 141 pieces of correspondence this year in the area of this committee responsibility. Most of this had to do with the situation with the Grand Lodge of Belgium, to which we will allude later in this report. This year found the usual requests for aid and the Grand Master, as these do not come under the have consistently refused to release any list of requesting the same in order to solicit funds or

assistance which we referred back to jurisdiction of this committee. We our Lodges to these foreign Lodges ask for aid.

Although the Arab countries, in general, have banned Freemasonry; having termed it a "Zionist controlled" organization, yet we are pleased to have good communication with the Grand Lodge of Turkey. Iran, with which we did have good communication, is, of course, dark, and we hope our brethren there have not suffered unduly because of their Masonic affiliation. The Grand Lodges of Brazil are still quarreling amoung themselves and we have finally not responded to the multiplicity of documents received from them; mostly poorly printed and often related to their internal fighting. We rejoiced in the celebration of 100 years of Freemasonry in Saskatchewan, Canada, and exchanged Fraternal Greetings with them on your behalf. We are still receiving two sets of communications from the Grand Lodge of Cuba. One set is mailed from Cuba and the other from within the mainland U.S.A. This area of conflict will require time to heal. It may be possible that Masonry is being revived in Spain. It has been dormant since Franco Dictorship. We are not in Fraternal Relations with the Grand Lodge of Spain, and we will watch this situation as it develops. We appreciate the Grand Representative system and have had reports of our Grand Representatives and their correspondence. The use of the Grand Office of the Grand Secretary in this communication is to be desired and it expidites the correspondence and may save the embarassment of communicating with the "wrong" Grand Lodge. Following the Edict issued by our Grand Master right after he assumed office, this Committee, through the office of the Grand Secretary, received information that several of our sister jurisdictions were conteirplating taking "action" to withdraw recognition of the Grand Lodge of Kansas. My reply said, in part: "I have found it to be a good stance to be quiet, listening, supportive, and discerning (to the best of my ability) of both our own Grand Lodge Officers, as well as those of other jurisdictions. This accounts for my reluctant to move rapidly in areas of recommending either recognition or withdrawal of recognition, in spite of pressures applied." I am glad to report that no such precipitous action was taken and that hostility moved towards understanding, if not agreement. Our Masonic publications have carried several articles about pur sister jurisdiction of Wisconsin and their study of Fraternal Relations with Prince Hall Masonry. This has brought about, in several Grand Lodges, a Committee study of the whole area of "recognition and regularity". The heart of our Masonic System (internationally) is based in a great part upon our system of "Regular Masonry" and our "Recognition" of each other.

The major item of business this year is our recommendation that we withdraw recognition from the Grand Lodge of Belgium. On May 4, 1979, we received word from the Coniraission on Information for Recognition of the Conference of Grand Masters of Masons in Worth America that the newly elected Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Belgium had announced: "that a belief in God was not a condition of membership in the Grand Lodge of Belgium and certainly would not be a requirement by him." As a result of that fact, we recommend withdrawal of recognition of the Grand Lodge of Belgium and the withdrawal of Grand Representatives. We are joined by at least twenty-six other Grand Jurisdictions in this action. are: ALABAMA IDAHO NEW JERSEY ARIZONA JAPAN NEW YORK ARKANSAS LOUISIANA OKLAHOMA COLORADO MICHIGAN OREGON UNITED GRAND LODGE OF ENGLAND FINLAND MISSISSIPPI PENNSYLVANIA FLORIDA NEVADA RHODE ISLAND SOUTH DAKOTA VERMONT VIRGINIA WEST VIRGINIA WISCONSIN SASKATCHEAN SOUTH AUSTRALIA

There will undoubtedly be more to add to this list before the end of the year. The situation will be carefully monitored by your committee. There are already indications of changes in Freemasonry in Belgium. We have been advised that nine of the thirty-eight constituent Lodges in Belgium have withdrawn to form "The Grand Lodge Regular of Belgium" . We have also received a letter from the Grand Lodge of Belgium that it is about to make a complete turn and reinstate Belief in God as a basic requirement. This is an internal matter which we feel will be worked out in time. Our above recommended action is to withdrawal is to convey to the Grand Lodge of Belgium our support of those within who wish to keep, as a requirement for membership, the Belief in a Supreme Being, as well as supportive of other Grand Jurisdictions within whom we are in Fraternal Relations and who have or are withdrawing recognition from the Grand Lodge of Belgium. It has been a pleasure to serve this Grand Lodge. Fraternally submitted, David L. Recob Gerald L. Anderson Elvin S. Cox Forrest D, Haggard, PGM, Chairman

MOTION TO SUSPEND RELATIONS R:.W:. David L. Recob, made a motion, which was seconded by W:. Gerald L. Anderson, to suspend fraternal relations with the Grand Lodge of Belgium and to withdraw the exchange of Grand Representatives, effective March 14, 1980. Motion approved and was adopted.

OPERATION "KAN"' W: - Glenn L. Knapp, Chairman, made the following report, \^ich on his motion was adopted: To The M:.W:. Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: Many individuals have been helped by our program of rendering aid and assistance to the newly made amputee and .their, family. Several Brothers informed us about calls they have made. Last Labor Day week-end, W:. Conrad F. Johnson and the Chairman called on a Man and Wife south of Rock Springs Ranch, who had lost a hand in a hay baler the week before. We must give recognition to Evelyn Gugler, the lady in charge of food service at Rock Springs Ranch, as it was she who arranged for this call to be made. Our booklets are being used at K.U. medical center at the Doctors discretion. Remember that though life is short, the word well spoken, the deed fitly done, even by the feeblest or humblest, cannot help but have their effects. Fraternally submitted,

KIASONIC EDUCATION W:.Claude Norris, Chairman, made the following report, which on his motion was adopted: To The M:.W:. Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: The first activity of this committee was to meet with the Council of Administration at the Grand Lodge building to formulate plans for the coming year. While these plans were basic to the year 1979, Deputy Grand Master F. Warren Starns insisted they be compatible with the ideas of Grand Senior Warden Ben B. Boyles, Grand Junior Warden Robert G. Jackson and Grand Senior Deacon Richard A. Porter so that the program decided upon might have continuity. The committee was then charged with implementing the program. Numerous recommendations have been made to the Council of Administration during subsequent meetings with them, and many have been adopted; others are being considered. A meeting was held in Salina, Kansas with the Council of Administration, Area Coordinators and this committee present to discuss the duties of the Area Coordinators and how they could assist the Council to administer to the Craft more efficiently. Communication between the Grand Lodge and the local Lodge was stressed as being most important. From this meeting evolved the concept of the Area Coordinator being more active in Masonic work rather than being a ceremonial figure and to take a responsibile position in his area. Four Wardens Meetings were held in August and September with Salina, Lawrence, Chanute, and Dodge City being our hosts. Duties and areas of concern to the incoming Masters and Wardens were presented at each location with results most gratifying to the committee. Critique sheets were utilized to evaluate the meetings by those attending and the Craft by their positive response have influenced the plans for the future meetings in several important areas of instruction and the methods involved in presentation of material. The indoctrination meeting for Area Coordinators and DDGM's was held in February 1980 at which time the program for the DDGM's was under the diretrtion of W:. Brother John Heckert, a member of this committee. Area Coordinators met with the Council of Administration for instruction in their duties and to become acquainted with the Council's programs. Particular stress was placed on the importance of the Brothers discharging their duties as representatives of the Grand Lodge to the Craft. This committee has made available at meetings with the Craft numerous publications available through Grand Lodge and will continue to do so. A wealth of educational material is gathering dust on the shelves when it can be in the hands of the Craft at a very reasonable cost. Films, cassettes and printed material are all available to further the spread of masonic light and knowledge. This committee at it's meetings with the Craft has also utilized a most valuable source of knowledge--Our Past Grand Masters--and to them we are most greatful. Their zealous pursuit of the basic Masonic virtues and willingness to impart them by example have served to encourage this committee in its endeavors. Our appreciation also extends to the Craft for their acceptance of our programs and patience with our errors. Most important to us, has been the guiding hand of the Grand Master and his Council of Administration, their confidence in our abilities and the freedom of decisions which we have enjoyed. We are confident that this year has produced a foundation on which can be built a program which is responsive to the Craft, an aid to the Grand Lodge officers, and most importantly will stimulate the growth of Masonry in this Grand Jurisdiction.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS W:. John A. Schowalter, Chairman, made the following report, which on his motion was adopted: To The M:.W:. Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: The committee on Public Schools is authorized and its responsibilities are described in Section 2-124C of the Grand Lodge By-laws. This By-law charges the committee to develop programs to support and stremgthen the free public school system. Since its inception, this committee has developed a two-fold program of support for the public schools; namely, a statewide Scholarship Essay Contest for Seniors in the public high schools of Kansas, and the promotion of American Heritage--Public Schools Month. It has been the goal of this years committee to continue and improve upon this two-fold program. Essay Contest The topic for this years Essay Contest was, "Educationâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;How Much Is Enough." This topic produced some outstanding essays from our high school seniors and also produced a record number of entries in the state contest (111 Girls and 53 Boys). In August, contest information and promotional material was sent to the Masters and Public Schools committees of all Lodges. The District Deputies were asked to assist their Lodges in promotion the Essay Contest. Also, a news release was sent to the local news media across the State. This year, the Grand Master and Council of Administration authorized an increase in the amounts of the scholarship awards which gave the Essay Contest a big boost. The scholarship awards for this years contest were: $1,000 for first place; $700.00 for Second; $400.00 for Third; and $150.00 for Fourth place to each Boy and Girl winner. There were also three Honorable Mentions in each category that carried no monetary award. The recipients of the 1979-1980 Essay Contest Awards are: Girls Brenda Bean Mt.

Proceedings of the

The committee was again fortunate this year to obtain the assistance of Brothers Floyd S. Ecord, Past Grand Master of Burlington, Royal B. Brown of Leavenworth, and Conrad F. Johnson of Sabetha, who served as Contest Judges. American Heritageâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Public Schools Month On January 22, 1980, the Honorable John Carlin, Governor of Kansas, signed a proclamination declaring the month of February as American Heritage--Public Schools Month. The Worshipful Masters of all Lodges were requested to hold special programs during February in celebration of American Heritage--Public Schools Month. A news release was also issued. Recommendations We recommend that the Grand Lodge continue its sponsorship and increase its support and promotion of the Essay Contest and AMerican Heritageâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Public Schools I'-lonth through this committee. As the number of participants in the Essay Contest is continuing to increase, we recommend that a fifth place be added to the scholarship awards.

Conclusion We wish to thank our Grand Master, M:.W:. W. Nolan Artz for giving us this opportunity to serve the Craft, and for his continued support and wise council. To the Council of Administration, our thanks for a much needed increase in the scholarship awards. To Brothers Albert O. Arnold, Jr., Grand Secretary and David L. Recob, Assistant Grand Secretary, and their Staff, our thanks for their assistance throughout the year. Our thanks also go to M:.W:. William F. Mcintosh for his support through the pages of the "Kansas Mason". Last, but certainly not least, we want to thank our Essay Contest Judges for their valuable service. Finally, Brethren, participation in the Essay Contest is increasing. Each year more and more Lodges across the state are making this one of their regular fall Lodge programs. We at the Grand Lodge would love to take credit for this increased participation, but we cannot. The credit belongs to you, the local Public Schools Committees. Masters, local contest judges, and all the brethren who have worked in behalf of this program. Your efforts have brought the Essay Contest to the level of success that it enjoys today. Lets give these brethren a hand for a job well done. Fraternally submitted,

CHURai-LOXE RELATION W:.Conrad F. Johnson, Chairman, made the following report, which on his motion, was adopted; Your Church-Lodge Relations Committee is pleased to report that we served as a committee entirely by correspondence. By an unanimous vote we present the following. We surveyed many Masons about developing a different funeral service and received an overwhelming negative vote. Each Lodge has their own presentation, adding or deleating words which they prefer rather than those listed in the Monitor. This is

especially true of those who give the funeral service. We therefore dropped this area and turned our attention to developing procedures to follow during the Masonic funeral service. Although the Monitor gives some rules we present the following for clarification: When a member of the Masonic Lodge is summoned to the Grand Lodge above, it is the duty of the Local Masonic Lodge to assist the family of the departed Brother. The following guidelines are to assist the local Lodges on such occasion: 1. The Master of the Lodge, or his designate, having received notice of the death of a Brother, should call on the family immediately, extending the sympathy of the brethren and the comforting assurance of our faith. He should extend whatever assistance is needed at such time. 2. If the departed Brother was a Master Mason with a valid dues card, the Master should inquire if there is a request for burial with Masonic Ceremonies. No other requirements are needed. 3. Explain to the family that a Masonic Service may be given in the Church, Chapel, or Home as well as at the open grave. (The practice of giving the service at the Church or Chapel is becoming more prevelant. It is convenient, more people are present, one is out of the weather, and it is easier to hear what is said). 4. A Masonic service may also be given the night before the funeral. In either case, if the regular grave service is given, a slight change in the wording is advisable to give the service the proper setting. 5. When a Masonic service is requested, the mortician should be notified. He can place the lambskin upon the body in the casket. If the departed Brothers lambskin cannot be found, any clean Masonic apron can be used. Masonic pins, emblems, etc., can also be placed on the departeds clothing. 6. The Brother giving the Masonic service should meet with the minister and develop the procedures of the service to the mutual satisfaction of each. 7. If the Masonic service is given at the Church or Chapel it is generally conducted immediately after the regular service. In no way should the Masonic service infringe on the religious service by repeating prayers or requoting scriptures. Every opportunity should be afforded the minister to participate in the prayers and the benediction. 8. At the funeral, the minister and pall bearers, if Masons, are in order if they wear Masonic aprons. These should be worn on the outside of the coat. 9. Masons attending the service should also wear white aprons on the outside of their coat. The Local Lodge should furnish aprons for the brethren. The brethren are usually seated together as a body. Wives may also be seated with their husbands. Masons are often seated just before the service begins. Those participating in the Masonic service with parts should be seated in the forward pews. Lodge officers may be seated as to rank. 10. After the service is concluded the Lodge brethren are dismissed early. They leave the building and form two parallel open rank lines from the door to the hearse, if there are sufficient brethren to make this impressive. 11. After the casket is placed in the hearse the Brethren depart immediately to the cemetery. On arrival, they again form two parallel, open rank lines from the hearse to the grave. The Brother performing the Masonic burial service should stand at the right hand side of the hearse. Others assisting should stand on the left side to start the parallel lines. Other officers andHarethren line up according to Lodge procession regulations-

Proceedings of Ihe

March

12. After the minister, bearers of the casket, and the family have passed, those conducting the service follow. The parallel lines follow together by twos. When arriving at the grave the Master takes the position at the head of the grave, the Chaplain beside him if one is used instead of the minister, the bible bearer at the foot of the grave. The brethren form at the foot of the grave or at any convenient location. The family is given the seat of preference. 13. If the Masonic service is conducted at the grave, the minister may wish to read scripture, make a few remarks or offer prayer. This is recommended. offers a prayer, the Masonic prayer is omitted.

If he

14. If the minister gives a benediction the closing Masonic prayer should also be omitted. 15. Allow the minister to speak to the family first after the service. The Master should be next followed by any other. 16- These guidelines are for general use and may be reasonably modified to meet actual situations which occur. Various areas of the state have different ways of doing things. At all times remember to use discernment (good judgement) and keep love formost in all decisions. There is not a better time to show the world our sincere regard for Deity and our concern for the Masonic princiapals of moral instruction than by our words and actions at a Masonic burial service. We have been chosen as Masons because of our ability and character. Let us each continue to attend and work in the church of our choice. By so doing one will not only improve oneself by developing a well qualified life, but by .example and dedication to serve God and fellow beings, one is able to enhance Masonry. May God bless you in your endeavors to serveFraternally submitted,

TOTAL Y O U m W;. Arris M. Johnson, Chairman, made the following report, which on his motion was adopted: To The M:.W:. Grand Lodge A.F. s A.M. of Kansas: The aim and purpose of this Totdl Youth Committee has been to v/ork tc-.-ard increasing harmony and strength amoung our three youth organizations--DeMolay, Order of the Kainbcw for Girls, and Job's Daughters- We have also sought to make these organizations more visible and better understood by the Masons of Kansas through articles about each group which have appeared in the "Kansas Mason". It is our hope that Kansas Masons will continually become more aware of these young men and women and what they are doing for their communities, their friends and peers, and for their own personal growth as young men and women through their association with and activities in these organizations. It is our strong feeling and belief that these young people are, to a large degree, the future of Masonry and its affiliated organiEations. The Grand Master has presented each of these groups with a monetary contribution from Grand Lodge, a gift which has been much appreciated by these organization?. The Total Youth Committee, after visiting with representatives of these groups, recommends that, as the Grand Lodge feels it can afford to increase the amount of monetary support, it do so. This committee heartily congratulates all the leaders, officers, and sponsors of these three youth groups. These young ladies and men who have provided leadership in their local organizations and those who have risen to leadership roles in district,

We urge that every Kansas Mason become more familiar with the Youth organizations and support them by attendance at their meetings, by vocal support, and by letting them know personally how much we appreciate their work.

Cunningham MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION OF THE UNITED STATES ANNUAL REPORT 1979 TO The Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: The Masonic Service Association of the United States, working with patients at the Veterans Administration Medical Center, Topeka, Kansas, is pleased to make this report for 1979. We visited 188 Masonic brethren of whom 172 were discharged, 16 died, and 14 are still in the medical center. There were 175 from Kansas, and of these, 135 were from Topeka Masonic Lodges. The other 13 were from other States. We participated in all activities of the medical center, including two Monte Carlo nights for the open wards and two Carnivals for the closed wards- We furnished prizes and gifts for all events. H:.W:. W. Nolan Art2, Grand Master of Kansas Masons, made his official visit to the medical center on 3 August, 1979. The Square and Compass Club serves coffee and cookies to patients in Building 3, the first Saturday of each month. On 4 July, we were asked to serve a picnic lunch for the patients in Building 6. During July and August we served ice cream to all the patients in Buildings 6 and 9. On 22 September, the 21st Masonic District under the leadership of R:.W:. David L- Recob, District Deputy Grand Master, sponsored a fabulous Watermelon feed for the patients. The Shrine Clowns and Band provided entertainment which was greatly appreciated by the patients. More than 350 patients were served generous portions of Watermelon, and another 125 bed patients were served on the wards. The funds for our activities are from Grand Lodge; Topeka Lodge No. 17; Orient Lodge No. 51; Auburn Lodge No. 32; Siloam Lodge No. 225; and the Square and Compass Club. We have 15 regular volunteers and 8 part time volunteers. The names of the volunteers and hours they put in for 1979 are Harley Henry, Field Agent, 725 hours; Arthur Reynolds, Deputy Rep, 523 hours; Perry Uhl, Deputy Rep, 188 hours; Richard Irwin, Deputy Rep, 380 hours; Chris Henriksen, Volunteer, 378 hours; Jay Bayless, Volunteer, 143 hours; Isaac Baxter, Volunteer, 58 hours; Raymond Neiswender, Volunteer, 1015 hours; Arnold Nehring, Volunteer, 21 hours; Lorene Nehring, Volunteer, 18 hours; George Krionderis, Volunteer, 21 hours; and Ray McCord, Volunteer, 25 hours.

MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION ANNUAL REPORT, 1979 LEAVENWORTH, KANSAS, AREA W:. Alvin K. Banman, Field Agent for the Masonic Services Association, made the following report, which on his motion, was adopted: To The M:-W:. Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. Kansas: Many of you know about the Masonic Service Association, it's origin and functions, but from the many questions asked, there are amoung us some brethren who are not familiar with this association. To quote briefly from a leaflet: "The Masonic Service Association of the United States was formed in 1919 as a result of the need developed in World War I of a means by which American Freemasonry could function unitedly. Although the Government and the Military recognized Freemasonry's legitimate interest in helping the members of the Craft, it refused to deal with forty-nine individual agencies ***** There were other common interests and projects which had been neglected. Hence the educational, statistical, informative and other services to the Craft were provided for from the beginning." It is "OTHER SERVICES" that is our special concern in this report. The "OTHER SERVICES" we have reference to are those provided by the M.S.A. Field Agent and other Masonic Volunteers at the Leavenworth V.A. Medical Center. Brother Glenn L. Knapp is the Deputy Field Agent and visits patients in the V.A. Hospital two days a week. Brother Leo Kreutzer gives escort service two days a week. Escort service includes taking wheel chair patients for treatment and returning them to their ward, delivering materials to laboratories and perscriptions to be filled at the Pharmacy. Very important to our work is the annual visit of our Grand Master to Leavenworth V.A. Center. This visit has become traditional and I wish to report that each Grand Master has offered something special for our work. One example is that of urging your Masonic Service Field Agent to do all he can to get delinquent brother masons to become members in good standing. Two high lights of the Grand Masters visit are exchange greetings with the Center Director and Patients in the Hospital. All of this may well be summed up in a poem written by a resident of Domicilary number four. His name is Sherman C Parker - He is NOT a Mason. The title of his poem is "No Regrets": NO

Isn't it good, at the end of the day. To look up to God and be able to say, "Dear Lord, I helped someone today"! Isn't it sad, if instead, you must say, "Dear Lord, I hurt someone today"!

ALL MASONIC BANQUET

Promptly at 6:30 p.m., Friday, 14 March 1980, the All Masonic Banquet commenced with a grand processional into the dining hall of the Scottish Rite Temple by the Grand Officers and their Ladies, brought in by beautiful music from the Organ played by Brother Robert Foley, 33Â°, Grand Organist. After the Ladies had been seated , Worshipful Conrad F. Johnson , Acting as Grand Chaplain, gave the invocation. Following the opening prayer ,Âˇ the Grand Master M: . W:. W. Nolan Artz, introduced his Grand Lodge Officers, Distinguished Guests, Past Grand Masters , and all their Ladies.

A delicious dinner was then served by members of Ivy Leaf Chapter No. 75, Order of the Eastern Star under the direction of Mrs. Corrine Adams, Worthy Matron. During the Dinner Hour , several musical selections were sung by the "Scottish Rite Singers U , accompanied by Ma r y Ellen Fishback, for the enjoyment of the diners. Following the entertainment by the "Scottish Rite Singers" , Brother Charles Willey, 33 0 , of Moline Illinois, gave a most heart warming and light- hearted talk about understanding each other, love, fellowship, and learning to cope with our problems . When he had finished his talk, he received a standing ovation from the Craft and their Ladies. The Grand Master then made a few additional remarks as the diners were finishing their meal or enjoying their coffee. The Grand Master requested M:.W:. Richard D. Kelsey, Past Grand Master, 1972, to escort Mrs. Gayle Kelsey, Widow of his Uncle R:.W:. Chester T. Kelsey, who was Past Master of Lake Lodge No. 50, Silver Lake ; Grand Representative to the Grand Lodge of Mexico (Baja California:; and Chairman of the Fraternal Relations Committee , to the podium for the purpose of receiving a posthwnous award for "Chet", honoring him for his many years of service and dedication to the Craft. Upon her arrival at the podium, the Grand Master spoke of Brother Chet in glowing terms and uplifted him to the Craft for the examples he made for the good of the Craft during his active years in Freemasonry. While not one dry eye was left untouched by a tear drop, our Grand Master presented the "Distinguished Service Award for 1979" to Mrs. Kelsey . who received a thundering and standing ovation in honor of her deceased Husband. Although this was one time that Chet was not responsible for the arrangements, we are certain that if he was looking on, he would have been pleased with the results, and proud of the Silver Bowl engraved with his name. A detailed memorial to Brother Kelsey follows. Following this award, the Craft was dismissed after benediction by Brother Conrad F. Johnson.

MEMDRIAL TO OffiSTER TAYIDR KEISEY By: Albert O. Arnold, Jr. , Grand Secretary "Qiet" as he was affectionately known by his many friends was born to Melvin T. and Fannie Jenkins Kelsey on the 17th day of December, ]910, in the city of Topeka. He attended Went\Morth Military Academy and graduated from Seaman High School. He lived his entire life in the Topeka Comiiunity. His vocation was that of farmer. Ntost of us knew him because of his Masonic connections. 'Riis all begain in Topeka ' Lodge No. 17 in the year 1946. Thereafter he affiliated with Lake Lodge No. 50 in 1961. As a member of lake Lodge he served in office on seven occasions including that of Worshipful Master in 1964 and 1971. He served the Grand Lodge as District Deputy Grand Master of District No. 20 in 1973 and as Area Coordinator of Area .\o. 4 in 1974. He also served as Grand Tyler in 1975 and in the same year was appointed as Grand Representative to Mexico (Baja California). He was a member of the Scottish Rite Bodies of Tbpeka and was a Knight Ccnmander Court of Honour. A 50 year emblem â&#x20AC;˘ of DeMolay was awarded him in 1977. He also belonged to the Topeka High Twelve Club No. 17. At the time of his death he was a dual member of Topeka Lodge No. 17 and lake lodge No. 50, and a member of Elks Lodge No. 204. He received an Elks of the Year award in 1973. One of his great loves was the Crippled Children program of the Shrine. This led him into a very active life in Shrinedcm. He served for many years as Parade Marshal of Arab Shrine. In 1977 he was named Shriner of the year in Arab Temple. When needed he always could be counted on to substitute in the recorder's office. In civic life he belonged to the Shawnee County Farm EBureau, was a member of the executive board of Wentworth Military Alumni Club of northeast Kansas, a director of the Shawnee County Historical Society, a member of the Thomas Jefferson Society, the Sons of the American Revolution, Helping Hands Humane Society. Shawnee Country Club and participated in forming the Young Republicans Club in 1930. He attended the Oakland Presbyterian Church. His service to the Grand Lodge when the Annual Ccmnunication was held in Topeka covered seme three decades. Tb recount the many duties performed in this capacity would take volumes. He seemed to be everywhere at once and was always ready to tackle the most difficuly of problems. This may have been due in part to the deep sense of pride he felt when his brother the late M:.W;. Scott E. Kelsey was elected and served as Grand Master in 1956. This pride was doubled when his nephew M:.\V;. Richard D. Kelsey became Grand Master in 1972. In later years his life could best be described as ubiquitous, for on a given day he might be seen at many far points of the city. So it was that we at the Grand lodge office regularly looked forward to his visits. He could always be counted on to assist in seldom noticed but valued services. It might be to give a ride downtown, or a phone call, deliver a message, transport some item, or perform any number of anall favors. His sometime gruff answer was but a shield to cover a large and generous heart. During the passing months, we could note physical problems. Yet, friendly adnonishnents to see the doctor were passed off with little or no conplaint. It seems strange as I now look back and remember what was perhaps his last great wish. On several occasions he had said to me, "I sure hope I will not have to spend a long time in some hospital bed". For a time it seemed his last wish had been denied, but is was not so, for on the 19th day of January 1980 the scythe of time found its mark.

Chet had one other great concern in life and Masonry- He worked long and hard to bring the various appendants into closer cooperation and understanding. This led to his appointment to the chairmanship of a special comnittee this past year under the heading of niATERNAL REIATIONS. Although his effort in this area may have escaped notice by many members of the Craft, he continued to work toward this end. So it is that I can now break silence and reveal another of his acccnplishraents. Uany months ago it had been decided by the Grand Master that Chet would be named "MASCW OF TOE YEAR 1979". Tlie award was made posthumously at the Anniml Oomnunication in V/ichita on the 14th of March 1980. Like all of us he had seme faults, but his many good qualities and services far outshined all others. His love of family and friends were soon discovered when In his ccnipany. He took great pride In his daughters, grandson, nephews, and other members of the family and most assuredly his beloved wife Gayle. We share with the family in this loss and shall miss him greatly, but we do so ivithout remorse. For we choose to remember his friendly chuckle, willing hands, cheerful heart, and loyal devotion to his family, friends, and our beloved Fraternity. "Well done thou good and faithful servant, enter into the glory of the Lord."

SPECIAL OCMMITTEE R:.W;. Robert G. Jackson, Chairman, made the following report, w*iich on his motion, was adopted: To the M:.W:. Grand Lodge of A=F. s AoM. of Kansas: On Ap ril 21, 1979 the Grand Master expressed to the Council of Administration, his concerns and desires for the renovation of the Grand Lodge building at 8th S Harrison in Topeka^ These desires and concerns are as follows: 1. Remodeling and refurnishing existing offices, meeting rooms, and library= The proper display of items, by all of Masonry, in the 2. Grand Lodge Museumâ&#x20AC;&#x17E; 3 . The need for the Masons of Kansas to be more aware of the potential use of this architectural edifice, but more especially those Masons of Topeka and the surrounding area. At thi me eting which was held in the Scottish Rite conference room in Wichita, Ks the Grand Master directed the Grand Junior Warden, R:.W:. Robert Go Jac kson to form and chair a committee to study and formulate a plan for the renovation of the Grand Lodge building. The following Masons agreed to ser ve on this committee: 1. R: W:, Robert G. Jackson, Chairman - WakarusaLodge No. 402 2. R: W:o Albert Go Arnold, Jr^ - Rosedale Lodge No. 3 3 3 3o Bro John C. Dicus - Siloam Lodge No. 225 4 . W: . James Hansen - Delaware Lodge No- 96 5, Bro Donald J Horttor - Orient Lodge No, 51 6. w Claude Norris - Rising Sun Lodge Noo 8 7. W Charles Sheetz - Golden Rule Lodge No, 90 8â&#x20AC;&#x17E; W Jon Wilhite - Ridgeway Lodge No, 62 The first meeting of this committee was held on June 21, 1979, in the Grand Lodge building. After reading reports and touring the building to determine the immediate need J, the following recommendations were made to the Council of Adminis tratio \: 1o Owing to the obvio us condition of the exterior, to include the roof, the building should be inspected by professional contractors and the neces sary repairs performed before preceding with any other plans. 2. A priority plan be prepared for the repair of the building^ This plan is to in elude: (A) Space utilization; (B) Interior decoration; (C) Bu ilding repairs; (D) Public parking; (E) Cataloging of library; (F) Air conditioning of library; (G) Exterior decor and lighting (H) Landscapingo 3. All renovation be coordinated with an architect and other professional personne 1. 4. The master plan be presented to the Council of Administration for further action During the fall months, the exterior stone walls of the Grand Lodge building were cleaned, tuck-pointed, caulked and sealed. The faulty tiles of the roof were also repaired. The total cost of repairs was $10,200^ Throughout the past six months the committee has continued to formulate its plan for renovation^ This study has brought to light many interesting facts. - We have discovered the contents of our library to be of considerable value and to house many unusual volumes. Further, we are told the building is one of the outstanding Gothic architectural structures remaining in the mid-west. Finally, the committee recommends this study be continued during the coming year, allowing time for a plan of renovation to be formulated. On behalf of the members of this special committee, we thank the Grand Master, the Council of Administration, and the members of the Grand Lodge for allowing us to serve the Masons of Kansas this year. Fraternally submitted, Members of Grand Lodge Building Committee Robert G. Jackson. G.J.W.. Chairman

REPORT OF RITUALISTIC COMMITTEE M:.W:. J, Fred Williamson. Chairman, presented the following report, which on his motion was adopted. To The M: W:

Grand Lodge A.F. s A.M. of Kansas:

The Ritualistic Committee has to our attention this year as a While this committee was not in interest and the net result has

had a most interesting year. Many items have come result of the waivers issued by the Grand Master. favor of the waivers, we feel they created a lot of been possibly good.

We would like to recommend to the incoming Grand Master and Council of Administration a survey be conducted with all Kansas Lodges to ascertain the will of the Craft before any changes might be made in the ritual or traditional manner in which the degrees have been conferred. We would like the following items to be included in this survey: a.

Should the first section of each degree and the second section of the Third Degree be conferred on more than one candidate at a time?

Should anyone be made a Mason save in a regular Lodge, duly convened after petition and acceptance by a unanimous ballot and by individual conferral of degrees, except when made a Mason at Sight by the Grand Master?

Should the lectures be conferred on a different night rather than all of the degrees on one night?

Possible revision of the questions and answers on the work lectures of the first two degrees and inclusion of the Third Degree.

The Ritualistic Committee met in Salina Lodge No. 60 to develop a schedule for the district meetings and to hold a school of instruction for the lecturers. This was a most enjoyable and interesting two days. The Staff of lecturers is composed of a group of knowledgeable and dedicated Masons. These brethren are to be congratulated on their fine service to our Craft. The district meetings were all held although the weather caused a change in dates for some of the meetings. Attendance was up in almost all districts this year. Again this year many Lodges qualified for the Trice-Robison Award and includes the following: Topeka Lodge No. 17, Olathe Lodge No. 19, Delaware Lodge No. 96, Patmos Lodge No. 97, North Star Lodge No. 168, Mcpherson Lodge No. 172, Fargo Lodge No. 300, Albert Pike Lodge No. 303, Kansas Lodge No. 307, Hancock Lodge No. 311, Dwight Lodge No. 374, Wakarusa Lodge No. 402, and Overland Park Lodge No. 435We wish to thank the Grand Master for the opportunity to serve this committee.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON TRIALS AND PUNISHMENT M:.W:. John H. Murray, Chairman, made the following report, which on his motion, was adopted: To The M:.W:. Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: During the past year one charge has been received by the Committee charging a Brother with leaving his wife and living with the wife of another Master Mason who is in good standing with the Lodge. The case has been at issue for sometime and has been set for hearing several times, but it just happens that on two of the times the case has been set for trial that major snow storms occured in the area and the case was continued. The case will be handed to the next committee for action. Respectfully submitted, John H. Murray, Chairman Owen E. Hodgson Jack D. Biser Arthur A, Hartshorn Charles W.

MOTION TO CHANGE MONITOR R:,W:. Gerald A. Lough, Assistant Grand Lectur*^r, Delaware Lodge No. 96, made a motion to restore to the Monitor and Manual of Ceremonies all references to the birthplace of our Saviors nativity which was seconded by R:.W:. Charles D. Gal]ipeau, Grand Lecturer, Wyandotte Lodge No. 3. After discussion of the motion it was defeated for a lock of a 2/3 majority vote to carry the recommendation.

REPORT OF THE JURISPRUDENCE COMMITTEE M:.W:. Arthur C. Hodgson, Chairman of the Jurisprudence Committee, made the following report, which on his motion, the sections listed were acted upon as shown at the bottom of each item: To The M:.W:. Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: INTRODUCTION Service on any Grand Lodge Committee should be taken seriously and with an intent and desire to carry out the duties set forth in the Constitution and By-Laws of our Grand Lodge and such other duties as may be requested by the Grand Master. Our Committee has had a busy year. As is customary, the work of this committee in done primarily by correspondence. There have been times of communication by long distance telephone and there have been some face to face communications between members of the committee but there has been no called meeting of the committee, principally because of the time, travel and expense involved in such a meeting. This year our only meeting as a committee has been since coming to Grand LodgeGENERAL REFLECTIONS Our Grand Master has done some things which did not meet with the unanimous approval of the Craft. Further comment on this will be made later in the report but we don't believe anyone will say that our Grand Master has not tried to the utmost of his ability to lead the Craft and to stop, if possible, the decline in membership which has been the rule for too many years. Our Grand Master has worked hard, he has solicited the help of all the Masons in Kansas and future ages will give a more accurate opinion of his success or lack of success. Certainly our Grand Master has given inspiring Masonic talks wherever he has been. He has urged us to collectively live what we profess and to be actively involved in our respective communities. (Approved) REPORT OF THE SECRETARY COUNCIL OF ADMINISTRATION Our Grand Secretary has been acting as Secretary for the Council. We have read the report of the Secretary of the Council of Administration and we recommend that the report be approved and adopted. (Approved)

SPECIAL DISPENSATIONS A review of the Special Dispensations granted by our Grand Master shows them to be within the powers and perogatives of the Grand Master. We recommend they be approved(Approved)

When the Charity Fund reaches $80,000.00 all over that amount shall be transferred to the General Fund of the Grand Lodge. " (Carried) THE GRAND MASTERS LETTER OF MARCH 14, 1979 This communication to all Lodges envoked a storm of protest from many Lodges and from many Brothers. A copy of this letter is part of the proceedings and you can read it for yourself and con^are it with the powers and prerogatives of the Grand Master as set forth in the Constitution and By-Laws of our Grand Lodge. No useful purpose would be served by taking up point by point the matters contained in this letter or the objections thereto. Suffice it to say, that principally the criticism has been directed to shortning of the time from reception of the petition to the conferring of the Degrees, waiver of Proficiency and receiving the Degrees as a class rather than on an individual basis- There is no provision in our By-Laws for any investigation by any one other than by a Committee of Investigation appointed by the Master of the Lodge- Any effort to circumvent such an investigation would be entirely illegal. Our Grand Master revoked the effect of his March 14th, 1979, letter by a communication sent to the Lodges on the 10th of November 1979. In acceding to the desires of many of the Craft by revoking the previous authorizations, our Grand Master has shown his willingness to comply with the desires of many of the Craft but, here again, this action did not receive universal approval and only future ages will determine the good or ill affect of the action taken by our Grand Master. (Defeated). LETTERS OF DISPENSATION Letters of Dispensation were issued by our Grand Master to a new Lodge meeting at the Masonic Home. This led to a certain amount of friction amoung the Masons of the Lodge under dispensation and amoung the Brothers of the Lodge already chartered as Masonic Home Lodge. Our Grand Master stated that he had made an investigation and felt that the need was there and the Committee on Chartered Lodges and Lodges U/D was not called upon to perform any function as contemplated by our By-Laws. We strongly urge all Grand Masters to make maximum use of their duly appointed committees. The Letters of Dispensation were revoked by our Grand Master as of November 23rd, 1979. (Carried)

GRAND MASTERS RULINGS We have read the rulings but on some we are uncertain as to what was ruled- We consider that rulings by the Grand Master have effectiveness only in the year the ruling is made and the rulings have been acted upon by the parties involved we recommend that the rulings be approved as within the scope of the Grand Masters Powers and Perogatives. (Defeated) CONCLUSION Another Grand Lodge has drawn to a close. Our Grand Master was piped in on his year of service by the Midian Pipes and Drums. It would certainly be unfeeling and ungracious on the part of the Craft to "drum him out" of his year of service. The test of time will be the best judge of the success or lack of it enjoyed by our Grand Master. Our Grand Master may not always have been right but he has always been our Grand Master. He has worked unceasingly, he has tried different approaches on a long time problem of decling membership, and passage of time will give us the best indication of the measure of success. He is entitled to the thanks and appreciation of every member of this Grand Lodge. Respectfully submitted. Robert D. Caplinger Robert H. Arnold Addison C. Irby James L. Withers Arthur C. Hodgson, Chairman

A member of the Jurisprudence Committee asked to present a Minority Report. The request was denied by the Grand Master. Several brothers vocally expressed their extreme displeasure, but were also denied the floor. Only three of the five member committee igned the report which is therefore a majority report-

REPORT OF THE CORRESPONDENCE COMMITTEE

To the M:.W:. Grand Lodge, A„F, & A.M, of Kansas: It is an honor to have the opportunity to report for the Committee on Correspondence. We only wish it were possible to make a more optimistic summary of our findings„ We find that two thirds of the 63 Jurisdictions studied lost even more members than a year previous, an increase in losses of roughly 19%. Only four U.S. Jurisdictions showed an increase in members. North and South Carolina, Florida, and the Philippines. Total losses were 70,058; among 46 U.S. Jurisdictions, 61,715. In Kansas our increase in losses was only 16%, The encouraging news is that all Grand Jurisdictions are putting forth sustained efforts to turn the tide. Lodges are being admonished to select and train better officers, to confer degrees impressively, to make stated meetings interesting and educational and thus change just duespaying members into well-informed Masons, to take a more active part in civic affairs, to support worthwhile local charities, to hold public installation of officers, to have more family night get-togethers. And yes, to see that the Masonic Temples are among the most attractive and best kept buildings in town. Long Catechisms and Lectures Questioned And in some Jurisdictions, perhaps to the surprise of many of their members, with the approval of some, and to the consternation of others, a long look is being taken at rituals, especially the long lectures and lengthy catechism, as causing fewer petitions and as one reason so many candidates fail to advance. Perhaps we in Kansas might be pointed at as among the leading offenders in long lectures„ In the second section of one degree we laboriously recite to the candidate, step by step and in minute detail, what he has just been a part of, even to the extent of reciting again three exclamations which he had heard twice only minutes before. At least boring; at worst, a reflection on his intelligence, say some of our critics. Perhaps the time might be better spent in telling him something about the functions and functioning of the lodge he has just joined:. While our catechism isn't nearly as long as some, notably Arkansas and Texas, our Mother Grand Lodge of England thinks they are all much too long. Says an English Masonic writer about us: "The examination between degrees constitutes a complete resume of the ceremony in questions and answers, including memorization of the obligation. This would be a sufficiently difficult test even if it were supplied to the candidate in clear language. Generally we are content to pass a candidate to the second degree after answering 11 questions, and to the third after only nine." Perhaps we wouldn't be losing nearly 20% of our candidates at the end of the first degree if we patterned somewhat after our English Brethren, Candidate's Cipher Shortened Massachusetts is reprinting its Candidate's Cipher with a new minimum of required questions and answers in bold face type. Use of only the minimum requirement is left to the discretion of the Master of each lodge. Says Grand Master Arthur Melanson, "Our life styles move at a faster pace than our previous ones. Most professional men do not have the time available to commit to memory the Candidate's Cipher. These are good men and true, who ought to be members of the Craft," Perhaps a worthy Brother to the north of us. Grand Master Newton McCleary, of Manitoba, was thinking along similar lines when he said, "How

can we make progress if we don't keep more in step with the time? ..â&#x20AC;&#x17E; We don't honor our forefathers by going back to the place where they stopped, but by going on toward the things their vision foresaw. ** Mused Saskatchewan's Grand Master John Melymick, "It seems that for too long we have been hiding our light under a rug, and have built up such a barrier against telling others of our ideals that we have, in effect, denied others the privilege of hearing about Freemasonry *s great preceptsâ&#x20AC;˘" Wisconsin and the Prince Hall Lodges

Probably brought on by somewhat similar conditions, the Grand Lodge of Minnesota adopted a resolution which reads, "In accordance with the principles and ancient landmarks of Masonry, every petition for membership in a constituent lodge shall be received and acted upon without regard to race, creed, or national origin of the petitioner." Perhaps it is of passing interest to note that only 653 of the 1,091 lodges under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of Scotland are in Scotland, The rest are scattered about the globe, all the way from Barbados in the Windward Islands to New Zealand and Western Australia. Many are in South Africa, The Grand Master, on visiting one of his lodges in Nigeria and witnessing a degree, said he was surprised and delighted to discover that the candidate was a white man! Are There Barnacles on the Ship of State? Several years ago a Kansas Grand Lodge officer, viewing the numerous organizations requiring Masonry as a prerequisite to membership,- referred to them as "barnacles on the ship of state^" Perhaps he was a bit unkind. However, most will agree that if all members who devote time and energy to an appendant organization could find it in their hearts to give the Blue Lodge equal time, it would solve many of Masonry's problems. Apparently with similar thoughts in mind, both South Dakota and Utah denied the request of Aramanth to operate in their States. Said one of the Grand Masters, "The attention of Masons and their wives is already diverted into too many channels; spread too thin among too many affiliated bodies . On the other side of the coin, Nevada, after more than 100 years, got around to recognizing the Order -of the Eastern Star. We will all agree, wholeheartedly, that many of the affiliated organizations are a valuable asset to the Blue Lodge. Only One National Masonic Monument The George Washing ton National Memorial in Alexandria, Va., dedicated in 1932, is the only National Masonic Monument in the United States. It is owned and supported by the Grand Lodges of the U.S. Endowed funds yield $170,000 annually, but an additional $100/000 is required to meet operating expenses. It attracts more than 200,000 visitors annually.

while 15 U.S. presidents have been Masons, George Washington was the only occupant to serve his lodge as Master at the same time . Only two had served as Grand Masters, Andrew Jackson and Harry S. Truman. Idaho's Grand Orator, Jack E. Blacksmith, reminds those who think they don't have time to attend lodge, that George Washington found time to ride horseback from Mount Vernon down to Alexandria to do so. Scanning Activities in other Jurisdictions New Mexico, Missouri and Oregon now approve Masonic funerals for EA's and FC's, if in good standing, meaning it can't have been more than a year since they received the degree. In the District of Columbia the Grand Master now pays for his Jewel and it remains his property. Heretofore the Grand Lodge had paid for them and retained permanent possession, Louisiana has a program by which each subordinate lodge cites an outstanding young man in its community. In the first year of operation 235 were cited. Award presentations were made in churches and at school assemblies; one was made in a Catholic school. In the State of Washington most lodges hold an annual Widowâ&#x20AC;˘s Recognition night. Each newly bereaved Masonic widow is presented an especially designed widow's pin. In Florida a member has the right to protest his lodge's conferring a courtesy degree. More and more often Masons and Knights of Columbus groups are holding joint get-togethers of one kind or another, as they more fully realize that their ideals and hopes for mankind so nearly coincide. Many of the joint meetings are annual affairs. And These Things Happened, Too Maine's Trustees of the Charity Foundation held their annual meeting in the "Silent Woman's" restaurant in Waterville, In one of our western States a sojourner visited a lodge for several years before it was discovered that he wasn't eligible; his membership was in an un-recognized Grand Jurisdiction, He was advised to get a dimit and petition as a new candidate. In several States a subordinate lodge not represented at Grand Lodge draws a reprimand, and two consecutive such occurrences brings temporary suspension. But in a Canadian Grand Jurisdiction, a lodge that hadn't been represented for 11 consecutive years finally sent a delegate. One large State claimed not to know how many of its lodges were represented at the Annual Communication, Several others, if they knew, didn't publish the information. Illinois considered requiring all lodges to open on all three degrees at least 50% of the time, but thought better of it.

A recent survey of 65 Grand Jurisdictions showed that 61% restricted dual membership to within the State, while 83% placed no such restriction. Dual membership in Taiwan is sanctioned and encouraged because it encourages competent members to work in more than one lodge. The fact was brought out that while any Master Mason in good standing may ask. permission to visit another lodge, the Master also has the right to deny admission, or to ask a visitor to retire, when private and confidential matters are to be handled. The same officers will continue to serve for another year.

In the handsomely bound 44 7 page Grand Lodge annual report several pages were devoted to the history of each lodge celebrating an anniversary . A new official cipher is being printed which will contain the same material as heretofore for a candidate to learn. However, certain lines will be in bold face type. At a lodge's discretion a candidate may be declared proficient after learning only these lines. In making the decision to shorten the required catechism, the Grand Master quoted from the Grand Lodge of England's official publication: "Generally we are content to pass our candidates to the second degree after answering only 11 questions, and to the third only after 9." Our English Brother who wrote the above, had the following to say about the system followed by lodges in the United States: "The examination between degrees constitutes a complete resume

of the preceding degree in questions and answers, and they require a memorized repetition of the obligation also, This would be a difficult test even it it were supplied to the candidate in clear language," Thus our English Brethren sincerely believe that we in the United States are stifling our lodges by requiring an inordinate and unnecessary acount of memory work, They just might be right!

Waivers of jurisdiction were granted to Texas lodges five times; Texas granted two in return. Grand Master Wright issued two edicts. 1) A brother receiving his 50year award is entitled to the Grand Honors of the Grand Lodge; if received in a subordinate lodge he may receive Grand Honors, 2) Since all charges brought against a Mason within the Craft must be for unmasonic conduct and only the Lodge or Grand Lodge trial commission is permitted to try these charges, all other Masonic bodies are therefore strictly forbidden to try a Mason for unmasonic conduct or to re-try on such charges, or review the results of such trial. Edict No. 2 resulted from a 1978 Shrine by-law change at an Imperial Session which provided that a member suspended or expelled from a prerequisite body could request a retrial by the Shrine, and if found not guilty could retain his Shrine membership, even though expelled or suspended from a prerequisite body. (The Shrine graciously rescinded-the by-law.) Dispensations were granted to three lodges to hold outdoor meetings, and to one to confer a third degree in Carlsbad Caverns, By adopted resolution, "Any Mason, Entered Apprentice, Fellowcraft, or Master Mason who has not been expelled or suspended at the time of death, may receive a Masonic funeral if requested by survivors."

The 107th Annual Communication was held in Salt Lake City Jan. 29-30, 1979, with all lodges represented and with 15 of 23 Past Grand Masters in attendance, along with 15 distinguished guests from nieghboring Grand Jurisdictions, including eight Grand Masters., The death of Past Grand Master Elliott Willard Evans (1954) was reported. Funeral services were conducted by Grand Lodge officers. Among the Grand Master's Rulings: A local lodge examining committee overlooked the fact that the Grand Lodge of Syria-Lebanon isn't recognized and permitted one of its members to visit for several years before discovering its error. He was advised to get a demit and petition for the degrees as a new candidate.^ct A request by the order of Amaranth to operate in Utah was denied, on the obvious grounds (as in many jurisdictions) that the attention of Masons and their wives is already diverted into too many channels; spread too thin among too many affiliated bodieSo He urged that constituent lodges make a serious effort to appoint to office only those who have high qualities of leadership, and that an educational feature be incorporated in the program for each regular meeting. The Committee for Masonic Education lis ted among its objectives: To visit all lodges in the jurisdiction, to provide them with materials to be used in their educational programs, and to publish educational articles in the Utah Mason^ Seven Short Talk Bulletins and three research papers have been mailed to all Senior Wardens^ The Lodge of Research provided speakers for subordinate lodges on several occasions. It has 50 regular members and three associate and two honorary members. The Commi ttee on Fraternal Relations feels that to review the proceedings of other Grand Jurisdictions would be extremely cumbersome, timeconsuming, burdensome, and basically unproductive.

/ BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF M;.W:, W. NOLAN ARTZ B Y : ALBERT 0. ARNOLD, JR.

GRAND SECRETARY Grand Master of the M:.W:. Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons in Kansas March 9, 1979 through March 14, 1980. Our 110th Grand Master of the MDSt Worshipful Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of Kansas was b o m in Newton, Kansas, on Septfniber 29, 1928. In his early youth he also spent considerable tirae on a farm in the Peabody area and later in Belle Plaine. After graduating from Elementary and High School, he attended the University of Wisconsin, and received a degree from the School of Banking. He also holds a certificate of banking frcin the American Institute of Banking, and ta\^ht six years for that institution. In 1963 he married Dr. H. Irene Scimeca the only wcman practicing dentistry in the state of Kansas. Through this union was b o m one Son, Billy Artz. Mother and Son on many, many, occasions acccrpanied M: .W:. Artz on his visitations throughout the Grand Jurisdiction toth as Grand Master and during his years in the progressive line. Shortly before becoming Grand Master, M: .W:. Artz had sold his interest in the Seneca State Bank which fortunately gave him nore time to plan and travel in fullf illment of his duties as Grand Master. He did ei^age in some Real Estate transactions during the year and has listed himself as a Financial Consultant. On beginning his year as Grand Master, M:.W:. Artz announced a clarion call to bring Kansas Masonry back into the twentieth century. "Adventure ceases when normalcy begins." •niis all with the hope of tumir^ the tables on declining menbership and bring about an increase in the ranks of Kansas Masonry. Ttward this end he travelled many thousands of miles back and forth across the Grand Jurisdiction. During his year a tour was conducted of the Grand lodge of Scotland at vAvich time the Grand Master was joined by a goodly nunter of members and their ladies. Perhaps no other words can better bespeak the feeling of most maiters of the Crcift about our Grand tester's year than the words spoken by M:.W:. Arthur Hodgson, Chairman of the Jurisprudence Ccmittee: "The test of time will be the best judge of the success or lack of it enjoyed by our Grand Master. Our Grand Master may not always have been right, but he has always been our Grand Master. He has worked unceaseingly, he has tried different approaches on a long-time problem of declining mailiership, and passage of time will give us the best indication of the measure of success. He is entitled to the thanlcs and appreciation of this Grand Lodge."

Grand Lodge of Kansas

1981 ADDRESS OF THE GRAND MASTER TO THE M:.W:. GRAND LODGE OF KANSAS I welcome you to this 125th Annual Communication. One year ago I was informed that the exalted station to which the free choice of my brethren had called me, involved great responsibilities. But I was not informed that I would receive far more than I could possibly give. This year has been a most wonderful and educational experience for me. As Lois and I have traveled this great state, we have seen the beauty that is exemplified by the changes that occur each week of the year. But the most rewarding is all the great people we have had the opportunity to meet. I wish to thank you, my brethren for allowing me the honor of serving.you. CONDITION OF THE CRAFT When I took the oath of this office, 1 was motivated to the task of setting the Craft to work and giving them proper instruction. I am now more convinced than ever that this Grand Jurisdiction is so structured to be both effective and productive if everyone fulfills his obligation. It is also evident that the future of Masonry is dependent upon the cooperation and ability of everyone to work together. It is impossible for me to express my full appreciation to the Lodges that worked so hard this year to increase their membership. Many of our Lodges this year showed a net gain for the first time in several years. These Lodges all had good active programs and excellent leadership. I would like to be able to report all of our Lodges had this kind of a year, but I cannot. The reports received from the District Deputy Grand Masters reveal we still have Lodges who are having difficulty even getting enough brethren to attend a stated communication to conduct business. I regret I have to report a net loss of 14 84 members this year. We suspended 918 Masons for non-payment of dues. I strongly feel this number is going to continue to be high as long as we have Lodges consolidating with other Lodges. I have encouraged the Brethren throughout the state to live Masonry 24 hours each day. The influence we exert on our community is our contribution to the building of tomorrow's society. We would do well to use the 24-inch gauge in dividing our time. The emphasis placed on Masonic education in the past and the valuable instruction given at the Warden's Schools is evident in Lodges that have participated in these meetings. The activity and enthusiasm generated from these schools of instruction is hampered only by the lack of attendance. One cannot travel this state from border to border and not say Masonry is very much alive and a growing influence in our communities.

PAST GRAND MASTERS I shall always be indebted to the Past Grand Masters of this Most Worshipful Grand Lodge. I have sought the counsel of many of these great men during the year. Their knowledge and dedication to Masonry has made the road I traveled this year a most pleasant one. Their support and cooperation has been unlimited. RECEPTION I would like to thank my home lodge, Wallace Lodge #318 in Winona, and St. Thomas Lodge #326 of Colby for hosting a reception for me on April 12, 1980. After the reception was held in St. Thomas Lodge Hall, a banquet was served at the Colby Commvmity College. Lois and I were very honored so many friends from all over the state joined us to make this a day we will always remember. I wish to give a special thank you to W:. Steven Molstad for chairing the reception committee and to Lois' sister, Gwen and her husband. Dr. Earl Redding for providing a great evening's entertainment. FOUNDATION The Kansas Masonic Foundation is in its fifteenth year of service to mankind. Each year it continues to support the cancer program at the Kansas University Medical Center. The Executive Secretary, William E. Bogue, gave a presentation at each of the area meetings this year and revealed some of the different ways the; Foundation could be of assistance to the local lodges. The Foundation will grow only with your support. This year the Board of Trustees amended their by-laws to include both the Grand Master and Deputy Grand Master as members of the Board of Directors. KANSAS MASONIC HOME On Saturday, October 25, 1980, we had the distinct pleasure of dedicating the new 12 0-bed Health Care Center at our Kansas Masonic Home. This was the completion of a project that has received countless hours of time and devotion of several Grand Masters who have preceded me. I was in Wichita the day the residents were transferred to the New Health Care Center. Brother Jerry Lindenbaum and his staff performed this duty in an expeditious manner. The expression of appreciation of these residents and the smile on their faces was something I was privileged to receive, but is shared by all who support the Home. Please let us not forget the residential section of our Kansas Masonic Home is in an antiquated condition. The Grand Chapter O.E.S. has been helping with special projects in the Home each year, but the comfort and needs of these residents is still dependent upon the continued support of all the Masons of Kansas. A C AND D D G M The Area Coordinators and District Deputy Grand Masters are dedicated and hard-working Masons. Together they have visited every Lodge that has not been represented at Grand Lodge the past three years. They have worked to increase district activities. Many of the District Deputy Grand Masters have had a District Table Lodge and others have had various District functions involving the Masons and their families. Their encouragement of a good Lodge program has at least partially been responsible for Grand Lodge to have had the opportunity to participate in so many public ceremonies.

SPECIAL COMMUNICATIONS Seventeen times this year I have called the M:.W:. Grand Lodge of AF & AM of Kansas into Special Communication. It is my feeling this is important and gives the public a chance to view Masonry in keeping with its ancient customs and traditions. You will find the Special Communications listed elsewhere in the report. COMMITTEES All the committee reports are printed in this proceeding, but I would like to specifically mention some of these committees. MASONIC EDUCATION Chaired by Claude Norris, these committee members demonstrated their zeal for Masonry in giving freely of their time to help formulate the educational program this year. This committee actively participated in the presentation of the programs at each of the twelve area meetings as well as the Wardens' Schools. They also helped to set up workshops for the Area Coordinators and District Deputy Grand Masters. Well done good and faithful servants. BY-LAWS Last year with the permission of M:. W:. W. Nolan Artz, then Grand Master, I appointed this committee, chaired by M:.W:. Robert C. Caplinger to up-date and clarify the wording in some of our by-laws that we had, over the years, either deleted words from or added to. This has made our by-laws much easier to interpret without changing the meaning. This committee has been active for over a year devoting much of their own time to study and research. I am most pleased with their work. GRAND LODGE LIBRARY Chaired by M:.W:. Ben W. Graybill, this committee was charged with the task of inventorying and cataloging our Grand Lodge Library. The extreme heat we experienced this past summer meant working in conditions which were unbearable at times. Under the direction of R:.W:. Keith Arington, one of the top Masonic Librarians in the world, a system for cataloging was developed and many of the books are now in a proper order, but much remains to be done. PUBLIC SCHOOLS The number of High School Seniors competing in our essay contest has been increasing each year. This committee, under the leadership of W:. John Showalter, worked very hard to promote participation in the essay contest through each Lodge. The committee's ability to consistently come up with an interesting and challenging subject for the essays has certainly added to this increasing interest. JURISPRUDENCE Each year the Grand Master turns to the Committee on Jurisprudence many times for their interpretation of our laws. This year has been no exception. Under the guidance of M:.W:. Arthur C. Hudgson, the expedient reply from this committee is always accompanied with good sound reasoning for whatever opinion is rendered.

APPOINTMENT OF GRAND REPRESENTATIVES It has been my great pleasure this year to appoint the following Grand Representatives to other jurisdictions near the Grand Lodge of Kansas. Clifford D. Knauss Lawrence D. Winegardner Ray D. Fincher W. Max Mathis Charles H. Hoffmeister Chester L. Collins Ethan A. Quakenbush Eugene V. Beggs Roderick Bentley Arthur R. Seele Arris M. Johnson

R:.W:. Sirs, stay in coiranunication with those you represent. you for accepting appointment.

Thank

OPERATION KAN Unknown to most of the Masons of Kansas, Brother Glenn Knapp and his committee made regular visits to our Brethren in the Veterans Hospitals. Their work with the Masonic Service Association has made life more pleasant for many people. LODGE OF RESEARCH On October 18, 1980, I had the privilege of issuing Letters of Dispensation to the Kansas Lodge of Research. M:.W:. Ben W. Graybill was installed as Master, M:.W:. Richard Kelsey as Senior Warden and W: . Kenneth v. Moses as Junior Warden. As I am writing this report we have already approximately 250 members ready to go to work. Material researched in the different areas can provide very interesting programs for all the Lodges in this Grand Jurisdiction as well as provide valuable information for the Grand Lodge Committee on Masonic Education. 75 YEAR PIN PRESENTATION The Grand Master is afforded many pleasures during his year and certainly one of those was presenting Brother Audrey Sanford with his 75 year emblem. Brother Sanford was initiated in Albert Pike Lodge No. 30 3 on January 3, 1906; passed to the degree of a Fellow Craft on February ]0, 1906; and raised to the Sublime Degree of a Master Mason on March 14, 1906. He was Conductor of the Midian Shrine Band for 18 years and has given to Masonry and Albert Pike Lodge the full measure of his abilities and enthusiasim. YOUTH ORGANIZATIONS The invitation issued to each of the youth organizations to have a part in this Grand Lodge session this afternoon reflects my thoughts toward the importance of these youth organizations. They will speak for themselves later. THE SCYTHE OF TIME Our death rate continues to run high. This year 1,958 of our members were cut down by the scythe of time. Among these were Past Grand Master James A. Cassler, Grand Master in 19 34, who passed away March 12, 1980.

1980-81

Grand Lodge of Kansas

M: .W:. Charles S. McGinness, Grand Master in 1943, passed away December 11, 1980. M:.W:. H. Jackson Staton, Grand Master in 1970, departed this life on June 3, 1980. I appointed M:.W:. J. Fred Williamson to fill M:.W:. Staton's unexpired term on the Masonic Home Board and M:.W:. Chester L. Gilbert to serve as Chairman of the Temple Building and Remodeling Committee for the rest of the year. R:.W:. Donald R. King, DDGM District No. 17, lost his life in a car accident on May 18, 1980. A fitting tribute to our departed Brethren will be given by M:.W:. Richard D. Kelsey, Chairman of Necrology Committee. APPENDANT AND CONCORDANT ORDERS During the year it was my great pleasure to attend meetings of several appendant orders. On March 23 and 24, 1980, I attended and spoke at the Annual Convocation of the M:.E:. Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons of Kansas. This was held in Garden City and was a fine meeting in spite of 22 inches of snow. On March 27 - 29, 1980, I attended the South-Central Workshop held in Houston, Texas, as the guest of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite, Southern Jurisdiction. On April 23, 1980, I spoke to the Grand Chapter Order of Eastern Star held in Topeka. On July 25, 19 80, I was pleased to attend and speak at the Annual Conclave of the State Chapter, Order of De Molay held in Hays, Kansas. As a farmer-rancher I find it necessary to harvest when the grain is ripe. Therefore, it was impossible for me to attend the Imperial Shrine Session in Cleveland, Ohio, nor to accept the generosity of the five Shrines in Kansas. But I do thank my noble brothers for their kind offer and I did return the funds allotted for this prupose. I do hope the incoming Grand Master will have the opportunity of accepting a similar invitation. To my Noble Brothers of Isis Temple for presentation of a Grand Master fez. Thank you again and again. It is most appreciated. Sometimes it is impossible to accept every invitation. It was therefore necessary for me to ask R:.W:. Ben B. Boyles, Deputy Grand Master, to represent me on May 8, 1980, at the Annual Assembly of the M:.I:. Grand Council of Cryptic Masons held in Kansas City. On the following day he represented me at the Annual Conclave of the Grand Commandery of Knights Templar of Kansas. R: .W:. Richard A. Porter, Grand Junior Warden, represented me at the Grand Assembly of Rainbow for Girls in Wichita on June 13, 1980. On that same date I was represented by R:.W:. Robert G. Jackson, Grand Senior Warden, in Wichita, at the Grand Bethel of Jobs Daughters. W:. Clifford D. Knauss, Grand Junior Steward represented me at the Grand Court of Kansas, Order of Amaranth. Thank you R;.W:. Sirs for your assistance. It was indeed appreciated. Each of these fine organizations continues to play a vital role in the family of Freemasonry and I do thank them one and all for their efforts.

RULINGS

I have ruled that Centre Lodge No. 147 restore Brother Homer H. Lipscomb. Brother Lipscomb was a life member of Halcyon Lodge No. 120 at the time it was consolidated with Centre Lodge'.' Centre Lodge does not give life memberships, but I pointed out in accordance with by-law 3-618 ASSETS AND LIABILITIES, Centre accepted_this responsibility. This ruling also to apply to any other members affected thereby.

After receiving a letter from interested members in Districts 47 and 48, the Council of Administration voted unanimously to consolidate District 48 with 47. (by-law 2-130) . I therefore ordered this consolidation to be effective immediately, the 22nd day of January, 1981.

Wichita Lodge No. 99 requested waiver of the time before a petition could be presented a second time. I ruled against this request citing ARTICLE X, Section 6 of our Constitution.

Brother Robert A. Brewer, Palmyra Lodge No. 23, was initiated March 6, 19 32, in Palmyra Lodge. He removed to Colorado and completed the degrees on March 17, 1965, as requested of Malta Lodge No. 178. This action was unreported for 15 years. I ruled after Brother Brewer paid two years back dues plus the current year his record would appear as continuous.

Brother Phillip Earl Erickson was initiated by Atwood Lodge No. 164 on April 26, 1958. A short time later he moved to Ellsworth. On request Ellsworth Lodge No. 146 conferred the Second Degree on October 25, 1959, and the Third Degree on November 16, 1959. This information was not relayed to Atwood Lodge until November of 1980. I have ruled with the payment of two years back dues plus the current year would allow his record to appear continuous.

I ruled that Floyd Mills Bair, a resident of Louisburg, Kansas, could petition Kansas City Lodge No. 220 in Kansas City, Missouri ARTICLE XI, Section 2.

I have ruled that David Lee Rogers upon receipt of a waiver from the Grand Jurisdiction of Missouri being a resident of that state could petition a Kansas Lodge for the Mysteries (by-law 4-115) .

I have ruled against the consolidation of Holyrood Lodge No. 343 with Ellsworth Lodge No. 146. I do not feel that a lodge of 98 members should be granted consolidation.

A letter from Latham Lodge No. 401 solicited fimds from all lodges in Kansas. We are all interested in seeing this lodge once again rise from the ruins of a disasterous explosion, but I found it necessary to refuse such action. All funds thus collected were ordered returned (by-law 3-502).

10.

A request from the Senior Warden of Sharon Springs Lodge No. 417 to hold installation on Sunday, I have ruled this would be in violation of by-law 3-416.

11.

A letter was received from Reno Lodge No. 140 concerning the forwarding of a dues card to Brother Estel Eugene Thode. Brother Thode received the Entered Apprentice Degree in Reno Lodge and the remaining degrees in Wichita under the conditions of the then existing waiver. I ruled he should be given a dues card upon remittance of the necessary sum, and ordered it forwarded at once.

1980-81

12.

Grand Lodge of Kansas

I have ruled payment of mileage and per diem shall occur: 1.

After installation at Grand Lodge at 1:00 p.m. or after the closing of Grand Lodge, whichever comes first.

13.

In response to a request from Eureka Lodge No. 8B I have ruled no beverage with an alcoholic content would be served in the temple or at a lodge function (by-law 3-619).

14.

Isis Temple. Upon receiving word that a cereal malt license had been issued to Isis Temple it was evident this would mean dispensing of beer within the Masonic Temple at 336 S. Santa Fe. I therefore ordered the Potentate of Isis Temple to return the license. Further, that all alcoholic beverages also be removed from the premises. This was complied with. RECOMMENDATIONS

I recommend to the Grand Lodge of Kansas and the Council of Administration work be continued on the Grand Lodge Library. #2 I would recommend the Committee on By-Laws continue to study the wording in our Laws of Masonry of Kansas. #3 I recommend that Entered Apprentice and Fellow Crafts become dues-paying Masons.- A Master is suspended from all the rights and privileges of Masonry for non-payment of dues, yet we carry Entered Apprentices and Fellow Crafts forever. It is conceivable a Fellow Craft could sit in a Lodge of Entered Apprentice or Fellow Craft for several years and never pay dues. #4 It is reported to me that we have Lodges who are not giving the lectures at the same communication the brother is obligated. Some of this is due to the fact we have small Lodges who end up without anyone proficient in the lectures at the time the degree is given. I also have as of yet in my 25 years of Masonry, never witnessed the giving of the second and third section lectures without interruptions. During these lectures members are constantly leaving the Lodge room. I have even seen the time the Master had to ask the Brethren in the kitchen or dining area to come fill a chair in order to have enough to close. This is not creating the right impression on the candidate nor are we being fair to the lecturer. If Lodges were given the option of giving these lectures on a different night, that would give us the opportunity to have the candidate back in our Lodge one additional time. The evening could be devoted to education and instruction. I hereby recommend By-Law 4-214 be amended to read as follows: The first section lecture of each Degree must be given during the communication at which the brother is obligated. The second and third section lectures must be given within 30 days or before advancing to the next degree. THE GRAND LODGE OFFICERS The Grand Lodge Officers this year have strengthened Masonry throughout the state. They have been prompt, willing and competent men who have traveled many miles to attend Grand Lodge Functions. I have appreciated so very much their dedication. Lois and I have come to know them and their families through working together. We will always cherish the friendship of these outstanding Masons.

CONCLUSION I would like to express my thanks to the Council of Administration for their support and contribution to Masonry this year. I am confident you will appreciate the capable leadership of my successors. To M:.W:. Ralph D. Walker who awarded me the honor of serving this Grand Lodge, my most sincere thank you. Last, but not least, I want to thank also my wife, Lois, for her love and understanding and for being my navigator, my co-pilot, and my source of inspiration during this enjoyable year.

The erection of this new temple has been attended by several remarkable endeavors. When it was finally decided to raze the old building and erect a new one, it was found that the workmen to be employed (because of high inflation) could only give a short time security on prices for this part of the project. Approval was secured from the Temple Building and Remodeling Committee and the work began. In less than six weeks the shell of the building was sitting on its new foundation. The brethren of the lodge and the sisters of the Eastern Star Chapter have worked together hand-in-hand in making this project a reality. The fund raising drive netted more than $20,000 and was wisely used with the members of the lodge supplying the physical labor. This structure will have a 40' x 50' lodge room with a dining area of 35' X 40'. As said by the mayor of Burlingame, a worthy addition not only because of the lodge, but for the entire community. The working area or dining area of the temple will be used for other projects in the community.

ROBERT STEPHAN, Attorney General: I have to move this stand. I am going to take just a little bit longer - 'cause I used to go to school over here at Allison, and we had a lot of fellove in our class that were living here. And all of us thought this place was so beautiful that we wanted to live here. I never got it done, but I might have. It took me 18 years to finally get ray degrees and it makes me feel a certain sense of pride that I hadn't felt before - to be able to be a part of this great institution. The students that I was with have gone on to bigger and better things, and I know it's because of what was instilled in them in this Masonic Home. I'm proud to be here. I congratulate you - and it's great to be back in Wichita. JHM:

Jack Brier, Secretary of State for the State of Kansas.

JACK BRIER, Secretary of State: Thank you very much. It's particularly an honor for me as a Senior DeMolay, as a state official, and coming from a family that represents four generations of Masonic work. This means a great deal to me. Additionally, I would like to say there are two people that I have the honor to share this podium with here today who get either the credit or the blame for whatever success I've had -

Proceedings of the

the Reverend Forrest Haggard who has been my minister for many, many years; and Judge Raum who started in DeMolay, in fact I initiated him. He may think that I'm trained, but we trained him right. So it is a particularly great honor for me to have the opportunity to be here, and I think in looking at this facility that it stands for more than bricks and mortar. It stands for not only the good work of Masons, but the full realization that we now, in some small way, can pay back the elderly. Repay, with a fitting tribute, the blood, sweat and tears that so many people have given of their time and of their lives which has made the promises of a brighter tomorrow a reality today. I join all Kansas in saluting you for your efforts. Thank you. JHM: Another member of our rostrum that is not here and may arrive, and we certainly hope so, is Dan Glickman, U.S. Congressman fromithe Fourth District, who is on his way from Hutchinson, Kansas.

Starns; R: .W: . Ben B. Boyles, Deputy Grand Master;. R: .W:. Robert G. Jackson, Grand Senior Warden; and R:.W:. Richard A. Porter, Grand Junior Warden. The Officers approached the Ark. The next person to speak was F. Warren Starns, Grand Master: Whereas the Masons o f old were then together in secrecy and harmony to erect magnificent buildings for the worship of God and the benefit of mankind and, whereas in so doing they did form small select companies of each other in order to protect their secrets of building, and to assure that those who were entrusted with those secrets were men who believed in God and in the Eternal Destiny of the human soul; so we, today, are inheritors of the Masonic ideals and customs of those Ancient Freemasons and are still engaged in the process of being builders. We are assembled here to dedicate this area of building in our world, this new Health Care Center for the Kansas Masonic Home. We will have a prayer by our Grand Chaplain. CONRAD JOHNSON, Grand Chaplain: Most gracious and glorious Lord God, Creator of all things and Governor of all things Thou has made, graciously look upon these Thy children assembled here. Thou art the creator and governor of all things. Grant to us wisdom in all our doings. Grace the mind in all our difficulties and the beauty of harmony and holiness in all our communication and work, that faith be the foundation of our hope and charity be the fruits of our obedience to Thy Divine Will. Oh, Thou preserver of men, graciously enable us now to dedicate this house which we have erected to the honor and glory of Thy Holy Name. Mercifully be pleased to accept this service at our hand. May all who shall be lawfully appointed to move herein, according to the Constitution, be under Thy divine guidance and protection and faithfully perform all the duties which they owe to Thee and to each other. That all who shall enter within these consecrated walls be of one heart and one mind. To love, to honor, to cherish and obey Thee as Thy majesty and boundless goodness directs. And to love one another as Thou has loved us. May we each supply one another with love and gratitude as we serve Thee. That all who shall enter here be under Thy Divine Protection and faithfully perform all the duties which they owe to Thee and to each other. May we here meet in Thy name as a band of brethren who were all created by the same Almighty Being, are daily sustained.by the same Almighty Hand, and are all traveling the same road that leads to the gates of death. May we here have always present in our minds religion, purpose, love, peace - and harmony reign within us. May all the work which shall be done within this hall have Thy approval and support, and may each brother wherever they might be. Oh, Almighty Architect of the Universe, grant unto them peace and understanding. And finally. Oh Lord, when we are approaching near to the end of our time and our pillar of strength is declining to the ground, graciously enable us to pass through the Shadow of the Valley of Death supported by Thy rod and Thy staff to those Mansions above the skies where peace, love and joy shall reign forever before Thy throne. Amen. So mote it be. F. WARREN STARNS, Grand Master: When the foundations of the world were laid, the children of God received solemn instructions to build wisely and well. Following the pattern given and on the foundation_:pf faith and obedience we, therefore, as Free and Accepted Masons, do promote and support the things that are constructed to promote happiness and erected for the growth and well-being of all mankind. BEN B. BOYLES, Deputy Grand Master: M:.W:. Grand Master, the Grand Architect of the Universe having placed in the hearts of itien the desire

Amen. So mote it be. JHM: May I introduce to you, Louetta Secrest, Worthy Grand Matron of the Grand Chapter of the Order of Eastern Star. Would you share a few words with us. LOUETTA SECREST, Worthy Grand Matron: Grand Master, other distinguished guests, my sisters, brothers and friends. It is a himbling privilege for me, as your Worthy Grand Matron, to bring greetings and congratulations on behalf of the over 63,000 members of the Order of the Eastern Star in Kansas on this most historic day for the Kansas Masonic Home and the Kansas Masonic Family. I would address your attention to the Second Degree of our Order, the Degree of Constancy. Represented by the Lesson of Ruth which teaches us that by patient industry, gathering here a little and there a little, we may provide for the infirmaties of age. We are dedicating a building today, but we are also dedicating ourselves to the principles for which each one of our organizations

stand. Like Ruth, there will be hardships; but we will endure them and we will reap the harvest of filial love. Thank you. JHM: And now, the M:.W:. Grand Master of the M:.W:. Grand Lodge of Ancient, Free and Accepted Freemasons of Kansas, F. Warren Starns. GRAND MASTER: Thank you. Worthy Grand Matron, Most Worshipful Sirs, ladies and my brethren. This is a most happy day for the 72,000 Masons of Kansas as they are very, very proud of this fine gerontology center which we are dedicating this afternoon. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the people who participated in the parade, and I would especially like to thank the Illustrious Potentate Del Rensner and the Midian Shrine for their two units which had prior commitments but did agree to help us - we appreciate it very much. The Dixieland Band which performed out here so graciously for us - I thank you kindly. I would like to tell you it is an honor and a pleasure for me to introduce our speaker for this afternoon. A gentleman who served his country in the military for 35 years after graduating from the U. S. Military Academy at West Point. Following in the footsteps of such great Americans as Douglas MacArthur, George Marshal, Dwight Eisenhower and others. General Johnson was elevated to be Chief of Staff of the United States Army. During World War II, he was one of the few survivors of the Bataan Death March. He served as a battalion commander during the Korean War. Following the Korean War, he served his country both at home and abroad in various command positions. In the military. General Johnson has been awarded the Combat Infantry Badge with star, the Distinguished Service Cross, the Distinguished Service Cross Medal with oak leaf cluster, the Legion of Merit with three oak leaf clusters, the Bronze Star Medal; he also has received decorations from Brazil, the Philippines, sowila Thailand, Korea, South Vietnam, France and Spain. Since his retirement from the Army in 1968, General Johnson has continued to demonstrate and foster love of country as President of Freedom's Foundation at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, from 19 71 to 19 74; and from which he received the George Washington Award - the Foundation's highest award. He served two terms as President of the National Capitol Area Council of the Boy Scouts of America, Washington, D.C. Seven honorary degrees from colleges and universities have been awarded him, as well as the Bene Marante Award from Pope Paul VI for his contribution to the spiritual field, and the National Citizenship Award for 1969 from the Military Chaplains Association. I present General Harold K. Johnson, retired Chief of Staff of the United States Army. GENERAL HARDLDK. JOHNSON: Thank you. M:.W:. Grand Master, M:.W:. Officers of the Grand Lodge of Kansas, Masonic Brothers and friends, everyone. It's a very real pleasure to be here today. My roots were formed in North Dakota. As a matter of fact, straight up Highway 81. So it's not all that far away. I always like to come back to this great mid-west where the values are the same as they were when I grew up, and where people believe in the same things in which I believe, and where they will not be dissuaded from having the values for which this nation stands. It's a thrill, really, to be standing here today under this glorious sun in this great State of Kansas. My wife and I had two different tours of Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas, after World War II and again in the early 60's, and we look back on those years as the happiest time in our 35 years of military service. Just a great, great place to be. I envy those of you whose home it is and who can be here all of the time. And I want to talk today just a little bit about why we can be here, why

we can enjoy this opportunity to express ourselves, to listen to others express themselves, and not be inhibited in any way or be under surveillance while we do it. I want to start off with a quotation from Pericles - this is long before the birth of Christ, but I think that it has application for everyone of us today. He said this: "I would have you day by day fix your eyes upon the greatness of your country until you become filled with the love of her. And when you are impressed by the spectacle of her glory, reflect that it has been acquired by men who knew/their duty and had the courage to do it." Men who knew their duty and had the courage to do it. During my tenure as Chief of Staff, I used to get a great many communications. As a matter of fact, I was looking through some just this morning at the hotel. This is a poem that a lady sent me. She said that it had given her strength and had been given her by her dad. It goes like this - not really a poem. "A vision without a task is a dream. A task without a vision is drudgery. But a task and a vision are the hope of the world." We were given a vision by our founding fathers, and when you look back to the vision that they gave us it is all the more remarkable as to how clear it remains - how undistorted it continues to be. They gave us in the Preamble to the Constitution six objectives. Sometimes we tend to forget them a little bit. I propose today to talk just a little bit about where we stand with respect to those objectives. Nuniier One was to form a more perfect union; Number Two, to establish justice; Number Three, insure domestic tranquillity; Number Four was to provide for the common defense; Number Five, promote the general welfare; and, finally, secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity. Where do we stand? Well, I think that we all know we will never achieve perfection in the matter of this union; but it doesn't mean that we shouldn't continue to try. I've believed all of my life that every day is a new day. Every day, each of us must pay the price of admission once again. What have we done for our country today? What did we do for our country yesterday? If the answer is nothing, we have failed on that day. But every day another admission charge. Establish justice. I think that it is recognized that there are inequities from time to time in our system, and I'm reminded of the statement that Churchill, I think, made at Westminster College in Missouri shortly after World War II. When just talking along to his audience, he suddenly said, "You know, you have the worst government in the world". He paused a moment and said, "Except for all the rest". And we do have the best justice in the worldwhether people will acknowledge it or not. we have a splendid system of justice. Its applicatiojn falters from time to time, but it is administered by people like you and me and|each of us knows that we have our individual failures. The thing is that we cknnot prpmote justice by responding to our emotions. How many of us violate the law deliberately from time to time? A week ago tomorrow, by wife and I were driving home from northern New York and I suppose about fifty percent of the time I was exceeding the speed limit. I think we all do that type of thing little things - but when you band them all together, big things. Insure domestic tranquillity. Here I must say that I have, to a considerable extent, a particularly bitter feeling - at least a sense of some bitterness in times past. About a year before I became Chief of Staff I became the Deputy Chief of Staff for Military Operations. It was a day like this in the east, perhaps a little bit warmer. It was Mother's Day, 1963. In the mid-afternoon I received a call at my quarters. The man said I thought you would like to know that the Secretary of the Army and the Chief of Staff are in the Army Operations Center. That was my bailiwick and,, of course, I wanted to know. I headed over and found one of them talking to the President and the other one talking to the Attor-

1980-81

Grand Lodge of Kansas

ney General who at that time was the President's brother. They were talking about the same subject and containing different information. By eleven o'clock that night, elements of four army divisions were marching on Birmingham, Alabama, to preserve peace and order. And it got worse from then on. Until in October, 196 7, we had the march on the Pentagon and then, perhaps the bitterest period of all, in the spring of 1968 the assassination of Martin Luther King. On Friday evening we had federal troops in the Capital City of our Nation; on Sunday evening, federal troops in Chicago; on Sunday afternoon, federal troops in Baltimore. I had people in Kansas City, Pittsburgh and a number of other cities around the country - wondering to myself when is it going to stop? Is the Army going to stretch? What happens if the Army fails? You know, you look over your shoulder and say, what's next? And you have to say, nothing. The simple answer was, the Army couldn't fail. And in that circumstance the Army didn't fail. I was enormously proud - but nonetheless, that bitter taste. I don't know if any of you have had the experience of riding down that long ridge on which Arlington Cemetery is located. My home is at the end of the ridge. Looking out over the capital city and seeing it silhouetted against the fires that were burning in the dark of night was a horrible, horrible sight to see. It's something that I hope I never see again. It's something that I hope shall never, never happen again to our country because we did not have domestic tranquillity - we had not preserved the peace really in our own covmtry at that time. Washington said in his farewell address that the Constitution we had could be changed at any time with the proper procedures, but the laws we have are bound to be followed by the citizenry at that time. We must obey the laws we have. Provide for the common defense. There are a lot of different perceptions about this. I would like to quote just a short piece of doggerel in this regard because everybody sees things differently. This is a little story called, "Six Blind Men and the Elephant". It goes like this: "There were six men at Hindustan to learning much inclined. Who went to see the elephant though all of them were blind. That each by observation might satisfy his mind. The first stepped up to the elephant, felt the tusk and called it a sword. The second felt the trunk and called it a snake. The third felt an ear and called it a fan. The fourth felt the side of the elephant and called it a wall. The fifth felt a leg and called it a tree. And the sixth grasped the tail and called it a rope. And so these men of Hindustan disputed loud and long. Each in his own opinion exceeding stiff and strong. Though all were in the right yet all were in the wrong. And the moral is so oft in theologic wars the disputants I ween. Rail on in utter ignorance of what each other means, And prate about an elephant not one of them has seen." I think that we have a great many blind men looking at an elephant about the state of our national defense today. A lot of what's said, unfortunately, is true. The Army has a hard time getting anywhere unless the Navy and the Air Force takes them. The Navy, unfortunately, today doesn't have the capability to take the Army anywhere. And unless the Navy can get them there, keep them there, and keep them supplied, there isn't much the Army can do about things. In the best months that we had in Vietnam, as an illustration, 97 percent of the supplies that we consumed had to come in on Navy ships ,- only 3 percent by air. Because air handled people, most of the people were flown. But in terms of the tons we used in Vietnam, it took a ship's bottom to get it there. This is just a plain fact of life that we must recognize. There's been a lot said aabout the quality of the Army - and here I must say I am torn. Because the kind of people that are in have caused problems historically in the past, yet the people who are responsible today say that these individuals are trainable. They can be trained. The problem is there is not

enough time to train them. In ray time, in a particular military occupational specialty, as an illustration, you might have 70 to 75 tasks associated with it. A specialty today would be increased in the sophistication of the equipment, and you might have 150 tasks associated with doing a problem. And the fact of the matter is the individuals that are going out on the job and are expected to perform, are being taught about half the tasks because that's all the time there is. If it takes more time, it is then going to take more people. And people coroe awfully expense - something on the order of about not less than $10,000 an individual. This is one of the reasons you get the squeeze on the size of the force - because of the cost in dollars and the cost in taxes to you and me in supporting larger elements of force. There are questions as to just how'much fighting can be done. I read Secretary Brown's statements that people are ready to fight, and I would agree that the people are ready to fight - because no military unit is ever going to say that it is not ready to fight. But the question is, how long can it fight? You get it overseas, and we can't support it in terms of keeping the bullets coming and keeping the beans coming. We still need those kinds of things. And it is important to understand that all of the rhetoric has a number of sides to it. On the one hand, there is a trainable Army; on the other hand, there is not time to train it. On the one hand, there is an Army that can fight, or a Navy that can fight, or an Air Force that can fight; but on the other hand, there is an inadequacy of supplies to keep them fighting. And clearly we've got to keep going if the fight is to be effective in the end. I could dwell on this topic for a long time, but I am not going to try to do that because I am sure that it would not necessarily interest you all that much. So I would like to proceed then to "provide for the general welfare". Here I would like to quote just a bit from Gibbon. Here he is not talking about Rome, but about Athens; and he said, "In the end more than they wanted freedom, they wanted security. When the Athenians finally wanted not give to society, but for society to give to them; when the freedom they wished for was freedom from responsibility, then Athens ceased to be free." I think that is the great symbol of this institution that is dedicated today. Because here. Masons have accepted the responsibility for their own and have taken the action to fulfill that responsibility. This is what we need all over the country this same kind of attitude, we need all over the country. I can recall coming back after World War II, having been out of communication with this country for more than five years, and seeing an occasional magazinehearing an occasional radio headline - I think you would all agree that there is not a whole lot of depth in TV and electronic news. Hooter, I hope you are not offended, but I hope that you all agree, (laughter) We didn't really know much about what was going on in this country, but when I got back to San Francisco in 1945, there was an attitude of "what's in it for me" that prevailed then. You had to know somebody on the ration board to get a new set of tires. It was pretty good if you knew the manager of Penney's or Sears because then you might be able to get a pair of nylons for your wife, or you might be able to get a white towel instead of an olive drab towel; or you might be able to get white underwear instead of olive drab underwear. You had to slip a little money under the table to get a key for an apartment. You just had a whole national attitude of "gimme, gimme, gimme, let me have a piece of it". What we have now is not really all that new. It's just a continuation of what occurred in those years and it's something that we have to be conscious of - something that we have to fight within ourselves and somehow wipe away. Because we have got to believe in this country, we have got to have faith in this country, if we are going to survive.

And in that connection, I again want to report a personal experience. But first I am going to read another little poem that was given to me. This came really from the brother of the man who was a deputy director during Mr. Nixon's term, and he refused to direct the Director of the FBI to suppress the investigation at the time of Watergate. His brother had this little poem: "Oh Lord, lest I go my complacent way, help me to remember that somewhere out there a man died for me today. So long as there be war, I must ask and answer, am I worth dying for?" You stop. Have you ever asked yourself that question? Why should people lay their lives on the line for me? What am I worth? What have I done for other people? What have I done for the Human Race that warrants someone laying down his life for me? I recall, too, in 1964 I was asked to speak at a President's Prayer Breakfast in 1965 - the first lay speaker to appear. I like to remind people that Billy Graham appeared the year before me and appeared the year after me which indicated that I hadn't done very well in the middle. But, on this occasion, the man who originated the idea in Seattle, Washington, in the middle 30's came over to have lunch with me and, I think, to check me out. A great figure of a man, an enormous head, great shock of grey hair and blue, blue eyes that when you were standing with him, face to face, looked right through you - just piercing blue eyes. We sat down at the table and he said "let's say grace" and he offered grace. Then he pushed his chair back and put his hands on the table and looked at me with those eyes and he said, "What kind of a man are you?" Well, people weren't asking me that in those days - at least not many - and I was somewhat taken aback, and I tried to respond. I wasn't offended because this was just the way he was - just a great, great man. When he died a few years later he was one of the few people that I have seen pass on for whom there was no remorse, no feeling of sorrow on my part at all. Because he was so anxious to meet his Savior face to face that he would walk up to the pearly gates, I am sure, and say, "God, what do you have for me to do now?" - and could hardly wait to get it - he was that type of man. But have you asked yourself, what kind of a person am I being? What am I doing for my country; what am I doing for my city; what am I doing for my school; what am I doing for my neighbor? This is what it takes. And then finally, it takes something just a little bit more than that. Something deep, deep in the heart, deep, deep in the soul. During my time as a prisoner, I served as the purchasing officer for the camp. Curiously we were paid by the Japanese at the same rate they paid their people. We didn't get much to spend actually because the first guy would give you your money, the next guy would take it back; and the next guy would leave you your allowance for the month which in our case was 25 pesos. It really didn't have much value because in purchasing things, prices kept going up and there were a number of controlled items that were very difficult to get - salt, sugar, tobacco, matches and cooking oil. So I asked the Japanese if I could go down in Manila and talk to the authorities there and get an allowance for our camp. For 13 months they said they were very busy and I couldn't go they didn't have time to take me - and in the 13th month they finally said okay. On the date we set, we got on the train which was a mixed train, passengers and freight, a steam engine fueled with coconut husks, and it took us about ten hours to make a journey of less than 125 miles. Philippinos were riding it, carrying their things to market - chickens, ducks, eggs and various things of that kind - and when we got into the station on the north side of Manila, I was held aboard the train while the passengers were taken off. Finally when the station was clear, the Japanese surrounded me and I marched down the station platform. As I walked down that platform a sound struck my ear that I really couldn't recognize, couldn't identify particularly, so I glanced over my shoulder

and there behind a concrete post was a little Philippine girl - she was perhaps eight, nine or ten, and she was flashing me the "V" sign from behind the post - this was 1943 remember - flashing me the "V" sign from behind the post and she was whistling. Guess what she was whistling? - "God Bless America". You know, it hit me then , how could this little person 10,000 miles away from the United States - never having lived in the United States I am sure - have that kind of a faith in a distant county. Somebody had clearly told her about it. As I reflected on that over the years - and there have been a lot of years - the thought comes back to me time and time again, that someone like that, eight, nine or ten years old, could have that sort of faith - because there was a risk involved. Someone came up to me in Atlanta after I told this story and said, "You know, we had a similar experience, except the Japanese guard took him out and bayoneted him". So there was a risk to the kid and he, I am sure, knew that; but he defied it and he had faith. And it seems to me that I can have no less, and it seems to me that you can have no less, than that share of faith - a belief in the greatness and the goodness of this country. Because it is a great country and it is a good country, and we shouldn't let anybody tell us that it isn't. Because there are all kinds of motives behind those reasons for telling us that we are not good - to destroy our belief in ourselves, which is one of the first objectives of the Communist movement. So it is important for us to believe we are great, we are good. We will live if we will endure, but it's our will and our faith that we must count on. And I ask everyone of you to just have a small measure of the faith of that little Philippine girl. God bless America. God bless all of you. Thank you. JHM: Thank you. General Johnson. Prior to our benediction, I would like to remind you that the tours of the Home will be available following this ceremony. These tours begin through the door behind us here on the west side. You will be instructed to proceed from there. Dedication Books are available. These are quite attractive books. They make nice souveniers for your family - one book per family. As you exit the Health Care Center - it will be the final exit of your tour - you will find a registration book there at the desk. Please sign that registration book and take a souvenier booklet with you - one per family. For those of you who are parked at Lawrence Dumont Stadium, there are several buses that are available and you see them through the north here. These buses will rotate and come back here until we get everybody back to Lawrence Dumont Stadium. The lead bus will go to the stadium, the second bus will go to the Scottish Rite Temple, the Consistory. The third bus - there are only two buses, aren't there? (laughter) So that is the agenda for the activity at the closing of our ceremony here. At this time we will have the benediction given by W:. Conrad F. Johnson, Grand Chaplain. GRAND CHAPLAIN: Almight God and our Father, we do thank Thee for the many blessings of life Thou has bestowed upon us on this occasion. Again we are thankful that Thou has blest us by the words that we have heard this afternoon. May we take them within our own being and live a life that would be pleasing in Thy sight. May we listen to the still, small voice that whispers into our ears the words of wisdom. And may we ever fill our obligation to Thee recognizing that Thou art the giver of all things, that eventually we may dwell with Thee in the Eternal Lodge of God. We humbly pray in Thy name. Amen. So mote it be.

After the officers arrived at their stations, the Acting Grand Master seated the assemblage.

Three microphones had been placed at convenient points so that the public could hear the words of the dedicatory ritual. W:. Paul E. Murphy, Acting Deputy Grand Master, asked for the approbation of the Grand Lodge in these endeavors and requested that the Dedication be held.

REPORT OF THE GRAND SECRETARY To the M:.W:. Grand Lodge A.F. & A.F. of Kansas: In accordance with the By-laws and regulations of this Grand Jurisdiction, report of the affairs of the office of Grand Secretary is hereby submitted. (Ref. Art. VI, Sec. 9, By-laws 2-110 and 2-111) ANNUAL REPORTS This year reports were given special care to insure prompt delivery. This resulted in an improved return of reports. Only one Lodge failed to report or request extension of time within the time frame specified in our Constitution Article X, Sec. 9. The importance of compliance cannot be overemphasized. Elsewhere in this report you will find the result of the statistical listing. The unfortunate result indicates yet another loss. The pattern continues to show excessive losses to death and suspension for nonpayment of dues. Yet we can point with pride to the nearly 1100 new Master Masons added to our rolls last year. We are also pleased to confirm the high degree of lodge activity already reported by our Grand Master. NON-PROFIT CORPORATION CHARTERS AND INSURANCE On a number of occasions this year, the questions of non-profit corporation charters and insurance were directed to this office. Both subjects are the responsibility of the individual Lodges, but should receive careful consideration. Proper insurance is a must and should be examined yearly to insure adequate coverage. CONSOLIDATIONS An unusual number of requests for information concerning consolidations was received this year. On instruction from our Grand Master, investigation was conducted by the Grand Secretary. A number of reasons for consolidation were reviewed. Each case seems to be individual, yet in general most problems are similar. Some of the more common reasons given were, employment, demographic changes within the community, competition of other activities for member's time and financial pressures. Boredom seems to be our greatest enemy. When degree conferral is lacking, many assume all is lost. In all cases it has been suggested Lodge officers look to our Masonic Education Committee and research for viable alternatives and programs. INVENTORY At one time this year we had high hopes that our in-house inventory would include the books in our library. A good start was made, thanks to the very diligent efforts of the Library Committee, but we are still short of that goal. Additions to Library and Museum: Received from James W.

INCOME & EXPENDITURES On January 22, 1981, the Grand Master asked the Council of Administration, the Committee of Finance and the Grand Treasurer to attend a finance meeting at the Grand Lodge Office in Topeka. The estimations to be found on the following pages are a compilation of that meeting. We are indeed fortunate to have the services and expertise of such dedicated, devoted. Brothers. Wise handling of our funds has made it possible to realize a sizeable income from investments. Yet it must be said this budget lacks flexibility. The continuation of inflationary pressures could change our position almost overnight. COMMITTEES At the risk of being repetitive, I still cannot refrain from again and again paying highest tribute to the Chairmen and members of our Grand Lodge Committees. Their work, assistance, and advice are a valued asset of the Grand Jurisdiction. APPRECIATION AND THANKS To the Staff of the Grand Lodge Office, R:.W:. David Recob, my secretary Mrs. Jean Rader, Lillian Wiant and Brother Jack Werner, a sincere thank you. TO the Council of Administration ray personal thanks for their efforts and many considerations. To our Grand Master for his kind and courageous manner, my very deep appreciation. Last but not least and as always my thanks to you, one and all, for allowing me to again serve you in the office of Grand Secretary. Respectfully and fraternally submitted. Albert O. Arnold, Jr. Grand Secretary

REPORT OF NECROLOGY COMMITTEE M:.W:. Richard D. Kelsey, P.G.M., Chairman, presented the following report which, on his motion, was accepted. Following the report, the Brethren were called up and observed a minute of silent prayer for the departed Brothers, followed by prayer by M:.W:. Kelsey: To the M:.W:. Grand Lodge A.F. S A.M. of Kansas: Most Worshipful Grand Master and Brethren, it is with tears of sadness and joy that I report on those of our brothers who have been taken from among us since our last Annual Communication. There is sadness that we no longer walk the pathway of life with these departed brothers. There is joy in having known them and having shared in their lives, knowing full well that their memories can never be taken from us. Our Grand Lodge suffered the loss of 1,981 of our brethren during the past year. Among these were two Past Grand Masters, two past Grand Lecturers, one District Deputy Grand Master and at least one past District Deputy Grand Master. The Masonic records of these distinguished brothers are typical of the dedication and devotion of those we lost this past year. M:.W:. Charles S. McGinness Most Worshipful Brother Charles was the Dean of the living Past Grand Masters, having served this Grand Jurisdiction in 1943. His Masonic record began in Ionic Lodge No. 254, AF&AM, at St. John, Kansas, in June 1929. He transferred his membership to Cherryvale Lodge No. 137 in 1930, and served as its Master in 1937. His record of service to our fraternity spanned more than fifty years. Not only did Bro. Charles find time to serve his Lodge and the Grand Lodge, but he was very active in other Masonic orders - serving as Worthy Grand Patron of the Eastern Star in 1958. His other Masonic interests included York and Scottish Rite as well as the Mystic Shrine. Perhaps his greatest service was rendered during the time he served this Grand Jurisdiction as Grand Secretary. It is with a tear of joy that we remember, with honor and pleasure one who has given so willingly and generously of his time to the advancement of our Fraternity and the service of mankind in general. Our Brother departed December 11, 1980.

M:.W:. H. Jackson Staton Most Worshipful Brother Jack served as Grand Master in 1970. His service to Freemasonry began in Ionic Lodge No. 254 at St. John, Kansas, in June of 1945. He served that Lodge as Master in 1958. In 1962 he received his first appointment as a Grand Lodge Officer. His service to our fraternity was continuous from that time until his passing in June, 1980. At the time of his death he was serving on the Masonic Home Board. It was written about our Brother Jack, at the conclusion of his terra as Grand Master, "the characteristics which best exemplify Jack Staton are Appreciation, Loyalty and Courage." To those of us who were privileged to share his life, those words certainly ring true. I feel that it is fitting here to repeat the words he wrote in his address to this Grand Lodge concerning those who had fallen that year: "We grieve ....but then we must take the torch they have handed us, consider their dedication and attempt to carry on as they would have desired." So mote it bel R:.W:. Don King, DDGM Right Worshipful Don King, DDGM of District 17, was killed in an auto accident in May, 1980. A member of Polar Star Lodge No. 130, he had barely begun his term of office at the time of his death. It was a real tragedy for his family, losing his wife and mother in the same accident. It was a great loss for his lodge and community, and for all of us who had the pleasure of knowing him. He was so full of enthusiasm for life and for our Fraternity and his death seemed so untimely. Yet in this sorrow there is also the joy of having shared, and the memories will always be ours. Masons are ever grateful for the dedicated service of their Brothers. At this point it is fitting that we pay tribute to three who distinguished themselves well as Masons and as servants to Freemasonry: Brother Glen Jenkins and Brother Garnett Greene, both Lecturers Emeritus, were taken from us in February, 1981. Brother William McMullen, past DDGM of District 14, was also among our brothers who have fallen in the past year. Each of these three distinguished themselves among us by their loyal and dedicated service. May their memories long live within us, that we may always hear tiie wisdom of Lheir words and possess the gems of their thoughts. Let us pray. Our Father, and Creator of all mankind. We praise Thee for sharing with us these lives. May their memories shine as one of the stars of heaven. Reassuring us, that if our lives conform to the conduct And principles of Freemasonry, and guided by the Holy Writ, We shall measure up to the purpose of our creation. In these memories we shed the quiet tear. Yet it will hold for us the fullness of their lives, We shall find both comfort for our sorrow, and the joy for having shared their living. Amen. Fraternally submitted, Richard D. Kelsey, PGM, Chairman

Arnold, Jr. Secretary to the Council GRAND LODGE PUBLICATIONS W:. O. D. Smith, Committee Member, submitted the following report which, on his motion, was accepted: To the M:.W:. Grand Lodge of A.F. S, A.M. of Kansas: We have published six issues of The Kansas Mason this year. The October issue contained eight pages in order to pick up a backlog of material that was on hand. The Council of Administration approved the extra printing. We have been able to keep within the budget amount of $31,500 even with the added expenses of the extra edition. Again, we encourage the constituent lodges to send in items of information to be publitihecl. Some of ycu are very consi.<^tent and keep us well supplied. We vow to publish everything in good taste that comes across the desk... .whether the spelling is correct, or the punctuation accurate, or even if the structure is proper. Once more it seems fitting and proper to delineate the purpose of publication of The Kansas Mason. First of all, it is a vehicle to disseminate Masonic education for the edification of the Craft; secondly, it is a tool to publish information and activities of the Grand Lodge and the Constituent Lodges; and, thirdly, it becomes more or less a repository for items of historical value. We are grateful to our Most Worshipful Grand Master, F. Warren Starns, for appointment to this committee and trust we have served him well. Fraternally submitted, William F. Mcintosh, Chairman O. D.

PRESENTATION M:.W:. Thomas C. Raum, PGM, retiring Executive Officer of DeMoIay, introduced Brother Dennis A. Daugherty to the Grand Lodge as the recently appointed Executive Officer of DeMolay in Kansas. He spoke of the many awards that Brother Daugherty had received, including the highest honors in DeMolay. Brother Daugherty accepted with humility and heartfelt thanks. He expressed his enthusiasm for the future of DeMolay in Kansas, and stated that he hoped the number of lodges sponsoring Chapters of De Molay would show a great increase. This year his emphasis was to be on new chapter development, and he asked for the support of all the Masons of Kansas in this endeavor. REPORT OF THE KANSAS MASONIC HOME ADMINISTRATOR Brother Jerry B. Lindenbaum, Administrater, gave the following report which, on his motion, was approved: To the M:.W:. Grand Lodge, A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: As another year has passed for The Kansas Masonic Home, 1981 looks to be the beginning of a new era of building and rededication to the principles of Masonry and the extension of The Kansas Masonic Home tradition. As with the past two years, much change and development of our programs took place. With the addition of Music Therapy, a part-time Occupational Therapist, and more intensive speech and hearing pathology, we have enhanced our rehabilitation programs. In the educational area, we have kept our Nursing Aide Training program at a high level. Our agreements with Kansas Newman College and Wichita State Univeristy Nursing programs are providing geriatric training for student nurses, in a clinical setting at The Home. The advent of the White House Conference on Aging and the program "Yesterdays, Todays and Tomorrows" in conjunction with Wichita State University, will involve our residents in lively and intellectually stimulating discussions. As 1981 unfolds, I again have high expectations for our continued success and excellence in geriatric care. Detailed in this report are the major events and operations of The Kansas Masonic Home in 1980.

Currently, our boiler system is under repair to provide a steam reducing system and thermostatic control system to better utilize our steam. This repair is being completed at a cost of $97,000. Health Care Center After a fine state Medicaid and Medicare survey in September we received our license as usual. This past survey was the best one I have ever been involved in. Mrs. Wilson and her Nursing Staff, Mrs. Payne and Dietary, as well as all the rest of our staff, should be commended. In September, Mrs. Marlene Millhauser was hired to become Director of Housekeeping and Laundry. She is doing a fine job and has been readily accepted by all the Home family. As our new Health Care Center is complete, we are awaiting State Certification at the time of this writing. The problems with our bathroom situation has been resolved and I trust our license will be forthcoming. As we dedicated our new Health Care Center in October 1980, a new era was born. It is my hope that The Kansas Masonic Home will continue to renovate and rebuild to keep pace with the times and especially to provide better service to the citizens of our state and to the Brothers and Sisters of our Order. Industrial Revenue Bonds In conjunction with our new Health Care Center, the Kansas Masonic Home Board voted to finance the new center with Industrial Revenue Bonds. It was unfortunate that all the funds could not be raised, but the Industrial Revenue Bond offers a much lower interest rate than conventional financing. These bonds were closed on January 14, 19 81. Minimum Wage On January 1, 1981, the minimum wage rose from $3.10 to $3.35. While this did not affect all our employees it still had the effect of adding over $1.00 per patient day to our expenses. The State of Kansas on the other hand only approved $ .84 for nursing homes as extra reimbursement to offset the increase. West Side Residential Mrs. Evelyn Layman was promoted to Adult Aupervisor in our West Side office in September. She is doing a fine job and is well liked by everyone. Our Health screening and medication program is in the process of being terminated. The job we set out to do is done and the resident unhappiness about the program made me begin to scale it down.

Mrs. Esther Schmidt RN is taking over duties as the visiting"Nurse Coordinator to help with medications and evaluate residents' health problems. Job's Daughter Project Under the auspices of Mrs. Helen Bortz (Past Grand Guardian), the Job's Daughters donated 55,000 to have the West Side living room furniture recovered. The new look is beautiful and spices up our west lobby. Order of The Eastern Star Project The Worthy Grand Matron, Louetta Secrest, selected for her project plastic window coverings for our Chapel. She sent us a check for $7,000 and the work has begun. The Home Family thanks her for kind things she has done for The Kansas Masonic Home during her year. Civil Rights We have just passed our one year probation with The Kansas City Regional Office for Civil Rights. I have sent them all the compliance reports and await their word as to our standing. Hopefully, the officials will be satisfied and we will be removed from probation. The Kansas Masonic Home had to file an Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action plan with the City of Wichita as one of the requirements for the Industrial Revenue Bond issue. This plan was accepted and has caused no problems for the Home. Auction An auction was held in the summer of 1980. donations netted the Home almost 515,000.

Sales in the form of

DEMOLAY The Wichita Chapter of Kansas DeMolay made a 575 contribution to our Health Care Center 4 x 4 fund this year. The boys also have volunteered a few Saturdays to work at the Home for a service project. I thank these fine young men for their support. AMARANTH This years session of the Grand Court of Amaranth was especially nice for the Home. The fine people of the Order donated a Geri-chair for our Health Care Center people to use. We thank them very much. Masonic Homes Executive Association The 1980 Conference of The Masonic Homes Executive Association was held in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, sponsored by the Masonic Home and Charity Foundation of New Jersey. R:.W:. Ben B. Boyles, R:.W:. Jim Foster and myself attended this excellent program in June, 1980.

A debt of gratitude to The Kansas Masonic Home Lodge #450 and last year's Worshipful Master Harry Smith, for all the help and support through the year. The Lodge also graciously donated the money to paint

My appreciation to the Lodge and congratulations on

A hearty thank you also to District 38 and the Wichita Consistory for their help and support in raising funds for our dedication of the new Health Care Center. Without their help the days events would have been hard to accomplish. The year past, 1980, has been one of joy, frustration, accomplishment and future orientation. While we met many goals that were enumerated in last year's report; better communication, development of supervisors' skills, public relations and the completion of the new Health Care Center, some goals were not totally met. Harder work will be in store on budget and labor control. While the audited financials are not complete as of this report, through the end of October expenses in the Health Care Center were 94% of budget and 91% of budget for the West Side. The average of 11/12 of the year is 92%. While I feel we came close, we still were $72,337 expenses over revenues. During a year of high inflation, unpredictable rising costs, and economic uncertainty, I feel we did well in improving our high level of service, improving the education and skills of our Staff, while building a new Health Care Center as the culmination of all our projects. will strive harder to obtain the financial goals of our Home and to provide the same level of service we constantly deliver. In conclusion, I would like to thank M:-W:. W. Nolan Artz and M:.W:. F. Warren Starns for their guidance through 1980 as Grand Masters of Kansas and Presidents of the Home Board. I also would like to thank the rest of the Home Board for their cooperation and confidence through this last year. Together we have made great strides for Kansas Masonry and for our Kansas Masonic Home. Respectfully submitted, Jerry B. Lindenbaum, Administrator REPORT OF THE KANSAS MASONIC HOME SECRETARY-TREASURER M:.W:. Thomas C.

In the early days of the Foundation and at a time when there was much unrest on our campuses the Foundation supported two Lecture Tours of Kansas Colleges and Universities. One Lecturer was Dr. Walter Judd, the other our own Senator Frank Carlson. Both of these men did an outstanding job of pointing out what makes our country great and how the students as the youth of our country fit into the future. Upon the death of Francis Cornlck McGinness our present Scholarship Loan Fund was born. To date we have assisted some 28 students to secure their higher education. Even though the total funds allocated to our overall Scholarship Program is only $45,254.08 we are constantly rolling these loans over and making new loans. We. are proud to say that 13 loans have now been completely repaid and all students owing are repaying as agreed. This speaks well of the youth who have seen fit to seek out the Kansas Masonic Foundation for financial assistance. The use of the Foundation as a. means to memorialize our departed loved ones is ever Increasing. All monies received as memorials, unless otherwi'se designated, becomes a part of the Endowment Fund of the Foundation. Only the earnings therefrom are used to support our Programs, thus, this Memorial Program stands the test of time and has significant meaning to the families of our departed Brothers and family members. Not only is this Program being used by individuals but many of our Lodges are using this means to honor and memorialize their departed. September 21, 1974 gave birth to the Masonic Oncology (Cancer) Center within the University of Kansas Medical Center, in Kansas City, Kansas. This project was greatly assisted by funds received from the Dane G. Hansen Foundation. Dane was a fine Mason and civic leader of Logan, Kansas. From the Center's modest beginning with four (4) rooms in Sudler Hall it is now housed in the Bell Memorial Hospital and consists of 12 examining rooms', 2 chemotherapy rooms, a pharmacy equipped with a Laminar Flow Hood under which all chemotherapy treatments are prepared, a nurses station, conference room and spacious waiting area. This new concept of multi-disciplinary treatment and research has become a model for other areas of the hospital as well as other hospitals. Your Foundation has granted approximately one quarter of a million dollars to the Center so far and just this year Increased pur funding to $50,000.00 (this year) to expand this facility to youngsters with cancer. The Center is presently treating from four to five hundred patients per month, some one hundred of which are children. It would behoove each Mason in Kansas to take the time to go to Kansas City and view, first hand, this shining light' of Masonry. The Foundation has from time to time been called upon to raise funds for our Kansas Masonic Home and has done so. In fact all funds received by the Foundation on behalf of the Home are receipted and acknowledged to the donor and then transmitted to the Home. As you can see the Foundation has only, scratched the surface. The potential is unlimited, or rather, limited only by the amount of support the Masons of'Kansas will see fit to give.

We are very grateful to our brothers who have made these programs successful. However, when we look at the broad untapped resources of 70,341 Masons, while at the same time view the charitable needs about us, we are challenged to get these needs and these resources together, so that once again Masonry will be truly recognized for its charitable acts, not only to brother Masons, but to all humanity. To reach this goal will require our gifts, our energies, our encouragement and our perserverance. What can you and I do to kick the habit and banish forever those "pills" that have eroded Masonic charity? Encourage your lodge to develop a working Foundation Committee as set out in our By-Laws 3-317 and have as many of them as possible attend the Masonic Workshops to be held in the weeks ahead to get the training necessary to carry on an active program. Develop a plan of giving that will gain the support of most all of your lodge membership. Distribute information about our Foundation to the lawyers, bankers, tax consultants and Pastors who have the opportunity to assist people in their estate planning, so that the Kansas Masonic Foundation might serve them as a tool to provide Living Memorials while at the same time providing needed charity. The members of the Board of Trustees as well as the Directors and Executive Director of the Foundation stand ready to assist each Lodge and Foundation Committee with literature, information and programs. Please contact the Foundation office in Topeka for any assistance needed in setting up programs. Today when most all of us are concerned with the high cost of living, I hope that each of us will be equally concerned with the "high cost of loving". There is a very real demand on time and resources to meet the needs of charity. Should the 70,341 Masons of Kansas decide to unite together in caring concern for mankind, these needs can be met. The Kansas Masonic Foundation is your tool for reinstituting our charitable reputation and once again brotherly love will replace the "pill" as cure for the pressures of living and will lighten the burden of our own hearts as well as those of our "brothers" whether or not they are members of our fraternity. Sincerely and Fraternally submitted, William E. Bogue, Executive Director Richard D. Kelsey, Vice President

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN RELATIONS M: .W:. Forrest D. Haggard, P.G.M., Chairman, gave the following report which, on his motion, was accepted: To the M:.W:. Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: This committee wishes to -express its appreciation to our Grand Master for our appointment and for his confidence in us. We are grateful, also, for the Grand Lodge Staff for the time and work in correspondence and record checking done in our behalf. Especially to our Grand Secretary and to Brother Baird C. Strain for over and above service in correspondence and translations of letters and documents. We wish to thank the Brethren who have sought to extend and increase our Fraternal feelings with our Brethren of other Grand Jurisdictions. Especially do we appreciate those Grand Representatives who have corresponded or otherwise kept in touch with the Grand Jurisdictions whom they represent. Their recognition, by this Grand Lodge, will be recorded elsewhere in these proceedings. We call your attention to the report of the Correspondence Committee of this Grand Lodge and, on your behalf, express our approval of a job well done. There are hundreds of letters that flow between Grand Jurisdictions. Some items need to be called to our attention: Fraternal Relations and Regular Masonry and Regular Masons: It is important for you to know, when you travel, that the Lodge you might want to visit is "regular" or that the association that sends you material asking your help or affiliation is connected with regular Masonry. If in doubt, please check with our Grand Secretary. Harvey Newton Brown of El Paso, Texas, has again surfaced as a "regular" Mason but neither he nor any of the groups he sponsors are so recognized. Grand Lodge of Iran is out of communication and I asked our Grand Secretary not to send any of the usual greetings, fearing that such might endanger or put some of our brethren in jeopardy. All we can do is simply wait and watch. Communications from the Grand Lodge of Cuba are starting to flow more freely. The Commission on Information stated: "the Masons of Cuba have shown great courage and persistence under difficult circumstances." There were various requests for verification of membership. If any Brother from a foreign jurisdiction, applies for membership you need to contact our Grand Lodge Office for help and assistance. Remember each secretary is furnished with a full list of regular Masonic Lodges in the World. There are some important "happenings" with the Craft that should be reported: We are pleased to note the report that the problems between the Grand Lodges of New Jersey, New York and Mississippi have been amicably resolved.

We are pleased to report the Council of Administration of our own Grand Lodge of Kansas did, on June 11, 1980, vote to be a participant in the Commission on Information for Recognition of the Conference of the Grand Masters of Masons in North America. We are pleased to report that our Grand Lodge was cordially invited to attend "The First Communication of the M:.W:. Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Alaska which was held in Anchorage, February 7, 1981. The New Grand Lodge will be formed by several Symbolic Lodges located in Alaska which are presently chartered by the M:.W:. Grand Lodge F. & A.M. of Washington." Report on items that may require action by this Grand Lodge: GRAND LODGE REGULAR OF BELGIUM As you recall we withdrew recognition from the Grand Lodge of Belgium at our last annual communication. This action is widely supported. It is now time to recognize the new Grand Lodge that has formed in Belgium. It is regular in all its actions and precepts and deserves the mark of recognition. They have applied for official recognition and have assured us (and we have been well assured by others) that: a. A belief in the Supreme Being is a strict condition for membership b. Intervisiting, official or private, with irregular Masonic Bodies is both prohibited and non existent. Many other Grand Jurisdictions and the Commission for Recognition recommend that the Grand Lodge Regular of Belgium be extended official recognition. BAJA CALIFORNIA SUR in Mexico This new Grand Lodge was constituted by the Grand Lodge Del Paclfico of the State of Sonora Mexico on February 24, 19 78. Our Grand Lodge recognizes the Grand Lodge Del Pacifico. The newly formed Grand Lodge is considered regular by the Commission on Information and Recognition and is already recognized by several of the Grand Lodges in North America as well as the State Grand Lodges in Mexico and elsewhere. The formation of this new Grand Lodge came about as a natural action based upon the fact that the State of Baja California in Mexico was divided into two political states, one in the North and one in the South, and thus the formation of the new Grand Lodge "South". In conclusion, we move the adoption of the following three items: 1.

That this Grand Lodge grant fraternal recognition to the Grand Lodge Regular of Belgium.

That this Grand Lodge grant fraternal recognition to the Grand Lodge Baja California Sur in Mexico.

That this Grand Lodge grant recognition to the newly formed Grand Lodge Free and Accepted Masons of Alaska along with our sincere fraternal greetings and best wishes in their Masonic endeavors.

Each of these motions received unanimous approval.

Proceedings of the

March

It should be noted that the newly formed Grand Lodge of Free and Accpeted Masons of Alaska received full approval at the February 17, 1981 meeting of the Commission on Information for Recognition and we are glad to be able to be among the first to grant recognition to our sister, Grand Lodge of Alaska. This committee expresses appreciation to the Craft for their attention and fraternal awareness and wishes to remind all of the universal qualities of Freemasonry. Fraternally submitted, Robert H. Arnold, P.G.M. Lloyd Crall Forrest D. Haggard, P.G.M., Chrran. REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON TEMPLE BUILDING AND REMODELING M:.W:. Chester L.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON OPERATION "KAN" W:. Glenn L. Knapp, Chairman, presented the following report which, on his motion, was adopted: To The M:.W:. Grand Lodge of A.F. S A.M. of Kansas: The Operation "Kan" Committee is deeply grateful to the Grand Lodge of Kansas for having the privilege of serving on this committee. I'm sure that each and everyone of you here present today knows the satisfaction you get when you visit someone in the hospital. To paraphrase an old cliche, as you leave the hospital, you say, "i"m sure glad I went to see Joe Doaks". Again, this year, as in the past, many calls in the hospital as well as in the homes of "amputees" were made. When you visit and speak with an amputee, let him know that you've gone through a similar experience. There is an automatic bond that permeates the air. You assure the "amputee" that this isn't the end of his life, but that it is a new road that has to be traveled. Just another little test the Supreme Architect gave us to see how we would react. Probably the most important thing an amputee has to learn is patience. Healing of wounds takes time. While lying in a hospital bed, time passes very, very slowly. It's easy to wonder why this had to happen to me, you know ... feeling sorry for yourself. So, you can readily see why patience is needed very soon as well as someone who has an understanding ear. In the case of an amputee who has lost a leg, the uppermost question in his mind is, "How soon will I be able to walk". You could say, "That's the S64 question", but it is one that is not difficult to answer. Some people put on a "prosthesis" for the first time and walk away as if they had been doing it for years. Others need the help of crutches or walkers, and it takes them a long time to get the feel of balance. So you tell the amputee, it depends on how "agile" or "athletically" inclined he was before he lost his leg. The more agility, the sooner he will be able to walk. Since in my case a leg was lost, it is rather easy for me to tell an "amputee" who lost a leg that he is more fortunate because he still has the use of his hands and arms.

142

Proceedings of the

March

An "amputee" has all sorts of questions going through his mind, so to put him at ease you tell him the process of getting an artificial prosthesis. They place you on a table, measure your leg in several places, transfer these measurements on a life-size drawing of a leg, and then begin to make you one. There is more detail to it than this, but basically that is the procedure. The reason for all the measurements is that they want to make your artificial limb the same size. This way your pants, shoes, etc. will not have to be made special. They will also tell you to bring along one of your shoes (depending on which one they need) , so the foot they make will fit okay. You inform him that there will be 2 - 3 fittings involved before actually getting the finished product. Finally, the day arrives and you get your leg (prosthesis). Now you inform him that he must be very careful and not try to over-do it ... walk too much. Although his stump (the end of his leg) is healed, it is still very tender and he will experience many blisters. This can and will be a painful time. He will make several trips back to the people who made his artificial limb, have it worked on to relieve the pressure so no more blisters will occur. Since most blisters will occur during the first few weeks, the amputee must always carry his crutches or walker wherever he goes. He might be several blocks from home when a blister occurs. Walking on a sore leg can be a very trying time, so when the crutches are with you, it eases the discomfort. What is a blister? Can you remember when you were a child, got a new pair of shoes and wore a blister on the back of your foot? This is similar to a blister on your stump and it is extremely painful. Another small problem is since the foot part is bolted to the leg or ankle, there is a rocker motion involved while walking on flat ground. The amputee will have no trouble but when walking up an incline or ramp, some difficulty will be encountered. This is due to the incline or ramp will tend to push you back because the rocker motion can only go a portion of the distance used on flat or level ground. Walking through a plowed field is an experience you'll go through only once. From then on, you will walk around it. As to being able to run, well my answer is, "Frankly, 1 don't know if I can or not, so far I haven't been scared enough yet to know". r.jg'Trg ver" brief 1^' scratched the surface of the inan^' man^' "Questions asked, but we sincerely hope this will give you some idea of what is involved. In closing let us say, when you visit an amputee, answer some of his questions. The gratitude, pleasure and appreciation shown by these people knowing that someone cares about their present and future well-being makes Operation "Kan" a most pleasant endeavor. Most Worshipful Grand Master, we not only thank you for this wonderful opportunity of having served you during your tenure in office, but we move the adoption of this report. Fraternally submitted.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON GRAND LODGE ACTIVITIES M:.W:. Chester L. Gilbert, P.G.M., Chairman, presented the following report which, on his motion, was adopted: To the M:.W:. Grand Lodge of A.F. S A.M. of Kansas: The Grand Lodge Activities for the year 1980-1981 reports of the Masonic weekend, August 30 through September 1, at Rock Springs Ranch near Junction City, Kansas. From the registration on Saturday morning until the noon lunch on Monday, the time was filled with many activities, good fellowship and, for some, just enjoying the peace of the lovely facilities. The Grand Master, Warren Starns, and First Lady, Lois, attended as well as other Grand Lodge Officers, and helped to make this Third Annual Masonic Retreat a success. Each year many of those who have attended before return and others attending for the first time find this a perfect vacation spot in Kansas and an ideal way to have fellowship with Brother Masons, their families and friends. This Committee will again sponsor the Masonic Retreat September 5 through September 7, 1981. We hope each of you will join us in the many activities offered for every age group. We urge you to read the Kansas Mason for further details concerning this retreat. This Committee has enjoyed serving the Grand Master and the Grand Lodge. Fraternally submitted. Chester L. Gilbert, PGM, Chairman Harold F. Sievers Clifford L. Trax David E. Casey REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC SCHOOLS W:. John A. Schowalter, Chairman, submitted the following report which, on his motion, was adopted: To the M:.W:. Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: The Committee on Public Schools was created by this Grand Lodge to develop programs to support and strengthen the American public school system. This is described in Section 2-124C of the Grand Lodge By-Laws. This committee sponsors two programs which support the public schools; a statewide Scholarship Essay Contest for seniors in the public high schools of Kansas and the promotion of American Heritageâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Public Schools Month. Your committee has endeavored to continue and improve on these programs. ESSAY CONTEST This year's Essay Contest topic was, "Prayer In The Public Schools".

PUBLIC SCHOOLS MONTH

On January 30, 1981, the Honorable John Carlin, Governor of Kansas, signed a proclamation declaring that the month of February is to be observed as American H e r i t a g e — P u b l i c Schools Month. The Worshipful Masters of all Lodges were requested to hold special programs during February in celebration of American H e r i t a g e — P u b l i c Schools Month. SPECIAL PROJECT Illustrious Henry C. Clausen, 33°, Sovereign Grand Commander of the Scottish Rite, has authored a very fine little book called "Why Public Schools". We hope to encourage every Lodge in Kansas to purchase this book and present one to their local public library and school libraries. These would also make nice presentations to Lodge members, teachers, school administrators, school board members, or anyone else that you want to honor. We now have a good supply of these books on hand and they may b e ordered through the Grand Secretary's office at $5 each postpaid.

Grand Lodge of Kansas

145

To kick off this project, this committee presented a copy of "Why Public Schools" to the Honorable John Carlin on the occasion of the signing of the American Heritage--Public Schools Month proclamation. RECOMMENDATIONS We recommend that the Grand Lodge continue its sponsorship and increase its support and promotion of the Essay Contest and American Heritageâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Public Schools Month through this committee. We recommend that a fifth place scholarship award be added to the Essay Contest. We recommend that the book "Why Public Schools" be kept in stock by the Grand Secretary's Office so that it will be available on a permanent basis. CONCLUSION We want to thank our Grand Master, M:.W:. F. Warren Starns, for giving us this opportunity to serve the Craft, and for his continued support and wise council during this past year. To M:.W:. William F. Mcintosh, our thanks for his support through the pages of the Kansas Mason. Our thanks also go to Brothers Albert O. Arnold, Jr., and David L. Recob and all the Grand Secretary's staff for their assistance through-out the year. Last, but certainly not least, we want to thank our Essay Contest Judges for their valuable service. Finally, Brethren, we hope that you will make good use of the book "Why Public Schools". It is concise and easy to read and does an excellent job of telling the story that this committee has been trying to get across since its inception. That is, the story of the American system of public education and the contributions it has made to the freedom and prosperity that we, the American people, enjoy today. W:. Schowalter then distributed Certificates to the winners in the Essay Contest (these were presented to representatives of the winners). He also announced that the subject for the 1981 Essay Contest would be "Public Education vs. Private Education". Fraternally submitted. John A. Schowalter, Chairman Jimmy D. King James R.

Boyles, Deputy Grand Master, to preside until the Grand Lodge would be recessed for lunch. REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON CHURCH-LODGE RELATIONS W:. James Wm. Robbins, Chairman,, presented the following report which, on his motion, was adopted:

146

Proceedings of the

March

To the M:.W:. Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: Your Committee on Church-Lodge Relations wishes to thank our Grand Master for the privilege of serving Kansas Masonry in this capacity. We wish to call attention again to the unique role of the Lodge Chaplains in providing a link between the religious agencies of the community and the Lodge. It is the duty of all Masons, but more particularly the Lodge Chaplain, to see that all brethren of all religious denominations and convictions are comfortable in the fellowship of the Lodge. It is the glory of the Masonic Institution that within its bodies brothers of every country, sect and opinion can enjoy true friendship. For this reason every effort should be made to see that the Lodge respects the religious convictions of all its members and of all visitors who are regular Masons. Every attempt to make the Lodge partisan to any one religious viewpoint should be resisted so that no Mason will feel excluded. The Lodge Chaplain should also assist the Master on those occasions when a Mason dies and the Lodge participates in any fashion in the funeral services, even if the only participation is the expression of sorrow and condolence to the family that has suffered the loss. When more active participation in the funeral services is desired, the Lodge Chaplain can be a valuable link to the members of the clergy who are involved. In this connection the continued use of the pamphlet "An Open Letter Concerning Masonic Funerals" is urged. Every Mason and every Kansas Lodge is also urged to make the most of our heritage of mutual respect for the religious convictions of our communities, and to the performance of every act of kindness and consideration which collectively nurish the atmosphere of brotherly love which is the valued base of our fellowship. Respectfully and Fraternally submitted, James Wm. Robbins, Chairman

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON TOTAL YOUTH W:. Benford E. Smith, Chairman, gave the following report which, on his motion, was approved. To the M:.W:. Grand Lodge of A.F. S A.M. of Kansas: Being fully aware of your interest in our youth, we come before you with a proposal. We have asked the Job.'s Daughters, The Order of Rainbow For Girls and the Order of DeMolay's each to favor us with a special program of some kind. We know you would agree that we would like to show all the Masons in Kansas that our young people are the very best and that they are capable of entertaining any education programs. Our Grand Master, F. Warren Starns, and the Total Youth Committee have wholeheartedly endorsed this program.

As you know, many programs and activities are scheduled and we all look forward to the meeting with unending enthusiasm. As we have witnessed these young people perform it is with hope that this will live forever in the minds of those in attendance. We know that you believe that these young people are the future of Masonry and its affiliated organizations. We believe those future leaders must be involved and active and be given a chance to share their talents and expertise. The monetary contributions these young people have received from the Grand Lodge is very much appreciated and it is the hope of the Total Youth Committee that this will continue with the consideration of an increase when and if it is possible. Fraternally submitted, Benford E. Smith, Chairman Arthur A. Hartshorn John E. Cunningham LABOR TO REFRESHMENT At 11:35 A.M., the Grand Lodge was called from Labor to Refreshment until 1:30 P.M.

ANNUAL AWARDS LUNCHEON At 12:00 Noon, the 1981 Awards Luncheon was held. R:.W:. Ben B. Boyles recognized groups for outstanding work during 1980. A luncheon was served in the Salina Temple to more than 600 Masons. Afterwards the R: .VJ: . Ben B.

GRAND ORGANIST RECOGNIZED M:.W:. F. Warren Starns called attention to the beautiful and appropriate music being played by Grand Organist, Brother Robert L. Foley, and led the assembled Brethren in a round of applause. ELECTION The Grand Master announced that time for the election of Grand Officers for the ensuing year had arrived, and that the Area Coordinators would act as Tellers. He instructed them to distribute the ballots and then, when the balloting was completed, directed them to collect the ballots and to retire from the Grand Lodge Room and prepare a report of the election results.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON CHARTERED LODGES AND LODGES U.D. W:. O. D. Mack, Chairman, gave the following report which, on his motion, was accepted: To the M:.W:. Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: Quenemo Lodge No. 270, Quenemo, Kansas, consolidated with McKinley Lodge No. 41 at Pomona, Kansas, effective December 22, 1980. Several Lodges are engaged in discussions with other Lodges in their areas relative to possible consolidations. Inflation, the high costs of building maintenance, and declining membership in communities affected, has caused many little country Lodges to take a hard look at their futures. Perhaps, if Lodges facing such a decision in the future polled their resident membership with the consequences, both pro and con, of the effects of consolidation, maybe a new interest could be rekindled in those affected Lodges and they once again could become active in the work, and an asset to the community in which they serve. In impressive ceremonies at the Grand Lodge Building in Topeka, on Saturday, 18 October 1980, the Grand Master presented letters of dispensation to M:.W:. Ben W. Graybill, Past Grand Master, to form the Kansas Lodge of Research U/D, and named Graybill as the Worshipful Master, and named M:.W:. Richard D. Kelsey, PGM, as Senior Warden and M:.Kenneth V. Moses as Junior Warden. The eventual structure of that body will be discussed at this annual communication. We thank the M:.W:. Grand Master for our appointment and have enjoyed the kind courtesies extended us by our constituents. Fraternally submitted. O. D. Mack, Chairman Jack McDaniel, Member Warren Stover, Member

MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION OF THE UNITED STATES ANNUAL REPORT 1980 Alvin K. Banman, Field Agent at the Leavenworth V. A. Medical Center, presented the following report on his activities during the past year. On his motion, the report was accepted. To the M:.W:. Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: This is not exactly a report of my work as Masonic Services Association (M.S.A.) Field Agent at the V.A. Medical^Center, Leavenworth, Kansas, but some observations as a Brother Mason and Hospital Visitor.

\ As Master Masons we are challenged in many ways. Amongst the challenges from the M.S.A., a number one challenge is hospital visitation. This is the subject of my report. However, I wish to digress for a moment and speak of other challenges to Master Masons. The most recent to Kansas Masons is the Lodge of Research Under Dispensation. Another is the 1981 Masonic Workshops. It-is my hope that there will be a wholehearted response to both of these by Kansas Masons. According to the announcement in the Kansas Mason of February 1981, these workshops are designed to "set the Craft to work and give them peoper instruction". In this connection, I should like to add this quote: "To pay the Craft their wages. If ought be due. And see none go away dissatisfied." The wages I have been expecting is Masonic education. . ., As to the Kansas Lodge of Research, may I call your attention to the fact that the M.S.A. is a tremendous source of Masonic information. I am. sure most all of you are acquainted with the "Short-Talks" leaflet. The most recent publication I have received from the M.S.A', is entitled "The Lodge at Fredericksburg - A Digest of Early Records". A topic that would interest me in Masonic research is "Slogans of Kansas Grand Masters". For starters, may I mention these: "Come Alive In '75" - M:.W:. Robert H. Arnold, PGM "Masonry To Love Or Perish" - M:.W:. W. Nolan Artz, PGM "Making Masons Not Just Members" - M:.W:. F. Warren Starrs,- GM If you want to be stirred by the challenges of Free Masonry, read the February, 1981, issue of The Kansas Mason. The stories and reports in this issue of The Kansas Mason really should make you proud that you are a Mason. In a recent publication received from the M.S.A., the age range for Field Agents was given as- 17 to 72. It is my intension to inquire as to how hard and fast this rule is followed since I have past the upper age limit by ten years. Probably I should not be concerned too much because the doctor, the other day, said to me, "You appear to be More like 62". Also, the Good Book, Ps. 90, Verse 10, touches on this matter. Here we read: "Seventy years is the span of our life. Eighty if our strength holds". One might take the position of the little old black, blind lady when testifying before the commission which was faced with the issue of giving the Kansas City Power and Light a rate increase. She said, "You all must remember that if you live right, you will be old too some day and may have trouble paying your light bills".

Old or young, if we can listen to the burdens of another, help him to see the bright side of life, say a few words of encouragement, remind him of the teachings of Masonry; age may not matter. Many patients who are not Masons have said, "My father was a Mason, my uncle was a Mason, my brother was a Mason - and I wish I had joined, but now I am too old". There are those who are not in good standing in the Fraternity, but who we have assisted- not financially - in restoring to membership. These patients have expressed happiness to be back in the Fraternity. Your Grand Lodge has assisted us, financially, in the program at the Leavenworth V.A. Medical Center. We operated a watermellon booth in carnivals for patients in the hospital and the psychiatric unit. At Christmas time we distributed canteen booklets to Masons. On one occasion a patient said, "Give this to a patient who needs it more than I do". To this I replied, "You may enjoy passing it on." Thus I could go on relating human interest experiences, but I should like to conclude by presenting our Grand Master, M:.W:. F. Warren Starns, with a Leaf of Pictures for his memory book. M:.W:. Sir: This is a small token of our appreciation of your visit to the V.A. Center at Leavenworth. Respectfully and Fraternally submitted, Alvin K. Banman, Field Agent â&#x20AC;˘ Leavenworth V.A. Medical Center Harley Henry, Sr., Field Agent at the Winter V. A. Medical Center at Topeka, was unable to be present, but had submitted the following report for printing in the Advance Reports: To the M:.W:. Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: The Masonic Service Association of the United States, working with patients at the Veterans Administration Medical Center, Topeka, Kansas, is pleased to make this report for the year, Oct. 1979 to Oct. 1981. We visited 244 Masonic Brethren, 213 of whom were discharged, 11 died, 20 are still in the medical center; 219 were from Kansas and, of these, 85 were from Topeka Masonic Lodges and 25 were from other states. We participated in all activities of the medical center, including two Monte Carlo nights for the open wards and two carnivals for the closed wards. We furnished prizes and gifts for all events July 23 we served a checken dinner with all the trimmings to 105 patients in Bldg. 9. The Square and Compass Club furnishes cookies and coffee once a month for patients in Bldg. 3. Sept. 21, Masonic District of Kansas under the leadership of R:.W:. Arthur E. Clausen, District Deputy Grand Master, sponsored a fabulous watermelon feed at the Topeka V.A. Medical Center. The Shrine Keystone Cops and Clowns and the Shrine Band provided entertainment which was greatly enjoyed by the patients. September 15, F. Warren Starns, Grand Master, made his official visit to the V.A. Medical Center. With him were 30 Brother Masons from the 21st District.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON MASONIC EDUCATION W:. Claude W. Norris, Chairman, gave the following report which, on his motion, was received: To the M:.W:. Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: During the 1980-1981 period the Masonic Education held 19 meetings to spread Masonic Light to the Craft. The week following Grand Lodge was the beginning of a full year for our committee. There were twelve Area Meetings over four weekends. The meetings were successful and topics presented were as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

The Masonic Home. The Masonic Foundation. Importance of Ritual. Unity with Appendant Bodies. Dignity and Respect of Lodge Masters.

It was the Committee's decision to have representatives from the Masonic Home and the Masonic Foundation present talks on their own areas of endeavor. This gave the assembled Craft opportunities to ask direct questions and to.receive direct answers and not have to wait for someone to check with the offices of the Home and Foundation. This turned out to be a very successful segment of our sessions. One disappointing aspect of the Area Meetings was the large number of Lodges who were not represented at the Area Meeting. It is our ernest hope to see this number of absentees reduced in future years. This was not a problem relating to any given section of the State. One possibility was that the Area Meetings began the weekend after Grand Lodge. This resulted in a certain amount of confusion in scheduling the meetings and in whose responsibility it was to set up the meetings. We recommend that consideration be given to delaying the start of the Area Meetings until a later date, possibly in April or May. Three members of the Committee along with a Past Grand Master, represented the Grand Lodge of Kansas in the Midwestern Conference on Masonic Education in Minneapolis, MN on May 1, 2 & 3. We shareu our knowledge and experiences with successful Masonic programs with 14 Grand Lodge representatives from the United States and Canada. It was a very rewarding experience and one that will not easily drop from memory. The Midwestern Conference on Masonic Education will be held in Cedar Rapids, Iowa in May of 1981, and as part of their long range planning program they have been invited to hold their 1982 meeting in Kansas. The place will be determined at the 1981 meeting. The busy fall schedule included six Wardens Meetings which were spread geographically across the State of Kansas. This was done in response to the Energy Crisis and to shorten traveling distances for the Wardens and other attending the meetings. Emphasis was given to include the Senior Deacons and to impress upon them that in order to have a successful year the planning starts years before they arrive in the East as Master of their Lodge. To assist the Wardens and Deacons in getting used to planning their year they were presented with a pocket calendar with inserts for both 1980 and 1981. The Coirmiittee would like to see this small token be continued. Topics discussed during the Wardens Meetings covered the Duties of Three Principal Officers of the Lodge, Cooperation Among Officers and with the Craft, Importance of Lodge Corranittees, Lodge Calendar of Events, and concluded with pertinent remarks by the Deputy Grand Master and the Grand Master.

The final training session of our Committee was the very important Indocrination Meeting with the Incoming Area Coordinators and District Deputy Grand Masters for the 1981-1982 year. The meeting was held in the Masonic Home in Wichita. Emphasis of this meeting was directed on the required committees and their importance to the Lodge in making the coming year a success for Masonry in Kansas. Once again the Committee has called upon the Past Grand Masters for assistance with our various training sessions and have found them willing to help share Light in Masonry. We appreciate this assistance and have found them to be a very valuable asset to Kansas Masonry. We wish to express our gratitude for being able to do our part in extending the shining Light in Masonry to the Craft, with the confidence that we have worked to the best of our abilities and availability of time from our usual occupation. It is our ernest wish that the future Council of Administration will give future Masonic Education Committees the cooperation that we have received this past year. For the Committee it has been a year of satisfaction. Fraternally submitted. Glenn E. Blackburn Ben B. Boyles, DGM John Heckert J. Clyde Bradbury Claude W. Norris, Chmn. REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON RITUALISTIC WORK M:.W:. J. Fred Williamson, P.G.M., Chairman, presented the following report which, on his motion, was adopted: To the M:.W:. Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: A meeting of the Ritualistic Committee was held in Salina Lodge No. 60, on August 6 and 7, 1980. A program for the District meetings was formulated and a school of instruction was held for the Lecturers. The day was spent in promoting uniformity of the Ritual and Floor Movements throughout this Grand Jurisdiction. The district meetings were held this year in each district. Some of the meetings had to be rescheduled because of bad weather and illness. The Lecturers and the District Deputies are to be complimented for a fine job. Attendance was very good in some districts and poor in others. Leadership in the Lodge and Districts are reflected in the attendance figures. This Committee is very concerned about proficiency in this Grand Jurisdiction. In the coming year greater effort is going to be necessary if we are to turn this situation around. This Committee was saddened by the loss of W. W. Coleman this past year. He was a dedicated ritualist and a very valuable member of this committee. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him. As this report was going to press, we were again saddened to learn of the passing of L. Glen Jenkins, Lecturer Emeritus who died February 14, 1981, at Reserve, Kansas. His loss will be felt in that area very much. The staff of Lecturers cannot be too highly praised for the fine job that they do for Masonry in this state. We all owe them a debt of gratitude.

(1) This case was held over from the previous committee and was dismissed by action of the Lodge and approved by our Grand Master. (2) The charge against the brother was obtaining money under false pretences and defrauding his Lodge. The accused did not answer the summons to appear and/or plead, so plea of not guilty was entered and notice of trial was sent to him. Trial was had before two members of the committee and the committee, after reviewing the transcript, found the accused guilty and assessed the penalty at expulsion. (3) The charge against the brother was making a false statement in petition for membership as applicant had been convicted of a felony and did not show this on petition. The accused entered a plea of guilty and, because of said plea, no trial was necessary before the committee. The committee, after reviewing the file, found the accused guilty and assessed the penalty at expulsion. (4) The charge against the brother was making a false statement in petition for membership as applicant had been convicted of a felony and did not so indicate. The accused entered a plea of guilty and, because of said plea, no trial was necessary before the committee. The committee, after reviewing the file, found the accused guilty and assessed the penalty at expulsion. (5) The charge against the brother was having been convicted of a felony and approving withholding unfavorable information in petition for membership by one who he had recommended. The accused entered a plea of not guilty and, because he presently resides out of the state of Kansas, trial has been set for March 21, 1981, after this session of Grand Lodge, and this will be referred to the next Trials and Punishment Committee for such trial 'and disposition as may be determined by that committee. Your committee has been happy to serve the Grand Lodge during the past year and pray that the brothers shall so demean themselves that the next committee will have little to do. Respectfully

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON GRAND LODGE LIBRARY M:.W:. Ben W. Graybill, P.G.M., Chairman, presented the following report which, on his motion, was accepted: To the M:.W:. Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: Soon after our last annual communication, your committee met with the Grand Secretary and Grand Senior Warden to discuss the proper approach to accomplish the objective deliniated by our Grand Master. While we were in the building, your chairman made a superficial survey of the contents of the library. It had been reported by a similar committee in 1977 that all books and artifacts in the library had been invertoried and inspected and that "the old code system which for so long confused researchers" had been broken and that a book or particular row of books could now be located. To test the system now in use, a reference card was selected at random from the file in use. It was coded in such a manner that the book should have been easily located. The book, to our knowledge, has not been found to this date. While we were searching for this item, a Past Master of a local Lodae and Secretary of one of the appendant bodies, visited the library and asked for assistance in finding a volume which would give him pertinent information concerning a research project he was making. No one in the building was able to locate it. This researcher stated that his information was obtained from one who claimed to have previously found and used the book and felt sure it was in the library. This indicated to us that the probable failure to act on the previous committee's recommendations had resulted in destroying the progress they had reported. With this in mind, we received approval from our Grand Master to communicate with one of the world's foremost Masonic Librarians, R:. W:. Keith Arrington, who had recently retired from his position in the Library of the Grand Lodge of Iowa, which has over 100,000 volumes available to Iowa Masons. During our visit with him in Cedar Rapids, we spent two days observing the operation. In view of our close relationship in Masonic Education for over 25 years, no doubt influenced by our mutually treasured personal friendship. Brother Arrington volunteered to ccmc to Tcpeka, make a survey of our Library, and give us a professional report and recommendations as to procedures specifically designed to meet our needs. In June, Brother Arrington and his wife, Lucille, spent several days in Topeka, but the 110 degree temperature forced them to defer further work until weather moderated. They returned on October 20th and remained until he had obtained sufficient information to give us a comprehensive report and recommendations. He made three copies of the report. One has been given to M:. W:. Warren Starns, one retained by the Chairman of this Committee, and the other one given to the Grand Secretary. They declined all monetary compensation which would have been a considerable sum if we had employed equally qualified experts. Our Grand Master has invited them to be his guests at our 125th Annual Communication at which time we hope to display our sincere appreciation and gratitude for their contribution. Our Grand Master had ordered that the Library should be activated and utilized. Having set in motion the mechanics of inventory,cataloguing by Titles, Authors and Subjects so that researchers, students, scholars and other interested Masons would have access to the material, it was

now necessary to devise a means of creating interest in the utilization of the facilities. We concluded that this could be generated by organizing a Lodge of Research. M:. W:. F. Warren Starns concurred and announced that he would grant Letters of Dispensation to the Kansas Lodge of Research, U.D. in the Lodge Hall of the Grand Lodge Building in Topeka on October 18, 1980. He named Ben W. Graybill, PGM, to be Worshipful Master; Richard D. Kelsey, PGM, Senior Warden, and Kenneth V. Moses, PM, Junior Warden. Other officers appointed by the Master were: William F. Mcintosh, PGM, Treas.; David L. Recob, Sec'y; Conrad F. Johnson, Chap.; Clifford D. Knauss, S.D.; Earl C. Hamlin, J.D.; Harold S. Roberts, S.S.; William J. Colnar, J.S.; Kermit L. Brandes, Tyler. Sixteen geographical divisions have been formed with a Deputy, Projects Director and Secretary appointed by the Master to supervise the activities in each division. At the time this report was written, there were 412 who had signified their desire to be Charter Members and Active Participants. The program can be a valuable adjunct to the overall Masonic Education program consisting of the Masonic Education Committees of the Grand Lodge and Constituent Lodges; the Committee on Publications through the Kansas Mason and this Research Group. This can only be successful to the degree of interest and cooperation received from the incoming Councils of Administration. We offer you these tools. We sincerely hope that it will be your desire to use them. Your committee feels that we have concluded the objectives assigned to us and recommend to the incoming Grand Master that supervision of the enactment of the recommendations of Keith Arrington be assigned to the Committee on Masonic Education working in conjunction with the Grand Secretary's office. Also, that the Research Lodge be made a part of the Masonic Education Committee program, possibly under the name of "The Kansas Research Society". Grand Lodge By-Law 2-124B certainly provides for this action. In conclusion, the Committee wishes to express our sincere appreciation to M:.W:. F. Warren Starns for the opportunity to serve on his team. We hold him in highest esteem for his ability, his integrity, gentle manner, courage to execute his convictions and sound judgement. If there was ever a time when Kansas Masonry needed a Warren Starns, it was this year! So Mote It Be! Ben W. Graybill, PGM, Chairman Lawrence D. Winegardner, GSD W. Phil Mccracken, PM, Ottawa 19 TELLERS' REPORT R:.W:. Mitchell C. Hensley, Chairman, with his committee, were admitted into the Grand Lodge Room and reported that the ballots had been counted, and that the following had been elected for the ensuing year: Ben B. Boyles Robert G. Jackson Richard A. Porter Lawrence D. Winegardner William E. Montgomery Albert O. Arnold, Jr.

LABOR TO REFRESHMENT The Grand Lodge was called from Labor to Refreshment at 3:15 P.M., March 13, 1981, until 8:30 A.M., March 14, 1981. YOUTH ORGANIZATIONS PRESENTATIONS Following the calling off of the Grand Lodge business session, the three youtli organizations which are sponsored and supported by the Masonic Lodges of Kansas - Job's Daughters, Order of Rainbow for Girls and Order of DeMolay For Boys - presented various parts of their ceremonies for the enlightenment and enjoyment of the Brethren. The presentations were made under the direction and guidance of the State Officers of the organizations, and were greatly enjoyed by all present. At the close of the ceremonies, a beautiful banner, bearing the Seal of the Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Kansas, was presented to the Grand Lodge. Many complimentary remarks were made concerning the work done by the youth organizations and the need for more support from the Lodges. ALL MASONIC BANQUET The 1981 All Masonic Banquet was held in the new Bicentennial Center with an ample meal and entertainment provided. M:.W:. Ralph D. Walker who appointed F. Warren Starns to the Grand Lodge Lineup introduced the Grand Officers and their ladies as they took their places at the banquet tables. M:.W:. F. Warren Starns awarded the Chester L. Gilbert Traveling Trophy to Harry Smith, Master of Masonic Home Lodge No. 450. This trophy is awarded to the outstanding lodge officer each year and who has served his Lodge with distinction. In accepting this award, W:. Henry Smith recognized PGM Thomas C. Raiim who initiated Brother Smith in Albert Pike Lodge No. 303 and installed him as Master of Masonic Home Lodge No. 450. The Distinguished Service Award was presented to Lloyd A. Crall of St. Bernard Lodge No. 222 of Dodge City. This award is presented yearly to a member of Kansas Masonry in recognition for outstanding service to God, Country and Mankind, and is not connected with Ritualistic proficiency in the Lodge. Brother Crall is an ideal selection for this award. With him to join in the honors was his wife. To cap off a fine evening of food and fellowship, the K-State Singers from Kansas State University, under the direction of Jerry Polish, joyfully entertained their audience with about one hour of varied singing and musical renditions. REFRESHMENT TO LABOR The Grand Lodge was called from Refreshment to Labor on the Third Degree at 8:30 A.M., Saturday, March 14, 1981, and the Business Sessions of the One Hundred and Twenty-fifth Annual Communication were resumed.

Secured service of office secretary of Scottish Rite for typing some reports, with duplicating service, and sale of book Why Public Schools? for Grand Lodge. In conclusion, the members endeavored to do anything requested or necessary to insure a successful session of the Grand Lodge of Kansas as they conceived this to be the duty of the Communication Committee. Fraternally submitted. Owen E. Hodgson, PGM, Chairman Leonard D. Acheson, Jr. Kevin R. Peterson William D. Ringquist REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON JURISPRUDENCE M:.W:. Arthur C. Hodgson, P.G.M., Chairman, after first introducing the other members of the Committee, presented the following report which was acted on by sections and then adopted as a whole as amended: To. the M:.W:. Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: INTRODUCTION An appointment to a Grand Lodge Committee is a position of honor as well as an admonition to serve the Grand Lodge in a manner that will be acceptable to the Grand Master and to the brothers of this Grand Jurisdiction. We have enjoyed our year of service. There have been no meetings of the committee this year except a meeting of the committee at this Grand Lodge to go over the report and refine it. The work of the committee has been carried on by correspondence. THE REPORT OF THE COUNCIL OF ADMINISTRATION The Council of Administration has considered many matters concerning Masonry in this Grand Jurisdiction. The report of the secretary is a highly summarized version of the actions of the Council of Administration. We recommend that the report be approved as reflecting the actions of the Council, and within the aiithoritv of the Council. SPECIAL DISPENSATIONS The Special Dispensations granted by our Grand Master indicate that they are within the powers and prerogatives of the Grand Master and, generally speaking, they are for routine purposes and we recommend that they be approved. RULINGS BY OUR GRAND MASTER We have reviewed the rulings by our Grand Master and believe them to be correct. We believe that the matters ruled on indicate the importance of lodges keeping in contact with the petitioner and with the brother after he has received the first degree. The petitioner or new brother cannot be expected to be conversant with the laws and procedures of Masonry and it is particularly important that the lodge keep close contact with the new member. We recommend the approval of the rulings made by our Grand Master. RECOMMENDATIONS OF OUR GRAND MASTER Recommendations One (1) and Two (2) require no comment from the Committee on Jurisprudence.

1980-81

Grand Lodge of Kansas

On Recommendation number Three (3) no change in the By-Law is set forth and we assume that our Grand Master wants to have the feeling of the Grand Lodge before proposing a new By-Law. We recommend approval of our Grand Master's recommendation number Three (3). Recommendation number Four (4) by our Grand Master is accompanied by a proposed change in the By-Law. We reconraiend that By-Law 4-214 be amended in compliance with the suggestion of our Grand Master. REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON CONSTITUTION AND BY-LAWS The Committee on "Constitution and By-Laws" submitted a report yesterday and moved to refer the report to the Committee on Jurisprudence. To the best of our knowledge the report has not had general circulation to the Craft and the Committee on Jurisprudence feels it would be wise to carry the report over until a year from now to permit general discussion and consideration. However, if it is desired that they be considered today, they may be taken up section by section. The above report was amended as follows on the floor of Grand Lodge: That the Constitution be amended by adding the new Article IX as recommended by the Committee on Constitution and By-Laws. The subject relating to "Kansas Lodge of Research." The motion to defer as amended was passed by the constitutional two-thirds majority of those present and voting. CONCLUSION As another Grand Lodge Communication nears its close, we wish to thank our Grand Master for the opportunity of serving Masonry in his year. We have found him to be hard working, courteous, diligent and geniuinely concerned for the Craft. Our Grand Master and his lady, Lois, have won the affection of all with whom they have come in contact. We thank our Grand Master for his year of service and welcome him back to the ranks of the everyday working Mason. Respectfully submitted. Arthur C. Hodgson, PGM, Chairman Robert D. Caplinger, PGM Addison C. Irby, PGM Gerald L. Anderson James L. Withers

REQUEST FOR SUPPORT M:.W:. Ralph D. Walker, P.G.M., requested permission to address the assembled Brethren. He told of the need for air conditioning in the Kansas Masonic Home and spoke of how uncomfortable it had been for the residents there during the past summer. He asked for the Brethren to support a project for installation of air conditioning in the Home. He then oved that the Grand Lodge take on, as a project, the air conditioning of the West Side of the Masonic Home and suggested that each Lodge in Kansas be responsible for $3.00 per member toward this project. The motion was seconded and during the discussion that followed, several sizeable pledges were made, including individual as well as Lodge pledges. M:.W:. Walker emphasized that this was not to be considered as an assessment, but a request that each of the constituent Lodges of Kansas commit themselves for this amount. By a show of hands, the motion was carried.

rai>OKr OF IHE CDM4ITTEE ON (X)RRESPONnElCE Tto the M:.W:. Grard Lodge, A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: It is a distinct honor to have the offortunity to present this, the present Correspondence Comiittee's fourth annual report. Many interesting activities were recorded in the 54 Annual Proceedings, ranging from 80 to 475 pages each, Âť4u.ch came to our attention. A few of these, may their nutiber increase, carried a sunniary page listing in plain English, all official actions taken that affected the oonstituent lodge. In too many, proposed changes in constitutions, codes, or by-laws were worded in such strictly fornal terminology, including every possible whereas, vrtierefore and therefore, followed by so mar^ lengthy discussions and proposed amendments that your huible conmittee was often left wondering just vrfiat h^ipened, if anything. The prcÂą>lems that have been cited each of the past three years, and vrfiich have existed much longer, are still with us. Too many matters lost from non-payment of dues, too many EA's, 20% or itore of them, failing to advance, and too few petitions being received - all resulting in a continued decline in ttettbership. Grand Masters Are Cbncemed This year a note of apprehension is noted in the addresses of many Grand Masters. Heretofore itost of them have been prone to see things through rose-colored glasses, content to stress the good things that were happening while hoping the others wotiLd in scne way right themselves. Said one near-nei^ibor Grand ^faster: "The state of the Craft and the lodges is not disturbing. It is fri^tening." Another states that while the reports he gets shew a sotmd picture, he believes otherwise. Another is convinced that we have looked at conditions through rose-colored glasses far too long. Sc3me HelpftiL Suggestions In the main, the same sound remedies are being urged: Mare family nights, ptÂą>lic installations, dinner-entertainnents for non-masons, greater participation in oommunity affairs, better trained officers vHno acknowledge that their duties and obligations extend far beyond just opening and closing lodge and conferring an occasional degree, and some educational feature at each stated iteeting. After all, what inducement is there to attend a iieeting just to hear the minutes read and to see the bills paid. In at least three Grard Jurisdictions irore drastic steps have been taken. In Massachusetts, at the discretion of tlie ^tester, a shorter form may be used for proving proficiency. In Illinois and, of course, in Kansas tests have been itQde on waiver of time and proficiency. In Illinois it was waiver of proficiency only for EA's of long standing. In all three cases there were, during that year, fewer matbership losses but still, losses. In Illinois the losses were cut by nearly 40%, or from 4,009 to 2,479. In our own State losses were cut by better than 55%, dawn from 1,684 to 762. In Massachusetts losses have decreased by nearly 10%. Many believe that those who beocme Masons by benefit of waivers will never be seen in lodge again, vAiich nay be tinje. However, on the average, 90% of the niattiers of a lodge never attend. Just maybe those favored by a waiver m i ^ t feel more obligated to attend. Which suggests another baffling question. If 90% of our menbers can't find time to attend lodge, can we expect the professional nan and the civic leader v*C8ti we'd like to have as members to, in some way, find time to do the memory work vie require and also find time to attend lodge?

Sane L i ^ t at the End of the Tunnel However, even if the over-all picture isn't as bright as we'd like it to be, neither is it quite as dark as it has been. Our report a year ago showed that two-thirds of the Jurisdictions had suffered greater losses than in the year previous. This year only half of the Jurisdictions showed an increase in losses; Or, looking at the bright side of the coin, 50% of them showed a decrease in losses; still losing, but at a reduced rate. Four of our Grand Jurisdictions continue to show gains in membership: Arizona, Florida, the Philippines and North Carolina. It is suspected that gains in at least two of these (all in warmer, retirement areas) are at the expense of their colder northern brethren. Concerning EA's who fail to advance, the same questions continue to be asked: Do we require too much memory work in this day and age of changing times? Are our investigating committees too lax? Is our first degree lantern lecture too long and just plain boring? Where Are All the Masons? Is the degree impressively conferred? Are they turned off by not seeing more of their neighbors (whom they know to be Masons) present to see them take that first step in masonry? Sometimes, even the men who signed his petition aren't there-. One young man, quite recently, on getting his first glimpse of all the empty seats in the lodge hall, blurted out, "Where are all the Masons?" Whatever the cause for this loss of 20% of our E A ' s , let's translate it into understandable figures. Based on information available in the Grand Lodge Reports reviewed for this report, no fewer than 60,000 candidates are initiated each year by lodges in the continental United States, one-fifth of whom - or 12,000 - will forever remain just one degree Masons, no asset to the local lodges nor to the Grand Lodge. Stated another way, over a five-year period, all the EA's in one year out of the five will fail to advance. These are younger men who said they wanted to be Masons and their investigating committees said they would have been desirable Master Masons. Obviously, if we could reduce this loss, even by half, it would be a big step forward. Fewer "One-Degree" Masons in Canada To get further information on some of the things already learned in visiting with Brethrsn from North of the Border, a short questionnaire was mailed to the secretaries of several Provincial Grand Lodges of Canada. The prompt, courteous answers were revealing. Their loss of EA's by failure to advance averages less than 5%, compared to our 20%. A striking difference. Their proficiency requirements appear to be about equal to ours. In some Canadian lodges, but not in all, if EA's or FC's are present, the Stated Communications are opened and business conducted in the first degree. There's no restriction on participation, all present may even vote on petitions. Thus EA's and FC's are made to feel that they are a vital part of the Fraternity. We are assured that this creates a greater incentive for completing the degrees.

Further probing brought to light another practice that is no doubt an even greater factor in reducing the number of EA's who might become weary of well doing and loiter along the way. The potential candidate is told exactly what's before him, and what is expected of hira. He is told that he is obligating himself to work, to study and, in due time, to complete the three degrees. To assist him in doing so, the brethren who carry his petition become his active, concerned sponsors. They not only instruct him, but give him continued support and encouragement as he progresses through the degrees. The results speak for themselves. Perhaps We Can Reduce Our Losses of EA's Some conclusions might be drawn from the information so cheerfully furnished by our Canadian Brethren. (1) Our investigation committees must consider their mission as much more than just a pleasant family chat. After determining that the petitioner possesses the essential qualifications, he should be told of the time he will have to spend tp pass proficiency and to make sure he has the necessary time. He should be told that, in due time, he will be expected to complete the three degrees. In some jurisdictions an EA must either advance within a year or submit a new petition. It might help if our Jurisdiction had a time limit. Some of the above information might well be conveyed to the potential candidate by the signers of his petition. It really isn't fair to allow a man to sign a petition without making certain that he knows what he's getting into. (2) If the above points are covered either by the signers of a petition or the investigation committee, the work of the coach will be much easier. He won't have to run the candiate down in order to coach him. It is assumed that most of our coaches know that their duties extend beyond just teaching questions and answers which, alone, won't make a man into a Mason. Some Grand Jurisdictions (Washington is one) have an outline of what the coach is expected to cover, in addition to questions and answers. Noted In Passing â&#x20AC;&#x201D;

Perhaps of Interest

In the battle of increasing utility bills, one Grand Jurisdiction where lodges habitually go dark in July and August, is considering closing for the months of January and February instead. Nevada allows circulating the names of candidates in lodge newsletters, thinking it will improve attendance. We've all heard members say, "I'd sure have been there, had I known friend Joe was to receive a degree," Each autumn Missouri's Perseverance Lodge #92, located in the city of Louisiana, holds a four o'clock in the morning communication, followed by breakfast. There must be something in its name. South Carolina lodges may confer the degrees upon a Minister of the Gospel for a reduced fee, or without collecting a fee. It is expected that every lodge in the United States will, during February, 1982, observe the 250th anniversary of the birth of George Washington.

In discussing the increase of dues with which all lodges are faced, Wisconsin's Grand Master Benz remarked, "Even if they go to $30, where else can you, for so small an amount, have the comfort and security of knowing that you have sincere friends in every city of the United States and in most of the countries of the world?" Two Nebraska lodges whose stated meeting dates are governed by the appearance of a full moon, found themselves unable to meet in December, 1979, to elect officers as required by their by-laws. No full moon. The Grand Master rescued them from their dilema. A Texas Mason may, if he chooses, vote on a petition for the mysteries in any Texas lodge. The option, for obvious reasons, is seldom exercised. At least 21 States, including Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri, have adopted state-wide concurrent jurisdiction. A suggestion that our Grand Lodges do likewise hasn't found much favor. It would save a lot of paper work for lodges located near State borders. No one does as helpful or as scholarly a job in reviewing the Proceedings of other Grand Lodges as does Missouri's Past Grand Master Bruce H. Hunt. In submitting this, its final report, your committee wishes sincerely to thank Grand Master Starns and Past Grand Masters Artz, Gilbert and Mcintosh for bestowing upon us the honor and allowing us the privilege of serving. Special thanks to Brother William F. Mcintosh who was first in permitting the chairman to put his 1928 Royal Portable to work in behalf of his Grand Lodge. It has been a fantastic educational experience. Thanks also to Grand Secretary Albert O. Arnold, Jr. and Assistant Grand Secretary Dave Recob, for their help and especially their patience.

The 75th Annual Communication was held in the city of Red Deer on Friday, June 13, 1980, with 129 lodges represented and with 12 Past Grand Masters in attendance. Present, in addition to representatives from four Canadian Grand Lodges, were two from south of the border representing Idaho and Minnesota. The 75th anniversary celebration fund had available $8,000 for research, editing and printing. A printed history book was to be sold at cost plus a small handling charge. Grand Master Love rejoiced that the year had passed, the first since 1969, without changes being made in the constitution. However, the finance committee suggested that hereafter it be printed in looseleaf form to lessen printing costs when future changes are made. He asked the Board of General Purposes to assume more responsibility for long-term planning; and observed that putting copies of the "work" in the hands of anyone and everyone who wanted it hadn't resulted in any improvement in the quality of the ceremonies. The Jurisprudence Committee ruled that a constituent lodge had erred in refusing to allow a dual member to be a candidate for Senior Warden in its lodge, since he would be holding the same office in another lodge. There was no way the error could be rectified. Grand Master Love, in his visits to constituent lodges, favored the smaller ones in outlying districts, three of which said his was the first visit by a Grand Master in their entire history. Since 1953 the Grand Lodge Relief Committee had aided four brethren and 11 widows in the amount of $21,306. The smallest award was $15; the largest was $6,000. Lodge dues range from $10 to $60; ten charge $45 and ten are higher; only four charge more than $50. Initiation fees range from $50 to $225. Average age of initiates is 38; average age of all members, 57. William Neil Love was reinstalled for the customary second term as Grand Master, and William Percy Dunford was reinstalled for a tenth term as Grand Secretary.

Three recommendations were not approved: There will be no special diploma for third degree proficiency. The Grand Master's files will not automatically be opened to all elected Grand Lodge officers. The number of Grand Lodge officers will not be reduced from 20 to 15. Travel allowances were increased 10%. Ten college scholarships of $750 each are granted each year, good only in Arizona. Applicants are sons or daughters of Masons, or members either of Rainbow Girls, Job's Daughters or DeMolay, During the year Arizona made requests of neighboring jurisdictions for nine courtesy degrees and fifteen proficiency examinations, and in return was requested to confer 55 courtesy degrees, and coach and examine in 81 degrees.

Eight Emergent Communications were convened during the 15 month period. One was to conduct the funeral of Past Grand Master Fred Stuckey (1937); the others to place commemorative stones for or dedicate lodge buildings. All decisions of subordinate lodges on trials for suspension or expulsion of members are automatically reviewed by the Grand Lodge Committee on Appeals and Grievances. Of the 22 trial convictions reviewed, harsher sentences were imposed by the committee in six cases. On all others the decisions of the lodges were upheld. All involved unmasonic conduct. The Board of Charities reported a total expenditure of $5,018, only $28 of which was Board expenses. Scholarship grants went to 11 orphans of Masons - one for $600, the rest for S300 each. The Scholarship Board continued 10 college scholarships and awarded 15 new ones. Far the previous year those holding scholarships had a grade average of 3.17 out of a possible 4.0. Based on their excellent grades, two qualified for other scholarships and graciously forfeited their Masonic stipend. The Board of Custodian conducted 116 Ritual schools and held 228 Lecturer examinations. The Committee on Masonic Education has updated its visual education eguipment and program, a part of which shows the correct procedure for receiving Grand Lodge officers. A slide presentation, "This is Freemasonry," was shown to family groups 22 times and attracted 2300 viewers. Of the 16 lodges not represented at Grand Lodge for three consecutive years, the Committee on Charters and Dispensations recommended that six be reprimanded by the incoming Grand Master, and that one be suspended for a year. Hoyle W. Clanton was installed Grand Master and Jack B. Donham was reinstalled for an 11th term as Grand Secretary.

Memorial services honoring the founder of Freemasonry in Connecticut, General David Wooster, were held in Danbury on May 6, 1979. Following an impressive program, a wreath was placed on his grave. The death of Past Grand Master Harry Edward Bellini, Sr. (1967) occurred on May 5, 1979. The youth groups, DeMolay and Rainbow Girls, are active and healthy. One obvious reason, seven Masons were cited for their outstanding work with these groups. No decision was reached on a move for state-wide concurrent jurisdiction. Some feared that an applicant rejected in one section of the state might too easily be accepted in another. One Masonic District has already staged a Revolutionary War bicentennial observance program; others will follow. Grand Historian John R. Case is preparing a brief history of each Connecticut lodge founded during the 1775-1883 period and immediately thereafter. His first, on Union Lodge #31 in New London, appears in this issue of the Grand Lodge Proceedings. Nine lodges were established prior to 1775. Morris I.

Downs stated, "Brethren of an earlier day believed in the concept of a day's wages for annual dues and a month's wages for the fees. We are certainly a long ways from these basic guidelines now." Grand Master Feely observed that the time has come for Masons to don their aprons, pick up their working tools and return to work in the quarries. Cut down suspensions for NPD by making a thorough investigation of each member about to be dropped. Upgrade charity programs. Visit other lodges in the district to regain interest and enthusiasm.

The 140th Annual Communication was held in Medinah Temple in Chicago Oct. 5-6, 1979, with 680 lodges represented and 8 Past Grand Masters in attendance. Among the 31 Distinguished Guests from 23 neighboring Grand Jurisdictions were 10 Grand Masters. Among the 190 visits and special events attended by Grand Master VanTassel were 6 lodge anniversary observances, instituting a new lodge, 8 dedications of lodge buildings, 2 ground breaking ceremonies,... 2 cornerstone layings, 2 mortgage burnings and 5 funerals. One of the funerals was for Past Grand Master James Green (1951), for 22 years Grand Treasurer. The event of the year had to be the attendance, by special invitation, of Grand Master VanTassel and Deputy Grand Master Buecker at Holy Mass conducted in Grant Park by Pope John Paul II. Said Grand Master VanTassel, "It gives us a feeling that we are no longer foreigners to Catholic Men; not their adversaries ... that we are working hand-in-hand, I hope, to serve the one true God and for the benefit of our fellowman." After months of survey and research, followed by many conferences with his own Grand Lodge officers and those in neighboring States, Grand Master VanTassel exercised his prerogative of waiving proficiency requirements for advancement. Acceptance was slow at first, but gained momentum to the extent that 5,177 delinquent EA's got back on the road toward becoming MM's. A survey had indicated that there had been 30,000 delinquents. Losses in membership for the year were cut in half. However, a subsequent proposal to amend the Masonic Code to conform somewhat to the English system failed adoption. It would have reduced the proficiency requirement to six questions in each degree, plus a thorough knowledge of grips and words. Code Changes: An EA or a FC failing to advance in two years is delinquent and must petition for advancement. One convicted of a felony, or pleading guilty to one, can be expelled by the Grand Master without Masonic Trial. Proposals to reduce Masonic age to 18 and State Residence requirement to six months were introduced for action a year later. Norman R. Buecker was installed Grand Master and Roy L. Wyckoff was reinstalled for a third term as Grand Secretary.

were Past Grand Master Chester L. Gilbert and Grand Secretary Albert O. Arnold, Jr. from Kansas. Nine Emergent Communications were called during the year: cornerstones were laid for a High School, Elementary School, Institute of Technology, Masonic Temple, Fire Station and Community Center; a Masonic Mausoleum was dedicated; and, sorrowfully, funeral services were conducted for two Past Grand Masters - J. Ellit Grayson (1952-53) and Edwin A. Hamilton (1968-69). A new Morning Lodge UD was instituted at Dubuque to accommodate Brethren who prefer not to drive at night, bringing the total number of Daylight Lodges in Iowa to five. All are well attended. Grand Master Stamy is the third in Iowa to have come up through the ranlts of DeMolay. The other two were Wendell W. Bishop (1959-60) and William W. Bruba)?er (1966-67). The DeMolay Chapter at Marion initiated a class of 17 in honor of the Grand Master. The Grand Master conducted 10 Area Conferences. In addition, 15 Regional Schools for officers were held, at 10 of which there was a special school for secretaries. There were several ritualistic schools for officers. From 562 applicants the Scholarship Committee selected 45. A Grand Lodge officer, accompanied by the local lodge's Master, went to the school of each of the 45 to present the scholarship. Deploring the "bacli door" loss of members (NPD) Grand Master Stamy attributed much of it to lack of communication, saying, "Each and every Iowa Mason needs and deserves something from his lodge other than a dun for dues. ... It is the responsibility of the officers to have contact with the lodge's membership, to make members aware of the lodge's activities and to determine the needs of any particular brother." The Grand Master sends a personal letter to each drop out member. A five-phase study is to be made of the Prince Hall Masonry in Iowa. Laverne R. Clary was installed Grand Master. Charles T. Jackson, after 10 years as Grand Secretary-Librarian, becomes Grand Secretary Emeritus and is succeeded by Thomas Eggleston. Brother Jackson says he'll now have time to go back to the Library and read some of the books he's been working with.

Secretary. 5 are located in Northern Ireland and 8 in other portions of Ireland. The other 9 are scattered about the globe: New Zealand, South Africa, Southern Cape, Rhodesia, Natal, West India, Nigeria, Ghana and Zambia. The Grand and Provincial Grand Lodge Masters appear to hold office indefinitely. One Provincial Grand Master, in his annual report, indicated that he had held the office for 30 years. From these reports, as printed, we learn: In spite of the unsettled conditions, membership in Ireland is increasing. The amount contributed to charity funds is most encouraging. Each Provincial Grand Lodge holds four state meetings annually. The number of constituent lodges in the foreign provinces are frequently fewer than six. Other Grand Lodges usually have subordinate lodges in the same area. Fraternal relations are uniformly reported as cordial and friendly. The Grand Lodge sent to and received from Queen Elizabeth greetings in connection with the Silver Jubilee. During the year 8 new lodges were set to work, 4 of which were in Ghana and 1 in Nigeria. An alteration of Grand Lodge law provides that "Any elected member of the Grand Lodge of Instruction with less than 20 years membership who shall not have attended at least three Communications during the previous two years, shall cease to be a member." During the year only 3 members were suspended; 1 was expelled.

The 22nd Annual Communication was held in Tokyo March 17-18, 1979, with all lodges represented and 8 Past Grand Masters in attendance. Distinguished guests were in attendance representing the Grand Lodges of Scotland, Michigan, New York, Florida and California. Subordinate lodges, in addition to their annual report, also submit monthly reports. During his year Grand Master Napier visited 18 of his 20 lodges. To the other 2, which operate in the Japanese language, he sent Grand Treasurer Frederick S. Kashiwagi. In expressing their hopes for the continued growth of Masonry in Japan, several sparkling bits of history were revealed by Past Grand Masters Roy Baker and Tusne Teddy Yamada - both Japanese. The first recorded Japanese Mason was Susuke Nishi who received the degrees in Leyden, England in 1864. A philosopher and jurist, he contributed greatly to the modernization of Japan. Up until the end of WW II lodges in Japan accepted no Japanese members. Now, however, both membership and Grand Lodge officers appear to be about 60% Japanese. One speaker emphasized, "We cannot help but look forward to that point in time when our Japanese Brethren shall have swollen the rolls in our lodges and assumed most, if not all, of the leadership responsibilities." The current year's decline in membership is attributed to the fact that there are fewer foreigners available from which to draw members. The Grand Lodge has fraternal relationships with 49 U.S. and 74 other Grand Jurisdictions.

Quarterly meetings were held on Mar. 14, June 13, Sept. 12 and Dec. 2, 1979, at which routine business was conducted and routine reports given. The Annual Stated Communication was held Dec. 27, 1979; all were in Boston. ^Principle business at the latter was installation of officers and to celebrate the Feast of St. John the Evangelist. In addition to the above, no fewer than 15 Special Communications were convened during the year: 2 were in Balboa, Canal Zone; 3 were to consolidate 3 sets of lodges; 3 were to observe consituent lodge anni-' versaries (one of which was 200 years old and another 100). Temples were rededicated, a mortgage was burned and a Memorial Plaque unveiled. Of the 15 constituent lodges located outside the State's borders, 6 are in the Panama Canal Zone, 3 are in Chili, 4 in China {listed as in recess), 1 is in Japan and 1 at the Naval Station at Quantanamo Bay, Cuba. In addition to the Massachusetts Grand Lodge District in the Panama area, there are two lodges working under Scotland jurisdiction, and a Grand Lodge of Panama which presumes to restrict its membership to Panamanian citizens. Likewise, the Massachusetts chartered lodges are to restrict their membership to the dwindling number of U.S. citizens in the area. A cordial working relationship between the two hasn't been as easily attained as was hoped for. Grand Master Melanson bestowed fitting honors on two members. One had attained the age of 94 and the other, 102. This and other similar occasions throughout the United States leads this writer to conclude there must be some connection between adhering to the principles of Masonry and longevity. Said Grand Master Melanson, "I urge you to continue the practice of 'particular procurement'. Make it possible for that particular person whom you know to be a good man, to find his way to your lodqe

According to DDGM's all lodges are doing excellent ritualistic work and were so commended. Seventeen pages of the printed proceedings are given over to a history of the York Grand Lodge immediately following WW I, written by Grand Historian Marcos E. Folange. Special attention is paid to Masonry's rapid growth in the United States, and the relationship between U.S. Grand Lodges and those in Mexico. The actual period covered is 1920-1929.

Publications: A Memorial and Graveside Service booklet is provided for subordinate lodge officers, gratis. A Handbook, including information on data processing of records, has been issued for lodge secretaries. Members of the Speakers' Bureau appeared before lodge groups on 30 occasions. Among rulings and decisions by the Grand Master: Members may use a decal of the Masonic emblem. It cannot appear on a calling card nor on a specially manufactured metal Social Security card. A woman cannot serve as a member of a Temple Board. The Fraternal Order of Elks were denied Sunday afternoon use of a Masonic Temple for a practice session. Fraternal relations have been re-established with Italy, but decidedly not with Belgium. The ousted Shah of Iran had allowed the formation of Masonic lodges by Scotland, France and Germany. Under the present Islamic reign they are banned. Lodges on mainland China had, many years ago, to close or flee to Taiwan. Will China's new relationship with the U.S. have meaning? The Masonic Home has 293 residents, 215 of whom are women. Cost per person per day is $21.66, except in the hospital unit where it is $32.59. Twenty-three persons are receiving outside-the-hospital support, ranging up to $150 per month. A renovation of the hospital kitchen to meet state standards will cost $100,000. All youth groups - Rainbow Girls, Job's Daughters and DeMolay are in healthy condition, with their meetings well attended by adults. The proposed Grand Lodge budget for 1979-80 was $460,000.

A caption with each photograph outlined the individual's Masonic activities. In addition, there were 80 slides of famous Masons, synchronized with a tape recording. The booth attracted wide attention and many favorable comments were received.

During the year $354,469.11 was added to the Masonic Memorial Hospital Fund in support of the cancer research and treatment center at the University of Minnesota Hospital, bringing total receipts since 1955 to more than six million dollars. In the calendar year ending Dec. 31, 3,855 patients were treated and discharged, bringing the total since 1958 to 43,706. Heavy investments have been made to building, facilities and equipment, bringing about a change in name to the Masonic Cancer Center. Tot:al resources still stand at nearly two and a half million. The Masonic Home, standii.g high on the bluffs in Bloomington overlooking the scenic valley of the Minnesota river, is home for 78 men and 206 women - 55% of whom are between the ages of 80 to 89, the youngest being 53 and the oldest 103. The monthly cost per resident is $618. The Board of Custodians of the Work reported that 25 Masonic districts conducted 71 schools of instruction with a -total attendance of 1,876 - regretfully noting that 24 lodges sent no one to any of the schools.

Four Emergent Communications were called during the year at which a cornerstone was laid for one new lodge building and three others were dedicated. From "Charge to Masters of Lodges" by the late J. Rice Williams: "Every Master owes it to himself and his lodge to live an exemplary life. The Master is just as much the embodiment of Masonry in the community as the minister of the gospel is the embodiment of the particular church that he has in charge. Masonry, like every other organization, is judged largely by the conduct of its members, and particularly by the conduct of its leaders" Grand Master Ward advised that "a raffle or lottery in any form is unmasonic," and should not be engaged in; but admitted that participation by two brethren in a raffle in behalf of the Shrine Childrens' Hospitals was a mitigating circumstance. There are 18 DeMolay chapters in the State; 12 are active, 5 are in the process of reorganization, and one new chapter has been formed. New initiates during the year totaled 175.

The Grand Lodge, aided by the Masonic Service Association in raising funds, was able to aid flood victims in the amount of $130,345.10. Checks ranged from $100 to $1,275. There were 25 in the Children's Masonic Home at Meridian, ranging in age from 6 to 17. The annual cost per student is $5,206.67. From Grand Secretary Griffis' exceptional statistical report: 118 lodges suspended, no one for NPD; 98 had a gain in membership; 38 maintained the status quo. One lodge conferred 76 degrees and had a gain of 35; another conferred 75 and gained 19. Wayne Russell Lamb was installed Grand Master and T. K. Griffis was reinstalled Grand Secretary.

The 158th Annual Communication was held in the Scottish Rite Cathedral in St. Louis, Sept. 24-25, 1979, with 436 regular lodges and one UD represented, and 16 of 19 Past Grand Masters in attendance. 8 neighboring Grand Jurisdictions were represented, 4 by their Grand Master and Kansas by Grand Secretary Albert O. Arnold, Jr. Grand Master Montgomery feels that the term "subordinate" lodge is in some way demeaning and should be replaced with the more meaningful "constituent" lodge. He's right. Without them there would be no "grand" lodge. The Missouri Grand Lodge is now housed in its own new building, located near the intersection of 1-70 and US Highway #63, at the eastern edge of Columbia. It is also the home of the Missouri Lodge of Research. A campaign is under way to raise 20 million dollars to build and underwrite the operation of a second Masonic Home on Bannister Road in Kansas City. The long revered Masonic-Eastern Star Home in St. Louis houses 257 women, 42 men and 3 children, for a total of 302. Among official actions taken: Lodges not represented at Grand Lodge for two consecutive years, unless they can show cause, will forfeit their charters (120 to 140 lodges habitually were not represented). A committee of three, appointed by the Master, will interview members about to be suspended for non-payment of dues. A temporary provision for state-wide concurrent jurisdiction of lodges was made permanent. A move to make the offices of Grand Secretary and Grand Treasurer appointive, failed. Ten lodges had been, or were in the process of being, consolidated with other lodges. A Grand Lodge committee assists and advises with groups about to consolidate, and in particular to see that members of lodges that lose their identity are not lost.

The 123rd Annual Communication was held in Lincoln June 13-14, 1980, with 204 lodges represented and 21 Past Grand Masters in attendance. Among 9 Distinguished Guests, representing 7 neighboring Grand Jurisdictions, were Kansas' Grand Master F. Warren Starns and Grand Secretary Albert 0. Arnold, Jr. An emergent Communication was called on April 18, 1980, to conduct the funeral of Past Grand Master Charles P. Adams (1954). During 1979 three sets of lodges were consolidated. From Grand Secretary Lallman's well organized set of statistics we learn that 33 lodges gained in membership; 25 neither gained nor lost; 181 suffered losses. One lodge had a net gain of 19. 145 lodges have fewer than 100 members; 10 have more than 500; only one has more than 1,000 members. 7 lodges, having missed being represented at two consecutive Annual Communications, were cited to appear before the Committee on Charters and Dispensations to show cause for the absences. One lodge of only 80 members, having raised only two candidates in three years, held a non-mason guest night, resulting in 3 petitions, with others probable. Two lodges whose stated meeting dates are tied to the appearance of a full moon, found themselves in December, 1979, unable to meet and elect new officers as required by their by-laws - there being no full moon during the month. The Grand Master came to their rescue with special dispensions. Decisions of the Grand Master and approved by the Jurisprudence Committee: A member not in officer line can be nominated from the floor. A suspended member of the unrecognized Grand Lodge of Belgium would have to petition a Nebraska lodge and take the degrees as a new member. An illiterate, able neither to read nor write, is not a qualified petitioner. Among recommendations not approved: Adoption of the English "Lewis" rule, allowing sons and grandsons of Masons to petition at age 18. Allow proficiency examinations before a committee of Grand Masters. Reduction of residence requirement from one year to six months. Byron C. Jenkins was installed Grand Master and Norris W. Lallman was reinstalled for a 12th term as Grand Secretary.

During the year A Senior Citizens Center and a Civic Center were dedicated; cornerstone ceremonies were conducted for a Library and Cultural Center in Las Vegas; a City-County Convention Center in Elko; a County Finance Center in Reno; a Renewable Resources Center for the University of Nevada at Reno; a Courthouse at Eureka; and a cornerstone was relaid during the rehabilitation of the State Capitol Building at Carson City. By permission of the Grand Masters involved, there is much visiting between Nevada lodges and into adjoining states to confer degrees. Nevada lodges went into California on four occasions; California lodges came into Nevada three times and on one occasion an Idaho lodge came into Nevada. Thirteen courtesy degrees were conferred during the year. The States accommodated included California, Colorado, Texas, Kansas, Idaho, Illinois, Maryland and Oregon. Japan was also accommodated. Each newly installed Master of a subordinate lodge must, within 60 days, read the Nevada Masonic Code in its entirety and certify that fact to the Grand Master in writing.

ing Grand Jurisdictions, including the Grand Masters of Rhode Island and Maine. Massachusetts was also represented. The Board of General Purposes recommended the permit to hold semipublic installation of lodge officers be extended another year. However, the Grand Master or a Past Grand Master designated by him must conduct the installation ceremony, and entirely from memory. From the Quinn Trust Fund of $99,376.60, each subordinate lodge was given a grant of $250; which amount was increased to $300 for the next year; The total of which is less than the annual interest accruing to the fund. The Grand Lodge provides a membership certificate for each newly raised member. In addition to 46 50-year pins and 22 60-year bars, two brethren were honored for 70 years continuous membership. The printed annual report carries the names of all suspended, deraitted and re-instated members, in addition to the names of all deceased members for the year. Clarence Fleming Carter was reinstalled for the customary second term as Grand Master and M. W. Dalton was continued for a third term as Grand Secretary.

There are 13 Masonic Districts, each presided over by a Provincial Grand Master, assisted by Grand Director and Assistant Grand Director of Ceremonies, Grand Standard Bearer, Grand Organist and Grand Steward. Each District has at least one representative on the Board of General Purposes, the larger Districts having as many as three, and as many as three Grand Stewards. The Board of Benevolence reported income of $505,990 and expenditures of $172,432. 29 grants to individuals totaled $6,447. From 53 applicants for Bursaries, 34 were granted. Total paid out for Bursaries was $10,100. A new Disaster Fund has been established into which has been funneled $30,000. A Grand Lodge Centennial Project Fund of $150,000 has been established. External and Internal Publicity Committees have been appointed. Duties of the first: To increase a favorable image of Freemasonry with the general public, and to remove any misconceptions that may exist. Duties of the second: To maintain and develop interest and enthusiasm among members and to improve communication among leaders of the Craft, one of the tools to be an educational program. Two suggestions by subordinate lodges were speedily pushed aside. One was to permit ladies to see inside a lodge hall; the other to invite into membership suitable candidates for Freemasonry. While only 175 members were suspended NPD, 1,419 resigned. Feeling that provisions in the Book of Constitutions are unclear in the areas of grievances, trials, appeals, etc., a committee is at work on clarification.

The 193rd Annual Communication was held in Raleigh, Apr. 15-16, 1980, with 377 lodges represented and 17 of the 21 Past Grand Masters, including Grand Treasurer James W. Brewer, in attendance. Two Past Grand Masters completed the designs on their earthly trestleboards during the year, Charles P. Eldridge (1941) and Robert Lee Puqh (1954). The Grand Master reprimanded a lodge for voting on two petitions and reading two others at a meeting other than its regular stated, declared the actions null and void, and subsequently issued special dispensations for re-balloting and re-reading at a Stated Communication. He received 39 requests to waive physical disabilities on behalf of petitioners, 34 of which were granted. The ban on keeping or worlcing in a liquor saloon was eased somewhat by adoption of the following: "...it shall not be considered a Masonic offense to operate a dining facility pursuant to the laws of North Carolina where spiritous or intoxicating liquors are sold in strict conformity with the laws of North Carolina." The Committee on Appeals reviewed 10 cases of expulsion, all of which were upheld. Three other appeals for readmittance were denied. Rejected was an amendment which would have required that the minutes of all communications be read, corrected if necessary, and approved before adjournment. Florida, and perhaps other States, follow this practice. The Oxford Orphanage Home has 156 students on a beautiful campus of 38 buildings, where in addition to regular school training, there are opportunities to learn printing, shoe repair, electrical wiring, farming and ceramics. The printing department turns out one of the most attractive Grand Lodge Proceedings that come to this reader's attention. There are facilities for 200 students. Annual per capita cost is $6,200. Attendance at a special St. John's Day observance was 1,250. The Masonic and Eastern Star Home has 157 residents and a waiting list of 14. Cost per capita per day is $19.86. Some retirement apartments are complete but for ironing out construction problems with the contractor. Everette Stansil Aldridge was installed Grand Master and Robert Pete Dudley was reinstalled for a sixth term as Grand Secretary.

Rededication ceremonies were held in four constituent lodges, in connection with which one celebrated its 150th anniversary and another its 100th.

While no consolidation of lodges appears imminent, a committee delegated to draw up procedural plans for consolidations and mergers made an excellent outline which might be of interest to other Grand Jurisdictions. It occupies three pages in the printed proceedings. A committee delegated the task of surveying the attitudes of other Grand Jurisdictions on the consumption of liquor on lodge premises reported as follows; In Canada the Provinces of Ontario, New Brunswick, Quebec and Saskatchewan have written prohibitions; Prince Edward Island follows an unwritten prohibition. In the United States 33 Grand Jurisdictions have.prohibitions written into their regulations and four follow unwritten prohibition. In 11, a petitioner cannot be engaged in the liquor business. Among Eastern States, Maine has a written prohibition; in New Hampshire it can be served in the dining hall at social functions, but on lodge nights only after close of the meeting; Vermont, similar to New Hampshire except that the lodge cannot collect money for liquor. In Massachusetts, permitted except in lodge hall and environs; an officer cannot drink preceding a lodge meeting.

All Masons were urged to visit a public school sometime during the week. The Home and-School for children, located in Fort Worth, has 126 children ranging from Kindergarten through 12th grade. Financial assistance of $2,000 per year is provided for each student who goes on to college. Tuition fees are provided for those attending vocational schools.

Four Special Communications were convened during the year, two of which were to perform the last rites for Past Grand Masters Eric Auggust Bjorklund (1944) and Rulon Evan Jones (1972) . At another the cornerstone was laid for the Community Memorial Chapel in Salt Lake City. The fourth was to install Moffett E. Felkner as Grand Pursivant. To fill the gap between the proposed budget and anticipated income, per capita dues were increased from $3.75 to $5.75. Hardship cases for which dues are remitted will not be exempt. Defeated were resolutions which would have required certificate of qualification by the Grand Lecturer for installation as Master of a constituent lodge; and to provide a special pin for Masonic widows. A Mason from an unrecognized jurisdiction who had been attending a constituent lodge for several years is now in good standing, having petitioned and received all three degrees in a Utah lodge. Grand Master Thomas observed that attendance was usually better in the smaller lodges, often running as high as 40% of total membership. It would be well if a copy of the address of Grand Orator Curtis N. Lancaster could be sent to every Mason in the United States. Among his observations: "What kind of influence do I have on Masonry? Is it a positive influence that promotes Masonry, or is it a negative influence that detracts from our great order? ... I don't believe a practicing Mason can have a neutral influence on Masonry; if it is not a positive influence, then by default it is negative. A Mason is a different man. If he is not, then he has completely failed to understand what Masonry teaches. ... Unless we are better husbands, fathers, sons, or brothers, we aren't following the teachings or living the obligations of Freemasonry." The Utah Mason is published as a private enterprise which it is hoped can be changed. Frank Richard Begley was installed Grand Master and Marvin H. Clayton was reinstalled Grand Secretary.

All Communications were in East Melbourn. Total attendance at the December Communication was 1,325. G. W. Hooichman, representing the French National Grand Lodge was a guest at the March 21st Communication. Present at the Dec. 19th Communication were two brethren representing lodges under English constitution. Several amendments to the Book of Constitutions were made to change all linear or distance figures to their metric equivalent. A Companies Act, enacted by the State of Victoria, made it mandatory that the Grand Lodge form two companies - one to handle the publishing and distribution of the Masonic Journal, and the other to hold property on behalf of subordinate lodges. In response to an appeal for brethren to train as Grand Lodge organist, 50 written applications were received. Daylight Lodge #861, in Essendon, was consecrated. Many constituent lodges are putting on special programs in observance of the anniversary of their founding. The Board of General Purposes, backing up its program to improve the appearance of lodge temples,- ha? helped 79 to the extent of $68,000 in grants and loans. The most active committee of the Board is the one responsible for the management of the Masonic Center on Albert Street. It is responsible for the public hiring of the large auditorium and its adjacent dining and meeting facilities, plus that part reserved for Masonic meetings and the Grand Lodge secretary and staff. During the year, four constituent lodges found it necessary to surrender their warrants and cease operations. Grand Master Gregory, in closing his address, quoted Bernard Shaw, "We have no more right to consume happiness without producing it than we do to consume wealth without producing it." So foreign to the philosophy of so many of our present generation, who demand instant gratification without effort, responsibility or personal sacrifice. Neville Leonard Colbran was the only nominee for Grand Master. D. E. Plaisted was appointed Grand Secretary, G. W. C. Jackson, having been a Grand Lodge officer for 50 years, desired to retire.

The 9 lodges which in 1777 promoted the organization of a Virginia Grand Lodge had been chartered by Scotland, England and Ireland. Three other lodges chose not to participate. It is likely that the earliest lodges working in Virginia did so without benefit of a charter. During the current year 3 Special Communications were called, at 2 of which new lodges UD were set to work. At the other, a lodge temple was dedicated. Cornerstones were laid for a church and for a lodge building. Grand Master Lacy proclaimed June 24th as the day on which constituent lodges should attend church. During the month the Grand Master filled the pulpit at one church, as did the Grand Junior Deacon at another. The Grand Master ruled that a lodge cannot conduct a raffle, neither can it benefit in any way from one conducted by non-masons. Official actions: The lunar month waiting period on applications changed to four weeks. Candidates for advancement are voted on twice, once on proficiency and again on moral qualifications. Group balloting is permissible in each case. A move to raise per capita tax from $3.50 to S6.50 was defeated. There is also a $3 Masonic Home assessment. Defeated also was a move to require proficiency on the third degree. The names of candidates may not be published in a lodge bulletin. The names of all members of subordinate lodges will not be included in the printed Proceedings. Too expensive.

and Manchester; the YMCA at Walla Walla; the Junior and Senior High Schools at Chimacum and Grandview. The Committee on Charity reports that there is a direct conflict between certain portions of the Chapter to wit: The Constitution adopted has no mention of charity, yet all sections are concerned with "charitable relief". In the Code of 1913, these sections deal with rights of families, i.e., wives and children of Masons, to receive charitable relief. In 1967 the code bars a divorced wife from charitable relief, yet a 1928 resolution offered and passed, states that Grand Lodge shall not invade the rights of a lodge to appropriate funds for Masonic relief. The committee requests that the Code Commission study this matter and report at the next annual communication. The Jurisprudence Committee presented for approval a very detailed ritual to be used as a Table Lodge Ceremony. The document was approved, another resolution passed by three-fourths majority vote that offers voluntary Life Membership. Still another resolution makes it a Masonic offense to solicit a Master Mason who has not passed the proficiency of the third degree work lecture and paid at least one years current dues, to any organization requiring Masonic membership as a prerequisite. Toby Johnson was installed Grand Master and Edward L. Bennett reinstalled Grand Secretary for a 13th term.

Regular Communications were held in Como on Apr. 24 and Oct. 29, 19 79, each at 7:00 P.M. Total attendance at the first was 500; at the second, 788. The State Treasury has removed the Grand Lodge's exemption from payment of payroll tax and required back payment for two years, totaling $933.65". Sixteen lodges meeting in the areas of Bassendean, Maylands, Guildford, Inglewood and Midland are considering a Masonic Center, in a central location, in which all would meet. The idea has been generally accepted but putting it into practice seems fraught with difficulties . The over-all governing Board of General Purposes has granted one lodge permission to go in recess for nine months; another to do so for eight months, and another for seven. No reasons were given, although the recess periods generally fall in the summer months. The Board denied the request of Amaranth to meet in lodge halls, and to solicit members from the Cottage Homes. The lodge hall at Cadoux was completely destroyed by an earthquake and the homes of several members were severely damaged. The hall was

The Howard Solomon Masonic Hostel and Nursing Home, located in Lynwood, was opened Mar. 25, 1979. Cottage Homes are now located at Mt. Lawley, Coolbellup and Orelia. Plans have been approved to build 10 more at Busselton, Geraldton and Albany. Rental rates have been increased slightly; single bedsitter units are S8 per week; with separate bedroom, S10.50. Installation of Grand Master Turnbull, together with interview, was covered by TV. The 16-mm sound color film has been purchased by the Board and is available to subordinate lodges. Eight $150 college level scholarships were granted. The recipients were invited to Freemason's Hall where they were presented their checks and given a guided tour of the building. Laurence Steuart Turnbull was installed for a second term as Grand Master; B. M. W. Bridgeman was retained as Grand Secretary, and R. H. Bennett as Deputy Grand Secretary.

The 115th Annual Communication was held in Charleston Oct 8-9, 1979, with 14 3 lodges represented and 12 Past Grand Masters in attendance. 11 neighboring Grand Jurisdictions were represented, 3 of them by the Grand Master. Rulings and Decisions by the Grand Master: The Order of Eastern Star may not hold a fund-raising dinner in a Lodge dining room. On request, three subordinate lodges were permitted to hold special communications in the Masonic Home at Parkersburg. On each occasion a third degree was conferred. Although the Grand Lodge is incorporated, subordinated lodges must remain unincorporated. Henceforth, the Grand Master's Apron and Jewel are to remain the property of the Grand Lodge, but held in custody by the recipient during his lifetime for use on all appropriate occasions. Subordinate Bodies were reminded that PC's and EA's aren't fair game for membership. They are forbidden to attend meetings of such bodies which aren't open to the public. An incoming Master cannot be installed unless he is capable of efficiently conferring all three degrees and giving the lectures pertaining thereto. One Master was reprimanded for holding a pancake feed in his lodge's dining room as a fund-raising project. The Masonic Home has 42 residents, 28 of whom are women; 3 additional women are given outside assistance. Its founding in 1917 was made possible by a bequest of $150,000. The annual budget is $462,375,

The 136th Annual Communication was held in Madison June 9-10, 1980, with 251 lodges represented, and 16 Past Grand Masters in attendance. 11 Distinguished Guests, representing 8 neighboring Grand Jurisdictions were present, among them Kansas' Grand Junior Warden, Robert G. Jackson. Among official actions taken: Lodges will no longer remit dues for 50-year members. For permanent members of the Grand Lodge and one representative of each constituent lodge in attendance at Grand Lodge, the remuneration will be S30 per day and 20t a mile. The per capita tax is $8.55. The Prince Hall Lodge matter. After many months of deliberation, on Sept. 19, 1979, Grand Master Hughey sent a letter to Arthur L. Myers, Jr., Wisconsin's Prince Hall Grand Master, offering the opportunity for each Prince Hall lodge to become a chartered lodge under the Grand Lodge of Wisconsin, F. & A.M. Prince Hall's Grand Master Myers agreed to reconmiend approval of the offer, s'ibject to further discussion and approval by his Grand Lodge. Much discussion followed, but no positive action has been taken. Considerable more time and discussion of details will be necessary. In the meantime, much to the relief of Wisconsin Masons and the brethren elsewhere, the oppressive tax burden the Wisconsin Department of Revenue attempted to inflict, failed to stand up in court. It was a long battle, but the victory was won. The charge of discrimination was dismissed. Few Grand Masters have labored under the handicap suffered by Grand Master Hughey, or have accomplished more. An affliction confined him to wheelchair during much of his term, yet he carried on, receiving loyal and dedicated support from all co-workers. The Masonic Foundation offered to match whatever funds constituent lodges would set aside for high school scholarships. 80 lodges accepted the offer and received $17,400 in matching funds.

Grand Master is intended to be more of a tribute to a dedicated servant of Masonry than a chronological dissertation of facts and accomplishments. "That cement which unites us into one sacred band or society of friends and brethren amoung whom no contention should ever exist, but that noble contention or rather emulation of who best can work or best agree." Our Grand Master F. Warren Starns, is a Mason who knew this wise truth before becoming a Mason. His childhood was probably no different than that of many of us; yet, filled with the love of family that cannot be defined or learned from text books. F. Warren Starns was born on a farm near Lafontaine in Wilson county, on May 8, 1927. His parents moved to Brewster, Kansas, when he was 13 years old. Warren graduated from Brewster High School in 1945, then spent the next 27 months in the United States Navy. After his discharge he attended Kansas State University on a football scholarship, graduating in 1952. Our Grand Master is a person who excells in self-excellence. He demands that quality of himself but only suggests that quality to others by his actions. His self-excellence as a football player made him an all conference end at Kansas State University. He was a teacher and coach in the Dickinson County Community High School in Chapman before starting his career as a farmer and rancher in Wallace and Thomas counties. He was married to Lois Eileen Emel, also a graduate of Kansas State University, on June 9, 19 51. They now reside on the farm that Lois's grandparents homsteaded in the 1880's, six miles north of Winona. They have three sons and one daughter. Mix 28, and his wife Carla, farm near Brewster. Dan, 24, a recent graduate from KSU and his wife Terri also live near Brewster. Jon, 21, and his wife Terry have joined his father in Starns Farms, Inc. Leslee, 25, works in the Farmers State Bank in Winona. They have one granddaughter, Shanna, and two grandsons, Travis and Eric. Warren's hobbies are fishing and woodworking. He received his pilot's license in 1977. His love for the "outdoors" was cultivated by a father who was a friend to all and a sportsman. His tenacity and desire for self-excellence came from a dedicated hard-working mother whose quiet and generous manner were to be also transmitted unimpaired to her son, our Grand Master.

Our Grand Master served as on officer in the Winona State Bank after moving to Thomas county. He also served as a member of the Board of Education for ten years. He is presently serving as a Director of the Farmers State Bank, Past President of the S & T Telephone Cooperative Association and Treasurer of the Winona Feed and Grain Elevator. He was Chairman of the Administrative Board of the United Methodist Church. He is also Past President of the Thomas County Fair Board. Brother Starns was appointed Grand Senior Deacon by M:.W:. Ralph D. Walker. His masonic record is as follows: Sharon Springs Lodge No. 417.

Our Grand Master is a large man in stature but probably is most noticed for his affable, amiable, and genuinely sincere attitude in dealing with people. The 1981 Grand Lodge session was enhanced by the supreme degree of compatibilty and affability displayed by the Craft, but this decorum was cultivated and nutured by our Grand Master. "How majestic is naturalness, I have never met a man whom I really considered a great man who was not always natural and simple. Affectation is inevitable the mark of one not sure of himself." -Charles G. Dawes

MEMORIAL TO M:,W:. JAMES A, CASSLER GRAND MASTER 1934 James A. Gassier was born at Mitchell, Rice County, Kansas, on November 5th, 1881. He retained a warm spot in his heart for his home county until the time of his death at McPherson, March 12th, 1980. With a background in farming, he went to Law School at the University of Kansas, receiving his L.L.B. Degree in 1910, and being admitted to the Bar of the State of Kansas in June of that year. Jim had many interests with perhaps law being his primary interest, but Masonry running a close second. He was Raised in Canton Lodge No. 197 on August 18th, 1903. He later transferred to McPherson Lodge No. 172, and served as Master of McPherson Lodge in 1918. He served as Grand Master of the M:.W:. Grand Lodge of Kansas AF&AM from February 23rd, 1934 to February 21st, 1935. He was a regular attender of Grand Lodge until the late years of his life when his health precluded his attendance. He never lost his zest for Masonry and on July 7th, 1973, M:.W:. J. Fred Williamson, Grand Master, and a number of Past Grand Masters, Grand Officers, and other Masons, went to McPherson Lodge to celebrate the 70th Anniversary of Brother Gassier 's Masonic Career. Brother Cassler was a long time Rotarian and he frequently made up his attendance at the Rotary Club in Lyons. He enjoyed meeting with the Lyons Club and they enjoyed having him. "Jimmie" had an active interest in the history both of Rice County and McPherson County. He was responsible for the marking of the Santa Fe Trail across McPherson County and he said he would buy the markers for Rice County, if the County Commissioners would put them up. The marking was accomplished in Rice County at his expense. In the Centennial Year of McPherson County this writer recalls an entirely pleasant afternoon making a tour of historical spots in McPherson County with Brother Cassler as narrator and guide. Our Brother was a devoted churchman and a member of the United Methodist Church at McPherson. His faith stood him in good stead as he exemplified in his life the Christian teachings which meant so much to him. For several years, when his wife was confined to the hospital, every day without fail, regardless of the type of weather, Jim would be with his beloved wife reading to her out of the Bible, and sharing with her memories of their long life together. Jim Cassler not only lived a long life but he lived a useful life right up to the very end. He retained a quaint sense of humor and he brought pleasure into the lives of those who were helping care for him. Margaret Wolf was one of those working at the hospital for the last three years of Brother Cassler's life. Her comments are illuminating but only a few examples will be given. She said that when she started to work she felt that she would be the one who was making the contribution but actually as she worked with Jim she found out that she was getting as much back from him as she gave. Instead of his being a care it was more of a pleasure of help him and all of the women who came in contact with him in the hospital felt substantially

the same way. They looked forward to seeing him and helping him and in return he enriched the lives of each of them. Jim had the run of the hospital wing and no telling where he would turn up. It was hard for him to realize that his wife of so many years and to whom he had given such loving and devoted care was not still with him. Jim would-talk of her as if she were still alive. It was a customary thing after evening supper to assist Jim to the Commode beside his bed. One evening the nurses were particulary busy and left him for a longer period of time than was customary. When the nurses arrived to help him back in bed they offered their apologies for leaving him on the commode a longer than usual time and his remark was, "it's that damnable committee." Probably a persons last years reflect somewhat the kind of a person one was in the early years and this is true of James Cassler. He was always useful to his community and to society in general. He was a compassionate man with a sense of appreciation for the history of his community and state. He was always able to see the humor in any situation. He left this life as he had lived, with dignity, poise, and with a sense of appreciation for the lighter side of life. Jim has left us and his Brethren mourn but his friends are better for having known him and his community is better for his having lived. His unfaltering trust in God made it possible for him to make a smooth transition from time to eternity. The graveside Masonic service was held March 17th, 1980, at the Mausoleum at the McPherson cemetery. The Masonic Service was by the writer, his friend of many years.

MEMORIAL TO M;.W:. H . JACKSON STATON GRAND MASTER 1970 "When Life's Great Scorer comes to write against your name, it matters not if you won or lost, but how you played the game." Although these words were written a number of years ago, they apply very directly to our late Past Grand Master. Howard Jackson Staton was born on the 31st day of July 1921, in Shannon County, Missouri. He was the sixth of seven sons and one daughter born to John W. and Armanda Staton. The difficulties experienced during the thirties were even harder for this family as the father passed away in 1932. M:.W:. Staton first came in Kansas to work for his older brother in the- automotive business, but returned a short time later to accept employment as a supply steward in the Civilian Conservation Corps in Ellington, Missouri. Enlistment in the United States Marine Corps followed with four years of honorable service. Two of those years were spent in the Pacific Theatre. After discharge as a Master Sergeant of motor transportation, he once again returned to Kansas. While pursuing his livelihood in the automotive business, he met and married Mary Margaret Mater. In 1951, M: .W:. Staton entered into the partnership of Mater-Staton Insurance and Real Estate Agency. Later, this was changed to StatonClowers Agency. The success of these business enterprises were due in no small way to his efforts. Our Grand Master first saw light in Masonry June 16, 1945, when he was initiated in St. John Lodge No. 254. This occurred while he was home on furlough. Operating under Special Dispensation from the Grand Master, he completed the degrees in just eight days. On his return from service he was elected to the office of Jiinior Warden in 1948; Senior Warden in 1949; and Worshipful Master in 1950. He was first appointed to Grand Lodge office as Grand Pursuivant in 1962, Grand Junior Deacon in 1963, Assistant Grand Tyler in 1964, Grand Senior Steward in 1965, Grand Senior Deacon in 1966, Grand Junior Warden in 1967, Grand Senior Warden in 1968, Deputy Grand Master in 1969, and Grand Master in 1970. During this time he also served on the Grand Lodge committee on Masonic Education and on the Grand Lodge committee on Temple Building and Remodeling. He belonged to the York Rite bodies; Mt. Nebo Chapter No. 36 of Great Bend; Hutchinson Council No. 13, Hutchinson; and St. Omer Commandrey No. 14 of Great Bend. He received the degrees of Scottish Rite in the Wichita Consistory in 1963, receiving the rank of Knight Commander Court of Honor in 1969. He belonged to the Midian Shrine Temple of Wichita. The highlight of his Masonic career came in 1970 when He was elected Grand Master of the Grand Lodge AFSAM of Kansas. A distinguishing feature of his administration was his unique ability to put an audience at ease. With his razor sharp wit and infectious smile, he brought his own special style and grace to the office of Grand Master. With a story or quip for every occasion, he became a legend in his own time. M:.W:. Staton belonged to the St. John American Legion Post No. 53; was a Charter Member of St. John V.F.W. Post No. 7519. He was a member of the Board of Directors and an active member of St. John Fire Department until health would no longer permit. He was a member and past president of the St. John Chamber of Commerce, and a member of

236

Proceedings of the

S t . John Methodist Church. Surgery and a long illness in 1976 greatly curtailed his many activities. Yet he remained an active and interested member of the Kansas Masonic Home Board. Illness again became a very present reality during the month of May just past and finally the grim reaper came on the 3rd of June, 19 80. On June 6, 1980, funeral services were conducted by two persons Jack loved best: Dr. Forrest Haggard of Overland Park, and J. Pred Williamson of Lyons. Both are distinguished Past Grand Masters of our Grand Lodge. He is survived by his beloved Mary Margaret, son Steven, daughter M r s . Ted (Judy) Stutzman, two grand children, five brothers and one sister. Though death has stilled that deep, rich, voice, the good humor, the warm greeting and many kindly acts, the memory of his courageous spirit and love of family and friends will remain with us always. In these fraternity will never and hearts

few words it is not possible to describe his impact on our or the State of Kansas. This was no ordinary man. There be another Jack Staton. Today he lives on in the minds of the Masons of Kansas. That is true immortality.

Here his special abilities, his unlimited energy, and devoted attention

had their best chance for full development and his reputation was more than state-wide as he had attended National Conventions of Free Masonry and presented addresses that were worthy of the attention they received from other leaders of our Fraternity. Truly he was a Masonic Scholar and Speaker. Our beloved Past Grand Master Charles S. McGinness died at a Topeka, Kansas, Hospital, December 11, 1980. He was 87 years old. Services were held at the First Presbyterian Church of Topeka on Saturday, December 13, 1980 .and burial was in the family lot in Fairview Cemetery, Cherryvale, Kansas.

"They have taken their bright candles and have gone into another room we cannot find. But everone may know where they have been by all the lovely lights they left behind."

1982 ADDRESS OF THE GRAND MASTER To The H:.W:. Grand Lodge of Kansas: With an ever Increasing respect for the Craft, I humbly address the Masons of Kansas at this, the 126th Annual Communication of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons of Kansas. â&#x20AC;˘' Condition of the Craft The condition of the Craft this year is as it is basically every year. The Grand Lodge of Kansas is fortunate to have a sizeable number of the Craft who are extremely dedicated and quite willing to serve above and beyond the ordinary call to duty. Were this not so, we would fall deeper and deeper into a quagmire of apathy. Fifty years ago. Brother and President Franklin Roosevelt said, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself". I would paraphrase that to read, "The only thing we have to fear is indifference or apathy". ' ' .? ' We are blessed to live in a great state with boundless opportunities to live free and unfettered, to love our country, to worship as we choose, and to meet as Masons and brothers in an atmosphere of freedom. Let's take none of these priveleges for granted. You, rny brethren, know that this great year for me was begun in sadness and anguish that most definitely prevented me from sharing this tremendous experience with the marvelous little lady that I loved. Therefore, the pleasure and joy of serving as Grand Master was diminished for me; but I can say without reservation that the honor you bestowed upon me will remain forever a precious memory. I have consistently tried to express my enthusiasm for Masonry and to urge each of you to share that enthusiasm with your brothers and any other good men you know. I presume the coming years will have less comment about Keystone Lodge No. 102 and M:.W:. Harry S. Truman, but I assure you they will be in my thoughts as will each and every one of you. Council of Administration I want to thank R:.W:. Robert G. Jackson, R:.W:. Richard A. Porter and R:1W:. Lawrence D. Winegardner for their support and patience. They tolerated with good,humor an erratic Grand Master. Grand Lodge Appointive Officers ' These are the men to whom I feel especially close, and I'm sure each one of them knows the high esteem I have for them. Thank you, my brethren. Area Deputy Grand Masters and District Deputy Grand Masters These men work so hard for Grand Lodge and the Grand Master that it is almost impossible to find enough words to express my gratitude. Thank you. Past Grand Masters Nothing that I can say will, add to or detract from the luster these men have achieved. Only they know their comnitment to the Grand Lodge and the Grand'Master. Obviously, my special thanks go to M:.W:.,.William F. Mcintosh who, in a rare moment of carelessness, appointed me to the office of Grand Senior Deacon. You are a distinguished group of gentlemen., Grand Lodge Staff

. ,

., .

To these great people, I owe so much. The Grand Secretary, R:.W:. Albert 0. Arnold, Jr.; the Assistant Grand Secretary, R:.W:. David'L. Recob; Jean Rader; Jack Werner; Lillian.Wiant and Jan Becker r have been the most loyal and helpful group that you can Imagine. Without them I would have been totally inert.' Thank you so very much. .

Proceedings of the

March

Keystone Lodge No. 102 You have been an inspiration since I was elected to receive the Mysteries. The honors you gave me have been most deeply appreciated. Please advise the brethren in District No. 25 that they, too, are close to me. Other Grand Ourisdictions My travels to other Grand Jurisdictions have been limited, but it can be no secret that I share a common feeling of togetherness with them and wish them every success. Lecturers and Committeemen To these dedicated Masons who contribute so greatly to the operation of the Grand Lodge, I say quite sincerely - thank you,' very miich: Appendant and Concordant Bodies We would be nowhere without the support of the appendant and concordant bodies. I think that each of us as Masons should be very grateful to these bodies for their support of our Grand Lodge. Youth Groups If you, as a Mason, need to have your spirits uplifted and your faith in our young people restored, visit our youth groups. They are the most inspiring group of people you will meet. My sincere wish for them is that they prosper beyond their wildest imagination. My advice to them is to listen to us once in awhile, but don't pay too much attention. To a Special Group of People To those loving friends and relatives who so willingly filled a need that the Grand Master's Banquet and Ladies' Luncheon be happy and decorative events, I am eternally grateful. My especial thanks go to Rachael Gilbert and Marge Arnold for helping arrange these events; to Rhea Williams, Vera Williams and Erma Williams who furnished decorations for the Grand Master's Banquet. Rhea, who is quite an artist in her own right, made the gifts that the women received; and I thank her for this very kind expression of friendship. Thelma Boyles, Ada Cyrus and Doris Brewer worked untold hours fashioning the gifts for the Ladies' Luncheon. Why they performed such a labor of love I cannot understand, but I am sincerely and deeply grateful. It seems that there is always a requirement for someone who can and will do something that you can never forget. While I am dearly fond of each of you, I want to acknowledge the great friendship I have enjoyed with Claude and Phyllis Norris. Claude has been kind enough to fly me to many places far removed from Coffeyville; and he and Phyllis have been so nice and considerate that I am quite overwhelmed. 01 ice Williams and Mel Heideman have been extremely supportive of my travels these last few years, and to them I say - many, many thanks. Brothers Leo Moore, George Osgood and Ira Filkel have each played an important part in my Masonic life, and to them I want to express my gratitude. Rulings 1. Ruled that the widow of a Master Mason, Brother Charles F. Nickelson, who died while in need of $750.00, could receive the sum which would be used as originally requested. 2.

Ruled that Brother Paul C. Bunn could receive his 50-year Emblem in 1981.

3. Ruled that St. Francis Lodge No. 404 could combine the Minutes of their Stated and Special Coiniiunications into one record. (On request from W:. Hurburt K. Graves, PM of the lodge.)

4. Earlier in this year By-law 4-112 was brought to my attention and, in particular, its relationship to ARTICLE IX, Section 2, of our Constitution. 1 have ruled that the brother in question could petition a Kansas lodge with sufficient reason, provided he had a Waiver of Jurisdiction from the Grand Master of the jurisdiction in which he resided. But I further charged the Special Conriittee on Laws to examine 4-112 for the purpose of amendment to make It compatible with the Constitution. Proclamations One year ago a proposition was presented on the floor of this Most Worshipful Grand Lodge to amend the Constitution by adding a new section to Article IX which would be Section 15. NEW Section 15 "Kansas Lodge of Research. The Kansas Lodge of Research is hereby established with the authority to conduct research, hold discussions, gather and preserve Masonic information, assist In the maintenance of the Grand Lodge Library, supply papers or speakers at the request of Lodges when convenient, and conduct a program ot general service to the Craft in the field of Masonic Education and Information subject to the provisions of the law. "It shall establish its fees and dues; It shall hold its communications when and where it determines; it reports annually to the Grand Lodge; it has no other dutieT or powers of Chartered Lodges. "Any Master Mason who remains a member In good standing of a Kansas Lodge is eligible for active membership in the Kansas Lodge of Research. Other classes of membership may be established for other persons, institutions, or organizations as prescribed by Its" By-Laws." The Grand Secretary has communicated to me that more than two-thirds of the Lodges of this Grand Jurisdiction have ratified the proposed addition. I, therefore, proclaim Section 15 of Article IX to be a part of the Constitution and By-Laws of this Grand Jurisdiction. Edicts Consolidations of Lodges are probably not the best solutions to Lodge problems, but sometimes are deemed necessary. Therefore, with reluctance, I did issue several edicts for consolidations. I recommend to future Grand Masters that this issue be carefully reviewed with the intent of finding a better solution to this problem. These Edicts of Consolidations are listed elsewhere in the Annual Report Grand Representatives This year it was my pleasure to appoint as Grand Representatives to Grand Jurisdictions from other recognized Grand Lodges the following: Alaska Baja California Sur Belgium Brazil (Pernambuco) Idaho India Mexico (Baja California) Missouri New Hampshire Peru

The Kansas Masonic Home and Kansas Masonic Foundation Each year, according to by-laws and custom, it is the privilege and pleasure of the Grand Master to serve as President of the Kansas Masonic Home Board and to serve as a member of the Board of Directors of the Kansas Masonic Foundation. This was an enlightening experience, and I'm pleased to report that in my opinion each of our charitable organizations made substantial progress.

Recoiiiiiendations 1. Owing to the continued pressures of Inflation and the resulting increased costs of operation, I recommend that By-Law 2-301, Article III, be amended to read "$6.00 per capita''.. This represents a $1.00 increase, and at least half of this increase will be necessary to make our Grand Lodge building energy-efficient. 2. I further reconmend those changes to our Constitution and By-Laws as proposed by the Special Committee presented to you at our last communication, and the several minor changes which will be presented to you by this coranittee later at this communication, be adopted. Conclusion While I have delineated but a small segment of you by name, I repeat again and again that each of you are remarkably close to me; and these years in Masonry have immeasurably bettered my life. You're simply great - I shall never forget. Fraternally submitted. Ben B. Boyles Grand Master Addendum to Recommendations: Kansas Mason When my report was prepared, we were unaware that the Kansas Mason would receive such an astounding increase in postage. We were advised by the postal authorities that mailing costs would increase $13,835. I do, however, intend to ask only for $1.00 per capita increase, unless you decide otherwise. We can reduce the number of issues to four per year, improve the quality of the paper, and leave the recommended increase at $1.00. Six issues a year would require an increase of $1.25 in the per capita tax. Your Council of Administration and I â&#x20AC;˘ recommend four issues a year. Ben B. Boyles Grand Master

R:.W:. Merlyn G. Farlee, DDGM, Dist. 41 R:.W:. Harold D. Knarr, DDGM, Dist. 42 This Special Communication was ordered by M:.W:. Ben B. Boyles, Grand Master, even though a previous cornnitmeht prevented him and a number of other elective and appointive Grand Lodge officers from being present. The accumulation of date requests and many activities, therefore, caused him to request M:.W:. Arnett to officiate In the setting of the cornerstone and the dedication of the new temple of Belleville Lodge No. 129; Also, as M:.W:. Arnett is a Past Master and plural member of Belleville Lodge, It was thought appropriate that he be called to officiate in the Grand Master's absence. After the opening of Grand Lodge, the officers were instructed to meet a short distance from the lodge to join in a parade conducted by the lodge and joined by many other military and civic orders at that-time. The parade was something better than onehalf mile in length and included many Shrine units, military escorts. Knights of Columbus, various youth groups, and floats,from regular lodges of the county.

On returning to the temple, the ancient ceremony of cornerstone laying was performed. Following the cornerstone ceremony, the ladies and friends who had assembled were asked to go inside the new building and participate, or witness, the dedication ceremony. There are few times when there are more people than room in a lodge to accommodate them. But this was the case on this date. The hall Itself was filled to capacity which made it Impossible for the Grand Lodge officers to form in formal procession. Persons were standing down the hallways leading Into the lodge room with an effort to at least hear part of the ceremony. Following the conclusion of the ceremony the Grand Master expressed his sincere appreciation to all of those who had participated in making this program possible. He gave -special recognition to the Masons and Eastern Stars of Belleville, citing them for their progressive thinking and diligent effort. W:. Owayne Becker, Master of Belleville Lodge No. 129, was called upon and gave a short response expressing appreciation to all of the brothers and ladles of Belleville, particularly the lodge and the Eastern Star, for their cooperation and assistance, efforts and donations. He also advised there would be a luncheon served following the ceremony. H:.E:. Kenneth V. Moses, Grand High Priest of the M:.E:. Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons and Past Worthy Grand Patron of the Grand Chapter, Order of the Eastern Star, was then called upon for an address. He responded in an appropriate and beautifully worded message giving praise and inspiration and expressing appreciation for this occasion In the fraternities of life. He spoke eloquently on Masonry in this part of Kansas and hoped the enthusiasm and zeal would continue to inspire not only those In the community, but throughout the whole state for many years to come. Several remarkable things were noted on this occasion. M:.W:. Carroll Arnett, as Past Grand Master and a member and former Past Master of Belleville Lodge, was officiating In be half of the Grand Master. Although this has occurred in the past, it has been many years since a Past Grand Master has performed in this capacity in behalf of his own home lodge. Also, the participation of three other Past Grand Masters as Deputy Grand Master, Grand Senior and Grand Junior Warden was unprecedented In our times. TU» I lie

Grand Lodge of Kansas

REPORT OF THE GRAND SECRETARY To the M:.W:. Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: Once again it becomes my duty to make report of the affairs and doings of this office for the year 1981, including an estimation of the income and expenditures for the ensuing year. (ARTICLE VI, Section 9, By-laws 2-110 and 2-111.) Annual Reports This year we come before you again noting that several lodges have not completed their reports at the time we prepared this report. From the statistics at the close of the report, you will see we have again sustained a loss in net membership. For a time, there were signs indicating our death rate might be declining. But at year's close, about the same loss margins again appeared. Of interest and perhaps of a more encouraging nature, we do find many new Master Masons being received into the Fraternity and with them, we hope, a sustained enthusiasm and desire for continuing progress through the years. Dues and Per-Capita Tax The question concerning per-capita tax has again surfaced. When dues are collected for a specific year, per-capita tax is included. A lodge collecting dues for and in any given year should not spend this sum for anything but per-capita tax. Several lodges reported not being able to pay their per-capita tax for 1981 until receiving dues for 1982. This is incorrect, and should not be done in this manner. Properly handled, if per-capita tax funds were placed in a separate account at even simple interest, the lodge would gain an advantage and avoid the aforementioned situation. Consolidations Again, consolidations are on the increase. The ravages of inflation, need for additional funds and lack of interest, are all contributing factors. But none seems to be of a more vital nature than income. This year on a number of occasions I have admonished lodges to look well to their dues structure. Fifteen dollars has been cited as an absolute base minimum. Even as these words are written, I doubt if this sum would suffice. This has been said regardless of the size or location of lodges. District Deputy Reports One year ago, after study, the Council of Administration ordered that the District Deputy reports be compiled in the Grand Secretary's office. A closer study is being made of each report with the hope of finding answers toseveral of our more perplexing problems. We hope this will be of some benefit in the future for action badley needed and necessary to the continuance and well being of our Fraternity. Fires Once again two of our lodges have experienced the ravages of fire, smoke and resulting water damage. Vesper-Olive Lodge No. 136 was virtually destroyed by fire. Fortunately, they were already hard at work on the construction of their new temple and did have some insurance. Constellation Lodge No. 95 suffered considerable smoke and water damage caused by a fire in a nearby building. They too, fortunately, had some insurance coverage although in both cases, certainly, more funds were needed and it would have been desirable to have had more insurance coverage. Secretary Meetings - Solicitation of Funds This past fall I did make visitations to six locations throughout the Grand Jurisdiction for the purpose of meeting with lodge secretaries. This proved to be interesting and, I believe, the exchange of information helpful and constructive. We hope that It will be possible to continue these meetings. In this connection, I was invited by Mountain Slope Lodge No. 186 at Oberlin, to address an open meeting previous to the secretaries' meeting scheduled for that evening.

Proceedings of the

March

This was for the purpose of discussing the solicitation of funds for our Kansas Masonic Home and Foundation. Before doing so, I did obtain permission from our Council of Administration and the approval of the Home Board of our Kansas Masonic Home and the Board of Directors of the Kansas Masonic Foundation. The result was indeed a pleasant one. A pancake and sausage supper was arranged for this occasion. At the close of the presentation, funds were presented to me for transmittal to our Home and Foundation. Further, I am pleased to report that in four of the six secretaries' meetings, funds were handed to me for our Foundation "C" Club Program. Later on this morning I am sure that you will hear reports from the Foundation and Home Board and of the success of their programs. Grand Lodge Library Included in the already mentioned By-law 2-110, under sub-heading (a), the Grand Secretary is assigned the duty to "Act as custodian of the Grand Lodge Library and Museum". The intent and purpose of this law seems all too clear, yet I have found it a frustrating problem. As reported to you In past Annual Communication, a number of attempts have been made to recatalog and recodify our library. On assuming duty as Grand Secretary, I found this problem had also attracted the attention of others, including the Interim Grand Secretary. A real effort was begun and this was followed by additional attempts to fulfill the requirements of cataloguing this fine collection. Yet, on each occasion, time or funds and even death aborted our efforts. When sparked duty of and one

the cause seemed to have been lost, a chance conversation with a colleague yet another effort. This brought into view an individual who would accept the recataloging the library. Needless to say, this required a person with ability located In the city of Topeka.

Fortunately, Mrs. Jan Becker, a former school teacher-librarian, was available and willing to accept the assignment and challenge to do the job. As an added bonus, she comes from a strong Masonic background which adds to the necessary requirements of this position. One year ago, report was made of the wise guidance given to us by Brother Keith Arrlngton, now retired from the Iowa Masonic Library, establishing the Dewey Decimal System in connection with our library. We are pleased to say that by following this lead, we have now recatalogued the Masonic Library. During the recataloguing. 54 volumes were found within the collection dating from 1698. With the assistance of the House of the Temple, Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of the Southern Jurisdiction, we did determine these books to be very valuable and have, therefore, placed them in the vault of the Grand Lodge Building. Their use can be had only at the Grand Lodge Building. In addition to the books directly relating to Freemasonry and Masonic subjects, we have a number of editions comprising a sizable collection in religion, science, history, and even some on law. We have, in fact, good reason to believe our history section is of a size and quality to permit a student to prepare a Master's Thesis. Inventory of the Library, M:.W:. Grand Lodge, A.F. & A.M., Kansas: The lower level Non-Masonic books; i.e., fiction, nonfiction, law, agriculture, city directories, literature, science, religion, history, philosophy - 2100. Also on the lower level: Proceedings and laws of the Kansas Grand Lodge; Proceedings of York Rite and Eastern Star, Kansas; Scottish Rite Proceedings, S.J. and N.J.; Grand Masters and Grand Secretaries Conferences; Masonic Education; and Bound Masonic Periodicals - 1200. Masonic Books on the lower level: General works; Masonic history; Philosophy; Degrees; Symbolism; York Rite; Scottish Rite; Masonic biographies; Anti-Masonry; Cerneauism; Customs and paraphernalia; Jurisprudence; Landmarks; Trials; Women in Masonry; Negro Masonry; plus other Masonic subjects - 1700.

Grand Lodge of Kansas

Included in our library is a private collection commonly referred to as the McFarland Collection. Many questions have been asked about the collection with few answers obtainable. Earlier this year I did write to Mrs. Helen Wilson Coates, granddaughter of our long time Grand Secretary R:.W:. A. K. Wilson, and a personal acquaintance. But this proved to be fruitless. Contact was also made with R:.W:. Kenneth Pomeroy, Assistant Grand Secretary during most of R:.W:. Wilson's 34 year tenure as Grand Secretary. R:.W:, Pomeroy is alert and has an excellent recall for all of his 93 years, but unfortunately could give little help in answering vital questions. The questions principally were: how was this collection to be used, and what were the stipulations in the will or bequest which brought these books to us. Mrs. Becker was given this assignment and did a thorough job in ferreting out much information, as well as an interesting, intriguing story concerning the collection being given to our Grand Lodge Library. Time and space will not permit complete review. However, after further study and investigation, and with the permission of our Council of Administration, I propose to give a separate report at some time in the future. For the time being we are going to catalogue this 5500 book collection using the Dewey Decimal System, but will not permit any of these volumes to be removed from the Grand Lodge Library. Basically, this is a collection of the classics and an extensive collection of civilization, history, general subjects and many of the great recorded manuscripts of modern time. We are now prepared to loan books to interested persons through their visitation to the Grand Lodge Library or through the mails. The user will be expected to pay the return mailing costs. In addition, we do ask you to handle these volumes with care. Their replacement cost is extremely high. This is your Library - we hope that you will use it. We know that it will benefit you if you do use it. But we ask that you assist us in our duty by asking assistance when seeking a particular volume. Further, be careful when browsing the Library to see that books are replaced in the exact place from whence they were removed. We received two volumes this year from W:. Raymond Neiswander, a Past Master of Lake Lodge No. 50, and a Past District Deputy. Added to the displays in the Grand Lodge Library, and property of the Grand York Rite Bodies of Kansas, is a crystal bowl presented by R:.W:. Vinton C. Fishel and R:. W:. Thomas L. Francis, both Past Grand High Priests of Royal Arch Masons in Kansas for 1975 and 1976, respectively. This beautiful, large crystal bowl is engraved with the emblems of Freemasonry. Also, you will find a very valuable certificate, or so we choose to call it, donated by Melvern Lodge No. 22. The brother who originally received this certificate carefully fashioned a beautiful case out of walnut as a frame and this, too, is on display. Further;, we encourage you to bring any of your mementoes, books, artifacts, coins, or other collectable items to the Grand Lodge for display. In this connection we proudly point to the Hall of Mementoes. Brother W:. William Nelson, a Past Master of Golden Rule Lodge No. 90 and a Past Grand Lodge officer, accumulated a sizable collection of Communication memorabilia through the years of his life. This collection was placed in 16 cases and donated to the Grand Lodge Museum. For a number of years these mementoes have been in a retired corner collecting dust. This past summer a corniceboard was installed in the hallway on the second level. With the assistance of the Assistant Grand Secretary, these items were placed in position for full viewing. Income and Expenditures On the following pages you will find an estimation of the income and expenditures anticipated for the year 1982. This was, as ever, a laborious job which was made easier with the assistance and advice of the Grand Lodge Committee on Finance and the Council of Administration. This estimation is, therefore, an attempt to combine their thinking with my own. During the past year we have had the unfortunate experience of increases far and above any imaginable to date. We had hoped to be able to sustain what would have been considered a reasonable increase of 7 to 9 per cent in several areas without coming before you to ask for an increase. Unfortunately we have experienced increases of 29 to 41 per cent in areas of health insurance and, of particular concern, utilities. Postage has also taken another dramatic Increase, so on and on it seems to go without letting up.

Proceedings of the

March

Our staff has made a real, sincere effort to hold costs and expenses to a minimum. I am, in fact, proud to bring before you a Financial Report which may be somewhat deceiving because of the small balance remaining as of this time. Consider, if you will, the fact that each time we have a decrease of 1,000 members, $5,000 is automatically lost from our income side of the ledgert Coupled with our losses from the past several years, this has indeed been a problem as we attempt to make wise and prudent stewardship of the funds you have allotted for operations. Interest income has been very beneficial to this point. With the assistance of the Grand Treasurer and the Committee on Finance, we have this year realized the largest return from interest yet experienced in Grand Lodge finances. The return from this source would, in fact, amount to about 55 cents per capita. With the possibility of lower returns for the ensuing year, yet another area of concern appears. Please do give this serious thought. Representatives may even find some of these experiences of benefit for use in their own lodges. Appreciation and Thanks Again, I would feel remiss if I did not mention the continuing fine efforts of the Committees of your Grand Lodge. They bring not only credit upon us, but information and assistance in many ways seldom visible and seldom recognized by the average member. To the staff of your Grand Lodge Office, I express my continuing appreciation of their efforts, and I name them one and all: R:.W:. David Recob; my secretary, Mrs. Jean Rader; Sister Lillian Wianti Brother Jack Werner; Mrs. Jan Becker and Mrs. Arlene Mahrle. To the Council of Administration and our Grand Master, a sincere thank you and deepest appreciation for your continuing efforts during the year 1981. We know that you will continue on and always be concerned in working for the best interests of our beloved Fraternity. To each member of the Craft, thank you for allowing me the opportunity of again serving you as Grand Secretary. Respectfully and fraternally submitted. Albert 0. Arnold, Jr. Grand Secretary

R:.W:. Albert 0. Arnold, Jr., Grand Secretary, presented the preceding report which, on his motion, was accepted.

ADDENDA GRAND SECRETARY'S REPORT Permission is requested to make an addenda to my printed report. The statements which I have made with reference to Income and Expenditures were written before the calT from the postal authorities advising of an increase in mailing costs of the Kansas Mason. They have more than doubled this cost. So it is that some necessary action will have to be taken at this Annual Conmunication over and above previous statements on the subject. (Approved as added).

Grand Lodge of Kansas

REPORT OF NECROLOGY COMMinEE M:.W:. Carroll C. Arnett, P.G.M., Chairman, presented the following report which, on his motion, was accepted. At the conclusion of the report, prayer was offered by W:. Conrad F. Johnson, Grand Chaplain. To the M:.W:. Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: Most worshipful Grand Master and brethren, it is with sorrow and sadness that we approach the time of recognizing the severing of links from our Fraternal chain of Brotherly Love. Yet we must accept the fact that the moment we are born, we are destined to die. All mortals must put on immortality in order that we may have eternal life. Since our last Grand Lodge Session, approximately 1,926 of our brethren have laid down their working tools of life, leaving us not to "fill their shoes", but rather to rededicate our lives to better serving God and man by more diligently carrying out the principles of our great fraternity. With one exception, the circle of our Past Grand Masters and present Grand Lodge Officers has not been broken this year. We are thankful that most of them are with us today to lead and direct us in the paths that lead to more glorious work. The one exception occured with the passing of M:.W:. Earl R. Brown who was Grand Master of the Masons of Kansas from March 13, 1958 to March 12, 1959. This devoted Mason was raised April 13, 1920 in Haviland Lodge No. 409, Haviland, Kansas; dimitted December 7, 1927; and was admitted to Plains Lodge No. 367, Plains, Kansas. This fine gentleman and devout Mason answered the final summons from above on February 9, 1982, at the age of 88 years, 5 months, 13 days. A Special Conmunication of the M:.W:. Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Kansas was opened in Ample Form by M:.W:. Ben B. Boyles, Grand Master, for the purpose of attending the funeral service of our departed Brother. At the Plains Cemetery, W:. Herman A. Shorb of Fargo Lodge No. 300 gave the Masonic graveside service in a proficient and meaningful manner. We are thankful for the enrichment our departed brethren have brought to our lives, and for the service they have given to our fraternity. Man is born broken. He lives by mending. The grace of God is the glue. We were also saddened and report with sorrow the passing of three of our Past Grand Master's wives: Minnie Hill, wife of late Past Grand Master Ferris M. Hill; Pearl Baumgartner, wife of late Past Grand Master Karl J. Baumgartner; and Kathryn Becker, wife of Past Grand Master Richard L. Becker; also, Betty Boyles, wife of M:.W:. Ben B. Boyles, while he was serving late in his year as Deputy Grand Master. To each of these devoted mates we write and pause to reflect on their untiring efforts as "behind the scenes" workers. You are writing a Gospel, A chapter each day. By deeds that you do. By words that you say. Men read what you write. Whether faithless or true; Say, what is the Gospel According to you? Respectfully submitted. Carroll C. Arnett, PGM, Chairman REPORT OF THE COUNCIL OF ADMINISTRATION R:.W:. Albert 0. Arnold, Jr., Grand Secretary, gave the following report of the activities and meetings of the Council of Administration during the past year. On his motion, the report was adopted:

To The M:.W:. Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. Of Kansas: Four official meetings were held during the year and. In addition, a number of discussions by members of the Council. A total of 109 Items were reviewed. Several requests for charitable assistance were reviewed and granted or denied on the merits of each case. The recalibration of mileage allowance to lodge representatives was authorized using the Kansas Motor Carriers Manual as a guide for this purpose. Lodges were again Instructed to forward lists of conmittees to the Grand Secretary. (See By-law 3-317) The Grand Secretary was Instructed to continue the compiling and study of the District Deputy Grand Master reports of official visitations. The names of Grand Representatives to other Grand Jurisdictions were announced by the Grand Master and can be found in his report. Because of cost factors, the List of Lodges was authorized to be updated on an alternating basis. This will mean an update to constituent lodges every other year. Several questions for interpretation were referred to the Grand Master. Several Waivers of Jurisdiction were given to Kansas residents to petition other jurisdictions. Likewise several waivers were received from new residents to petition Kansas lodges. Note was made of the extreme difficulty encountered in connection with the holding of the Annual Communication. The principal cause being the State Basketball Tournament and the resulting demands for housing and other accomodations. The decision was to hold the Annual Coimiunication of 1982 one week later on the third Friday of March. Six lodge consolidations were reviewed and allowed. tical report.)

REPORT OF THE KANSAS MASONIC FOUNDATION. INC. W:. William E. Bogue and Brother Curtis W. Cary gave a joint report on the operation of the Kansas Masonic Foundation for the past year - each expressing appreciation to M:.W:. Richard D. Kelsey for his assistance throughout the year and in preparing this report. On a motion, the report was accepted. To the M:.W:. Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: "There is good news and there is bad news." This is an over worked expression, but it certainly sunmarizes this report of the past year's activities of the Kansas Masonic Foundation. First, let's take up the "good news". A Challenge - A Response One year ago in our report to the I25th Annual Communication of this Grand Lodge, we challenged the Masons to "get off the pill" as far as Masonic charity was concerned. My, what a difference a year can make. This is not to say that we have reached our goal for charitable giving among the craft, but certainly the response to this year's appeal has been most encouraging. "C" Club The Trustees of your Foundation in their 1981 Annual Meeting determined to develop a meaningful fund raising program that would recognize those who support this Foundation. The "C" Club was developed to fulfill this need. Each Lodge who had three or more members who contributed ten dollars or more would be entitled to a plaque with these members' names engraved upon it. Additional names are furnished the lodges to be added to the plaque as the gifts come in to the Foundation. The "C" pin is a special recognition of those who support the Foundation with $100 or more. This beautiful lapel pin was created especially for this purpose and most certainly will become collectors' items because of the limited number of pins that were created. 231 of our brothers have received these pins. The "C" Club recognition awards not only serve to distinguish those who support the Foundation, but also should serve as notice to those who have not yet participated, that the opportunity to support Masonic charity is afforded them through the Kansas Masonic Foundation. There have been 274 of the 389 Lodges that have qualified for "C" Club plaques. These are being prepared and presented at this time. A total of 3,220 Masons have supported this campaign, with total funds raised as of February 1 of $107,279.05. To accomplish these results, in a period of economic decline is most gratifying and will enable this Foundation to better serve mankind. Masonic Oncology Center Your Trustees agreed to an expanded program of support to the Masonic Oncology Center at the Kansas University Medical Center in Kansas City. The additional support is to allow for the treatment of youth in addition to the ongoing adult program. This not only enhances the treatment, but also furnishes to this age group a psychological lift, being treated as young adults rather than with the "kids". Your gifts allow us to provide $53,397.00 of support for this program this year. This service to mankind is praised by Masons and non-Masons alike as a true gift of charity. You need only to visit with one who has been treated at the Center, to realize that you have truly given a gift of love in supporting this program. Student Loans One of the earliest programs established by your Foundation, the student loans, continue to attract much attention from those wishing to further their education. A total of 32 student loans have been made since the program's inception, and currently there are 13 active loans. It is very rewarding to meet and follow these young persons through their college education and see them assume leadership roles within their communities. Since December, two young men that had participated In this program have offered their talents to the Grand Lodge of Kansas. Hhat better proof can there be of this program, when one

utilized It, then established himself In a new career, and only recently has returned to'lead this Foundation. Executive Director Sorrowfully, we must now turn to the "bad news" of this report. In October of 1981, the Board of Directors received word from William ÂŁ. Bogue, our Executive Director, that he had a health problem which required surgery and that may require an extensive period of recuperation and, perhaps, may eventually require his leaving this position. Your Directors granted Bro. Bill sick leave and prayed for quick and complete recovery. In January, 1982, Brother Bogue made the decision that It was In his best interest and In the best Interest of this Foundation that a.transition be made to a new Director, and that he would be willing to work with him during a training period. The Board of Directors, reluctantly, accepted his resignation on Oanuary 15, to be effective February 1. The great appreciation the Board has for Brother Bill and the leadership he has furnished to this Foundation over the past 14 years Is best expressed by a letter drafted for the Board by M:.W:. Owen E. Hodgson, a copy of which follows: Topeka, Kansas January IS, 1982 Mr. William E. Bogue, Executive Director Kansas Masonic Foundation P.O. Box 1217 Topeka, Kansas 66601 Dear Brother Bill, It Is with sincere regret that the Board of Directors bf the Kansas Masonic Foundation accepts and approves your resignation as Executive Director of the Foundation as requested in your letter of same date. We express to you our deep appreciation and sincere thanks for your many years of loyal and devoted service to the Foundation. We trust that the association has been as pleasant and rewarding to you as it has been pleasing to us. That God may grant to you and Kathy a long, happy, fruitful life is our wish and prayer. Sincerely and affectionately, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS KANSAS MASONIC FOUNDATION By: Harold R. Fatzer, President Bill Bogue Coitments "It is ironic, to say the least, that after serving this Grand Lodge some 14 years, of which 9 of those years have been diligently pursuing funds and implementing programs in the field of Cancer care and research I found myself battling Cancer in my own body. I now know first hand, the anxieties and inner feelings of those patients I have had the privilege of talking with and encouraging, while visiting our Masonic Oncology Center." "The decision to resign my position as Executive Director was not an easy one, but one that I feel was both wise and prudent. I do take this opportunity to thank the Grand Lodge, the Foundation Board of Trustees and all Masons of Kansas for the privilege of being a part of this great work." "As I mentioned in rny letter of resignation, 'I feel the Foundation is like a flower, just ready to burst into full bloom. It will be both Interesting and gratifying to watch its further growth'."

Grand Lodge of Kansas

"For the past 12 years, I have known Curtis Gary, watching him progress through college, assisted by our Student Loan Program, then enter into Civic and Masonic affairs and make his way into the business world. It gives me much pleasure to now assist him as he takes on the responsibilities of the Executive Director of your Foundation. Knowing the abilities Curtis possesses and the support and assistance that can be had when Masons all pull together, I can see my vision for the future of the Foundation fulfilled." Masons well know that we must pass from darkness Into light. There always seems to be good news that follows bad. The good news that we can report now Is that Brother Bogue put us in contact with a fine young man, whom he felt could assume the role of Executive Director and maintain the confidence of those who have entrusted a part or all of their residue estates to this Foundation. Your Board of Directors interviewed Brother Curtis Cary on January 15 and, each party having been equally impressed with the other, entered Into an agreement for a new Executive Director comnencing on February 1. Brother Bogue has assisted with an orderly transition, while at the same time trying to complete the plaques for the Lodges. Meet Curtis Cary Brother Curtis Cary was raised on his family's farm near Downs, Kansas; the oldest of six children born to Howard and Joyce Cary. His father has been an active Mason for more than 25 years, was twice Master of Downs Lodge No. 204, and was District Deputy Grand Master in 1976. Brother Curtis became a Mason In 1976 and is a member of Topeka Lodge No. 17. Brother Cary first became associated with the Foundation when, at the age of 17, his parents brought him to Brother Bogue's office to apply for a student loan through the Foundation. The loan provided substantial help to Brother Cary as he completed his college education at Manhattan Christian College, where he received a B.S. in 1975, and at Kansas State University where he completed a major program In Journalism and Mass Communication. . For the past six years he has lived in Topeka and was Public Relations Director for the Kansas Motor Carriers Association, a state-wide trade association representing the trucking industry. Brother Cary comments, "The Foundation and Brother Bill have been Instrumental to me In my growth as an individual and as a Mason. I place great honor in the trust that he and the Board of Directors have placed in me. I believe in the Foundation and the good work that It has done and continues to dO', and will dedicate my best efforts In Its service." Lodge Foundation Committee The Kansas Masonic Foundation participated In the Masonic Education Workshops on "Standing Coinnittees" In the Spring of 1981. These events, sponsored by the Grand Lodge, were to train the "Standing Coitmittees" of the Lodge as set out in By-Law 3-317. The Lodge Foundation Committee Is one of these committees. Brother Bogue; working with a Trustee, attended four of these sessions, leading a workshop for the Foundation Committees. This cooperative effort is designed to strengthen the Foundation and the local Lodge. This training will continue In 1982. The "C" Club program Is an activity that each Lodge Foundation Committee should be using to promote interest within the Lodge and through this vehicle introduce all of the services and opportunities that the Foundation offers to the Craft and to the lodge. In Appreciation The Trustees of the Kansas Masonic Foundation are very appreciative of your support this past year. We sincerely hope that our stewardship of your gifts meets with your approval. The Foundation Is here to serve you and to serve mankind. Through generous support of the Masons of Kansas, we will endeavor to assist this Grand Lodge In fulfilling its charitable responsibilities. Fraternally submitted for the Board of Trustees, William E. Bogue Curtis Cary Richard D. Kelsey

PRESENTATIONS Merle L. Cochran, DD6H, #19, of Holton Lodge No. 42, presented a check to Brother Jerry D. Lindenbaum, Kansas Masonic Home Administrator. This check represented a 100% donation from his lodge to the Kansas Masonic Home Air Conditioning Fund. Representatives of Ancient Form Lodge No. 34 also presented a check to Brother Lindenbaum, fulfilling their three year pledge which was being met in one year.

REPORT OF THE KANSAS MASONIC HOME ADMINISTRATOR Following the abovementioned Presentations, Brother Jerry D. Lindenbaum submitted the folowing report which, on his motion, was adopted: To the M:.W:. Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: During my first two years as Administrator of our Kansas Masonic Home, you and I planned and executed the dream for a 120 bed addition to our facilities. The planning, frustration at times, and hard work, all culminated in the opening of our 120 bed Skilled Nursing addition on January 15, 1981. This event was by far the single most important step for Kansas Masonry in 1981. Becasue of this structure and the many surrounding ideals it beholds, a distinct impact has been made on the Craft and the Order of the Eastern Star. Not since I became Administrator in 1978, has the Brotherhood in our State come forth to recognize and identify with our Home with such fervor. We have a long way to go but the first steps have been taken. Along with the many new programs. Long Range Planning and the various other things to come, we at the Home are going to dedicate 1982 to the education, enlightment and enhancement of the Craft towards our Kansas Masonic Home. I feel this is of the utmost importance as we begin to make our long range plans. The knowledge of the Home, its operation and programs among the Brotherhood, will make it closer to the heart and thus we can derive more support for the Home. As 1982 unfolds, the Kansas Masonic Home is challenged to educate the Craft and Order of the Eastern Star, to enhance the principles of Free Masonry and our Kansas Masonic Home, in our Grand Jurisdiction. Repairs and Replacements Our regular program of repairs and maintenance has been followed this year. Much new paint was applied during the year. Me replaced two sewers during 1981, to the north of the East Office and in the men's bathroom on the West Side. The yard has been replanted in places and the gardens reworked. We plan to continue to upgrade the yard and gardens to eventually get them in excellent shape. Roof work and plastering and sealing of the East Tower area is currently underway. The Restoration and Waterproofing Company of Wichita is doing the work at a cost of 522,000. Our Architectural firm of Thomas, Harris, Ash and Mason has been reviewing items for long range planning and repairs. They are currently working on plans to add office space in the North Annex for our Director of Development. Finally, we have purchased the following pieces of equipment for nursing this year: 2 Lakeside Carts Suction Machine Wheel Chair Scale

Health Care Center After a fine State Licensure Survey and Medicare/Medicaid certification, we received our license as usual in November of 1981. Mrs. Wilson and her Nursing Staff, as well as Mrs. Millhauser from Housekeeping and Laundry; Mrs. Payne from Dietary; Mrs. Erhard from Activities; and Mr. Erhard from Maintenance and their employees should be congratulated on the fine jobs they have done during the year. As the Health Care Center opened January 15, 1981, M:.W:. F. Warren Starns was on hand to greet the new residents as they moved in. It was a special day for all Kansas Masonry. The Health Care Center is a year old and everyone is settled in. The new facilities are a joy to behold and is functioning extremely well. By-Laws, Rules and Regulations At the November 1981 meeting of the Kansas Masonic Home Board of Directors, the bylaws were amended to reflect a stronger statement about applicants falsely completing applications to the Home. Job's Daughters Project During this year the Job's Daughters made as their special project for the Home, the painting and carpeting of our West Lobby. The new look is beautiful and adds to the decor very much, and blends in well with the Job's project last year which was the reupholstering and buying of new furniture for the lobby. Worthy Grand Matron's Project Sister Joan Crotchett's project for the Kansas Masonic Home this year is to repaint the West Auditorium and replace the drapes. The painting is finished and the drapes will be added before Grand Chapter this year. To date, we have received a total of $4,215 from the Grand Chapter for this project. Air-ConditionIng Project The air-conditioning project the Home started at Grand Lodge 1981 has progressed well as of January 1, 1982. The total proceeds as of this date are $106,428.96. We hope to complete the project by Grand Lodge this year. The air-conditioning was used for the first time last June and operated extremely well during the summer. Long Range Planning Committee The Long Range Planning Committee of the Home Board, under the skillful guidance of M:.W:. Dr. Forrest D. Haggard, PGM, was put back in action this year. They have had many fine meetings and are currently discussing a variety of topics. It is hoped that . a long range physical plant program as well as an operational program can be structured this year. Home Health Agency One of the new programs being developed at the Home this year is a Home Health Agency. This is an out-patient - out-reach program consisting of skilled nursing services, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and social services. The emphasis is to provide short term services to people both in our residential area and the surrounding comraunity of Wichita. These services are utilized to keep individuals from entering a health care center or hospital. We are developing this program in conjunction with Mrs. Esther Schmidt, R.N., and her staff on the West Side. It plans to be an exciting new program and we are eagerly awaiting its development.

Speech and Hearing Under contemplation at this time, is the possibility of developing an in-house Speech and Hearing Clinic in conjunction with the Institute of Logopedics. This item is now before the Long Range Planning Comnittee. Medicare Mrs. Wyckoff, my Secretary and Kristi Champlin, Insurance Clerk have been working feverishly to get caught up on our Medicare coverages and payments for our residents. They are now almost current, and we have been receiving revenue from Medicare. The current status of residents under Medicare is going smoothly. Education We are continuing our efforts to provide education to our employees as well as students in the various health fields in the city. We have maintained our clinical programs with Wichita State University and Kansas Newman College Student Nurses, and added St. Mary's of the Plains College which is in conjunction with St. Joseph Hospital. Our Nurse Aide Training Classes are still graduating students. This year we added the Department of Counciling at Wichita State University to the list of intern programs for students which still include Health Care Administration, Gerontology, and Social Work. Masonic Home's Executive Association The 1981 conference of the Masonic Home's Executive Association of North America was held in Seattle, Washington last June. There were more than 30 Homes represented. We had quite an interesting conference which was hosted by Pete Lehman, Administrator of the Washington Masonic Home. My wife and daughter, Sara Elizabeth, accompanied me on the trip. During the proceedings, I was elected to the Board for a two year term. The 1982 conference will be held in June, 1982, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Director of Development John M. Myers was hired to begin duties as Director of Development on December 21, 1981. John was previously a Broadcast Announcer at KFH Radio in Wichita and will continue to be Director of Work in Wichita at the Wichita Consistory. John and his wife. Nan, have two children and reside in Wichita. We welcome John Myers to the Home Staff and look for great things to materialize from his expertise. Gifts and Special Contributions Gifts and contributions seem to be greater this year than last. All gifts are deeply appreciated. M:.W:. Brother Raum will comment on the extent of these in his report. West Side Residents and Staff of our West Side have enjoyed a nice year, especially in view of the air-conditioning last suiimer. Mrs. Evelyn Layman and Mrs. Esther Schmidt and their staffs have performed commendably and with the refurbishing of the West Side Lobby, it still remains a stand out. Health Insurance Our Home Employees this year have an alternative to the Blue Cross/Blue Shield Policy we o f f e r . This new program is called Health Care Plus, a Health Maintenance Organization that offers lower cost premiums and equal or more benefits than Blue Cross/Blue Shield. One-third of our employees have already signed up for this new coverage. Kansas Masonic Home Kids The Kansas Masonic Home Kids again held their bi-annual reunion August 15, 1981, in

Wichita. They toured the Home, reminisced, and generally had a wonderful time over the weekend. Over 40 attended their bi-annual reunion banquet at the Midian Shrine Temple that weekend. Amaranth The Grand Court of Amaranth presented the Home, at their annual session this year, four blood pressure cuffs. We deeply appreciate the Amaranth's support of the Home through the years. New Jersey Masonic Home This fall, several Board members and other distinguished Kansas Masons made a visit to the New Jersey Masonic Home in Burlington, New Jersey. This visit was made ,to view and discuss the New Jersey Home's renovation of their residential facilities and to discuss fund raising techniques. Administrator's Activities This year your Administrator was active in the Kansas Health Care Association, as Skilled Nursing Facility Chairman. I also served on the committee to review this year's rules and regulations and federal guidelines, of which we made recoirmendations to different and various State agencies on the impact of these regulations. I am now currently on a committee to review insurance in varing degrees for the Association. YEARLY RECAP THE KANSAS MASONIC HOME Census: Health Care Center Dec. Jan. Feb. Mar.

REPORT OF KANSAS MASONIC HOME DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT Brother John H. Meyers, Director of Development for the Kansas Masonic Home, made the following report which, on his motion, was accepted: To the M:.W:. Grand Lodge of A.F- & A.M. of Kansas: With this 126th Grand Lodge of Kansas, we celebrate our Masonry in this great state. As we come together to share our accomplishments, discuss and overcome our problems, and plan for the future, we Masons - as builders - look forward to strengthening our fine traditions, in addition to meeting the challenges before us. And spirits are equally high at your Kansas Masonic Homel This past year has been a good one. The much-needed air conditioning for our West Side Residents assured comfort during last summer's scorching temperatures, as your financial gifts continue to offset the great expense of this true example of Masonic Charity. To date, we have raised $118,359.81 toward our $210,000 goal which was set by you at our 1981 Annual Communication. And through your continued support, a beautiful new Health Care Center provides excellent service for today and tomorrow. The principles for which the Kansas Masonic Home stands are indeed at the very center of Masonry itself. We hear it in our Master Mason's obligation. We see it inscribed on our columns. We feel its glow in our great Masonic Lights. In a passage from 1 Corinthians we are reminded of our more universal obligation: "And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three: but the greatest of these is charity". 1981 was the best year in recent memory in terms of your generosityl Your individual gifts, including estate bequeaths, to the Home totaled over a million dollars. As most of you are aware, we have fallen considerably short of our stated 4 x 4 New Health Care Center Fund Goal. To date, we have received approximately $230,000; with pledges not-yet-met equalling around $120,000 - one-tenth of our original 4 x 4 goal. Your 4 x 4 contributions and any unrealized pledges are certainly welcomed ... and appreciated. What is charity? It is something we give with absolutely no assurance of return. Do we feel compelled to give only out of an abstract sense of obligation? Or, very simply, is charity an act of love? And what does the performance of this act of love do for a person - or persons - we are charitable towards? I submit to you that the act of giving is a lesson for us in being bigger than ourselves. Of course, the act of giving often makes us, as givers, feel good; but more . inportant than that, is the sense that you are making somebody else - your brothers and sisters - feel good! Selflessness ... charity ... love. to do.

So simple a process, and yet at times so hard

Brethren, your Kansas Masonic Home needs you. Our West Side air-conditioning project serves as an example of how your support can make a difference. As of March 17, 1982, with 389 reporting lodges, only 85 lodges have met or exceeded their $3.00 per capita goal. 120 lodges report no contributions. For those of you meeting and exceeding your goal, we thank you. We thank all who have contributed. To the remainder, we would say, simply, your Kansas Masonic Home needs you. The Office of Development at your Kansas Masonic Home looks forward with excitement to the way our continued growth and well-being can be directly proportionate to the growth and well-being of Freemasonry in the state of Kansas. We provide a speakers bureau for the purpose of educating the Craft on our goals, at the same time giving us the opportunity to meet and communicate with you. Let us help generate attendance at your meetings, while bringing the Kansas Masonic Home story directly to ^ou^. You may look forward to a new Masonic Home Newsletter telling you of current prograjns and other news, as well as dates we will be visiting your area. Remember the Kansas Masonic Home in your estate planning.' Let us work for you while you're alive. In order that you receive a fair tax advantage, while helping support your Masonic Home. We would be happy to visit with any of you - or your constiuency - at your convenience, to discuss several exciting avenues toward making your charitable contributions be of advantage to you today - and to your loved-one in the future.

Proceedings of the

March

In the coming months we look forward to sharing the excitement of growth Into a new century at your Kansas Masonic Home. As we look specifically at updating of facilities in our dining room area, residents' apartments, as well as utilization of the old Infirmary space and North Wing of the Home, we will be enlisting your input and support. When one considers the needs of the elderly in our-sate where the population over the age of 60 is nearly 20% - a state that ranks 7th of all states in percentage of population over 65 - where the increasing number of older Kansans is.indeed increasing (In fact, there are more Kansans over 60 than under 16)., then I think you begin to understand - and share in - the excitement we feel in meeting the challenge at your Kansas Masonic Home. Before concluding, I would like to share with you one way that the Craft In Kansas can help their Home while honoring the memory of a Great HasonI I speak of our H. Jackson Staton Memorial Project. The late M:.W:. Brother Staton served as Grand Master from 1970 to 1971. M:.W:. Ben Graybill describes Brother Jack in his History of Kansas Masonry as "exercising his talent to unify the thinking of his Council of Administration, so that continuity would exist in the implementation of many constructive programs for the benefit of Kansas Masonry". As you know, a program for funding of rooms and furnishings in the new Home Health Care Center affords individuals and organizations the opportunity to fund the furnishings of a room, the room itself, or both, in the name of that individual or group. A beautiful name placque Is then placed on the door of that room as a living memorial to the selfless charity so befitting our Craft. The cost of furnishing one room is expensive - $5,000. To offset the total expense of a Health Care Center Room, $40,000. We appreciate the efforts of Ancient Form Lodge No. 34 in.Lenexa, as well as the generosity of the Will Price Family in Wichita, for becoming Room Sponsors already. Today, we re-commit ourselves to raising $40,000 In Jack Staton's name for Room 104. This room, located on the first floor, west wing of the Health Care Center, is symbolic of Brother Jack's stewardship to Masonry, and will serve to remind us all of this commitment and our own renewed sense of stewardship to our Craft. Your tax-deductible contributions can be made directly to the Home Office of Development, in the name of The Jack Staton Memorial Fund. Brethren, you are the reason there is a Kansas Masonic Home. The Kansas Masonic Home is ^ou^l We hope to strengthen our bond with you. Your generosity is not only at the heart of all Masonry; it is appreciated in a heart-felt way by the Residents of your Kansas Masonic Home. As in the passage from Corinthians, perhaps it is charity within our Craft that makes us most unique. Our stewardship towards one another exemplifies this greatest of all Masonic Virtues. In the coming weeks and months, I hope to visit with as many of you as possible - in your Blue Lodge, Eastern Star Chapters, High Twelves - wherever good Masons meet; as together we conmit ourselves to our Masonic family ... and your Kansas Masonic Home. Respectfully submitted. John M. Meyers Director of Development

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN RELATIONS M:.W:. Forrest D. Haggard, P.G.M., Chairman, presented the following report which, on his motion, was accepted: To the M:.W:. Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: This committee wishes to thank M:.W:. Ben B. Boyles for his appointment and his confidence in them. We are greatful to the Grand Lodge Office for their excellence in correspondence, comnunlcation and record keeping. Our Grand Secretary, with the help of others such as Brother Biard C. Strain, has helped keep conmunlcations open and clear by prompt and courteous reply and by translating where it was needed. Our thanks to the Office of the Grand Representative. He feel this area of our Fratternal Relations could well be Increased and emphasized. Many of our Grand Representatives are unaware of the duties, responsibilities and limitations of their office. Some Grand Representatives do an excellent job in contact and fraternal fellowship.

1981-82

Grand Lodge of Kansas

Fraternal Relations is more than just "communication" between Grand Jurisdictions. Many delicate and difficult problems can arise when Lodges or Individual Masons transgress known Masonic law or protocol. We seem always to need to learn that each Grand Lodge is a self governing entity with great powers and perogatives within its own territory and that that territory covers more than just geographical space. A Grand Jurisdiction may hold authority over any and all Masons who belong to it. All correspondence and communication that has anything to do with relationships between a Lodge and another Grand Jurisdiction must flow through the office of our own Grand Lodge. One of our Kansas Lodges failed to correspond through our Grand Lodge Office and consequently conferred degrees on a suspended Mason from another Grand Jurisdiction. The Grand Lodge of Italy was very much in the media. I counseled patience and quietness. It was good counsel and where followed was of benefit. The matter was blown much out of proportion by news media and should serve as a reminder that those who oppose Freemasonry are all about us. We also need to be reminded that: "publicity" is not necessarily the great thing that we want to have happen to Masonry. We are glad that the Grand Lodge of Italy has proceeded to handle its own internal affairs and that regular Freemasonry has prevailed. We had several inquiries concerning the "change" in the Roman Catholic Church towards Freemasonry. As far as we can ascertain there has been no "official" change in the doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church towards "secret societies" in general and FreeMasonry in particular. We have noticed, since Rope John Paul II, a seeming return to a much stricter interpretation of Roman law. When asked for an opinion the chairman of our committee and our Grand Master jointly issued the following statement: "Several Catholic Bishops, in the U.S.A. have stated that they will not excommunicate Catholics who are Freemasons. In any and all instances, it would seem to us that Roman Catholics who are members of the Masonic Fraternity must be free to make their own decisions in the matter. In no instance should any Freemason make any disparing remark about the Roman Catholic Church nor about any other form of organized religion that is unjustly critical of or uninformed about the Craft. The membership of the Craft is not to engage in disputes nor quarrels with others concerning membership in Freemasonry. At all times, it is our privilege to state, however, that Freemasonry is not an organized religion and does not oppose nor seek to destroy organized religion; and that we base our beliefs upon the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man." Your committee has, as it has always done, counseled the Grand Secretary not to send the mailing lists to any of the Grand Jurisdictions. In fact, it seems almost apparant that the requests are from an irregular source. Your committee has picked up what seems to be an increasing number of responses to "anti-Masonic" feelings. We would not state that there is a growing "anti-Masonic" stance being generated but there has always been some religious or politically motivated antagonism. We feel that-the best answers to such criticism is contained within our own teachings. Where Freemasonry is practiced as it is taught, then there will be right and good answers. The "recognition" of each other is important. It is, in fact, the basis for our Masonic understanding and trust on an individual basis. From time to time we recommend the granting or withdrawal of "recognition" and this is more than just a matter of form. For example, we are watching, carefully, the return of recognition to the Grand Lodge of Cuba and will, in time, have a reconmendatlon on this matter. Recognition is necessary. Any group could form an association and adopt the word "Masonic" in its title, but that would not make it a part of the Masonic Brotherhood. Our high standards, forms of recognition, and moral teachings must be kept pure and recognition is the best method we have of control. We appreciate your help and understanding, as you travel and or correspond with other Grand Jurisdictions, in maintaining "regular" Masonic fellowship. In conclusion, we move the adoption of the following: 1. Acceptance of the printed report. 2. Whereas this Grand Lodge, at its 1973 Annual Cotmunication, did extend formal recognition to the Grand Lodge of South Africa; we, therefore, request the office of the Grand Secretary to enter into normal channels of cormunication and offer to exchange Grand Representatives with the Grand Lodge of South Africa.

Proceedings of the

March

3. We request that our Grand Lodge make a study of the Office of Grand Representative with intent to increase responsibilities and accountability of the office. 4.

Acceptance of this entire report.

Each of these motions was approved. Fraternally submitted, David L. Recob Lloyd D. Crall Forrest D. Haggard, Chairman

REPORT OF OPERATION "KAN"COMMITTEE W:. Glenn L. Knapp, Chairman, Gave the following report which, on his motion, was adopted: To the H:.W:. Grand Lodge of A.F. 4 A.M. of Kansas: A program designed to render aid and assistance to the newly made amputee and their family has reached many people this past year. Besides helping several people in Kansas, due to the efforts of the editor of the Lifestyle Section of the DAYTON DAILY NEWS and your chairman, forty-seven requests for the book OPERATION "KAN" have been received from Ohio: six from teaching institutions and hospitals; six from nurses and rehabilitation workers; one church; fourteen uncommitted (these letters and notes appear to be from amputees or requests for amputees); twenty known requests were from amputees, friends or relatives of amputees. This is Brotherly Love in Actionl Fraternally submitted, William J. Colnar Glenn L. Knapp, Chairman

REPORT OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS COMMITTEE W:. John A. Schowalter, Chairman, submitted the following report which, on his motion, was accepted: To the M:.W:. Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: Again this year, your Public Schools Committee has endeavored to continue and Improve the programs that it has developed to support and promote our free public school system; that is, the statewide Scholarship Essay Contest for seniors in the public high schools of Kansas, and the promotion of American Heritage - Public Schools Month. The responsibilities of this committee are described in Section 2-123C of the Grand Lodge By-Laws. Essay Contest The topic of this year's Essay Contest was "Private Education vs. Public Education" which proved to be very successful. Many of the essays dealt with the problems in our public schools today and indicated a great deal of thought on the part of the writers. The scholarship awards were in the same amounts as the two years previous, that is: $1,000 for first place; $700 for second; $400 for third; and $150 for fourth place to each boy and girl winner. There were also three Honorable Mentions in each category that carried no scholarship award. The recipients of the 1981 Essay Contest Awards are:

The committee was assisted again this year by Brothers Royal B. Brown of Leavenworth, Conrad F. Johnson of Sabetha and William F. Mcintosh, P.G.M., of Clay Center who served as judges for the Essay Contest. American Heritage - Public Schools Month The month of February was proclaimed to be American Heritage - Public Schools Month by the Honorable John Carlin, Governor of Kansas, on January 22, 1982. Present for the signing of the proclamation were R:.W:. Albert 0. Arnold, Jr., Grand Secretary, and the chairman of this committee. A letter was sent to the Worshipful Masters of all lodges requesting them to hold special programs during February in celebration of American Heritage - Public Schools Month. Special Project One year ago this committee initiated a project to encourage all the local lodges in Kansas to purchase copies of the book "Why Public Schools" by Illustrious Henry C. Clausen, 33 , and to present one to their local public and school libraries. Many lodges responded, and their libraries now have this fine book on their shelves. However, if your lodge has not, we hope that it will do so during the coming year. The Grand Secretary's office still has these books in stock at $5.00 each postpaid. Recomnendations It is the opinion of this comiittee that the scholarship awards should be broadened to Include a fifth place. We, therefore, recoimend that the 1982 Scholarship Essay Awards be as follows: $1,000 for first place; $700 for second; $500 for third; $300 for fourth; and $100 for fifth place - to each boy and girl winner. There would also be three Honorable Mentions in each category as in the past. Realizing that it is becoming more and more difficult to finance the programs of the Grand Lodge, including the Essay Contest, we recomnend that the Council of Administration approach the Trustees of the Kansas Masonic Foundation about the possibility of setting up a special fund within the Foundation to finance scholarship awards on a permanent basis. Under such an arrangement, there would always be money available for scholarship awards even if the method for awarding these scholarships is changed from an Essay Contest to something else sometime in the future. This would also give Brothers across the state a chance to participate in this program through their tax deductible gifts and bequests, and to know that their money would be used for scholarship awards in perpetuity.

Proceedings of the

March

Conclusion We would be remiss if we did not offer our thanks to the many brothers whose work and support makes the Public Schools programs possible. First, to our Grand Master M:.W:. Ben B. Boyles, a special thanks for giving us this opportunity to serve the Craft, and for his strong support and encouragement during the year. To our Grand Secretary and Assistant Grand Secretary and their staff, our thanks for all their hard work and support. To M:.W:. William F. Mcintosh, P.G.M., our thanks for his support via the Kansas Mason. And last, but certainly not least, we thank our Essay Contest Judges for their assistance and advice. A final note. Brethren: Our public school system in this country is in trouble. It has been estimated that a new private school opened in the United States e'^iery seven hours, on average, during 1981. This flight from public to private schools is partially due to attempts to avoid integrated school systems, but more often it is caused by parents seeking better education for their children by avoiding the problems in our public schools. Most of the young people who participated in the Essay Contest recognized these problems and discussed them in their essays. This committee, of course, wants your continued support as lodges for the Essay Contest and American Heritage - Public Schools Month. But, your local public school system also needs your Individual involvement and support NOW. Let your local school official know that you support quality public education for our young people and that you are willing to donate time and talents toward that end. Your involvement will be the best investment you can make in the future of our public schools and our country. Fraternally submitted. John A. Schowalter, Chairman Jimmy 0. King James R.

GRAND LODGE PUBLICATIONS M:.W:. William F. Mcintosh, P.G.M., Chairman, gave the following report which, on his motion, was adopted with the addenda that The Kansas Mason paper be issued four times annually instead of six times as has been done in the past. To the M:.W:. Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: Again, six issues of The Kansas Mason have been published during the year with an eight page edition in August.

Proceedings of the

March

Some of the "high lights" in the six issues were: * Grand Lodge was held in Salina for the first time since 1897. * Atchison Lodge No. 5 celebrates its 125th anniversary on May 2. * Hal stead Lodge No. 46 and Blue Hill Lodge No. 198 commemorate their 100th anniversaries on March 5 and April 1, respectively. * Kansas Lodge of Research approved by the Craft and constitution amended to provide for its charter. * Four Leadership Forums were held throughout the jurisdiction. * Periodic reports were given on the Masonic Home Air Conditioning project. * William E. Bogue resigns as Executive Director of the Kansas Masonic Foundation and Curtis W. Cary was appointed as his successor. The budget allowance of $31,500 was fairly well met for this year, but with additional postage costs and paper expenses, a raise appears to be looming on the horizon. Once more, this is your publication as well as being the voice of Masonry in Kansas. It would be appreciated if more lodges would send in items for printing. We thank our Grand Master, M:.W:. Ben B. Boyles, for his trust and appointment to this committee. We consider it an honor to have served him in this capacity.. Fraternally submitted. William F. Mcintosh, Chairman Oscar Smith, Member

REPORT OF TOTAL YOUTH COMMIHEE W:. Benford E. Smith, Chairman, gave the following report which, on his motion, was approved: To the M:.W:. Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: Being fully aware of your interest in our youth, we come before you with a proposal. As we have witnessed these young people perform throughout the year, it is hoped that this will live forever in the minds of you that saw them. We know that you believe that these young people are the future of Masonry and its affiliated organizations. We believe those future leaders must be involved and active, and be given a chance to share their talents and expertise. The monetary contributions these young people have received from the Grand Lodge are very much appreciated; and it is the hope of the Total Youth Conmittee that this will continue with the consideration of an increase, if and when it is possible.

REPORT OF THE MASONIC EDUCATION COMMITTEE M:.W:. Richard D. Kelsey, P.G.H., Chairman, presented the following report which, on his motion, was accepted: To the M:.W:. Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: If there is any one phrase which could adequately sum up the year in Masonic Education, it might well be "settling the craft to work and giving them proper instruction". Action in Masonic Education began almost immediately after Grand Lodge with the Spring Workshops which offered training for the five "Standing Coimittees" as set out in our by-law 3-317. Masonic Workshop: "Standing Committees" The strength of a Lodge depends heavily upon the participation of its members. The committee system is an excellent way to build participation. Grand Lodge law provides that each Lodge shall have five standing comnittees. One on Charity, one for Masonic Education, a Public Schools Committee, a Finance Committee and one for the Masonic Foundation. There were four workshops held in the spring of 1981 for the purpose of defining the purposes of these comnittees and training the lodge committees in the performance of their duties. These workshops were held at Garden City, Hays, Wichita and Topeka. The participants at each of these workshops were divided into discussion groups according to their various reponsibilities and received brief instruction and plenty of time to exchange ideas and discuss their problems. Items offered for consideration were: Charity Committee: Freemasonry and Charity; Grand Lodge Charities; Lodge Charities - resources and responses. Finance Committee: Lodge financing, budgeting, auditing; Handling investments; Financing Grand Lodge. Masonic Foundation: Programs, projects, principles; Functions of a lodge committee; The Foundation as a tool of the lodge. Public Schools: Grand Lodge programs; Developing local support; Keeping active throughout the year. Masonic Education: Education - building stone or stumbling block; Program Interest for everyone; Making Masons out of members. The resp<5nse to these workshops were gratifying and much of the comment heard was to "do this again next year and get more of our committee people in attendance". Thus the first part of our beginning phrase "setting the craft to work". Fall Leadership Forums In an endeavor to "give them proper instruction" a new leadership forum was put together to train lodge officers. The material was gathered from business leadership courses, from other Masonic leadership courses and from the experiences of the members of the Masonic Education Eommittee in the field of leadership. Six forums were held at the following locations: Liberal, Hutchinson, Cherokee, Glen Elder, Lawrence and Oakley. The format of these events involved general sessions on "motivation" and "planning" and discussion workshops for "Wardens, Deacons and Stewards" and "Masters and Past Masters". Perhaps the success of these schools can best be indicated by some of the comments of those attending, as they indicated on the evaluation sheets that were completed at the conclusion of the meetings: "Very glad that I participated. Freemasonry."

I think we took a new look at the problems of

"It will make a better member of me by evaluating my participation in my lodge." "This is a school that is very much needed." "Being a new member of the Lodge, this meeting has given me the guidelines to be more effective." "Have these conferences at more locations throughout the state." "This is the type of thing I have hoped for.

I found no excess baggage this time!"

ADGM & DDGH Orientations Our comnittee has been called upon to hold two orientation sessions for Area and District Deputy Grand Masters. One was held during the sumner months to answer questions that had arisen to date among the Deputies and to plan for getting out attendance for the Leadership Forums in the fall. The responsibility for these meetings were divided

1981-82

Grand Lodge of Kansas

among the council of Administration and,the Committee on Masonic Education with each member responsible for two Areas. Some of the orientations were held between the two Areas, others were conducted in each Area and in two Areas a taped presentation and script was mailed to each Deputy with the Area Deputy responsible for seeing that it made the rounds. Response to these meetings was gratifying. The orientation for 1982 Area and District Deputies was planned for Rock Springs 4-H Ranch on February 6. At this all day session the Ritualistic, Committee, the Grand Secretary, the Council of Administration and the Committee on Masonic Education will join to inform and train the Deputies so that they will be able to get off to a fast start after taking office. 1982 Masonic Education Meetings Plans for the 1982 Masonic Education meetings have been finalized by the Committee. It is planned to have one meeting in each of the twelve Areas. This meeting will cornbine the training of the "Standing Committees" with the "Leadership Forums". There will be discussion workshops for each of the five standing committees and for Wardens, Deacons & Stewards, and Masters & Past Masters. The date and location for each Area meeting will be left to the decision of the Area committee consisting of the ADGM and the DDGM's. This group will also take responsibility in getting attendance at these meetings. Leadership teams are being trained to conduct these workshops. There will be four teams available which will enable four workshops on the,same day, if scheduling necessitates. This will also serve to cut down on travel as the teams are being formed in geographical areas of the state. It is hoped that since wach Area will have their own meeting, each Lodge should be able to get its officers and committees in attendance; and, thus, truly be able to gain information that will make for a more active lodge. Lodge of Research and Library The Committee on Masonic Education has given both physical and financial assistance to the Lodge of Research during this past year. We sincerely feel that this endeavor will benefit Freemasonry in the field of education in the years to come. Also, the updating of the Grand Lodge Library into a usuable commodity will be of great assistance both to the Lodge of Research and those interested in Masonic Education. Midwest Conference on Masonic Education Kansas was represented at the Thirty-Second Annual Midwest Conference on Masonic Education in the persons of R:.W:. Robert G. Jackson, DGM, W:. Arris Johnson and M:.W:. Richard D. Kelsey, all members of the Committee on Masonic Education. The 1981 meeting was held in the Grand Lodge Library at Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The 1982 Midwest Conference will be held in Wichita on May 6, 7 and 8. We are fortunate to have this conference back in Kansas and hope that many members of this jurisdiction will take this opportunity to attend. So Mote It Be; It is difficult to transfer a year's work into a few pages of record. It has been an enjoyable year of service for this committee to serve our Grand Lodge. We are indebted not only to the Grand Master, M:.W:. Ben Bpyles, for this opportunity, but to the Council of Administration for their support in carrying on our programs; to the Area Deputy Grand Masters and District Deputy Grand Masters for sharing the load of getting participation; and espectially to those lodges who availed themselves of the training offered. Their praise of our efforts made this year a success as far as this committee is concerned. There is much left to be done. We feel that we have only unlocked the door. We sincerely hope that others will build upon this'foundation. Fraternally submitted. Richard D. Kelsey, PGM, Chairman Robert G. Jackson, DGM Arris Johnson, GSD Irwin Gedney, ADGM Richard D. Overton

REPORT OF THE CHURCH-LODGE RELATIONS COMMITTEE W:. Robert Wallace, Chairman, presented the following report which, on his motion, was accepted: To the M:.W:. Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: It is important that individual lodges maintain a good rapport with the churches in the community it serves, as well as all church groups around the world. We must remain tolerant of each other's freedom of worship and praise of the Grand Architect of the Universe. It would be good if it were common knowledge that lodges promote church attendance. We should expect Masons to conduct themselves in a manner generally acceptable to the churches. We should encourage our brothers to worship in the community at a church of their choice. Knowledge of this emphasis would better our relationship with the clergy and the churches. This image could be greatly improved. We should invite the clergy to be guests at our lodge social and open events. This would be enlightening to them, and would surely lead to a lessening of tension between the church and the lodge. This could benefit the growth of masonry. When we invite clergy to participate in our activities that are open to the public or our families, we should give them the freedom of their style, culture and custom. Remember, they often are not masons and they are expected by their congregation to be a faithful representative of their religious preference. Let us not embarrass them by gasping if they make some small departure from our masonic protocol or ritual. They will do better as they learn more about us through cordial association. The observance of Saint John's Day could better our relationship with the clergy and could also promote some masonic education with the public. In reading obituaries in the newspaper it becomes apparent that family, pastors and funeral homes are not too knowledgeable of our nnasonic bodies. Lodges could make a list of the usual masonic organizations - with their proper names and in proper sequence - to share with the family, clergy and funeral homes for use in writing an obituary. It is good that we masons make a practice of contacting the family of a brother when we hear of his death. It would also be good public relations to make contact with the brother's clergyman to make sure he understands our concern for the brother, and so he will be informed to what extent his masonic lodges can be of help. The funeral of a brother is up to his family and church. We should be very careful not to invade the privacy of either. We sometimes tend to do this. Respectfully submitted, Robert W. Wallace, Chairman

PRESENTATION OF CHARTER M:.W:. Ben B. Boyles, Grand Master, presented the Charter issued to the Kansas Lodge of Research to M:.W:. Ben W. Graybill, P.G.M., Chairman of the Grand Lodge Library Committee.

REPORT OF GRAND LODGE LIBRARY COMMITTEE M:.W:. Ben W. Graybill, P.G.M., Chairman, gave the following report which, on his motion, was adopted: To The M:.W:. Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: In 1980, this cormittee was established by M:.W:. F. Warren Starns for the purpose of cataloguing and developing interest, throughout the Craft, in the Grand Lodge Library; to utilize the material after we learned what we had; and to set up a system of finding what we were looking for. As a result of the recommendations made at the 125th Annual Communication last March, the Council of Administration authorized the Grand Secretary to employ a qualified Librarian to complete the work began in 1980 under the guidance of Brother Keith Arrlngton, retired librarian of the Grand Lodge of Iowa. On April 15, 1981, R:.W:. Albert 0. Arnold, Grand Secretary, notified the Council of Administration that he had hired Mrs. Oan Becker of Topeka for this important assignment. Mrs. Becker has a degree in Library Science and "comes highly recommended". On January 27, 1982, the Grand Secretary informed this committee that the Masonic section of the library had been recatalogued, and approval was needed of the Grand Master and Council of Administration as to procedure to be used in loaning items from the library. We anticipate that this system will be activated shortlyafter this Communication Is closed. As reported last year. It was felt that the creation of a Lodge of Research would be the most effective means of developing Interest and utilizing the material we have available to us in the library. The Lodge of Research has been assigned the responsibility of planning and arranging for the three meetings when W:. Harry Carr, world renowned Masonic author and speaker, will deliver Masonic discourses at Shawnee Mission, Topeka and Wichita. If you value your Masonry, you will not miss this opportunity to meet and hear this eminent Masonic scholar. Past Grand Masters Starns, Kelsey or Graybill will direct you to the proper way to secure tickets for these events. In the Wichita area you can contact Floran Rodgers; in Topeka, Donald Hahrle or Merle Bradley; In the Kansas CityShawnee Mission area, William Colnar, Roger Seigel, Don Schoeni, Newt Skirvin, Walter Bird or Bob Boring. On Hay 1 W:. Carr will speak at Old Mission Lodge In Shawnee Mission. His subject will be "600 Years of Craft Ritual". Attendance will be limited to 300 Master Masons only. A banquet will be served at 6:30 P.M. Tickets are $5.50 which Includes the meal. On May 5, he will speak at the Masonic Temple, Topeka, on a subject designed for ladies' ears, so they are invited to attend also. Tickets are $2.00.

His final address will be in Wichita, Kansas, on May 8th at the conclusion of the Midwest Conference on Masonic Education. Kansas Lodge of Research Charter We have been informed that our Grand Master will issue a Charter to the Kansas Lodge of Research during this session. Assuming that this action will be taken, we invite all interested Kansas Masons to attend the first meeting of the KLOR which will be held in this auditorium immediately after the installation of the Grand Officers. We have reserved two tables located in the South Lobby of this auditorium. Officers of the newly created Lodge will be elected; By-laws will be submitted for approval; names of the elected officers of several divisions will be announced; and announcements of future activities will be made. The roll of Charter members will be held open to give every interested member an opportunity to enjoy this distinction. The Charter, list of officers and a complete roll of Charter members will be permanently displayed in the Grand Lodge Library and Museum. A distinctive membership card has been designed to indicate that the bearer is a Charter member. The Lodge will be authorized to: (1) Conduct research; (2) Hold discussions; (3) Gather and preserve Masonic information; (4) Assist in the maintenance of the Grand Lodge Library and Museum; (5) Supply papers and speakers to the Lodges, on request; (6) Conduct a program of general service in the field of Masonic Education and Information, subject to the provisions of the law. The first assignment of the Lodge is to sponsor the aforementioned speaking engagements of W:. Harry Carr who recently retired as Secretary of Quatuor Coronati Lodge No. 2076, London, the premier Lodge of Research in the world. At the Midwest Conference on Masonic Education in Wichita, the Grand Master will open Grand Lodge and the new officers of the Kansas Lodge of Research will be installed. Brother Carr will then address the audience. Should you attend our first meeting in the South Lobby, active members can provide you with Charter petitions for the KLOR; questions can be answered; and tickets for either of the two Carr meetings may be purchased. We are confident that in the future you will enjoy the distiction of having been a Charter member of this group which has the potential of being one of the most interesting and constructive units of Kansas Masonry. Respectfully submitted. Ben W. Graybill, P.G.M. Chairman REPORT OF THE MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION Brother Alvin K. Banman, Field Agent at the Leavenworth V.A. Medical Center, presented the following report which, on a motion, was accepted: To the M:.W:. Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: For the Hospital Visitation Program of the Masonic Service Association of the United States, we are pleased to make this report for the year of 1981. Our visitation program at the Leavenworth V. A. Medical Center is not an every day job. We usually visit patients in the hospital and the domiciliary on Fridays. However, on occasion we do call on patients other days of the week. Although we consider visitation of patients the most important part of our activity, we do participate in other parts of the voluntary service. Two services financed by the Grand Lodge of Kansas are the serving of watermellon at one of three carnivals, and the distribution of canteen booklets to patients at Christmas time. The Leavenworth High Twelve Club contributes $60.00, annually, to the Social Service Program of the V. A. Medical Center.

When we learn of patients being behind in the payment of their lodge dues, we assist them in establishing communication with their lodge and becoming members in good standing. Recently, a domiciliary resident was able to increase his pay by changing jobs at the V.A. - indirectly, we had a part in bringing this about. The pay is not something one would "write home about"; however, this brother was most pleased to receive $1.00 per hour rather than 45 cents. We also assist the voluntary service by providing escort service and decorating at Christmas. A new experience was when a widow asked that I assist with funeral arrangements for her deceased husband. During the icy conditions in January, it occured to us that wives of hospitalized husbands might have some errands that needed to be done (local residents) - this we responded to. Brother Glenn Knapp, M.S.A. Deputy Representative, assists in the hospital visitation program. M:.W:. Ben Boyle, Grand Master, and R:.W:. Albert Arnold, Grand Secretary, visited the Leavenworth V.A. Medical Center on December 11. 1981. We were pleased to have them as our guests at the Leavenworth High Twelve Club luncheon that day. In token of our love and appreciation of the Grand Master's visit to Leavenworth, we present the pictures taken during his visit. Respectfully and fraternally submitted, Alvin K. Banman, Field Agent

MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION OF THE UNITED STATES Brother Harley Henry, Sr., Field Agent at the Colmery-0;Neil V.A.

Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: The Masonic Service Association of the United States, working with Patients at the Veterans Administration Medical Center, Topeka, Kansas, is pleased to make this report for the year starting October 1980 to October 1981. We visited 209 Masonic brethren, 173 of whom were discharged, 9 died, and 27 are still in the Medical Center. There were 199 from Kansas, and of this number, 69 were from Topeka Masonic Lodges, and 10 were from other States. We participated in all activities of the Medical Center, including two Monte Carlo nights for the open wards, and two Carnivals for the closed wards. We furnished prizes and gifts for all such events. On July 4th, we served a Chicken dinner to 52 patients and some of their families, in Building #9. The Topeka Square and Compass Club furnishes cookies and coffee once a month for the patients in Building #3. On September 26, District 21 Lodges and Arab Shrine Temple sponsored a Watermelon Feed for all the patients. On November 10, M:.W:. Ben B. Boyles, Grand Master made his official visit to the Topeka V.A. Medical Center with 23 Brother Masons representing the 21st Masonic District of Kansas. The funds for all of our activities are from the Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Kansas; Topeka Lodge No. 17; Orient Lodge No. 51; Golden Rule Lodge No. 90; Siloam Lodge No. 225; Seabrook Lodge No. 385; and the Topeka Square and Compass Club.

TELLERS APPOINTED The Grand Master announced that time for the election of Grand Officers for 19821983 had arrived, and that the Area Deputy Grand Masters would act as Tellers. After receiving the ballots from the Grand Secretary, they were instructed to distribute them to the voting members present. After the balloting was completed, the ballots were collected by the Tellers who then retired from the Grand Lodge Room to tally the votes and prepare a report of the election results.

REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE M:.W:. Ralph D. Walker, P.G.M., Chairman, gave the following report which, on his motion, was accepted: To The H:.W:. Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: In accordance with By-Law 2-118 of the Constitution and By-Laws of the M:.W:. Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of Kansas, your Finance Conmittee has engaged the accounting firm'of "Farmis" to officially audit the books and make the necessary inspection of investments and properties. Their report appears elsewhere In these proceedings and is an addendum to this report. This committee has reviewed, monthly, the income and expenses of thi:s H:.W:. Grand Lodge and have found them to have been in accordance with our by-laws. In preparing this budget, the committee was assisted by the Grand Secretary and the Council of Administration. Because of lower Interest rates, this committee does not expect the Income from our investments to be as great as that of fiscal year 1981-1982 and, conversely, inflation has driven our expenses higher. In order to meet the necessary coniiiitments, a deficit budget was prepared. To offset that deficit, your committee recommends that this M:.W:. Grand Lodge increase its per capita tax by at least $1.00. The fiscal year of this M:.W:. Grand Lodge is February 1 to January 31; therefore, only 1/12 or 8 cents of the $1.00 increase can be budgeted for fiscal year 1982-1983. The committee commends the Grand Master, the Grand Secretary and the Council of Administration for the austerity in which Grand Lodge funds have been disseminated. The committee also thanks the M:.W:. Grand Master for the opportunity to serve this M:.W:. Grand Lodge. We, the committee, present the following budget for your consideration.

Fraternally submitted, John H. Murray, PGM, Chairman Albert 0. Arnold, Jr., Gr. Secy. Robert H. Arnold, PGM REPORT OF CORRESPONDENCE COMMITTEE M:.W:. Robert H. Arnold, P.G.M., Chairman, submitted the following report which, on his motion, was adopted: To the M:.W:. Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: My thanks go the Grand Master for providing me with an interesting, rewarding and time-consuming committee assignment. The Annual Proceedings of fifty-four Grand Lodges were reviewed by the Coimiittee, but the report this year will be different from those in the past. You will note there is no report of the Committee in your Advance Report. For many years, up to fifty pages were devoted to this report in both the Advance and Final Proceedings... I, personally, feel the set-up and reproduction of this report is very costly and, generally, is not read by many Brethren - especially in the Advance Report. Hence, it's absence. Depending upon the wills of our present and incoming Grand Masters, a new proceedure will be initiated. Since the report is always quite voluminous, and read by only a small percentage of the Brethren, it is proposed by this writer that each issue of the Kansas Mason carry a brief report on ten or more other Grand Lodges. Nature seems to dictate more interest and attention, and more readiness to read a short article, and veer away from a fifty page report. It is further proposed, because of printing costs in both the Proceedings and the Kansas Mason, that much of the extraneous material be eliminated altogether. It is unlikely that many of the persons reading these reports really care if "X" Grand Lodge is holding it's fifty-fifth or it's one-hundreth and fifty-fifth Annual Communication, or if said communication was held in Podunk Center or Boom City, or even if a Past Grand Officer passed on during the year. I find this type of information in many Correspondence Committee Reports. A copy of most Sister Jurisdiction's Proceedings is available at our Grand Lodge office for those scholars interested in this information. I feel the Craft of Kansas are more interested in happenings which can influence our Grand Lodge and our subordinate Lodges, actions which could increase membership, improve attendance, reduce suspensions and interest all Entered Apprentices into completing their degrees. The excerpts extracted by this Comnittee generally will be with these objectives in mind. There may even be some things entered only because they are interesting or whimsical. If it is the desire of our outgoing and incoming Grand Masters, there will be reports of this Committee in each edition of the Kansas Mason this year. M:.W:. Sir, again, thank

you for permitting me to serve on this Committee.

Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: The Ritualistic Committee held a meeting in Salina the second weekend of August with the Lecturer staff. A review of the ritual and floor plans was given our full attention. The format for the 1982 District meetings was formulated and studied. All District meetings were conducted in a very fine manner by the Lecturer staff. Some meetings had to be rescheduled because of poor weather. This was worked out by the District Deputy Grand Master and the Grand Lecturers. The Heyman plans. slides tion. we say

Ritualistic Committee wishes to commend R:.W:. Richard Haefele and W:. Paul of Ulysses for their work in developing a set of slides from the extended floor These slides were used in several Districts and were very well received. These should prove to be very valuable in promoting proficiency in this Grand JurisdicThis was a labor of love and should be appreciated by all the brethren. Again, "Thanks for a job well done".

This Committee is studying various ways of improving proficiency in this Grand Lodge, and we would be pleased to have any suggestions that might make our efforts more effective. Fraternally submitted. J. Fred Williamson, PGM, Chairman C. Travis Spencer John Stover REPORT OF GRAND LODGE ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE M:.W:. Chester L. Gilbert, P.G.M., Chairman, gave the following report which, on his motion, was approved: To the M:.W:. Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: The Grand Lodge Activities for the year 1981-1982 reports of the Masonic weekend, September 5 - September 7, at Rock Springs 4-H Ranch near Junction City, Kansas. This was the fourth year for the Retreat. Each year we have many who have attended previously and gain some new participants. At our weekend outing this year, we had three families with three generations attending. The time was spent in good Masonic fellowship from registration Saturday morning until Noon on Monday. Although the Grand Master's schedule did not permit him to attend, there was a good representation of Grand Lodge Officers together with our Jr. Past Grand Master, Warren Starns and his wife, Lois. With the assistance of the Grand Lodge Officers, Past Grand Masters and Activities Committee members, a sycamore tree was planted which bears the plaque, "Presented by the Grand Lodge of Kansas, 1981". This is a reminder to,all who walk this pathway that the Masons of Kansas are supporting youth activities in'the State of Kansas. Again this year on September 4 through September 6, 1982, we will be at this most beautiful spot in Kansas for our fifth Retreat. We hope all who have attended before will return and bring friends with them. Look for further information in the Kansas Mason. Fraternally submitted. Chester L. Gilbert, PGM, Chairman Harold F.

REPORT OF TRIALS AND PUNISHMENTS COMMITTEE M:.W:. Arthur C. Hodgson, P.G.M., Chairman, gave the following report which, on his motion, was adopted: To the M:.W:. Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: By its very nature this is not a pleasant committee to serve on. However, the members have been prompt and courteous in the performance of their duties and this always makes for ease of handling the business of the committee. Matters handled by the committee will be referred to by numbers only and a brief resume of the charges will be given so that anyone desiring to know something of the work of the committee may have a better appreciation of what is involved. 1. This case was developed by last year's committee, but it was tried and evidence submitted on March 21, 1981. The charges were aggravated assault and aggravated battery. The verdict of the committee was "guilty" and a penalty of expulsion was assessed. 2. A brother was charged with obtaining a loan of money by improperly using masonry as a means of securing the loan. A trial was held. The transcript of the trial was circulated to all members of the committee and by a vote of 3 to 2, the brother was found "not guilty". 3. A brother pleaded guilty to a felony involving marijuana. He was charged by his lodge and he pleaded "guilty". The committee reviewed the papers in the case and found the accused brother "guilty" and assessed the penalty as expulsion. 4. A brother was charged with corruptly influencing a witness. Considerable effort was expended in locating and getting a communication to the brother against whom charges were pending. Eventually, the brother entered a plea of "not guilty" and, as yet, arrangements have not been completed for trial. Word from the lodge is still being awaited. 5. This' case is pending on a charge that the brother received and disposed of stolen property. The brother has entered a plea of "no contest" in the court, but the information given to the committee seems to indicate that the brother is entering a plea of "not guilty" on the basis of no knowledge that he was receiving or disposing of stolen property. This case is yet to be tried. 6. A brother was charged with violation of secrecy of the ballot, but by direction of our Grand Master this matter was withdrawn from consideration by the committee. If a person were to sum up in one line what this year's cases have indicated to the conmittee, it would be that brothers should avoid all questionable situations. A lack of discretion seem to typify the problems in the cases we have handled this year. Respectfully submitted. Arthur C. Hodgson, PGM, Chairman F. Warren Starns, PGM J. Wayne Pipkin S.

REPORT OF JURISPRUDENCE COMMITTEE M:.W:. John H. Murray, P.G.M., Chairman, noted that most of the following report had been presented in the Report of the Constitution and By-Laws Committee. However, he felt it should be presented and discussed in detail at this time. Accordingly, each item was presented for action by the Grand Lodge. At the conclusion, the entire report was then adopted as acted upon by the assembled Brethren. To the M:.W:. Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: Introduction It is quite di.fficult to follow the M:.W:. Arthur C. Hodgson who has been Chairman of the Jurisprudence Committee for many years. So far as I know, we have had no problems of any consequence during the year, and certainly none that have required meetings of the committee except a meeting at this Grand Lodge Session to finalize this report. Report of The Council of Administration The Council of Administration has considered many matters concerning Masonry in this Grand Jurisdiction. We have considered the reports submitted to us by the Secretary and we recommend that the actions of the Council of Administration as reported by the Secretary be approved as being within the authority of the Council. (Approved.) Special Dispensations Our Grand Master has granted over seventy special dispensations during the year, most of which were for routine purposes such as changing time between degrees, installation of officers, changing time and date of meetings, changing times and dates of election of officers to fill vacancies and to remove charter for special meetings, and we recommend that they be approved. (Approved.) Rulings By Our Grand Master We have reviewed the rulings by our Grand Master and believe them to be correct. Many of these concern the interpretation of various sections of the By-Laws and does show the importance of studying the Constitution and By-Laws before making hasty

GRAND MASTERS RECEPTION A reception and dinner in honor of the Grand Master is to be held in the Student Union of Kansas State University at Manhattan, Kansas, on Saturday, April 24, 1982.

GRAND MASTERS ADDRESS The following is a message from Our Grand Master M:.W;. Robert G. Jackson. It was his intention to deliver this message after his installation, but for brevity it was omi tted: Recently I was conversing with a prominent member of the Craft at a noon lunch. The discussion turned to the problems of today's world and how the principles of Freemasonry could be applied to them. Our worthy brother explained he felt it was very difficult to apply the principles of Freemasonry in today's society. He felt the competition for the people's time was too great. Brethren, I say to you, never before have we been afforded, in such vast quantities, the freedom and the opportunity to apply the principles of Freemasonry to the needs of society. The opportunity to participate as Freemasons. Where preparation and opportunity come together we experience success. To better afford this opportunity to the Masons of Kansas, programs for the employment of more Masons in the functions of their lodge and thus in Freemasonry in Kansas have been designed. Preparations have been made to activate these programs. Some of these programs are: a vital and active Total Youth Program is being initiated. The Total Youth Committee has designed and will implement a program promoting Attendance, Cammunication and Encouragement. The Public Schools Committee will be seeking new and additional ways of expanding our widely recognized Essay Contest in the public schools of Kansas. The newly appointed Youth Recognition Committee will immediately go to work on a recognition program for the young men of this great state who advance to the rank of Eagle in the Boy Scouts of America. Numerous members of our Craft are a guiding influence in the lives of the youth around us. We need to show our appreciation. This committee will also seek out those members of the Craft who labor in the quarries of Scouting and establish a pro- .. gram of recognition for them. The Masonic Home will press on in the development of care standards which will help make this a better world in which to live for those who have gone before us. The Masonic Foundation will continue to provide for the care of the unfortunate through our Oncology Program at the University of Kansas. The Student Loan Program will be promoted while we reach out and care for the Wills and Trusts of those who believe in the great cause of Freemasonry. Our Masonic Education Committee will provide programs for the exchange of information and ideas among the Craft. They will encourage the development of leadership among the officers of the lodge, while encouraging the employment of more Masons into the activities through the use of the five Lodge Committees, according to By-Law 3-317, in the Laws of Kansas Masonry. This committee will continue to support the activities of'and work closely with the newly formed Lodge of Research. Yes, my Brethren and friends of the Fraternity, through the aforementioned goals of these and other committees, we can make Freemasonry live in the lives of others. We â&#x20AC;˘ can "reach out and touch someone" with our acts of charity, sharing that which we can not keep, while keeping that which we can not give - the secrets of Freemasonry.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF H : . W : . BEN B. BOYLES

Grand Master of Masons In Kansas from March 19, 1981 to March 20, 1982 By M:.W:. William F. Mcintosh, P.G.M. Ben B. Boyles was born to George M. and Nina A. Boyles on March 25, 1913, in Denver, Colorado. He has a Twin Brother Robert E. Boyles. The Family moved to Missouri where Ben went to Smith Cotton High School in Sedalia. He graduated from Park College of Parkville, Missouri with a B.A. in Mathematics. After College, Ben Worked in the Commerce Bank and the Brotherhood State Bank, both of Kansas City, Kansas. Next, Ben relates " I went to work for the Government ". He served as a LTJG in the Amphibious Corps in the Pacific Theater until the conclusion of World War II. For a time, Ben and His Twin Brother Bob, owned and operated a Bowling Alley in Coffeyville. In 1950, Bob returned to Kansas City, and Ben entered private business. Most Worshipful Brother Ben was elected to receive the Degrees of Ancient Craft Masonry in Conerstone Lodge No. 102, in Coffeyville, and was Initiated January 5, 1966, Passed February 9, 1966 and Raised March 18, 1966. Records indicate He was Installed as Most Worshipful Grand Master of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of Kansas 15 years later, almost to the very day.

He is a member of the Methodist Church in Coffeyville, a Life Member of the V.F.W. and of the American Legion. Most Worshipful Ben B.

M E M O R I A L TO M:,W:. EARL R. BROWN GRAND MASTER 1 9 5 8

M:.W:. Earl R. Brown served this Grand Lodge meritoriously and with distinction as Grand Master in 1958. He was one of the Outstanding Masons in Kansas of all times.. He was born in Zanesville, Ohio, on August,26, 1893, and died in Mineola, Kansas, on February 9, 1982, having been blessed by his Divine Creator with a long and fruitful life of 88 years. He was laid to rest in Plains Cemetery, Plains, Kansas, with full Grand Lodge Masonic Honors on February 12, 1982, by our Grand Master, M:.W:. Ben B. Boyles, and his officers. Traditional Military Rites were performed by the local American Legion Post. W:. Herman Shorb officiate. He began his illustrious Masonic career in Haviland Lodge No. 409, Haviland, Kansas, on April 13, 1920; but later transferred to Plains Lodge No. 367 where he served as Master in 1932. In 1933 and 1934 he was District Deputy Grand Master in his district. After serving on several Grand Lodge committees and in subordinate Grand Lodge offices, he was elected Grand Master in 1958. He was a member of all the York Rite Bodies, and became a 32nd Degree Mason in the Wichita Scottish Rite in 1928 where he was honored with the investiture of K.C.C.H. and coroneted as a 33rd Degree Mason in 1948. The International Order of DeMolay bestowed upon him the Legion of Honor in 1958. M:.W:. Brother Earl was an ardent and enthusiastic ambassador of Masonry who actively witnessed and evangelized in her behalf, always faithfully working in lodge activities, and ever exemplifying our mystic art in his daily life. Earl was an eminently successful wheat farmer on a large scale who lived close to God and nature, working diligently and serving faithfully as he tilled the good earth - all remindful of the legendary heritage of our stalwart Kansas Pioneers. He was, indeed, a fine Christian gentleman who was the very salt of the earth, and who belonged to that select group of Americans who are best described as the backbone of our great country. He was uncannily possessed of good common sense and solidly sound judgment; and I, as did many of his brother Masons, often benefited from his sagacious counsel. He served his country as a Sergeant in the U.S. Army in overseas service in World War I. In his town, county and area of the state, he stood out gigantically as a highly respected leader and public servant, holding many important offices and serving on a number of administrative boards. More importantly, he strongly supported and regularly participated in the affairs of his church where, for many years, he excellently taught an adult Sunday School class and, at times, filled the pulpit as Lay Minister. We extend our sincere sympathy and soulful cortmiseration to his good wife, his four sons and two daughters and their families in the death of their loved one, and pray that God may comfort and sustain them in their great loss and sorrow. Most assuredly, within the sphere of his activity and influence, M:.W:. Brother Earl served to make the world a better place in which to live and, indubitably, left lasting footprints on the Sands of Time. We thank the Supreme Grandmaster that we were known and loved him as we, symbolically, traveled with him, our most honorable and highly esteemed rest his immortal soul in the Grand Lodge above.

privileged and blessed to have towards the East for awhile Brother. May God bless and Amen.

1983 ADDRESS OF THE GRAND MASTER To The M:. W:. Grand Lodge of Kansas: To stand before you, the Craft of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of Kansas, and be able to express my appreciation to all whom I owe a debt of gratitude would be nearly^ impossible. The many courtesies extended to the Grand Master, his Wife and Family, over the past five years and more are extremely numerous, but greatfully appreciated. Rest assured they will long be recalled. The many hours of time and the expenditure of funds to assure the success of the events to which we have been in attendance are seemingly limitless. Anne and I applaud each of you in your endeavors and on your achievements. The success you enjoyed certainly exemplified the thoroughness of your preparations. I wish to express my appreciation to M:. W:. Chester L. Gilbert for affording me the opportunity to serve as your Grand Master by appointing me Grand Senior Deacon in 1978. To his lovely wife, Rachael, a special word of thanks for her support. Further appreciation is to be accorded to the Past Grand Masters of this jurisdiction who have performed their duties. Their counsel and support has been timely and good. To a great extent, the strength and stability of the Grand Lodge of.Kansas is in the hands of the Council of Administration. To R:. W:. Richard A. Porter, Deputy Grand Master; R:. W:, Lawrence D. winegardner. Grand Senior Warden; and R:. W:. Arris M. Johnson, Grand Junior Warden a special word of appreciation for their faithful service, timely counsel and dedication. May all Grand Masters be so fortunate. To our Grand Secretary, R;. W:. Albert O. Arnold, Jr., and his Assistant R:. W:. David L. Recob and the Grand Lodge Staff, warm and well deserved vote of confidence. jurisdiction is indeed fortunate to have their faithful service.

Our

To the Director of the Kansas Masonic Home, Jerry Lindenbaum and the Kansas Masonic Foundation, Curtis Gary, we extend a special thanks. To the Appointive Officers who have spent many hours this past year travelling to and from the many functions of the Grand Lodge, we say thanks for your dedication and faithful service "Well done, good and faithful servants!" A special word of appreciation goes to the Area and District Deputy Grand Masters their untiring dedication and service to the Craft has been remarkable. To the Grand Lodge Committeemen who have labored in the quarries of decision making and programming development, we extend the hand of fellowship and commend them for their efforts and support. To the Masters, Wardens, and Brethren of the constituent Lodges of this Grand Jurisdiction, we will always be able to say we joined hands and shouldered the task. The road hasn't always been smooth and easy, but it has produced results of which we can be proud. Thanks for your service to Freemasonry and may the road always rise to meet you. To my Office Staff who so ably assisted in the deliverance of health care needed by the finest patients in the world, I promise a return to more normal routines. Thanks for your untiring efforts. Finally, I turn to my family, to my Father, our Grand Sword Bearer, I say thanks for the second chance. Entering the ranks of Freemasonry has been far more rewarding than anyone could expect. To our six children, I thank them for their support and the sharing of their lives with the Masons of Kansas. To the First Lady of our household, my wife of 31 years, there is not enough words to express the thanks due unto her. Her loyalty to the great cause of Freemasonry is to be commanded.- She has spent many hours flying, driving, sitting, listening and sharing. Her love and supfort han been ever inspiring. Thanks, Anne!

Above all, as we continue to travel the roads of life, I pause to say thanks to "He" who directs our footsteps; to say thanks for "His" omni present guidance; and may "He" watch over and tend to the needs of our great fraternity as it endeavors to deliver its principals to the needs of today's society. After being installed as Grand Master, March 20, 1982, it was my intention to speeds briefly with you regarding the aims and goals for the Grand Jurisdiction of Kansas, pledging the employment of more Masons into the functions of their Lodges and, thus, in Freemasonry in Kansas. I am pleased to report that through your efforts, you, who served as Master of your Lodge, have more than fulfilled many of the goals set forth. Through your efforts you have employed and set to work brethren of the Craft through the activation of the five basic committees required in By-Law 3-317 of the Laws of Kansas Masonry. Masons of Kansas have involved themselves into the Masonic Educational programs presented by the Grand Lodge. Through the Area Workshops, participation in discussion groups produced many positive responses relative to the feelings of the Craft. The Charity programs of the Kansas Masonic Foundation and the Kansas Masonic Home have reached new heights. The Youth recognition programs created and sponsored by many Lodges across this State are to be commended. The financial challenge of many Lodges were met through the strength and wisdom of qualified brethren within the ranks of their membership. Many Lodges created new Charity programs for their members. Others showed outstanding or continued growth in membership. For the first time in many years the Grand Lodge has been able to reduce the numlaer of Lodge consolidations. Finally, we have addressed ourselves to this growing problem. Much is left to be said. Yet, my brethren, I must report to you there are approximately loo Lodges in this grand jurisdiction who are very inactive. Their participation in the Masonic Education meetings of the Grand Lodge is absent. Many of these same Lodges neither participated in the charitable activities of the Kansas Masonic Foundation or Kansas Masonic Home. The ranks of these same Lodges continue to shrink and to increase in average age. Throughout the year, from East to West, and North to South, I have asked the question, "If you were not a Mason today, why would you join the fraternity of Freemasonry." But for one or two exceptions, none have ventured to reveal or mention the great charity programs found everywhere within the quarries of PreemasonryThe ranks of Freemasonry continue to shrink. Last year, according to the figures of the Masonic Service Association, among the grand jurisdictions of the United states, more than 63,359 Masons were lost. This represents a figure substantJlally larger than the number of resident Masons in Kansas. I submit to you the following membership record complied over the past ten years in Kansas: YEAR 1973 1974 1975 1976 1977 1978 1979 1980 1981 1982

Grand Lodge of Kansas

In January of this year I asked our Grand Secretary to take from our computer records the number of initiates since 1973 and compare them to the number of initiates who failed to become Master Masons. These figures showed 12,983 initiates of which 3,630 did not become a Master Mason. This is to say 28% failed to advance to Master Mason. Further, the record reveals an increasing percentage of laggards and a distinct four year trend toward a reduction in the number of initiates. In my opinion, and only time and future experience can prove its validity, we have a two fold growing challenge. First, we are failing to instill into the hearts of men the desire to enter the fraternity. We are not making ourselves known to the outside public. We are not creating an image of success and envy. We are not sharing the magnetism of this great fraternity with our fellow man. Second, we are failing to keep stride with the hands :'- time as it relates to the needs of those who enter the fraternity. There is a growing concern we are placing too much emphasis on the memorization of a few words, while failing to teach the meanings and symbolisms contained therein. We are very possibly failing to cultivate in the minds and hearts of our initiates the desire to apply the principles of Freemasonry to the needs of today's society.. In so many ways, we seem to be satisfied with minimum values. We must recognize, my brethren, that when our minimum becomes our maximum, we live a life of mediocrity. We must again return to the exemplification of the principals that have led this fraternity to its great heights. We must join hands, one and all, no matter what organization or what quarry of Freemasonry we may labor in, and share with all of our membership, information as to what we as Freemasons represent. By so doing, we enhance the possibility of brightening the image of the fraternity in the eyes of our fellow man. As this report continues, we will be exploring with you activities the Masons of Kansas,representing your Grand Lodge, have participated in this past year. Often suggestions in the form of recommendations will be mentioned. I hope you will visualize what endeavor is being presented and the positive effect it may hold for the good of the order. THE KANSAS MASON Due to the increased costs of publication, it was necessary for the number or issues to be reduced from 6 to 4. Through the efforts of the Council of Administration, the Kansas Masonic Home Board, the Kansas Masonic Home Director of Development and the leadership of the Kansas Mason Editor, M:. W:. William F. Mcintosh, "The Landmark" section, a report of the Kansas Masonic Home activities, has been added to each issue. We have been able to share some publication costs and expand the flow of information about our fraternity. KANSAS MASONIC FOUNDATION In addition to the usual business of the Foundation, we have welcomed a new face to its staff. With the retirement of W:. William E. Bogue as Executive Director has come the face of Brother Curtis Gary. His efforts and dedication have maintained the high standards established by Brother Bogue. His visualization and imagination has created an atmosphere of renewal to the great cause in which your Kansas Masonic Foundation is engaged. I'm pleased the Foundation could expand the Oncology program through the University of Kansas Medical Center while continuing its Scholarship Loan program. The Kansas Masonic Foundation continues to service many trust accounts that make the programs possible. With the approval of the Council of Administration, we approached the Board of Directors of the Foundation regarding the establishment of a permanent endowment fund to insure the growth and extension of the Youth Essay Contest of the Grand Lodge of Kansas. We are endeavoring to seek methods by which the Foundation can husband the funds necessary for the Essay Contest, while Grand Lodge continues to administer the program. By so doing we are in hopes to increase the available funds, and expand the programs into untold realms. KANSAS MASONIC HOME Your Kansas Masonic Home continues to meet the challenge of caring for the aged. Many new programs have been developed and are in action at this very moment.

Proceedings of the

March

The finsmcial condition of the Kansas Masonic, Home has been carefully scrutinized and reviewed regularly by the Finance Committee headed by M:. W:, Ralph D. Walker assisted by M:. W:. F. Warren Starns. While we have many concerns for the increase in expenditures, we find several new programs in readiness for the future. Among the recommended programs is a Grand Masters Endowment Fund by which the basic endowment of the Kansas Masonic Home may be increased over a long period of time. The Long Range Planning Committee, under the direction of M: . W:. Forrest D. Haggard, is to be commended for its untiring labors. Among the endeavors for craft participation this year were the Pilgrimage of Thanksgiving during the month of November and the Christmas Open House in December. Earlier in the year, a tour to the British Isles was planned and realized. Problems encountered were numerous, but we believe this to be a worthwhile program for the Craft. I suggest this be the groundwork for future programming. Truly, my brethren, there is a growing atmosphere of renewal within our jurisdiction for the great cause in which we are engaged at our Kansas Masonic Home. APPENDANT AND CONCORDANT BODIES On several occasions the heads of the Appendant and Concordant bodies have been called on for assistance or information. At no time could better cooperation be desired. Kansas Masonry was honored this year by the visit of many outstanding leaders of various orders. Among these I will mention the Grand Master of the Grand Encampment of Knights Tanplars of North America, Sir Knight M: . E: . Ned Dull, who was present at the Grand Commandery session in Dodge City, and the Second Ceremonial Master of the In^ierial Shrine of North America, Brother George W. Powell. On the occasion of the Shrine Bowl Football Game in August, the five Illustrious Potentates of Shrine Temples in Kansas met for fraternal discussions with 111. Brother Powell and the Grand Master. A warm sense of unity of pvurpose arose from this meeting. EMBLEMS Over five hundred 25 euid 50 year emblems were presented to worthy Brothers. The continuation of the policy of mailing 50 year emblems to deserving Brethren has produced many letters of heart-felt thanks. It is always a pleasure to present these emblems in person, but the hands of time and distance and the health of many prohibit such. On several occasions 60-year certificates were presented on behalf of the local Lodge. The Council of Administration, acting on the recommendation of the Grand Master, has asked the Grcuid Secretary to design a suitable certificate that can be presented to 60, 70 and 80-year or more. Masons in good standing. (See page 140, Photographs of Grand Lodge). Of special note was the opening of the Grand Lodge in Hoi ton No. 42 for the purpose of presentation of a 75-year emblem to the Master of the Lodge and Grand Lecturer Emeritus, R:. W:. OllieV. Woodman. Brother Ollie earned an unlimited proficiency card in 1981. GRAND REPRESENTATIVES This yeeir I have named the following Grand Representatives. This vital program assists Masons wheresoever dispersed to maintain communication. John H. Peyton, Argentina; Victor J. Olson, Brazil (Ceara); Clifford L. Trax, Brazil (Guanabara);Victor R. Petty, New Zealand; George R. Jackson, Norway; David E. Casey, Panama; John W. Willey III, South Africa. COMMITTEES For the most part, the coinnittee reports speak for themselves. However, I have a few comments concerning the operation and achievements of Grand Lodge Committees. Finance - Of prime importance to any business is its financial base. While I can

1982-83

Grand Lodge of Kansas

asstore you your Grand Lodge is on a sound financial base, the challenge of meeting increased cost of operation coupled with a decreasing membership is foremost in the minds of every member of this committee. You will hear more. Jurisprudence - I have endeavored to rule and govern this Grand Jurisdiction, exception, within the eyes of the Laws of Kansas Masonry. I have felt this to be ly important at this time in an effort to test our labors of the past 2 - 3 years have reviewed and updated the Constitution and By-Laws of Kansas Masonry. I have no glaring discrepancies.

without extremeas we found

On many occasions I have referred matters to the Jurisprudence Committee for "opinion" and/or "clarification." M:. W:. John Murray and his committee have been most cooperative and diligent. Masonic Education - There is much to be said for the efforts of this committee. The planning, preparation, execution and evaluation of the Area Workshops and Area Deputy Grand Master-District Deputy Grand Master Workshops has been but a part of the service to the Craft performed under the guidance of M: . W:. Richard D. Kelsey. In May, 1982 our jurisdiction hosted the Midwest Conference on Masonic Education. This event, held in Wichita, was well attended by the twelve member jurisdiction. In addition several officers from the Grand Lodge of Tennessee, including the Grand Master, John T. Pigg, and Deputy Grand Master, John B. Arp, were in attendance to assist in honoring our special guest from London, England, W: . Bro. Harry Carr. While in our jurisdiction Brother Carr lectured on three occasions. First, on May 3, 1982 in Old Mission Lodge No. 153, Shawnee Mission where his topic was "600 Years of Craft Ritual." Second, on May 5, 1982 in Topeka Lodge No. 17, Topeka where his topic was "Women and Freemasonry" and, third, on May 8, 1982 in the Scottish Rite Temple in Wichita for the Midwest Conference. On this occasion the Grand Lodge of Kansas was opened; our guest officially received to Kansas; the newly formed Lodge of Research officers installed and the lecture, "600 Years of Craft Ritual" presented. All of which becaiae a part of the official minutes of the Midwest Masonic Education Conference. Lodge of Research - The Lodge of Research, proclaimed at our last Grand Session, has pursued its goals under the direction of M:. W:. F. Warren Starns. The visit of W: . Bro. Harry Carr was co-sponsored by the Masonic Education Committee and the Lodge of Research. Total Youth - Under the direction of W:. Craig Davidson a program of Attendance, Communication and Encouragement was initiated. Through this program the Craft has been encouraged to attend the youth functions and communicate with the members. The youth leaders of the Order of DeMolay, Jobs Daughters and Rainbow for Girls, who have attended the Grand Master's visits to Lodges, have been recognized with a special Youth Appreciation Certificate. In April a special certificate for "Outstanding Service to Youth" was presented by the Grand Master to W:. Bro. Larry Longhofer who coached the Washburn Rural High School boys' basketball team to a Kansas State 4-A basketball championship. Coach Longhofer is a Past Master of Lebo Lodge No. 152. A special youth recognition committee was appointed this year. The function of this craranittee was to recognize Eagle Scouts of this jurisdiction and to promote the labors of many of our Craft as they work with the youth of our society in the Boy Scouts of America. Correspondence - Under the direction of M:. W:. Robert H. Arnold proceedings of foreign jurisdictions have been reviewed and published in the Kansas Mason. By this action it was felt the Craft would be better informed of the issues facing Freemasonry. Grand Lodge Library - The cataloging of the Grand Lodge Library was completed this year. Coordination between the functions of the Lodge of Research and the availability of the resource material housed in the Grand Lodge Library has been undertaken. Our Grand Secretary stands ready to assist in your library needs.

Proceedings of the

March

Under the direction of M:. W:. Ben W- Graybill a study was initiated relative to the possible incorporation of the Grand Lodge Library. Our study produced input from the Grand Lodges of Iowa and Texas. Both jurisdictions have outstanding programs. It is suggested future Councils of Administration'continue the study. Church-Lodge Relations - Several requests by families of departed Brothers for a copy of the funeral service was received by the Grand Master. Through this committee, a request was made for the possible publication of a "suggested" funeral ceremony. The suggested format was to include a page for the Masonic record of the departed Brother and a suggested Masonic Funeral Service enclosed in a distinctive cover bearing the Square and Compass. This peunphlet is to be presented to the widow or nearest relative of the departed Brother after the funeral service. I recommend the Grand Lodge prepare, publish, and make available to its constituent Lodges such publication. Operation Kan - Inquiry from foreign jurisdictions was received by the Grand Master as to this committee and its function. These requests were forwarded to the committee chairman, W:. Glenn L. Knapp. Once again we are able to share with others the deliverance of Masonic Charities. I'm sure this program will soon be adopted by several sister grand jurisdictions. Grand under the have Iseen thank the

Lodge ^Aiilding - Maintenance and upkeep of your Grand Lodge Building has been scrutiny of this.committee. Several suggestions for its continued improvement proposed by this committee find adopted by the Council of Administration. We members of this committee for sharing their expertise.

Grand Lodge AcTiivities - In 1978 M:. W:. Chester L. Gilbert founded the Rock Springs Masonic Retreat. Under his direction this function has continued to grow. Each Labor Day Masons, who desire, gather at the Rock Springs 4H Ranch, south of Junction City, for fun and fellowship. Bro- Harold Sievers, the caretaker, his wife and the 4-H Foundation Staff assure us of an enjoyable weekend by making the facilities available to us. Ritualistic - The Ritualistic Commi ttee and the corps of Grand Lecturers are to be commended for their continued service to the Craft. They labor long and hard under the direction of M:. W:. J. Fred Williamson. It has been my privilege to appoint two new Grand Lecturers this year: R:. W:. Clifford L. Trax of Wichita and R: . W:. Hurlbut K. Graves of St. Francis. They will serve the Craft well. This year has seen a pilot program for the deliverance of the ritual developed in the far southwest area of our jurisdiction. Under the guidance of R: . W: . Richard R. Haefele and R:. W:. Harvey L. Henderson a district lecturer concept is being tried. Many positive results have been achieved through this progreim. Lodges once thought to be dormant are again stirring with renewed enthusiasm. Brethern, as we pxirsue the needs of the fraternity as it relates to society, may we be ever mindful it is the ritual that sets this fraternity apart from all others. A thorough working knowledge of the ritual and an understanding of its meanings and symbols may well be the single most important item in the renewal of Freemasonry. In view of this I suggest a strong ritualistic proficiency program.joining hands with a strong Masonic Education program exemplifying Freemasonry as a progressive science be formulated by future Councils of Administration. Chartered Lodges - Lodges U. D. - We have, somewhat by necessity, used this committee to address the growing challenge of lodge consolidations. Through this committee and the cooperation of its chairman, M:. W:. F. Warren Starns, we have been able to work with two Lodges in separate areas of the State who were faced with consolidation. Almost before I could arrive home after being installed Grand Master on March 20, 1982, it became evident we had major problems in Chetopa Lodge No. 73. i submit to you that a detailed report was filed by R;. W:. Neil Post, District Deputy Grand Master of District 11, identifying the problem and requesting the assistance of the Grand Master. This report is on permanent file with the Grand Secretary.

1982-83

Grand Lodge of Kansas

In October it began to appear that our efforts were in vain. The District Deputy Grand Master had made weekly trips from Parsons to Chetopa. His work with other Lodges became more demanding. The brethren of the Lodge had failed to respond to the call. Finally, the District Deputy Grand Master placed a call for advice and assistance to the Grand Master. On October 21, 1982, the Area Deputy Grand Master, R:. W:. Ralph Kimmel, was contacted and asked to go to Chetopa and endeavor to seek out other courses of action. On October 29, 1982 Brothers Kimmel and Raymond Hough spent several hours in Chetopa talking with various members of the Lodge. On November 7, 1982 the Grand Master accepted the resignation of the Secretary from office and ordered the Area Deputy Grand Master, R: . W:. Bro Kimmel, to pick up the records of the Lodge. Brother Jack Foley, having expressed his interest, was appointed by the Grand Master to serve as Interim Secretary. On December 10, 1982 he was appointed as the Grand Master's representative while the Charter remained under Grand Lodge arrest. (Edict of May 24, 1982.) I am pleased to report this Lodge is once again functioning and by this report I hereby lift the Arrest of Charter and return it to the custody of the brethren of the Lodge. At no time was any action taken intended to be punitive toward this Lodge. To all who participated in this endeavor, a special vote of confidence and thanks is accorded to them. To Brothers Post, Kimmel, Hough and Trax, a special thanks! The second Lodge in question was MacDonald Lodge No. 383. For two years certain members of this Lodge had appealed to the Grand Lodge for consolidation. No action was taken as other reports showed some sparks of interest among the Craft. On October 25, 1982, the Grand Master, after several communications from- the Grand Secretary called the Master to arrange for a meeting with the Lodge. It became immediately evident the Master wanted one thiing - OUT. He had been held in office for two years and was very frustrated. The Area Deputy Grand Master, R:. W:. Douglas Fair, and Past Grand Master, F. Warren Starns, were contacted. It was revealed they would be meeting with the Lodge on Wednesday October 27, 1982. It was decided among us 1. We would allow the Charter to be moved around the District (with 30 days notice to the Craft). 2. We would encourage dual/plural membership to bolster the membership rolls. 3. We would encoxirage the election of new officers. 4. We would support their endeavors by assisting in anyway we could, to include programming. At the October 27 meeting the Lodge voted to try the plan for 60 days, to raise their dues, to modify their meeting dates and adopt new By-Laws. Under the direction of the new officers, the Lodge is once again functional. I suggest the Grand Lecturer and District Deputy Grand Master in this area to continue to monitor this Lodge and service its needs. To the members of these Lodges, I challenge them- to deliver the principles of Freemasonry to the needs of society; to continue to achieve a "suitable proficiency " both ritualistically and operatively â&#x20AC;&#x201D; operatively as speculative Masons. To you, the members of the Craft, I say IT CAN BE DONE. We need to ciddress ourselves to the challenges of consolidation. Further, this committee has been the vehicle for the study of "Lodge Business in the First Degree." See enclosure for the program as written and adopted for use. We will discuss this further. PAST GRAND MASTER MEMORIAL As we share the joys of fellowship and activity, we must pause to mourn the passing of those who have preceeded us. This year two Past Grand Masters have passed from our ranks into the Grand Lodge Eternal â&#x20AC;&#x201D; M: . W:, Floyd S. Ecord and M: . W: . William H. Harrison. May it be your portion. Oh, My Brothers, to hear from Him who sitteth as the Judge Sv5)rane the welcome words of "Well done, good and faithful servant, enter into the joys of Thy Lord. " RULINGS 1. Request frcan Union Lodge No. 7 asking if a rubber stamp would be suitable for a lodge seal. After reviewing this with the Jurisprudence Committee and legal authorities.

Proceedings of the

March

I ruled that an imprint device would be necessary for use as an official Lodge seal. I cite birth and death certificates as well as the registration of deeds as some of the papers requiring imprint seals. 2. I ruled Arab Shrine Temple could invite the Masonic Lodges of Kansas to participate in their Shrine Civic Parade. 3. On official complaint by members of the Craft, I ruled the publication of pronographic cartoons and jokes should be-removed from a Shrine publication. This to be acccMoplished in the best interest of Freemasonry. 4. I ruled that the list of Kansas Masons in a particular zip code area can be made available to a Lodge of this jurisdiction for the purpose of encouraging the resident Kansas Masons of said zip code area to participate in the activities of said Lodge. Further, no person is to use this list for the purpose of soliciting membership or transfer of membership as this would be a violation of Landmark XVI of Article 1 of the Constitution of the Grand Lodge of Kansas. Further, any and all expense encurred by the Grand Lodge in providing this information to or for said Lodge is to be paid to the Grand Lodge of Kansas by the Lodge from its general fund as an operating expense. Any duplication of this list in part or in total is hereby deemed to be an offense against the body of Freemasonry. Further, any organization predicating its membership on being a Master Mason or any business or outside organization doing business with the Grand Lodge of Kansas may use the mailing list of membership in part or in total for mailing purposes only with permission of the Grand Master and the Council of Administration, provided (1.) The mailing is made through the Grand Secretary's office or the office of designated business mailing the official publication of the Grand Lodge (i.e.The Kansas Mason) (2.) That the Grand Lodge of Kansas be reimbursed for any and all expense incurred by the agency requesting the mailing. 5. I ruled Brother Harold H. Stephens, a former member of Coyville Lodge No. 57, now defunct, who now holds a Grand Secretary's Certificate, having maintained his membership in good standing for 50 years is eligible for a 50 year emblem of this jurisdiction. 6. I ordered the time between degrees to be waived for a terminally ill Entered Apprentice and in the presence of his father, a Past Master of this jurisdiction and five other Master Masons of this jurisdiction, I personally conferred the degree of Fellowcraft and Master Mason on said Brother on January 21, 1983. 7. On April 23, 1982 I ordered the Grand Senior Deacon, W:. Durward C. Danielson, to chair a committee to realign the districts of this grand jurisdiction. This is due to the number of consolidations over the past 20 years. M:. W:. J. Fred Williamson and M:. W:. Richard D. Kelsey were asked to serve on this committee. 8. I ordered the Masters of two Lodges to review the reception of distinguished guests as printed in the extended Monitor and Ceremonies pages 88-91 and to make report. 9. In response to a request to rent office space in the Grand Lodge building, I requested this issue be reviewed by the jurisprudence committee. Based on the opinion of the conmiittee with respect to taxation, I rule that the Grand Secretary may enter into negotations for the lease of office space to outside organizations or enterprises. Council of Administration approval must be unanimous. Ref. Communication February 9, 1983. 10. I ruled Bro. Darrel Jane Shantean, a member of Benjamin Franklin Lodge No. 59 of Livorno, Italy in good standing, desiring to affiliate with Ionic Lodge No. 254 of St. John, Kansas could be elected to membership in Kansas. This decision based on the affirmative communication of Italian Grand Lodge or the Grande Oriente d'Italia received July 26, 1982 by the Grand Secretary of Kansas. 11. Ruled Hancock Lodge No. 311 could invite a Missouri degree team to confer a Missotiri Third Degree on a suitable Missouri candidate in the Lodge Hall of Hancock Lodge No. 311.

1982-83

Grand Lodge of Kansas

12. Request for demit by Brother James W. Kerr, member of Sunflower Lodge No. 86, Wichita and a dual member of Sarasota Lodge No. 147 of Sarasota, Florida was denied. Ref. By-Law 4-401A,"The holder of a dual membership shall not have the right to request a demit. (Adopted 1961, amended 1974)." I ruled this Brother to be entitled to a Certificate of Withdrawal and that a demit could only be issued if the Brother were to withdraw from all Lodges, dual or plural. 13. I ruled that certain selected I/>dges be allowed to meet for business in the First Degree according to the plan adopted by the Past Grand Masters Ben Graybill, Arthur Hodgson and F. Warren Starns. This purpose is to define advantages for. Lodges to meet for business in the First Degree under a pilot progrcun. Report to be made at the Grand Lodge Session, March 18, 19, 20, 1983. 14. A former member of Potwin Lodge No. 228 now consolidated with Towanda Lodge No. 30 who was suspended for non-payment of dues desired to be restored, and elected to membership in Patmos Lodge No. 97. I ruled he was to petition for restoration in the Lodge last holding his records, i.e. Towanda No. 30, and then could transfer his membership to Patmos No. 97 dependent on proper election. 15. A Colorado Mason who had not paid his currect dues first wished to be elected and transfer to Wilsey Lodge No. 382. Owing to his unpaid dues, the request for demit was denied by his Colorado Lodge, El Paso Lodge No. 13. The Brother then moved back to Colorado and paid his dues to El Paso Lodge No. 13 Not being desirous of a demit at this time, I ruled the election and request for dimit to Wilsey No. 382 null and void. Ref. Roland Russell Coover, communication of July 12, 1982. 16. I ruled a Mason must serve as Master of his Lodge to attain the title of Worshipful and the office of Past Master. (Marysville Lodge, Sept. 24, 1982.) 17. I ruled the solemn ceremony and obligation of the initiation of the A.A.O.N.M.S. required by the Imperial Council A.A.O.N.M.S. for membership could be performed in a Masonic Lodge, Eureka Lodge (Jo. 88, on October 22, 1982. 18. A Mason in good standing for 75 years passed on before his emblem was presented. I\ ruled this emblem was to be presented posthumously and belonged to his widow or nearest relative. Ref. W:. Ewin A. Little, Eminence Lodge No. 205, Eskridge, Ks. RECOMMENDATIONS 1. I recommend that the election of Deputy Grand Master be for two years during which period he is to serve one year as Deputy Grand Master and one year as Grand Master. The duties of each office are to be fulfilled as prescribed in the present constitution and By-Laws. 2. I recommend that the District Deputy Grand Masters be appointed for a term of 18 months, 6 months for training and 12 for service. This term is to begin ^ months prior to the next Annual Communication. One of the road blocks* each District Deputy Grand Master faces as he approaches office is he has little or no time to arrange his programs and visitations. Further, the Deputy Grand Master would have more time to work with the new appointees prior to taking office as Grand Master. 3. I recommend an endownment fund for the Grand Lodge Youth Essay Contest be established and the Kansas Masonic Foundation house these funds. This legislation would be contingent upon Internal Revenue Service approval for both the Grand Lodge and the Kansas Masonic Foundation. 4. I recommend By-Law 2-314 be ammended to read, "At each Annual Communication the Grand Lodge set apart and appropriate the-gtuB-ef-$47490.GO a sum as a contingency fund for the Grand Master as recommended by the Council of Administration. Such fund shall be used by him in defraying expenses incurred in the discharge of his duties. (Amended 1949, 1959, 1963, and 1975). 5. I recommend By-Law 4-401A be amended to read "A member of a Lodge in this grand jurisdiction may become a member of a lodge in another grand jurisdiction in fraternal

correspondence with this Grand Lodge, and a member of a lodge in such other grand jurisdiction may become a member of a lodge in this grand jurisdiction. A brother holding such memberships shall be bound by all the laws, rules and regulations governing each lodge, including the payment of all dues and assessments, and shall have all of the privileges of each lodge, except he shall not hold office in both lodges at the same time. The suspension or expulsion of a brother by such lodge of his membership shall be recognized by this grand jurisdiction, with-the-exeeption-of-nonpayment-of-dues, and upon receipt of official notice of such action, the lodge of his membership in this grand jurisdiction shall make a record of such action which shall have the same effect as though the suspension or expulsion had been taken by this grand jurisdiction. In the case of suspension for non-payment of dues, a delay perior! of 120 days shall be allowed for the certified notification of the member in question. The holder of a dual membership shall not have the right to request a demit, and By-Law 4-401D be amended to read, "A member in good standing of any lodge in this grand jurisdiction may hold plural membership in other lodges in this grand jurisdiction paying per-capita tax dues in all. Provided, that he cannot hold offices in more than one Lodge at the same time and Provided Further, that if he is suspended for any other reason than non-payment of dues in one, he shall be suspended in all. In the case of suspension for non-payment of dues, a delay period of 120 days shall be allowed for the certified notification of the member in question. (Adopted 197 5)" 6. I recommend the Grand Lodge print and make available to its lodges a pamphlet containing a "suggested" funeral service and to include a page for the Masonic record of the departed Brother. This is to be presented to the widow or nearest relative at the time of the funeral or memorial service. 7. I recommend that beginning in the year 1984 all Masters of their lodges be required to demonstrate suitable "A" card proficiency as described in By-Law 3-616, Laws of Kansas Masonry. 8. I recommend that after the conferral of Mysteries, the Master shall cause an individual appointed and he shall be responsible to assist strate "suitable proficiency" in the preceeding to By-Law 4-206.

each degree on a candidate for the lodge coach, sponsor, or intender to be the candidate in his endeavors to demondegrees. This is proposed as an addition

9. I recommend that, future Councils of Administration study and formulate a program of ritualistic proficiency as a progressive science. Is it proper that a candidate for Mysteries must become more proficient in the ritual than those presenting it? 10. I recommend that the Council of Administration prepare plans for and make proposal to the next session of the Grand Lodge for a paid, full time Director of Masonic Education. 11. I recommend that the lodge business session be conducted while open on the first degree of Masonry, provided seven or more Master Masons are present and voting. PROCLAMATION The Grand Secretary having informed me that more than two-thirds of the Lodges have ratified Article VII, Sections 1 and 2; Article VIII, Sections 3, 7 and 8; and Article X, Sections 1 and 3; I, therefore, proclaim them to be a part of the Constitution and By-Laws of this Grand Jurisdiction. As we approach the end of this Address, I wish to call your attention to the itinerary of the Grand Master. Due to the demands of the practice of Dentistry, it was necessary to carefully coordinate the travel with the time available. I thank you for your cooperation and the challenge of serving the Craft on more than 165 different occasions. Also listed for your information are the Special Communications of the Grand Lodge, the Grand Representative appointments. Council of Administration activities, the Proclamations and Edicts issued during the year. I encourage you to review these items carefully. This past year has brought forth many highlights for Masonry in Kansas. You have traveled to foreign jurisdictions and shared with them the joys of fellowship. You have shared your time and talents with others unselfishly and at the sound of a beckoning call. You have paid tribute to those who have gone before us and have challenged those who shall follow. You have exemplified the story of the Chinese beggar who was asked to share a portion of his day's earnings, which he did, only to find when he awoke the next day, the portion he shared had been replaced by Gold. Yes, my brethren," though you have afforded

1982-83

Grand Lodge of Kansas

me the privilege of serving you and to make this Annual Report, it is you, and only you, who have shared one with cinother, writing into the annals of time the events contained herein.

The Grand Master continued in his praise of the lodge for their fine work and urged them not to stop, but to set new goals and to continue on. Scarely, one week before, a major hail storm had visited the community - breaking better than 60 per cent of the glass in the commercial district and homes of the cirea. Some power outages had also caused delays. I>ue to the storm damage and the need for the community to turn their attention to repair of home and business, it was thought the tiirnout would be severly diminished. However, all turned out well with the attendance of some 150 persons. The Grand Lodge officers and their ladies were treated to a fine dinner, preceeding the opening of Grcind Lodge, at Dmin's Cafe in Burlingame. The new lodge building is constructed on the site which formerly housed a church and, in turn, the lodge. It is of all metal construction arremged with a center entrance, dropped ceiling, nicely carpeted floor, indirect lighting - all of which make it a very warm and cozy room. This building will also serve as a meeting place for the ladies of the Eastern Star and the Royal Arch Masons.

Our Kansas Masonic Foundation and Kansas Masonic Home were lauded for their continuing efforts, and we were encouraged to continue our support of these two fine Masonic charities. The brethren of Sabetha Lodge are indeed fortunate in having among their members those who are dedicated and devoted to the fraternity. Nowhere is this better evidenced than in their temple. The donation of much of the materials, particularly the concrete and masonry work, has made this ten^le possible. Together with the donated labor of the members and time and substance as well, has brought about the fuition of a beautiful and functional structure- The tastefully decorated interior, acoustical ceiling, natural and artificial lighting, make this a warm and friendly structure which will serve the Masons of Sabetha and the community for years to come.

Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Kansas from February 11, 1954, to February 10, 1955. From his early boyhood on the farm, and then throughout his life to follow, he bore the mark of leadership. He was outstanding in virtually every task he undertook. In school, athletics, in business, in his church work, and in the Masonic fraternity. If one word could sum vop his life, it would have to be GENTLEMAN. He was always kind, considerate and thoughtful. He was slow to anger, yet quick to forgive. A devoted and loving family man and, as we know, an ardent Mason serving in more capacities than we can here number. He was a faithful and hard working Christian and churchman. His business life was without question. Indeed, if you were asked by a young mctn what pattern for life to choose, what finer example could be offered than Floyd Ecord. We are all saddened by his passing, but he has left us a treasury of wonderful memories. And for those of us trtio knew him personally, we feel that our lives are richer and better by having shared in his life. We cherish his memoiiy and honor his service to us this day in dedicating this Past Grand Master Marker for all t^o pass this way to know of the love and affection we shall always have for him. At the conclusion of the ceremony, those present, 75 in all, return.ed to the lodge hall for refreshments of cookies and hot beverages including hot, spiced punch. This was most welcome as the weather, while clecir, was bitter cold with a biting north wind. No further business appearing. Grand Lodge was closed in the Third Degree. Robert G.

REPORT OF THE GRAM) SECRETAKf R: ,W:. AUaert O. Arnold, Jr., Grand Secretary, gave the following report which, on his motion, was received and referred to the Reports of Grand Officers Committee. To the M:. W:. Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: As required in con^liance with ARTICLE VI,Section 9, of our Constitution, and By-laws 2-110 and 1-111, report is submitted for the year of 1982. An estimation of income and expenditure for the ensuing year is included at the end of the report. Elsewhere in the advance report can be found the statistical table reflecting the membership transactions for our now soon to end year. ANNUAL REPORTS Our annual reports this year reflect much the same pattern of the past several years. Deaths appear to be fewer, but unfortxinately so were raisings. As ever we seem to be plagued with late reports. Although not as far behind as in the immediate and previous few years, they still continue to be a problem. On the brighter side, reports appear to have fewer errors. We believe this can be directly attributed to the common suspension date for non-payment of dues which is now December 31. TAXATION Last summer a request was received from the Bureau of Internal Revenue. This had reference to form 990. In order to fulfill this request, a letter was circulated among the lodge secretaries (September 22, 1982). However, before this report could be completed, reports began reaching us to the effect the IRS was sending information requests directly to secretaries throughout the Grand Jurisdiction. In fact most lodges received not one, but two forms. Many questions were asked of your Grand Secretary. This prc^npted a call, or an attempted call, to a number and person listed in the letter accompanying these forms. Still no answers, as the mentioned number had been discontinued. As ever we have admonished each one receiving such inquiry to answer. To date we cannot vouch for anyone being taxed as a result of these forms, but we can inform you fines have been levied against those who have refused or failed to report. One lodge reported being taxed for receiving unrelated income. In general this refers to income received from business enterprises which are not Masonic in nature. Appendant or concordant orders related to the Masonic family are not in this category. But if you do have questions, please ask. Legal authority advises us this is a tax of long standing, and "unrelated" income can be taxed. You are urged to take protective care of your records; they are most in^xirtant. Shortly after the new calendar year, secretaries began reporting receiving a third request for information. We believe this last request was the result of some of you sending more information than was originally requested. We certainly are not to withhold any information required, but also we submit the situation was only confused by supplying irrelevant statistics and transactions. Early in December lodges reported receiving forms fr^n individual county assessors. This in connection with personal property. Again, we asked for, and received, legal counsel. Our answer was that this was not a new tax, but rather an old one, and further, there was little or nothing that could be done. It is a legal tax of long standing, and one which must be paid. Effective the 1st day of July, 1983, the Tax Equity and Fiscal Re^>onsibility Act of 1982 becomes law. This requires that income tax be withheld at a rate of 10 per cent on interest dividends, and patronage dividends paid or credited to individuals and unincorporated entities. We are advised this isn*t an increase, but a new methDd of collecting. Perhaps it will be of little comfort to report, still it is very true, all of these mentioned tax situations also affect your Grand Lodge operation.

DUAL-PLURAL MEMBERSHIPS As of December 31, 1982, we record 937 dual/plural memberships. Before going further, be aware of another term not new to some of us, yet not altogether common as of this date, and that is multiple memberships As more and more jurisdictions have adopted these kinds of memberships in their programs, so have we become aware of the differences in the laws. In general, failure to communicate and procedural infraction are given only passing reference. Certainly it would be trite to mention them except in connection with a far greater problem. In other jurisdictions, as well as our own, it is recognized that a sojourning Mason is under the authority and jurisdiction of the Grand Master in the land in which he resides. Now we are finding other jurisdictions using the terms "original lodge" or "mother lodge," This in turn seems to indicate the original or mother lodge law as having precedence and authority. I regretfully report this to be an increasing problem. Two times this year serious problems were solved after much effort. The third is quite another matter and required the judication of our Grand Master. If you or any Mason known by you is considering dual affiliation, be sure you understand the law pertaining thereto before proceeding. SECRETARY MEETINGS Finding an agreeable meeting date is a problem I am sure you have experienced. This, too, was a problem for secretary meetings. Nevertheless we did hold meetings as follows: August 30, 1982, at the Scottish Rite Temple in Kansas City, Kansas; October 6, 1982, in the Scottish Rite Temple in Wichita; November 10, 1982, at Kiowa Lodge No. 293 at Greensburg; November 17, 1982, at Lebanon Lodge No. 221 at Scandia; November 19, 1982, at St. Bernard Lodge No. 222, Dodge City. To the secretaries and members of the host temples, our sincerest thanks for sharing your fine facilities. Most problems encountered diiring these meetings were minor in nature, and with a minimum of time were resolved. One great problem did again surface. As has been true in the last three years, I again reported to the Council of Administration the great concern expressed by secretaries with regard to Entered Apprentices who have failed to advance. My report to this august body this year was not just another report, but rather an alarm. Our Grand Master has already reported the results of a study he ordered to determine the validity of our cursory investigation. Unfortunately our suspicions were correct. Over 500 petitioners have failed to advance beyond the Entered Apprentice Degree in 1982. True, there will be a few initiated in November and December who will complete the degrees in calendar 1983. " Yet this ten year study has shown a pattern that is far from desirable or acceptable. Size and location of a lodge seem to make little difference. Likewise, we have received a number of suggestions, but to date no positive solution. DONATIONS TO THE LIBRARY & MUSEUM From Brother Darven L. Paddock, Past President of High Twelve International, a copy of "AT HIGH TWELVE." From Mrs. Virginia Aberwald, Volumes 1 through 7 of the History of Freemasonry by Albert G. Mackey and William R- Singleton. From Vincent C. Schermerhorn, the donation of Commandery swords. From Brother Edwin L Birt, a donation of a copy of "Morals and Dogma." We thank you for remembering your library and museum in this way and again encourage each and every one to call or write iis if you have an item of interest. If there is doubt about any item, book, or object, please do not throw it away until we can have the opportunity of full investigation and study. Need I add, remember also your lodge archives. Their value to future generations as well as oxir own is beyond measure.

INCOME AND EXPENDITURES On the following pages you will find the estimation of income and expenditures for our fiscal year of 1983.' As already reported, the tax situation, both federal and state, has not escaped your Grand Lodge operation. We are continuing in our effort to make necessary changes and repairs to effect energy savings. Yet while our efforts are progressing, and a more steady climate appears with regard to costs, inflation is not over. Had you not voted-a per capita tax increase last year, we could now be at the point of using invested funds to pay bills. APPRECIATION I never cease to be amazed at the efforts, work, care, and concern expressed in so many ways by the membership of Kansas Masonry. To each committeeman, chairman. Past Grand Master, Grand liOdge officer. Council of Administration members, and our Grand Master, our appreciation and heartfelt thanks. To the staff of your Grand Lodge, how difficult to express appropriately my thanks for your diligent efforts and hard work. After the resignation of the librarian we were fortunate in being able to obtain the services of Sister Rachael Gilbert. Although on a part-time basis, her knowledge and acquaintance-ship as the wife of a Past Grand Master has been extremely helpful. Mrs. Arlene Mahrle, also in a part-time capacity, is excellent in every way. Brother Jack Werner continues to produce and be a vital part of the operation. W:. Charles Hoffmeister and son. Brother Rick, although representing their own company, go far and beyond any remuneration we give them in maintaining the Grand Lodge building. R:. W:. David Recob, Assistant Grand Secretary, continues his fine service and hard work, cuid I fear is often overlooked. I could not begin to say enough nice things about the secretary to the Grand Secretary, Mrs. Jean Rader, she is tops. And finally to each and every member of the Craft, a profound and deep thank you for allowing me to serve you. Respectfully and fraternally submitted. Albert O. Arnold, Jr. Grand Secretary

REPORT OF NECROLOGY COMMITTEE M:.W:. Carroll C. Arnett, PGM, Chairman, sulmitted the following report vrtiich, on his motion, was adopted and referred to the proper committees. To the M:.W:. Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: The Angel of Death has been abroad throughout the land; you may almost hear the heating of his wings. There is no one as of old ... to sprinkle with blood the lintel and the two side-posts of our doors, that he may spare and pass on. -John Bright Our Grand Lodge suffered the loss of over 1,600 of our brethren during the past year. Among these were two Past Grand Masters. The Masonic records of these distinguished brothers are typical of the dedication and devotion of those we lost this past year. Inasmuch as it has pleased the Grand Architect of the Universe to remove from oxir midst two of our Past Grand Masters, thus severing links in our golden chain of Brotherly Love, we rejoice as our memories are filled with appreciation as we reflect i^on their many accomplishments cind contributions, not only to Masonry, but to their communities and society as a whole. The oldest living Past Grand Master, William Henry Harrison, died at Sun City, Arizona, on September 11, 1982. Services were held at the United Church, Downs, Kansas, on September 16, 1982. Masonic graveside services were provided by the Grand Lodge of Kansas with M:.W:. Arthur C. Hodgson delivering the funeral oration with noticeable expertise. Brother Harrison is survived by his wife of 58 yeeirs, Helen; one daughter, Jane Cunningham; and two sons, William Henry, Jr. and Bogue, their spouses, children, grand children and one great grandchild. Brother Harrison was born into Masonry as his father had been Master of Downs Lodge No. 204 and served as Treasurer of the Lodge for 34 years. Bill was raised in Downs on May 9, 1919, and was Master in 1933, 1940 and 1942. He was a member of the Scottish Rite and Isis Shrine at Salina, received the KCCH in 1933, and made 33rd Degree Mason in 1961. He was Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Kansas in 1949. Brother Harrison attended public schools in Downs and entered the University of Kansas before World War I. He served with the United States Navy and returned to KU, graduating in 1921. He became associated with his father in the operation of the State Bank of Downs and remained active in its management until his retirement in 1962. Bill was active in civic programs, charter member of the Downs Rotary Club and the American Legion Post. Bill Harrison was known and loved by many people, and he was a friend to all. A great tribute was paid to him in his funeral services by the minister, Tim Gates, as well as by the large attendance of a host of brother Masons, friends and relatives. The ranks of Masonry, as well as elsewhere, were saddened by the death of Floyd S. Ecord on May 15, 1982. He was the former publisher of the Daily Republican in Burlington and started with the paper in 1921 for his uncle who owned the newspaper at that time. Floyd became a partner in John Redmond Associates which became the publisher of the paper in 1953. His philosophy of the paper never changed, focusing on local news while leaving the national and international coverage to larger papers. The Daily Republican had the largest circulation of a town the size of Burlington. Brother Floyd retired in 1973 and the paper was sold to the present publisher, Glenn German. Floyd was very active in Civic, Community and Masonic affairs. A member of the United Methodist Church of Burlington, he was a retired trustee and lay speaker. He was a former member of the Board of Directors of the Peoples Nationcil Bank and Trust Con^iany of Burlington, past president of the Chamber of Commerce and Burlington Country Club. Floyd was also a trustee of the William Allen White School of Journalism at the University of Kansas, a chcirter member of the Burlington Rotary Club, he served as a District Governor. He was an army veteran of WorldWar I and a member of the American Legion Post in Burlington.

Proceedings of the

Brother Floyd was Master of Burlington Lodge No. 66 In 1927 and Secretary from 1942 to 1951. He was a past Patron of the Order of the Eastern Star, a oeiober of the York Rite Bodies at lola, and the Scottish Rite and Arab Shrine Temple at Topeka. He was a 33rd Degree Mason. Floyd was Grand Master in 1954. For 20 years he served as a member of the Board of Directors of the Kansas Masonic Home, and had been honored by the International Supreme Council of the Order of DeMolay. Brother Floyd will long be remembered at the Grand Lodge Sessions for his carefully prQ>ared and well delivered reports of the Committee on Correspondence, having served as Chainnan for 20 consecutive years. Brother Ecord leaves his wife, Mrs. Lorraine Batdorf Ecord of the home; a daughter, Mrs. Evamay Dawson of Burlington; a brother, Joe H. ^cord; a sister, Mrs. Helen Schneider (both of Garnett, Kansas); and five grandchildren. Services were performed by the Grand Lodge of A.F. S A.M. of Kansas with W:. Marlin Cunmings delivering the funeral oration in a most in^ressive manner. I believe the following poem sums up the sincere desires of these two devoted Past Grand Masters. I do not know how long I'll live But while I live. Lord, let ne give Some comfort to scmeone in need By smile or nod - kind word or deed And let ne do what e'er I can To ease things for my fellow man. I want naught but to do my To "lift" a tired or weary To change folks' frowns to Then I will not have lived And I'll not care how long If I can give - and give ~

part heart. smiles again In vain I'll live and give.

REPORT OF GRAND LODGE ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE M:.W:. Chester L. Gilbert, PGM, Chairmem, gave the following report which, on his motion, was adopted: To the M:.W:. Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: The Grand Lodge Activities for the year 1982-83 report of the Masonic Retreat held over Labor Day weekend, September 4, 5 and 6, at Rock Springs 4-H Ranch near Junction City, Kansas. This was the fifth year for the Retreat. As in the past four years, we have many who have attended previously and then gained some new participants. Those attending for the first time exclaimed they did not realize the facilities available, and would have attended before if they had been aware of the many activities planned by the committee and the Ranch Staff. There was a good representation of Grand Lodge Officers present as well as Past Grand Masters. We are planning on returning again in 1983 for our 6th Reunion. We hope all who have attended will again avail themselves of this relaxing weekend and bring other friends. Masons or not, to enjoy this beautiful spot in our Kansas Flint Hills.

REPORT OF CORRESPONDENCE COMMITTEE M:.W:. Robert H, Arnold, PGM, Chairman, gave the following report which, on his motion, was adopted: To the M:.W:. Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: For the second consecutive year there is no report from this Committee in the Advanced Proceedings. If action taken last year at Grand Lodge had developed properly, there would have been no need. You may recall that approval was given to change the format of reporting the activities in other Grand Jurisdictions throughout the world. Heretofore a beautifully prepared and bound report was distributed to the Brethren during the Annual Communication. Normally it consisted of forty to sixty pages. It was done in excellent taste and, for the Masons wishing to know details of some fifty or more Grand Jurisdictions including names, dates, statistics, etc., it was a valuah'''^ tool. The report was voluminous, it was costly, and distribution was limited to those members attending the Grand Lodge Session. The Committee felt that most members would not be exposed to the information, cind those who were probably did not take the time to consume all of the information. We proposed a brief report of no more than fifteen Grand Jurisdictions' activities be included in each issue of the KANSAS MASON. This publication is received by all members of Kansas Lodges - not just those attending the Annual Communication. Each individual report would be limited to a short concise paragraph vriiich would include bits of information we believed would be of interest to the average Mason. 0\ar program this year has not developed as anticipated. Because of the very limited time - from approval of the program until publication of the April issue of the KANSAS MASON - no report could be prepared. A report was included in the second issue. For reasons beyond our control, the last two editions have not had committee reports. Through the approved method, the Committee still feels more Masons would have the opportunity to receive and, hopefully, read reports of activities in other jurisdictions. It might even generate ideas for actions and activities in the Lodges.

Proceedings of the

March

With a reasonable assvurance from the Grand Master and the Editor of our exceptionally fine publication that we may expect space in each issue of the KANSAS MASON, we recommend the continuance of this method of reporting. Without such an assureince, we propose returning to the publication of a booklet as previously done. Another suggestion would be the mailing of a full reporc to each Lodge with their copy of the Grand Lodge Proceedings .. . but would it be read with any more vigor and enthusiasm than are the Proceedings? The Committee asks for guidance from the Brethren as to what af^roach should be taken in fulfilling the duties and obligations of this Committee. Fraternally sutanitted. Robert H.

REPORT OP GRAKD LODGE PUBLICATIONS COMMITTEE M: .W: . William F. Mcintosh, PGM, Chairman, submitted the following report which, on his motion, was accepted: To the M:-W:. Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: As chairman of the Grand Lodge Publications Committee, this is my fifth report to this Grand Lodge. In order to husband Grand Lodge runds, this year THE KANSAS MASON was reduced to four issues, instead of the usual six. Also, the type of paper was upgraded at the suggestion of several of the brethren. With the October 1982 issue, the Kansas Masonic Home began a four page insertion called, "The Landmark". Some of the newsworthy items appearing in the four issues were: * Kansas Lodge of Research presents W:. Harry Carr, a distinguished English Masonic scholar, to the Masons of Kansas in several meetings. * Midwest Conference on Masonic Education meets in Wichita. * 126th Annual Communication of Grand Lodge reported. * The deaths of Past Grand Masters Floyd S. Ecord and William H. Harrison noted. * Clifton Lodge No. 122 and Pottawatomie Lodge No. 52 celebrate 100th Anniversaries. * W:. Ollie Woodman receives 75 year pin and installed as Master of Holton Lodge No.42. * W:. Kenneth N. Pomeroy celebrates 95th birthday at Orient Lodge No. 51. * Satanta Hospital cornerstone dedication ceremony. * "Short" Cox day celebration at Rose Hill noted. * Lindsborg dedicates new lodge hall. With the reduction in the number of issues, even though the grade of paper was improved, we were within the budgetary limitations. Many lodges have submitted articles for publication which your committee appreciates, and encourages more lodges to go and do likewise. The Grand Master's confidence in us is appreciated, and we thank him for the privilege and opportunity to serve the Grand Lodge of Kansas.

REPORT OF FOREIGN RELATIONS COMMITTEE M:.W:. Forrest D. Haggard, PGM, Chairman, gave the following report which, on his

motion, was adopted: To the M:.W:. Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: This Committee wishes to express its appreciation to our Grand Master, Robert G. Jackson, for his confidence in appointing us. We are thankful to our Grand Secretary and his able staff for their aid and cooperation. We lift up the office of GRAND REPRESENTATIVE and pay homage to those among that select group who, through the office of our Grand Secretary, performed their various duties of contact and communication. We commend to your re-reading the pamphlet "On Being a Grand Representative" which is published by the Masonic Service Association. We have acted on behalf of this Grand Lodge in extending both congratulations and condolences, where needed, in foreign Grand Lodges with whom we are in regular affiliation. We wish to report a satisfactory conclusion to the matter with the Grand Lodge of South Africa and that we have exchanged Representatives. We are happy to report, also, that Freemasonry in Italy, from all our correspondence and communication, has returned to regular activities. We have had the usual "individual" pleas for money written vmder the guise of the sponsorship of some foreign Grand Lodge. Should you ever receive such a request, you should at once communicate with the Grand Secretary and let his office handle the situation . There have been some attempts to gain recognition for so-called Grand Lodges in nations where suppression and dictatorship are the rule of the day. These matters require careful watch. Your Committee appreciates the sense of Unity and Fraternal Fellowship that exists within Kansas Freemasonry. Fraternally submitted. Forrest D. Haggard, PGM, Chairman Harold B.

REPORT OF TRIALS AND PUNISHMENTS COMMITTEE M:.W:. Arthur C. Hodgson, PGM, Chairman, gave the following report which, on his motion, was adopted: To the M:.W:. Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: The committee this year has received two new cases for disposition, and this conâres with six cases reported in the last report for 1982. As of the date this report is written, one case has been handled by a plea of guilty, and the other case is awaiting trial, tîch was continued once because of a large snow storm in the state where the accused resides. The t%/o cases handled this year are referred to by number so that the Craft may be aware of what sort of charges have been preferred . 1. A member was charged with possession of stolen property. A plea of guilty was entered together with a request for leniency. The vote of the committee was for-esûlsion, although the vote was not unanimous.

2. A member was charged and convicted of a felony involving the theft of money. The member has entered a plea of "not guilty" and the matter is set for trial to the committee but the trial has not been had. Service on this conmiittee is never pleasant. However, we appreciate the confidence of the Grand Master in ^pointing us to a committee vrtiich calls for maturity and fairness. We hope that each brother hearing or reading this report will reflect on the results which may flow from a cheurge by its lodge of unmasonic conduct. A reflection on the results will, hopefully, encourage every thinking Mason to avoid all improprieties and all conduct in violation of the precepts of Freemasonry. Respectfully submitted. Arthur C.

We want to thank the Grand Master and Council of Administration for authorizing an increase in the third and fourth place scholarship awards and the addition of a fifth place award. This certainly gave the Essay Contest a big boost.

Special Project Two years ago, this committee began a project to encourage local lodges to distribute the book "Why Public Schools" by Illustrious Henry C. Clausen, 33*^, to their local and school libraries. If your lodge has not participated ih this project, we hope that you will do so during the coming year. The book is still available through the Grand Secretary's office at $5 each postpaid. Recommendation Subsequent to a recommendation made by this committee at the last Grand Lodge session, the Council of Administration approved a proposal by the Grand Master to contact the Board of Directors of the Kansas Masonic Foiindation relative to establishment and housing of an endowment fund'^o assist in financing the scholarship awards of the Grand Lodge of Kansas on a permanent basis. It is our recommendation that the Council of Administration and the Board of Directors of the Foundation continue their efforts to create this endowment fund to the end that there might be a permanent fund for scholarship awards for higher education available. Conclusion We would like to thank our Grand Master, M: .W:. Robert G. Jackson, for giving us this opportunity to serve the Craft and for his strong support of the public schools programs throughout the year. Our thanks also go to Brothers Albert O. Arnold, Jr., and David L. Recob and all of the Grand Secretary' s staff for their hard work cind support during the year. Also to M: .W:. William F. Mcintosh, PQi, our thanks for his support through the pages of the KANSAS MASON. Finally, Brethren, the public schools program has come a long way since the first Essay Contest was held in 1961. There have been both improvements and growth, but we still have a long way to go. There are still many lodges that have never held a local essay contest. If your lodge is participating in the public schools programs, you already know how rewarding they can be. If not, we hope that you will do so in the coming year. Your lodge will benefit not only from the increased activity, but also from "a favorable opinion conceived of the institution" in your community. Fraternally submitted. John A. Schowalter, Chairman Damon M. Grimes Willis G. Keesecker Jimmy D. King Donald L. Woofter

Proceedings of the

To the M:.W:. Grand Lodge of A.P. & A.M. of Kansas: The Special Committee to Study Feasibility of Conducting Stated Meetings in the First Degree submits the following report: Our Grand Master, M:-W:. Robert G. Jackson, has constantly searched for means to reverse the present trend of declining membership. He appointed this committee to rese2irch a subject which might develop greater interest in the Fraternity among our initiates. His instructions were that any resulting recommendations should conform to the Laws and not violate the prohibition of innovation. The committee chose to investigate the practice of Canadian Grcuid Lodges to conduct the business of the Lodges in the Entered Apprentice Degree. This is established by Ancient Custom and Usage as practiced by the Mother Grand Lodge of England and many other Grand Lodges throughout the world. Correspondence with Past Grand Masters and the Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge of Canada, in the Province of Ontario, revealed that it is most unusual for that jurisdiction to have an Entered Apprentice who fails to advance to the Degree of a Master Mason within a reasonable length of time. They attribute this to the fact that Entered Apprentices and Fellow Crafts are literally recognized as Brothers immediately after assuming the obligation of the First Degree. They are granted privileges beyond that which this committee deems practical in this jurisdiction. The association provided by this system naturally develops a closer affinity with members who can and will assist them in their search for further light. The committee concluded that by returning to the original practice of conducting Stated Meetings in the First Degree, we would effectively reduce the growing numbers of initiates who fail to advance to a higher degree each year, and ainplify the Candidate's enthusiasm which pron^ted him to petition for the Mysteries. Our present adopted system instructs the candidate that by appelation he is a Mason after taking his obligation in the First Degree. To properly in5)ress him, we present him with a lambskin, which in most cases we retain in the possession of the Lodge. For all practical purposes, we deny him fellowship with his Brothers except the contact he has with the coach assigned to him. Under these conditions, perhaps we are fortunate to caaiplete the work on as many as we do. It was the consensus of the committee that the Grand Master select a limited number of Lodges who volunteer to test the practice of our Mother Grand Lodge in conducting Stated Meetings in the First Degree, after consulting with the Committee on Jurisprudence on the proper manner to administer the program. The test period was inaugurated January 8, 1983. Your committee has monitored the Stated Meetings held in the participating Lodges, and has carefully considered a number of questionable aspects. We concur in our belief that enabling legislation which must be acccai^ilished through constitutional amendments should be presented at this Communication. If this is adopted emd ratified by the required number of Constituent Lodges, it would be proclaimed at the next Annual Communication. The incoming Grand Master has assured us that the test period will be continued through the 1983-84 year, and that he will reappoint this committee to supervise the project. We feel this experience will enable us to propose By-Law amendments to properly administer the program. We, therefore, propose that Article XI, Section 2, of the Constitution be amended to read:. "Section 2. Degrees for Business. The Grand Lodge shall be opened on the Third Degree for the transaction of business, except as may be expressly provided by law, or shall be contrary to Masonic usage. Provided, When conducting public ceremonies, except funerals, it shall be opened on the First Degree. A Lodge may be opened on the First Degree for the transaction of all business, except as may be especially provided hy law, or shall be contrary to masonic usage." Respectfully suluoitted, Ben W.

REPORT OF CHURCH-LODGE RELATIONS COMMITTEE W:. Andrew E. Olson, Chairman, made the following report which, on his motion, was accepted and referred to the Ritualistic Work Committee: To the M:-W:. Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: Masons should always remember that Masonry is not a religion, and that it should never be considered as one's religion. However, it should inspire every Mason to be a good church member in his own religion. In other words, he who is true to the principles which he learns in Freemeisonry, will be a better church member, just as being a good church member should make one a better Mason. In Masonry we are taught to recognize and to promote the Brotherhood of Man through the Fatherhood of God. Our regular attendance at the church of our choice will give Masonry a better image in the community and before the Clergy. One of the duties of the lodge Chaplain should be to encourage regular attendance. The Master of each lodge should make his presence known to the local Clergy and the lodge should cooperate with the churches within its area wherever it can. The lodge should also include the local Clergy in the open activities of the lodge to the extent that is practical and acceptable. The Masonic funeral is one place vrtiere the lodge and craft come into direct contact with the Clergy eind the public. It is very important that the Masonic funeral is conducted properly and with utmost dignity. The family of the deceased should be contacted at once, as should the pastor of the church of the deceased. Many times the Pastor is not acquainted with the Masonic customs, and if the family of the deceased desire a Masonic service, he should be consulted so that the Masonic service can fit in, and not conflict, with his service. The Masonic funeral service is being used in the church or funeral chapel more all of the time, especially in inclement weather. This should be a recommended practice, and probably the funeral service should be rewritten so it would be more adaptable for use inside. Many of our new lodge halls are ground floor meeting rooms which could very well be used for the funeral of a brother, and that use of the Lodge room should be acceptable if the service is not to be held in his church. Many times the funeral chapel is very small, and the lodge room would be more able to contain those congregated for the service. The funeral service is the most inpressive ceremony which we can hold in public and, if properly done, it can improve the image of Masonry. St. Johns Day observance is recommended by our Grand Master each year. We encourage each lodge to hold some type of St. Johns Day observance, preferably a public observance. With the number of ministers who are members of the Craft being fewer than in the past, we probably need to inform the Clergy of the significant place of St. Johns Day in our lodges. If they are properly informed on the several Masonic customs, they will be better able to perform a St. Johns Day service or Masonic funeral service. The Clergy can be informed without our giving away any of the Masonic Secrets. The Masonic service should never conflict with, or detract from, the regular church service. The Ritualistic Committee should give special attention to the reports of the ChurchLodge Committee of 1975 when W:. and Rev. Brother Leslie M. Heisz was chairman, and to the report of the Committee in 1980 by Chairman W: . and Rev. Brother Conrad F. Johnson. Their recommendations were all very pertinent, and should be considered in rewriting the funeral service. Information can also be obtained from other Grand Jurisdictions, especially those from the Grand Jurisdiction of Tennessee which has a new service, some of which was borrowed from Michigan. It is in a form from v^ich the ceremony can be read, if necessary, and the booklet has the deceased brother's Masonic History included; and the booklet is presented to the family at the conclusion of the service. The "open letter concerning Masonic Funerals" should be rewritten and redistributed to the Clergy and to all funeral establishments through the local lodges. Respectfully submitted, Andrew E. Olson, Chairman William J. Brown Edward N. Pratt Eugene O. Sturm Robert W. Wallace

REPORT OF RITUALISTIC COMMITTEE M:.W:. J. Fred Williamson, PCM, Chairman, presented the following report which, on his motion, was accepted: To the M: .W: . GrEind Lodge of A.F. s A.M. of Kansas: A meeting of the Ritualistic Connnittee was held in Salina Lodge No. 60 the second week in August. A program for the District meetings was formulated and a school of instruction was held for the Lecturers. The day was spent in promoting uniformity of the Ritual and Floor Movements throughout this Grand Jurisdiction. The district meetings were held this year in each district. Scaae of the meetings had to be rescheduled because of bad weather and illness. The Lecturers and the District Deputies are to be con^slimented for a fine job- Attendance was very good in some districts and poor in others. Leadership in the Lodge and Districts are reflected in the attendance figures. This Cramnittee is very concerned about proficiency in this Grand Jurisdiction. In the coming year greater effort is going to be necessary if we are to turn this situation, around. The staff of Lecturers cannot be too highly praised for the fine job that they do for Masonry in this state. We all owe them a debt of gratitude. Fraternally submitted. J. Fred Williamson, PGM, Chairman C. Travis Spencer John Stover James Stradley E. Dean Osbom REPORT OF TOTAL YOUTH COMMITTEE W:. Craig L. Davidson, Chairman, gave the following report which, on his motion, was aK>roved: To the M:-W:. Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: At the time of the last Grand Lodge session, the Total Youth Conmiittee adopted the "A.c.E." program of involvement with out Masonic Youth groups. ACE stands for Attend, Communicate, and Encourage, and is descriptive of the committee's efforts this year. Two programs were successfully initiated this year which, we believe, should be continued. One was the idea of recognizing members of our youth grot:^s for their work through the issuing of recognition certificates. The other project was the "Focus on Youth" column in the "Kansas Mason" which was devoted to our 3 youth groups. The financial support given by the Grand Lodge to our youth groiqis is much needed and greatly appreciated, and we hope these contributions will continue and significantly increase. We are cognizant of the continued interest of the Masons of Kansas in our youth groups cmd - for the good of the young people and Meisonry - we hope this interest grows and flourishes.

REPORT OF THE MASONIC SERVICE ASSOCIATION R:.W:. Stewart Pollard, Executive Secretary of the Masonic Service Association, briefly reported on the activities of the Association, and paid high tribute Harley Henry, Sr., Field Agent at Colmery-O'Neil V.A. Medical Center, and Alvin K. Banman, Field Agent at Leavenworth V.A. Medical Center, for their long and devoted service at the Medical Centers. M.S.A. REPORT - LEAVENWORTH V.A. W:. Alvin K. Banman, Field Agent at the Leavenworth V.A. Medical Center, presented the following report which, on a motion, was accepted: To the M:.W:. Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: I am pleased to make this report for the period March 1982 to March 1983. The calling on V.A. patients is not a full time or every day of the week job, but is done on an "as needed" basis and, usually, on Fridays of each week. We consider the visiting of patients to be the most iii?>ortant part of our activity, but we do participate in other parts of the total voluntary service program. This past year we sponsored a Watermelon Feed and a Milk Bottle Throw for patients. We also instituted an informal meeting of masonic brothers on the first and third

Proceedings of the

Thursday of each week in the Director of Domiciliary Care's conference room. Atrayown expense, I put on tape several masonic short tcilk subjects, and play them for the Masons who meet in this group. It proosotes interest and keeps the brother informed on tc^ics of interest to the Craft. As usual, the Grand Lodge has been kind enough to provide money for us to issue free canteen booklets to patients at Christinas time and to pay for watermelons for the Watermelon Feed. We thank the Grand Lodge and the Masons of Kansas for this kind support. The Leavenworth Hi-Twelve Club also donates $60 a year towards our needs at the center. We continue to assist patients in contacting their respective masonic lodge to keep their dues current and their membership in good standing. Brothers who have problems with membership are advised how to proceed to correct the problem on an individual basis. This past year, Bro. Tom Daugherty of the Masonic Service Association in Washington, D.C., visited the Leavenworth V.A. Medical Center and all Masons therein. His visit was a huge success and of great importance to us. We thank the Masons vrtio made this visit possible. Our thanks, again, to W: . Bro. Glenn Knapp, Deputy M.S.A. Representative, and Chairman of the Kansas Grand Lodge Committee, "Operation KAN", for his work with patients eind an^utees in addition to his regular visitation work. It was for me a high honor to again be named"Outstanding Mason was also given to me in 1975. I deeply appreciate the high trust me by the Grand Masters making the aweirds, and hope I deserve the age and logging over 14,000 hours of vol\inteer work in the M.S.A. assure you that you get more out of what you put into any masonic

for 1982". This honor and confidence given to honors. At 83 years of hospital program, I can program.

Respectfully submitted, Alvin K. Banman, Field Agent M.S.A. REPORT - COLMERY-O'NEIL V.A. Brother Harley Henry, Sr-, Field Agent at the Colmery-O'Neil V.A. Medical Center, Topeka, stjbmitted the following report which, on a motion, was accepted: To the M:.W:. Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: The Masonic Service Association, working with patients at the V.A. Medical Center in Topeka, is pleased to make this report for the period March 1982 to March 1983. At present, there are 17 R.S. volunteers working in Recreation Therapy, Social Work Service and Community Program, Medical Service (CardiacRehab Program) and Nursing Service, with four full time VAVS Representatives - myself, Chris Henriksen, Perry Uhl and Harry McCrae. We provide a daily visit to the patients in the center. Our main goal and objective is to keep the many programs going that we are now involved in throughout the medical center and cinmminity. We also pleui to recruit more volunteers to he^p us maintain our visitation program. The V.A. Medical Center Newsletter (1,000 circulation) is used to publicize many of our activities. Recreation Therapy displays posters throughout the medical, center advertising programs sponsored by the M.S.A. Oxxr local "Square and Coiopass" and "Kansas Mason" newspapers are very cooperative in advertising our volunteer acconplishments and "needs" of the mason at the medical center. We have not recruited non-members to serve with our organization. In the future we intend to recruit volunteers, especially for the larger group activities **e sponsor. The M.S.A. potential to provide RS volunteers is fairly good, and we have shown an increase in RS volunteers this past year. The representatives and deputies are very active in many masonic units. This past year the different Masonic Service organizations throughout our service area were "kept informed" by talks made by the representative and his deputies. This was very instrumental in soliciting help to sponsor patient activities like - "Chicken Dinner" for the Nursing Home Care unit and Family - Shriner Circus tickets - Watermelon Feed to over 900 patients Ice Cream Social for 260 patients - Popcorn Stand at patient carnival - and other related activities planned on a regular basis to fill en^ty time on patients' hands.

Our "working and personal" relationship with the medical center and voluntary service staff is excellent. They go the extra mile to help us in our service to the veteran. In addition to the above services, we have provided transportation for many veterans by using our own personal automobiles without reimbursement, serve coffee and cookies monthly for patients in Psychiatry, and distribute canteen books to masonic and other deserving patients. We again want to thank the M: .W:. Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Kansas, and Topeka Lodge No. 17; Orient Lodge No. 51; Golden Rule Lodge No. 90; Siloara Lodge No. 225; Seabrook Lodge No. 385; and the Topeka Squeire and Compass Cl\ib for funding our operations in this medical center for the V.A. patient. Respectfully submitted, Harley Henry, Sr., Field Agent

SPECIAL PRESENTATION M:.W:. Robert G. Jackson, Grand Master, informed the Grand Lodge that he had requested the officers of Delaware Lodge No. 96, Kansas City, to be prepared to assume the seats of the Grand Lodge Officers and preside for a short period of time; so that a demonstration could be made of the correct manner in which a lodge could, after opening on the Third Degree of Masonry, change to and conduct the business of the lodge while opened on the First Degree. The officers participating in the demonstration were: L. F. Holder, Master; G. Angell, Senior Warden; C. Pape, Junior Warden; G. Lough, Treasurer; N. A. Angell, Jr., Secretary; L. Shannon, Senior Deacon; L. Romero, Jr., Junior Deacon; E. E. Sodders, Senior Steward; D. H. Colwell, Junior Steward; R. P. Jeselnik, Tyler; J. R. Smothers, Chaplain. Due to the time, a con?)lete demonstration was not possible. However, the portion given was well done and received favorably by the assembled Brethren.

REPORT OF FINANCE COMMITTEE M:.W:. Ralph D. Walker, PGM, Chairman, presented a preliminary report covering the proposed budget and estimated expenditures as shown in the Grand Secretary's report. A final and cconplete report will be given on Saturday. M:.W:. Walker, as requested by the Grand Master, urged the lodge representatives to return and ask their lodges to appoint Finance Committees, and that these committees establish budgets in the individual lodges. The importance of budgeting was further discussed by M: .W:. Walker in light of increasing expenses and the difficulties encountered in operating and maintaining lodges. The preliminary report was adopted as given.

REPORT ON THE ORDER OF DEMOLAY IN KANSAS Brother Dennis A. Daugherty, Executive Officer, reported on the condition and activities of the Order of DeMolay in Kansas, stating that the Order was doing well and thanked the Grand Lodge and Constituent Lodges of Kansas for the si^iport received.

REPORT OF MASONIC EDUCATION COMMITTEE W:. Richard D. Overton, representing M:.W:. Richard D. Kelsey, PGM, Chairman, gave the following report which, on his motion was accepted.

To the M:

Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Kansas:

New faces, new ideas, new experiences and new materials characterize Masonic Education in Kansas in 1982, Bros. Larry Eckhoff and James Nolte were the new faces on the committee this year. An expanded program of Area Meetings - in which a meeting was held in each of the twelve Areas of the State - provided the main thrust for education this past year. The Area Committees, consisting of the ADGM and the DDGM's within the Area, selected the date and place for their meeting and made the local arrangements. This was a shift of planning responsibility in order to better suit the needs of the Area. New teams of Masonic Educators were selected by the four team leaders: Richard Overton, Larry Hinegardner, Richard Porter and Irwin Gedney. Each of these four teams conducted three of the Area Meetings. Although this was a first, it proved to be a good experience, in that new talent was brought to the surface in each Area of the state. The use of these teeuns allowed more than one meeting to be held on a given date, and also reduced the mileage es^ense in carrying out the twelve meetings. Leadership Development and Standing Committees were the materials presented. A new Leadership Manual was put to use for the first time this year. Reception of the leaders and materials was excellent by those in attendcince. However, as in years past, far too many lodge officers did not avail themselves of this training. Hosting the Midwest Conference on Masonic Education in May was a great honor and a lot of hard work. This conference brings together Masonic Educators from twelve midwestern states. It was held in the Scottish Rite Ten5>le at Wichita. The highlight of the conference was the presence of Bro. Harry Carr, renowned Masonic Scholar from England who addressed the conference on "600 Years of Craft Masonry". This coincided with the installation of officers of the Kansas Lodge of Research. R:.W:. Richard Porter and his staff and Bro. Richard Overton and his wife, Bonnie, are to be given much of the credit for the success of the conference moving so smoothly. The Committee responded to a request from Grand Master Jackson to conduct a summer seminar for the Area and District Deputy Grand Masters. This was held in August at Salina with the hope that these leaders would enter into their fall visits with a new burst of enthusiasm. As the final business of the Committee, the chairman assumed the responsibility to complete a survey of lodge consolidations during the past ten years. Investigation was made as to size of the lodge consolidating, location, membership retention, and comparison of consolidated and non-consolidated lodges. There is little evidence that consolidation is an invigorating influence either on membership participation or membership retention. In conclusion, I would thank M: .W:. Robert G. Jackson for giving me the privilege to work with so many dedicated Masons across the jurisdiction. Three years ago we pioneered a program which was designed to build participation by sharing the responsibilities of lodge operation. There was nothing new about our working tools, which had been on our lawbooks for many years. We just wanted lodges to catch a vision of what a feeling of ownership could do for their lodges. The past two years we have built on this framework. To Irwin Gedney and Richard Overton, words would never ei^ress my thanks to them for all their labors on behalf of this fraternity. To those in the Council of Administration, I thank you for your patience and guidance. I hope that the time spent with Masonic Education was not a loss for you. Finally, to those lodge officers who made themselves available for training, this Committee appreciates your support and your suggestions for iii5)roving the educational endeavors of this Grand Jurisdiction. I eun sure that your lodge has benefited from your leadership development, and we receive "our wages" from having had a small part in it. Fraternally submitted. Richard D. Kclsey, PGM, Irwin L. Gedney, ADGM Richard D. Overton Leirry Eckhoff James Nolte

Foundation's general fund will be hard pressed to meet even a small part of these needs. It would require increased support from individual Masons and Lodges. I would certainly suggest, if you or your Lodge is considering a special donation or fund raising activity, that you give serious consideration to the needs of the Kansas Masonic Oncology Clinic. Nearly 500 cancer patients a month, and their families, know with sincere appreciation what this Clinic and the charity of Masons have meant in their lives. Another program which has shown considerable activity, is the Scholarship Loan Program which offers low interest student loans to Kansas youth. Interest in this program and the large number of applications required a cut-off date early last summer for consideration of applications for the 1982-83 school year. We simply ran out of available funds and loan amounts had to be granted at less than actual need for those students whose loans were approved. In total, twelve students entered the program this year, a record number, with total loan amounts of $45,750.00. From the number of applications we already have received this year, we can expect the Scholarship Loan Program again to be hard pressed to meet the need. Through the formation of an Investment Committee from among its Board of Trustees, the Foundation has taken a renewed look at where and how its endowment fund is invested. The committee has placed emphasis upon investing in Kansas financial institutions around the state and in Kansas business. It has," for instance, placed many short term Certificates of Deposit in a number of Kansas banks and savings & loan institutions in each area of the state. In a very real sense these investments, and others, are not only working for the growth of the Foundation, but also are at work in your commimities, the very communities from which you have shown interest in the Foundation and supported it with your gifts. In the third quarter of this fiscal year, the total assets of the Foundation for the first time passed half a million dollars. It has been a milestone for us. But it is still very small in relationship to the potential which we already know will someday be realized. As I travel and visit Lodges, I always have to comment on the fact that I probably will be given credit in the future for many things which my predecessor, Brother Bill Bogue, already had accomplished. It is because of his hard work for so many years, that the Foundation will someday benefit from several large trusts and numerous bequests of which we are aware, and most assuredly several more of which we are not. The Foundation is in line to receive several million dollars of future, deferred gifts which can be directly traced to his efforts. I want to emphasize this because I don't want you to forget what Bill Bogue has done, and because I don't want you to forget that it is these types of large, deferred gifts and bequests which will determine the future success or failure of the Kansas Masonic Foundation. We need you to continue to be our eyes and ears in your communities to help identify those, individuals who might have an interest in such programs. One pf my priorities for the coming year will be to work closer with the Lodges, providing them with more information about the Foundation and offering them ways to use the Foundation to increase participation by their members in Lodge activities and to be more active in their communities on behalf of Masonry. I hope to do this in several ways. We will be able to provide several programs at stated meetings. We will work more closely with Lodge secretaries concerning such things as Memorial gifts for deceased Lodge members. This year the Foundation can expect to receive more than $8,000.00 in Memorial contributions, but often there is little understanding on the part of Lodge secretaries and the families of deceased Masons about how this, program works and the many different ways Memorial gifts may be made to meet the special wishes of the deceased and his family.

Finally, we want to work more closely with the Lodge's Foundation Committee. We already have started a newsletter for these members and a workbook and guide for new committee members. This is perhaps the one committee in each Lodge which has not been sufficiently active. That is our fault. We want to go to work to give the Foundation Committee in your Lodge the information and support to take a more active role. For myself personally, this past year has been one of learning and growing. I often tell Lodges.where I visit that the best benefits of my job are the people I have met and have had the privilege with which to work. Everyone has been more than helpful and I can't even begin to thank each special individual. I do want to express my appreciation for the support of the Most Worshipful Grand Master, Robert G. Jackson, and the Grand Lodge Officers. Also the staff of the Grand Lodge and my own secretary who have shown me "the ropes". Most especially, I am grateful for the leadership of the Foundation's President, Harold R. Fatzer, the Board of Directors and the Board of Trustees. Everywhere I have traveled I have been met with open and sincere hospitality and interest from everyone; from Area DGMs, District DGMs, Masters, Secretaries, other Lodge officers and their families. They have made this past year most enjoyable. It is their support and work which have made the year most successful for me and for the Foundation. If everyone could see Masonry from my viewpoint, we would indeed have few problems. I thank you, and I thank them. I look forward to working with you for the future. Fraternally submitted, Curtis W. Cary Executive Director

REPORT OF THE KANSAS MASONIC HOME ADMINISTRATOR Brother Jerry D. Lindenbaum, Administrator of the Kansas Masonic Home, gave the following report which, on his motion, was accepted. To the M:.W:. Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: Our Kansas Masonic Home progresses as we all do with time. 1982 proved to be a year of uncertainty but yet full of expectation. The economic climate in our country was at best rocky, and the many problems facing us are yet to be resolved. At our Masonic Home much of the year was spent in planning for the future. In the midst of planning for our Residential renovation. Endowment and Capital projects and all the other Long Range Programs, we did manage to put into place several new programs. In January, we engaged in a full time Occupation Therapy program. In March, our Home Health Agency beceune a reality after nine months of planning. In September, the Home embarked t:^>on three new medical programs with the Department of Sc^.ial Rehabilitation Services. The Kansas Masonic Home was fortunate to bring Bruce Humphrey aboard in October to direct our Social Services and Admission programs. Brother John Myers, Director of Development, presented his Long Range plans to the Kansas Masonic Home Board and began to inclement the vcirious itens on his agenda.

In August, our Apartment Nursing program was restructured under the title of Clinical Services to work with our Residental area. In November, under the direction of M:.W:. Grand Master Robert G. Jackson, the Home began the First Annual Masonic Home Pilgrimage for Kansas.Masonry to visit their Masonic Home. As 1983 unfolds, we plan to aggressively pursue our Long Range plans while continuing to educate and enlighten the Craft in Kansas about our wonderful Kansas Masonic Home. Without our Craft's support and blessing, the programs we embark upon have little meaning. I feel the Home has made deep inroads in working with Kansas Masonry, continuing to elicit their support. Testament to this fact can be made by looking at the level of contributions. Even during the worst economic year in the United States since the end of World Weur II, Kansas Masons and O.E.S. kept their level of contributions ec[ual to most years. Our Craft cares and means so much to the 205 Brothers and Sisters who reside at our Home. 1983 will be a good year seeing some of our expectations fulfilled while dreaming and planning others for the futture. Our whole mission revolves around enhancing and living up to the principles of Free Masonry. These principles are your Kansas Masonic Home. Repairs and Replacements Our regular program of repairs and maintenance has been followed this year. The Home added another part-time painter and more areas are being spruced up. The Air Capital Yard Service continues to give the Home excellent yard and ground support. The major improvements in this area were the flower beds in the O.E.S. Chapel area and new trees and the Rose Garden on the West Side, sponsored by Nova Chapter. O.E.S. Our Architectural firm of Thomas, Harris, Ash & Mason has been reviewing items for Long Range Planning and repairs. They are currently working on several projects: 1. West Side Renovation 2. Trunk Room Remodeling 3. West Side Call System 4. Old Health Care Center Uses Finally, we purchased the following equipment for the departments this past year: Health Care Center 3 Shaw Walkers 1 Geri Chair 4 Wheelchairs 1 Typewriter File Cabinets

HecLlth Care Center After an excellent State Licensure and Medlccild/Medicare survey this fall, we received our Health Care Center license in November. Congratulations eire in order to all the Health Care Center Staff for their unending efforts to take care of our Brothers and Sisters in the-Health Ceure Center, delivering the highest in quality care. We were pleased to have Lois Wolgcunott join us in January, 1982. Lois is cin Occupational Therapist eind has been doing great work. Mrs. Wilson and her staff have also been involved in Geriatric trcu.ning progrcuns in which student nurses from Wichita State University, Kansas Newman and St. Mary's of the Plains College train at our Kansas Masonic Home. I am very appreciative of Mrs. Wilson's commitment- to Nursing education. January, 1983, is the Second Anniversary of our new Health Care Center. It certainly has fulfilled its promise. We at the Home are happy that its future is bright. Worthy Grand Matron's Project Sister Marcie Holloway chose a beautiful project this year. fRie landscaping of the O.E.S. Chapel curea is wonderful. The O.E.S. Star and trees and shrubs really made this area beautiful. I Vant to thank Sister Marcie for this wonderful project. It certainly has enhcuiced the beauty of our Home. Long Range Planning The Long Range Planning Committee of the Home Board, under the skillful guidance of M:.W:. Forrest D. Haggard, PGM, has been working diligently this year. The Committee is in the process of develc^ing a 10 to 20 year plan involving fund raising, capital building programs and service programs. It is hoped by the Spring, these plans will be con^leted. Home Health Agency The Home was indeed fortunate to bring Helen Chamberlain, R.N., to the Staff to direct our Home Health Agency in March, 1982. The Kansas Masonic Home - Home Health Agency is now 9 months old. The Agency received its Medicare certification and has seen its patient load double about every three months. With the advent of an involvement with Medicaid's Home and Conmunity Bcised Services, the patient load will increase further. We have been able to help many Masons and their families throur^h this home based service. Education We are continuing our efforts to provide education to our enployees as -well as students in the various Health fields. We have maintained our clinical programs with Wichita State University, Kansas Newman and St. Mary's of the Plains as well as the practicum programs with Wichita State University.

*Denotes comparison to previous fiscal year reports. Development With the completion of my first year as Director of Development at your Kansas Masonic Home, I have very much enjoyed meeting with members of the Craft from throughout this jurisdiction. In sharing the Kansas Masonic Home Story with you, your input has been most Invaluable in assessing the best path toward "The Possible Dream" of loving care provided our over 200 Home Residents. The Kansas Masonic Home truly stands at the center of all that is good in Freemasonry. While The Home provides our Residents the rewards of refreshment from life's labors, it likewise provides the Craft and Order of The Eastern Star the opportunity to see our

great principles put into action. Your actions this year have indeed spoken louder than words; your continued support is very much appreciated! Information is provided in the following areas: Visitations In 1982, through the combined efforts of The Home Administrator, Director of Public Relations and Director of Development, coordinated visits were made to a number of Lodges and Chapters throughout the State. During these visitations. The Kansas Masonic Home Story was presented in an interesting and informative manner. In 1983, it is hoped that the number of these presentations can be increased. Masters, Secretaries and other interested parties are urged to contact The Office of Development to arramge a program for their respective organizations. Endowment An increase in The Home Endowment Fund can help insure financial stability in this age of sky-rocketing costs. Ten years ago. The Home Endowment was $5.4 Million; The Home budget was $892,000. Today, The Home Endowment is $6 Million; The Home budget is $3.2 Million. Ten years ago, interest earned from the Endowment, along with member assessments, provided The Kansas Masonic Home operational income. Today, interest earned from the Endowment, combined with member assessments, provides only one-quarter of The Home's operational income. It is easy to see from these figures that interest earned from a substantial Endowment can potentially provide the major portion of your Home's operational income. Capital Projects With completion of the new 120 bed Health Care Center in 1981, the stage is set for continued renewal of our West Side Residential facilities. The Long Range Planning Committee, charged with determining the appropriate route to take in facilitating this renewal, has moved with deliberation toward that objective. The careful planning and execution of these much needed improvements will soon be ready for presentation to the Craft and Order of The Eastern Star. Estate Planning Gifts of Estates and Trusts to The Kansas Masonic Home in 1982 total $638,120.63. The 1982 Tax Equity and Financial Responsibility Act (TEFRA) maintains substantial tax advantages for charitable gifts. Gifts of long term appreciated securities and real estate are deductible at their full fair market value with the added avoidance of capital gains tax on appreciation. Tax Laws are admittedly quite complicated. The Kansas Masonic Home is currently working with our Legal Counsel in drawing up several of the most advantageous Estate Plans in the form of "Pooled Income" and "Charitable Remainder Trusts". We can also suggest language to be incorporated into a will, as well as "Remainder Interest" in a deed. As in any legal transaction, we suggest that the investor party(s) contact his/ her Attorney or Accountant for advice pertinent to his/her specific situation. Gifts such as these are a fitting way to allow one's name...and good works...to live on as Masonry-in-action4 X 4 Fund This past year witnessed an increase in percentage on 4 X 4 pledge returns, with many pledges reaching their maturity. 4 x 4 contributions in 1982 totalled $69,497.50. West Side Air Conditioning Fund At the 1982 Annual Communication, I reported that of 389 reporting lodges, only 82 had met or exceeded their $3,00 per capita goal; 122 Lodges had made no contribution. At last year's Annual Communication, the 1982 Air Conditioning Fund totalled $116,965.81. As of the 1983 Communication, of 389 reporting Lodges, 116 have met or exceeded their $3.00 per capita goal; 92 Lodges have made no contribution. The Air Conditioning Fund total currently stands at $137,522.85. Memorials and Gifts Gifts made in recognition of departed loved ones, as well as Anniversaries, Birthdays, and other evidences of caring, totalled $17,625.93

West Side Dining Room Fund Contributions are being accepted for inprovements to the West Residential Dining Room, including new lighting, lowering of the ceiling, and new tables and chairs. Name plaques will he affixed honoring those making gifts to this fund. To date, $13,544.85 has been raised. It should be noted that than)cs to Mrs. Doreen Foster, Worthy Matron of Ivy Leaf O.E.S., Chapter 75, in Wichita, and Mrs. Alice Tabor of The Koine Activities Depeurtment, we now have new curtains cind brighfwall decorations in the Dining Room. Wheelchair Van Fxind At the 1982 Communication, M:.W:. Ralph D. WaUcer, PGM, announced that there was a possibility of buying a needed Wheelchair Van from the wife of a deceased Mason in Goodland, Kansas. This like-new vehicle was purchased for $10,000, the purchase price to be offset by contributions from interested individuals and groups. We have, in fact, raised over $10,000 for that purpose; names of contributors will be stylishly applied to the side panels of the beautiful Van. Grand Master's Toxir of The British Isles The Grand Master's Tour of The British Isles which departed in October, 1982, not only provided those enjoying the trip with cui unforgettable ejq)erience; through eorrangements with Trans National Travel, a portion of the proceeds derived from sponsorship of the tour were returned to The Kansas Masonic Home. In this manner, members were able to enjoy the British Isles and The Home likewise benefited from that enjoyment. Pilgrimage of Thanksgiving The First Annual Pilgrimage of Thanksgiving was a success. All three November Saturday Open Houses were well attended, with total attendance over 500. Of particular interest was the fact that the majority of "Pilgrims" were from outside the Wichita area. Although contributions were not solicited at this event, several large gifts were presented during the Pilgrimage. Dighitcuries in attendance included: M:.W:. Robert G. Jackson, GH, cuid his First Lady; Grand Lodge family, many Area and District Deputies, and Kansas Attorney General, Robert Stephan. "Pilgrims" enjoyed tours, entertainment cuid refreshments. We look forward to meeting old friends. . .and mciking new friends... at subsequent "Pilgrimages". Lodges represented at the "Pilgrimage" will be honored during the 1983 Annual Comnunication. 1896 Conmemorative Masonic Home Grand Opening Program R:.W:. Albert O. Arnold, Jr., Gremd Secretary, offered the idea of printing reproductions of the origincU. Dedication Program of The Kansas Masonic Home, dated September 10th, 1896. These programs, with R:.W:. Arnold's assistance, were printed on authentic paper stock, and offered for piurchase during the "Pilgrimage", and subsequent Lodge and Chester visitations, etc. These programs are an interesting addition to one's Maisonic archives, as well as providing a nice "token" for one's donation. "The Landmark" Masonic Home Newsletter The first "Landmark" Home Newsletter appeared in the October issue of THE KANSAS MASON. It is hoped that all Masons and friends in our jurisdiction share in our exciting Kansas Masonic Home story. "The Landmark" will serve as a source for much of this "Good News". Health Care Center Room/Furnishings Donor Plaques Bronze Plaques honoring those ."purchasing** a Hectlth Care Center Room ($40,000), or "purchasing" furniture therein ($5,000), will be affixed to the roomdoors of that new facility. To date, we have four recipients of Health Care Plaques: the Will G. Price Family ($40,000); the Waddell Estate ($40,000); Ancient Form Lodge #34 ($5,000); Greenleaf Lodge #232 ($5,000). We accept with gratitude these gifts of Love, as we certainly encourage any future considerations.

Appreciation The above information provides only an exaii5>le of the many fine works attended to by many fine Masons and Order of the Eastern Star members from throughout the State. I wish to thank all Lodge and Chapter members for their concern; my appreciation is likewise extended to M: .W: . Robert G. Jackson, Grand Master, and through him to the Kansas Masonic Home Board for their invaluable counsel. I might add that with the leadership of Mr. Jerry B. Lindenbaum, Home Administrator, your Home is in good hands. 1982 was a year of beginnings for me. In 1983, as we begin a new year together, I look forward to sharing in your Brotherhood and generosity, as I share with you the exciting future of your Kansas Masonic Home. In doing so, we can...in the Grand Master's words... insure the "Deliverance of the principles of Freemasonry in today's society". John M. Myers Director of Development This

report is respectfully submitted by, Jerry B. Lindenbaum Administrator

REPORT OF KANSAS MASONIC HOME DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT The portion of the Masonic Home Administrator's Report entitled "Development" was given by Brother John M. Myers, Director of Development, and on his motion it was approved. Brother Myers then gave the following report which, on his motion, was accepted: To the M:.W:. Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: It might not seem appropriate to begin a Masonic presentation with a quotation by a non-Mason, but I will anyway. And when you hear it, I think you'll agree with it. Albert Schweitzer once observed that, "I don't know what your destiny will be, but one thing I

know; the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who have sought and found how to serve." HOW TO SERVE The Kansas Masonic Home's 207 Residents are currently being served by your Kansas Masonic Home. And you,in turn, have served your home well. My address to you today, rather than being intended as a sales pitch for our Home, is a Thank You. You know, too often we forget to say "thanks" for the services rendered by those that seek to help. 1982 was, I feel, a good year. The Kansas Masonic Home has sought - and is seeking to carry our story throughout Kansas. Recently, your Lodge should have received a letter from me concerning presentation of "Our Kansas. Masonic Home Story". I hope you ask me to visit your Lodges. I think I have a unique story to tell. I'd like to share it with you. When you hear of our "Charity Programs", whether it be The Kansas Masonic Foundation, our DeMolay scholarship program, or The Kansas Masonic Home - to name but three - remember that these programs represent an in^iortant unfolding of our philanthropic endeavors across the state. We all can be proud of these programs! Recently, the Grand Master asked me to accon^iany him on his official visitation to Wathena Lodge No. 64 in Wathena, Kansas. Wathena is a community of some 1,400 people in Northeast Kansas, and Wathena Lodge is extremely active in the community, providing its entire first floor as an activity center for Senior Citizens in the community - a place to eat, talk, play games, read and enjoy fellowship. This program has inspired us at The HcHne to ask the question: how can we, with our available resources, help other Lodges to initiate similar programs in their communities? The Kansas Masonic Home Health Agency provides Occupational, Speech, Physical Therapy and other services to those hcHnebound individuals in the Wichita community. This is a "seed program" we hope to spread throughout the jvurisdiction. The Kansas Masonic Home itself is an amazing facility! On three Saturdays during November of 1982, we opened our doors for our First Annual Pilgrimage of Thanksgiving. Five hundred people from every comer of the state visited their Home. Seventy-five lodges were represented. More on that in a moment! As you read your KANSAS MASON, be sure to give attention to our new supplement, entitled, "The Landmark", which provides interesting news of The Kansas Masonic Hcxne. Our newsletter will keep you better informed on our programs and policies. The Kansas Masonic. Home evidences a sizable budget. The cost of Health Care has skyrocketed - you can certainly relate this to experience in seeking such care in your communities. Because of this, we feel one area deserving of our immediate attention is The Masonic Home "Grand Master's Endowment Fund". In projecting continued maintenance of our excellent Health Care Program, we know that an increase in The Home Endowment Fund can help insure oxir financial stcdDility. About 10 years ago. The Home Endowment was $5.4 million; The Home Budget was $892,000. Today, The Home Endowment is around 56 million; The Home Budget is $3.9 million. Ten years ago, the interest earned from the Endowment, along with member assessments, provided The Kansas Masonic Home's Operational Income. Today, interest earned from the Endowment, combine with member assessments, provides only about- one-quarter of The Home's Operational Income. It is obvious that interest earned from a substantial Endowment can potentially provide a major portion of The Home's Operational Income. If an interest thrown-off from such a fund runs at 10%, one can readily see where our Endowment realistically needs to be today! Well, I said I was here to say "Thanks", and I want to do that. Suffice it to say, you'll be hearing more from us. Read your mail, answer your phones, break bread with us as we visit yoiu: areas. This has been a good year as evidenced by your generosity. Two areas deserve our attention today. Donations for Room Furnishings and Room Costs in our New Health Care Center are most appreciated. For a $5,000 Room Furnishings donation. Bronze Door Plaques are awarded tot Greenleaf Lodge No. 232, Greenleaf, Kansas, and Ancient Form Lodge No. 34, Johnson County, Kansas. Bronze. Plaques for a $40,000 Room donation are given to: Ada Waddell Estate, Wichita and Quinter, Kansas, and the Will G. Price Family, Wichita, Kansas. The beautiful plaques will be affixed to our Health Care Center room doors.

REPORT OF JURISPRUDENCE COMMITTEE M:.W:. John H. Murray, PGM, Chairman, presented the following report. This report which covers numerous items was, of necessity, acted upon by sections; and then at the conclusion, was adopted as a whole. To the M:.W:. Grand Lodge of A.F. s A.M. of Kansas: Introduction This has been a busy year for our Grand Master M: .W:. Robert G. Jackson, but there have been no problems of any great consequence during the year, and none that have required the meeting of the Committee - except a meeting of the Committee at this session of our Grand Lodge to finalize this report. Report of The Council pf Administration The Council of Administration had at least seven meetings for which minutes have been furnished to this Committee for perusal. At these various meetings, council was asked to join with the Grand Master in answering many inquiries and solving many problems concerning Masonry in the various Lodges and Districts in the State of Kansas. The reports of the various council meetings have been submitted to us by the Secretary and we recommend that the actions of the Council of Administration as reported by the Secretary be approved as being within the authority of the Council. (Approved.) Special Dispensations From the report of our Grand Secretary, the Grand Master has issued many special dispensations during the year, all within his perogative; and on many has waived payment of . fees for dispensation, all of which appear to be regular. We recommend that all of such dispensations be approved. (Approved.) Rulings by Our Grand Master We recommend that the various rulings made by our Grand Master during his term, as submitted to this committee, be approved as being within his perogatives as Grand Master and being within his right to interpret our Consitution and By-Laws. (Approved.) Recommendations of Our Grand Master Constitution change: The Grand Master has recommended: Recommendation 1, that the Deputy Grand Master be elected for two years during which period he is to serve one year as Deputy Grand Master and one year as Grand Master. To carry out that recommendation, we recommend that Article 6, Secion 3, of the Constitution be eunended to read as follows: "(1) The Grand Master shall be chosen by ballot by a majority of all votes cast therefor at each Annual Communication, and serve one year as Deputy Grand Master and the following year shall be installed as Grand Master and shall hold office until his successor is installed. "(2) The Grand Senior Warden, Grand Junior Warden, Grand Treasurer and Grand Secretary shall be chosen by ballot by a majority of all votes cast therefor at each Annual Communication and shall hold their offices until their successors are installed. The subordinate officers shall be appointed by the Grand Master after his installation and hold their offices during his pleasure." (Approved by more than two-thirds vote.) By-Law changes:

Our Grand Master has recommended that District Deputy Grand Masters be appointed for a term of eighteen months, six months for training and twelve for service; the term to begin six months prior to the next Annual Communication. In compliance with that recommendation, a proposed'change in By-Laws is recommended to be a new By-Law as follows:

130

Proceedings of the

"2-130a. That the District Deputy Grand Masters shall be appointed to start serving as apprentice to present District Deputy Grand Masters and for training six months after each Annual Communication; and then serve as District Deputy Grand Master for the following year all in the District for which appointed." (Approved.) II To carry out Recommendation 5, we approve the wording of By-Law 4-401A as written in the Grand Master's address, which is as follows: "A member of a Lodge in this grand jurisdiction may become a member of lodge in another grand jurisdiction in fraternal correspondence with this Grand Lodge, and a member of a lodge in such other grand jurisdiction may become a member of a lodge in this grand jurisdiction. A brother holding such memberships shall be bound by all the laws, rules and regulations governing each lodge, including the payment of all dues and assessments, and shall have all of the privileges of each lodge, except he shall not hold office in both lodges at the same time. The suspension or expulsion of a brother by such lodge of his membership shall be recognized by this grand jurisdiction, and upon receipt of official notice of such action, the lodge of his membership in this grand jurisdiction shall make a record of such action which shall have the. same effect as though the suspension or expulsion had been taken by this grand jurisdiction. In the case of suspension for non-payment of dues, a delay period of 120 days shall be allowed for the certified notification of the member in question. The holder of a dual membership shall not have the right to request a demit." (Approved.)

We recommend that By-Law 4-401D be amended to read: "A member in good standing of any lodge in this grand jurisdiction may hold plural membership in other lodges in this grand jurisdiction paying per-capita tax dues in all, provided, that he cemnot hold offices in more than one Lodge at the same time and provided further, that if he is suspended for any other reason than non-payment of dues in one, he shall be suspended in all. In the case of suspension for non-payment of dues, a delay period of 120 days shall be allowed for the certified notification of the member in question." (Approved.) IV To carry out the Grand Master's Recommendation 7, we propose a new By-Law 3-306A, to read as follows: "Beginning in the year 1984, the Master of each lodge shall be required to demonstrate suitable "A" card proficiency." (Motion for approval was lost.)

To carry out the Grand Master's Recommendation 8, we propose that a new By-Law 4-206A be adopted to read as follows: "After the conferral of each degree, the Master shall appoint a coach or sponsor to assist the candidate in preparing to demonstrate his proficiency." (Approved.) To carry out Recommendation 11 of the Grand Master, we propose that Article XI, Section 2, of our Constitution, "Degrees for Business", be amended as follows: "The Grand Lodge shall be open on the Third Degree for the transaction of all business, except as may be expressly provided by law, or shall be contrary to Masonic usage; provided, when conducting public ceremonies, except funerals, it shall be opened on the First Degree. A lodge may be opened on the First Degree for the transaction of all business provided that seven or more Master Masons are present, except as may be e3q>ressly provided by law or shall be contrary to Masonic usage." (Due to lack of coii5)lete understanding, a motion to table for further study was approved.) Since the Grand Master's address was prepeired and printed, the Grand Master did receive a proposal for change in By-Law 4-122, "Withdrawal or Rejection of Petitions", to allow a petition to be withdrawn any time after it is submitted to the lodge, but before a ballot has been ordered. In order to carry out that recommendation, we propose that

131

Grand Lodge of Kansas

1982-83

By-Law 4-122 be amended to read as follows: "4-122. Withdrawal or Rejection of Petitions: Any type of petition may be withdrawn at any time before, but not after, a ballot has been ordered. Upon withdrawal or rejection of any petition, or in any case where there is a report of no jurisdiction, the Secretary shall return to the petitioner or applicant, any money which he may have deposited, but shall retain the petition." (Approved.) Conclusion We hope that we have been helpful to our Grand Master and to the Masons of Kansas in serving on this Committee. It has not been the goal of this Committee to set policy, but rather to assist our Grand Master in putting his desires into such form as we believe make acceptable additions to our Constitution and By-Laws as well as passing on our judgment on the rulings, edicts, and special dispensations and other actions of the Grand Master that have been submitted to this Committee. We hope that we have been helpful to both the Grand Master and to the rest in this Grand Jurisdiction. John H. Murray, PGM, Chairman Merle D. Bradley Addison C. Irby, PGM F. Warren Starns, PGM Roy T.

REPORT OF GRAND LODGE LIBRARY COMMITTEE M:.W:. Ben W. Graybill, PGM, Chairman, gave the following report which, on his motion. was accepted. To the M:-W:. Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: In 1980, this Committee was established by M:.W:. F. Warren Starns for the purpose of cataloguing cind developing interest, throughout the Craft, in the Grand Lodge Library; to utilize the material and set up a system of locating what we were searching for. In 1980, the first assignment was completed with the assistance of R:.W:, Keith Arrington, Librarian Emeritus, of the Grand Lodge of Iowa. Acting on instructions of the Grand Master, the Chairman of this Committee wrote R:.W:. Harvey C. Byrd, Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge, A.F. & A.M. of Texas, on June 15, 1983, requesting information relative to the incorporation of the Grand Lodge Library of that jurisdiction. Brother Byrd cconplied with this request and mailed us copies of the Corporate Papers and By-Laws. These were immediately forwarded to our Grand Master. In 1981, the Kansas Lodge of Research was organized to develop students who would become sufficiently knowledgeable to serve as Leaders in the Craft and provide guidance for the future. On March 19, 1982, a Charter was granted to the Kansas Lodge of Research with 750 Charter Members. The dues collected amounted to almost $5,000.00. Approximately $3,500.00 was retained by the KLOR and the balance was distributed to the various Divisions to help provide for local expenses. On May 8, 1982, M:.W:. Robert G. Jackson installed the newly elected and appointed officers of the KLOR. It is assumed that a report will be made of the activiites since that date during this Annual Communication. Chapter 2, Article 1, of the Grand Lodge By-Laws states that, "the Grand Secretary act as Custodian of the Grand Lodge Library and Museum". It is assumed that the Council of Administration has rightfully followed this provision of our Grand Lodge law and directed the Grand Secretary to assume the responsibility for the administration of the Library and Museum. The Library Committee has not been contacted for any service since May 8, 1982. The Committee has completed the work which was initially assigned them; therefore, it is recommended that the Committee be dissolved and the administration of the Library and Museum be continued under the direction of the Grand Secretary. Respectfully submitted, Ben W. Graybill, PGM, Gerald L. Anderson Walter M. Bird

Therefore, your Com^vi.ttee on Finance moves that this Grand Lodge amend By-Law 2-301 v^ich has to do with Per-Capita Tax and Special Assessments, to read "a tax of Six Dollars Per Capita on its roll of membership for the preceeding year to be raised $1.00 per year each year, not to exceed 5 years". After lengthy discussion, this motion, including Alternatives, was defeated. The Chairman then moved that the Grand Masters Recommendation No. 4, amending By-Law 2-314 be approved.

GRAND MASTERS ADDRESS M:.W:. Richard A. Porter gave the following address, briefly setting forth some of his plans and goals for the ensuing year: My Brethren and Ladies: I stand before you with a great amount of humility. You have, today, bestowed upon me the third most important highlight of my life - following only my mairriage to Elizabeth, 30 some years ago, and the birth and rearing of our two wonderful and considerate children. I cannot help but compare this occasion to a "You stand before us seeking admission into our ned of the solemnity and importance of the step proceed, withdraw while there is yet time."

portion of the First Degree when it says, order, but before going further, be waryou are about to take and if unwilling to Brethren, I am aware of this solemnity

I feel that I am on the threshold of the most challenging e3q>erience of my life. As all of you are well aware, the Fraternity has decreased by 36% in the last twenty-five years, while our population, our economy, our productivity and our scientific knowledge have grown by leaps and bounds. Therefore, the time is now \^en our Fraternity must face the most crucial period of our existence. We must must must make our order attractive to the young men of our state. Consider with me the fact that we are a mere 17 years away from the Twenty-first Century, the year 2000. Let us from this point regress back a mere 30 years to the year 1953. World War II was eight years behind us, the Korean War was ended, and the Nation stcirted to produce the greatest baby boom of all times. Do you realize that these babies

are now in their 20's and 30's and, by the year 2000, will be the leaders of our Nation and our State? Our Nation and our State are now enjoying the greatest numbers of young men in all times. Have you talked to one of these young men recently about the greatest, charitable, moral and fraternal order known to man? Have you taken a young man recently into your lodge and told him of the greatness of our order? During the coming year, your Council of Administration will introduce to you some new, modern and challenging ideas to atten^t to turn about our membership losses. To some, these new ideas will be hard to accept; to others, they will be great strides forward. But to all, we hope, they will be accepted as a moral obligation to attempt to revive the great, moral and Masonic teaching of our Fraternity. We must, my Brethren, enter these last remaining years of the 20th Century with a positive attitude and a willingness to work for- the betterment of Freemasonry, which will automatically make a better world for a better youth and a better Nation. So, may harmony prevail as we move forward into this new era. Therefore, let us have; A little more cross and a little less creed, A little more beauty of brotherly deed. A little more faith in things to be born. With hope in the ultimate triumph of morn. A little less doubt and a little more do, Of the single sweet service each day brings to view. A little more lifting the load of another A little more thought for the life of a brother. A little more cross and a little less hate. With love in the land and a rose at the gate.

PRESENTATION At the conclusion of the Grand Master's Address, Deputy Grand Master, R:.W:. Lawrence D. Winegardner, asked Grand Senior Deacon, W:. Clifford D. Knauss, to escort Elizabeth Porter, our Grand Master's wife, to the Grand East and placed a locket around her neck, identifying her as the First Lady of Masonry in Kansas.

Grand Lodge of A.F. and A.M. of Kansas to convene in the Consistory Building in Wichita, Kansas, for the One Hundred Twenty-eighth Annual Communication in 1984. Grand Master, M:.W:. Richard A. Porter, accepted the invitation, and announced that the Grand Lodge would convene there on March 16 and 17, 1984.

re-CRIAL TO M! .WJI FLDYD S. ECORD GRAND MASTER 1954 M: .W: . Floyd S. Ecord died May 14, 1982, at the age of 84 years. He was born in Anderson County, Kansas, and lived most of his adult life in Burlington, Kansas. His Masonic career was a distinguished one. He was raised a Master Mason in Delphian Lodge No. 44 in Garnett, Kansas, on August 8, 1921. In December of 1921 he became a member of Burlington Lodge No. 66, his membership continuing there until his death. He served his lodge as Master in 1927. He was a,member of the Chapter, the Council and the Commandery. He served those grand bodies. He was a 33Â° Scottish Rite Mason, a member of the Red Cross of Constantine, and a member of the Arab Shrine Tensile. His service to the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of Kansas was long and fruitful. He was a valued member of many Grand Lodge committees. His committee service will probably be best remembered for his twenty consecutive years as chairman of the Correspondence Committee. His report on the activities of our sister Grand Lodges was always interesting, entertaining and informative. For 20 years, he was on the Board of Directors of the Masonic Homes. In 1954, his Brethren recognized his worth and elected him their Grand Master. As such, he presided with dignity and guided the Craft in an outstanding manner - setting a pattern that every Grand Master could well aspire to emulate. However, it was outside the tyled halls that he best served Masonry. His friends and most of his acquaintances were aware of his Masonic membership and his love for the fraternity. It was in his life of service that he demonstrated the tenets of our Order. Let me mention a few of his accomplishments and honors. By profession, he was a newspaperman - not a journalist. In 1921, he started with the Daily Republican of Burlington, Kansas. There he was associated with John Redmond, also a great newspaperman. Later, Floyd "became" the newspaper. The Daily Republican was recognized as one of the best small town papers in the nation. He was a Trustee of the William Allen White School of Journalism of the University of Kansas. He was a charter member of his Rotary Club and served Rotary International as District Governor. He had been honored by the International St^reme Council of the Order of DeMolay. In every organization of which he was a member, he was a leader. He was a director of the People's National Bank and Trust Con^iany of Burlington. He served as president of his Chamber of Commerce. He served our nation in the Army in World War I. Thus, we mention but some of the accon5)lishments of this most unusual man. Is it any wonder that we, with pride, point to this man as a Mason? My personal debt to Floyd is immeasurable. Indelible in my memory is the day that Floyd phoned cuid asked if Kay and I could come up to Burlington. That evening, we met with Floyd and Lorraine in their home and he asked if I would serve as Grand Senior Deacon. This was a great honor for me, but coming from Floyd Ecord, it was doubly so. My memories of him! He loved his church. There too, he was busy and active. He possessed a great sense of hiimor. He loved athletics. He attended Baker University and Elnporia State. At En^ioria, he lettered in football. I remember his football helmet of that time which he treasxired. I remember bowling with him and being beaten badly! He was a man of moral strength. He had the courage to undertake the difficult and unpleasant

tasks.

Grand Lodge of Kansas

He was a leader.

147

In all that he did, he was a gentleman.

To Lorraine, his wife of many years, and his daughter, Evamay, we extend a hand of sympathy and in a small way, share your great sorrow. However, while this is a time of sorrow, we cannot but be warmed and have an inner smile because of the joys and gains that have been ours because we were privileged to know "so great and good a man" as our Grand Master, Floyd S. Ecord. Fraternally and sincerely. Richard L. Becker Past Grand Master

r^EMORIAL TO M;,W:. W I U I A M H. HARRISON

GRAND MASTER 1949 Born Downs, Kansas July 6, 1897

Died at Sun City, Arizona September 11, 1982

William H. Harrison was born in Downs, Kansas, on July 6, 1897. His parents were Dan B. and Artie T. Harrison. Brother Bill grew up in Downs, attending the local grade and high schools, graduating in 1915. He entered Kansas University that fall, and graduated in 1921. He spent the greater part of 1918 and 1919 in the U. S. Navy during World War I. He was an ardent sports fan and played basketball and baseball in high school and college. He also loved to hunt and fish. In his adult life he seldom missed a Downs High School football or basketball game. At Kansas University he was a member of Beta Theta Pi Social Fraternity. While attending Kansas University he met Miss Helen Palmer of Concordia, Kansas, and they were married June 12, 1924. To that union were born three children: William, Jr., Bogue and Jane. Bill and his wife live in Taos, New Mexico; Bogue and his wife live in Colorado Springs, Colorado; Jane and her husband, E. G. Cunningham, are at Rancho Santa Fe, California; there are nine grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild. Brother Harrison and his lovely wife, Helen, had 58 wonderful years together. After graduation from Kansas University in 1921, he joined his father and cousin James in the State Bank of Downs. Bill was associated with this Bank until his retirement 42 years later. In 1974, Bill and his wife, Helen, moved to Sun City, Arizona. We were pleased that M:-W:. Brother Harrison and his wife came to Salina in 1981 for Grand Lodge. In May of 1982, Bill participated in the 100th Anniversary of Downs Lodge No., 204,. A.F. & A.M. William H. Harrison was a connminity man and a civic leader. He was instrumental in securing the Kirwin Reservoir; was a Charter member of Glenn W, Bottorff Post of The American Legion; Charter member of Downs Rotary Club; worked with the State Fish and Game Commission in regard to pheasant eggs for farmers and fingerlings for ponds. Bill had an interesting background and an outstanding life in Masonry. His father was Master of Downs Lodge No. 204, and he also served as Treasurer for 34 years. Bill's mother, Artie T. Harrison, was Worthy Grand Matron of the Grand Chapter of the Order of Eastern Star in Kansas in 1929. Brother Bill was Raised to the Sublime Degree of Master Mason in Downs Lodge No. 204 on May 9, 1919. He served as Master in 1933, 1940 and 1942. He also served his Lodge in other offices and was District Deputy Grand Master in 1942. In 1945 M:.W:. Harry D. Evans of Pleasanton, Kansas, appointed him Grand Senior Deacon which led to his being Grand Master in 1949, where he served with distinction in a difficult year. In 1949, when Brother Harrison became our Grand Master, he appointed me as Grand Senior Deacon. This led to more than thirty years of friendship and service with him. Truly, he was a great man and Mason. We were so glad he spoke to us on "Masonry and It's Values" at our P.G.M. Luncheon in Salina in March, 1981. The Harrisons were active members in the Downs Congregational Church.

1983 ADDRESS OF THE GRAND MASTER To the M: .W:. Graixl Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: My Brethren, I stand before you this morning a very concerned, yet encouraged. Grand Master. I am still concerned that we cannot stop completely our declining membership, but am encouraged that our losses this year are not as great as in seme former years. At the beginning of ray term - with the sij^sport of the Council of Administration - I encouraged all Lodges in the State deem, as proficiency in the esoteric wsrk, the obligation only. Needless to say, there has been much opposition to this program. Hcwever, several far-sighted Lodges adopted the program, and have found the program immediately proved successful. Still, last year, we had over 150 Lodges that had rat raised a single man. While these LcxJges did nothing, others did very well. It is terribly difficult for me to understand why Lodges like ffcPherson raised 21, Kiowa raised 12 and Burlington raised 29; viiile other Lodges in the State - with over 1,000 netters - raised only 5 and 7 new Masons. I have felt for years that much of the structure of Masonry needed to be irodemized. At present, 15% of the Lodges of the State have over one-half of the total membership, do alntDst 70% of the degree work, and contribute over 50% of the annual budget of Graixl Lodge. About 50% of our Lcxlges have less than 100 members each, have about 17% of the total membership, but 50% of the vote. We should take a very close look at equalizing this unbalance. The insurance program throughout the Jurisdiction is deplorable. Many Lodges have TO insurance at all. In these times of large law suits, one liability suit in the smallest Lodge could easily wipe out all of the Grand Lodge assets. I am convinced that the Grand Lodge is liable for the actions of every Lodge in the state. Rulings 1. I ruled that a petition could not be received before the petitioner had reached his eighteenth birthday. 2. A Worshipful Master suspended a rrember of his lodge, and I ruled that the suspension was without justifiable cause, so ordered the nember restored. 3. I interpret ARTICLE XI, Section 3, WEBB WDRK, to rtean that every member of the Craft is entitled to purchase a copy of the Floor Rules if he so desires. Reconrendations 1. ARTICLE XI, Section 7. (Amending first sentence after the colon.) "Every such proposition shall be submitted on or before the 15th day of January and thereafter engrossed aixJ forwarded to all lodges; and if the proposition shall be sustained by tw>thirds of all members present and voting at the next Annual Ccmnunication ..." 2. By-law 4-305, lOCGE DUES - ASSESSMEOT. Each lodge is hereby required to charge a minimum of Twenty Dollars for annual dues. Further, each lodge will be required to maintain a liability insurance policy as written through the Grand lodge office unless otherwise exempt by the Council of Administration. 3. By-law 4-401-D, PLURAL MEWBERSHIP. capita tax dues in all" and replace with:

In the first sentence, delete "paying per "paying dues and per capita in each lodge".

Council of Administration I want to give special thanks to vrtiat I consider the best Council of Administration of all time - R:.W:. Lawrence D. Winegardner, R:.W:. Arris Johnson and R: .W:. Durwood C. Danielson. These Brothers have si^iported me in every endeavor vtiich I tried to acocmplish. We have atterpted to conduct the Grand Lodge as a Council of Administration, and the harmony among us has been outstanding.

j^jpointive Officers One of the hardest things that a Grand Master has bo do is to select those aHÂťintive officers, or men frctn the ranks, that he feels will support his program and lend a helping hand in the operation of the Grand Lodge. The appointive officers, this year, have bent over backwards to be in attendance viienever requested and have shown true Masonic spirit in every way possible. To them I say a great big "Thank You, Thank You!" Grand Representatives It was mf great pleasure this year to appoint the followir.g brethren as Grand Representatives fron the Grand Lodge of Kansas to other Jurisdictions: Iceland Minnesota Nevada New Jersey Cuba

Duane W. Stutz E. Dean Osbom Carl A. Steward Elviji S. Cox Billy E. Archibald

Past Grand Masters T D these men I CMe a special debt of gratitude. Most of them have been longtime friends of mine, and certainly have lent every support that a Grand Master could want. They are a great group of men, and I thank them for their help throughout the year. Grand Lodge Staff Not to call the Grand Lodge Office several times a week will seem strange. I will miss hearing Jean Rader .say "This is the Grand Lodge of Kansas". I have been most fortunate to have the support and loyalty of Al Arnold, Grand Secretary, who is a most devoted Mason. I have not asked Al for one single favor or chore to be performed this year that he has not bent over backwards to see that it was done. To Al, I owe a great amount of thanks. To Cave Recob, Assistant Grand Secretary, you have ceirtainly filled in v*ere needed and have done a marvelous job. The other people in the Grand Lodge office - Rachael Gilbert, Jack Warner, Arlene Mahrle and all other -enployees of the Grand Lodge Office - have all certainly been very helpful to me throughout the year. Albert Pike lodge No. 303 One of the greatest and most proud accortplishments of my life is being a Past Master of Albert Pike Lodge No. 303. This is a great Lodge, and these men have helped me and suf^xjrted me throughout the year like no other Lodge could possibly have done. They took ity program and made it successful. They took over my reception and made it one of the most outstanding receptions of all time. Whenever possible during this year, I have attended my own Lodge, and I was always received as the Grand Master and was given the utmost respect and honor. No Lodge could ever, ever be more supportive and helpful of a Grand Master than Albert Pike Lodge No. 303. I would certainly be raniss if I did not nention Maurice Knepp, Master of Albert Pike in 1983; Jerry Cole, Master in 1984; and Dean Osbom, the able Secretary of Albert Pike. These nen have gone the extra mile with me all year, and I want to go on record as telling them how much I have appreciated all the courtesies and help they have extended me. Other Grand Jurisdictions Although I did not attend a great many Grand Jurisdictions, I did attend in Missouri, Colorado and Qklahcma. In each of these places, my wife, Liz, and I were received with all the courtesies possible, and we want to thank those Jurisdictions for their kindness and consideration. Lecturers and Ccnmitteemen The Lecturers, although not agreeing with me ccnpletely throughout the year, have certainly not fought the new program. I am indebted to them for their help and support in trying to get Masonry again on its feet. "Do the other Ccrrtiitteerren, you have functioned far and beyond the call of duty and I am most afpreciative.

Appendant and Concordant Bodies To the Appendant and Concordant Bodies, I offer ray thanks. I attended the annual sessions of the Council, Chapter and Contitiandery, as well as that of the Eastern Star, and was received and appreciated in each of these Bodies. Without the Appendant Bodies, Masonry WDuld have a much harder struggle than it presently has. These Bodies are all necessary. I say, "a good job well done" to the York Rite, the Shrine and the Eastern Star. Continue to vrork in the quarries of Freemasonry. Consolidations I have permitted any Lodge that requested to consolidate, permission to do so during my year. We are living in times of big operations, business as well as farming, school structure and church structure in all lives. It is nearly irtpossible for a anall Lodge to survive in these days of high prices. I, therefore, reccitmend consolidation as I think it is part of the answer to our problem. Youth Groups The life blood of Freemasonry has to lie in the youth of our organization. The Youth Groups have been most kind to roe. I wish that I had had more tlime to spend with these groups as I thoroughly enjoy each and everyone of them - the DeMolay, Job's Daughters and Rainbow Girls. You have all been magnificent; your organizations are beginning to flourish and function as they should. Keep up the good work! My Staff at the Consistory Certainly you have been burdened with additional duties this year as I have travelled throughout the State and the United States. You have never once ccnplained, but have assumed the duties and extra responsibilities I have dumped on you. I can never, never repay you for all the extra wDrk you have done. To Margaret Hopkins who has worked with me closely for so many years, her support has been outstanding. To Marsha Anderson, Dick Hamilton and Billy Hayden, you have been most cooperative. I sincerely and deeply appreciate all of your support. A Special Group of People Among the special group of people who have worked so hard in making ity year sctnenSiat successful was the Midian Shrine with help in m/ installation and constant support in ray programs, your cooperation and willingness to go the extra mile were much appreciated. I can never repay the Brethren of the Scottish Rite for all you have done for me. Many KCCH' s and 33rds have travelled with me many miles and have driven the car v4ien I was tired and weary, allowing me a little time to catch a few extra winks of sleep. Thanks to John Myers who has filled in for me on many occassions. John would pinch hit for me wiien the work load got a little heavy. Otto Irby, Frank Carson and Dale Stinson, the Trustees of the Scottish Rite Bodies of Wichita, allowed me to take off the necessary time frcm ray normal duties to serve as Grand Master. There are many special people in and around the Teitple who helped in so many ways, especially withrayreception which took a lot of time and talent to produce. It is a prograra viiich I- shall renumber and cherish forever. You were absolutely great. I am sure everyone in attendance at my reception will long remember "Dick Who?" To all of these special people, I give my heartfelt thanks. Thanks to Bob Foley, our Grand Organist, wto was always more than willing to provide some extra music that I might want or need, and to the Scottish Rite Tarple Choir who furnished music on many occasions to make my programs a little more colorful; and to the many, many workers in the Scottish Rite v*io have always been willing to take over so that I might make an extra visitation to scene Lodge here or there. Tb all these people, I will always be indebted. Kansas Masonic Foundation Thanks to Curtis Gary and Vivian Wild for their cooperation during this past year in keeping me well informed and abreast of the activities of the Kansas MasonLc Foundation, â&#x20AC;˘niese people have done a great job, and the Kansas Masonic Foundation certainly deserves the suj^xjrt of each and every member of this Grand Jurisdiction.

The Masonic Hone The Masonic Hone has always been one of my very, very favorite places. It has always held a special place in my heart, and I shall always be a proponent and a hard worker for the Kansas Masonic Heme. To Jerry Lindenbaura and his staff, to John Myers and his staff, and to all those many residents of the Kansas Masonic Hone - you are the outstanding citizens of this state, and I will always be ready and willing to work just a little harder that the Hone might be a better place for the aged. To all of you, I say, "Thank You". Area Deputy Grand Masters and District Deputy Grand Masters Each Grand Master has expressed his appreciation for the work and support of his Area Deputy Grand Masters and District Deputy Grand Masters. I am certainly no exception, and feel that my selections were the best. To you, each and everyone, ray sincerest appreciation. r^ Family Finally, last - but itost important of all - I say thank you to my family. My loving wife, Liz, has sat up and kept me awake on many a late night so that we might get home and I could get back on the job the next day. She has lent her support to me in every endeavor this year. I know that it has not always been easy for her, but she has been irost gracious and is certainly a great support and a helping hand. Thanks to my children and grandchildrer; v*io certainly have been neglected this year because it has been such a busy year for me. Thanks to my Mother vino, in the middle of my term, moved into a care hate in Mt. Hope, Kansas. Mam, I'm sorry that I was not able to spend as much time with you as I should, but I premise to make it up to you in the future. Conclusion I owe a special debt to M: .W:. W. Nolan Artz for giving me this opportunity to serve. I hope that I have lived up to his expectations. Again, my thanks to the Council of Administration and Cliff Knauss and Al Arnold for your support. With these great Masons at the viieel. Masonry is in good hands and under control. I say to many others too numerous to mention, "Keep Working". Look forward to an ever changing society with an open mind. If change is necessary to survive, accept it with willingness. Encourage young men to join our ranks, because the future of our great Fraternity is in their hands. Freemasonry has, is, and will ever be the greatest order known to man. Be proud of your Fraternity, and let the world at large know of your devotion and loyalty to the society that believes in the Brotherhood of Man under the Fatherhood of God. Fraternally submitted.

The brethren then journeyed to the Hillside Cemetery where they were joined by their ladies and Mrs. D. Bruce Newton, .widow of our late Past Grand Master, and daughter-inlaw, Mrs. Lyle Newton. Vns temperature was 105Â°. The Past Grand Master Ehiblem Ceranony was performed in a proficient manner. M: .W: . DAVID BRUCE NEWKM On February 12, 1953, David Bruce Newton became the 84th Grand Master of the M: .W:. Grand Lodge, A.F. & A.M., of Kansas, and served through February 11, 1954. M: .W:. Newton was b o m at Clifty, Arkansas, on May 16, 1899, the seventh of thirteen children. His early boyhood was spent on the family farm in Madison County, Arkansas. He attended public school in Madison and later graduated from the high school at Huntsville, Arkansas. He attended Arkansas State Teachers College at Conway, Arkansas, and taught school for three years. In 1923 he was ertployed by the Jacob Dold Packing Ccitipany of Wichita. In 1932 he was associated with the National Biscuit Ccnpahy. The company transferred hiiti to Hutchinson in 1940. His Masonic membership began in Alabam Lodge No. 337 of Alabam, Arkansas, in 1921 (now defunct). He dimitted to Albert Pike Lodge No. 303, Wichita, on August 29, 1925. In 1943 he returned to Wichita to assume the office of assistant secretary in Albert Pike Lodge. Three years later he became secretary. He was soon to be found in other offices including that of Worshipful Master (1937) . His marriage to Leola Giffin on June 10, 1926, was blest with three children. Mrs. Newton and a son, Lyle, survive. His first appointment to Grand Lodge office was as assistant lecturer in 1949 and 1950. Then to the Ccirmittee on Masonic Education in 1951 and 1952, In the meantime, he was appointed to the office of Grand Senior Deacon in 1950 frcm which he advanced successively to the office of Grand Master in 1953. During his tenure in office, his primary desire was acccnplished. After a hard campaign, funds were raised to construct an infirmary as a part of our Masonic Home. He also held membership in the York and Scottish Rite Bodies of Wichita, receiving the 33Â° on October 23, 1953. He also held manbership in the Order of the Eastern Star, and was a member of Midian Shrine Temple. On March 1, 1954, he was elected an active member of the Grand Council of the Order of DeMolay. Then followed the executive officership of Kansas. So highly regarded was this esteemed brother's work in the Order, that after his untimely death, the D. Bruce Newton Award was established and continues as an award of excellence, presented yearly to the outstanding Chapter of DeMolay in Kansas. No more fitting tribute can be found for this distinguished brother than that given by the late Governor of Kansas, Brother Payne Ratner. Brother Ratner gave a quote in the biographical sketch frtm B. A. StaiiLey: "He has aciiieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much; vttD has enjoyed the trust of pure wonen, the respect of intelligent men, and the love of little children; who has filled his niche and acccnplished his task; vho has left the world better than he found it, whether by an iiiproved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul; who has never laced appreciation of earth's beauty or failed to express it; who has always looked for the best in others and given them the best he had; whose life is an inspiration; whose memory will be a benediction." we gather this date to honor his memory in the plac:ement and dedication of this Past Grand Master's Ehiblan Marker. After the ceremony the Grand Master addressed the audience. He reminisced on his many wonderful esqjeriences with D. Bruce Newton, and how their two lives had been so

The area was permeated with the delightful arcma of pork chops being cooked using the special recipe of Brother Dennis Atwell on an open fire. This crowd was estimated to be in excess of 200, and appeared to be more.

At the cemetery M:.W:. Addison C. Irby, PGM, was present with Melville Heideraan. The brethren then adjourned to the Fairview Cemetery for the cerenony. MEMDRIAL TO CHARLES S. McGINNESSCXur distinguished brother was b o m on July 2, 1893, on a Sedgwick County farm. Early in his life the family moved to Wichita following the death of his mother. In Wichita he ccitpleted his elementary and high school education, and later attended Fairmount College. This institution was later named Mimicipal University of Wichita, and we now know it as Wichita State University. M:.W:. Otto R. Souders, as the Proceedings biographer of M:.W:. Charles, tells of an instance vAien he met with one of the professors vrf>o had taught at the university while our brother was in attendance there. This professor remembered his unusual abilities and determination to persevere in whatever task he undertook. So it seans this would be the pattern of his life as we can all testify that he gave his best effort in whatever field and in vrfiatever task, in v*iatever duty he undertook. His was a distinguished career in the milling business, in insurance, and in service to the Kansas Legislature. He was always active and supportive of his church. The American way of life found one of its strongest supporters in Charles McGinness. His marriage to Frances Comick brought much happiness and three children and, to be sure his pride of pride, grandchildren. Following the death of Frances, a second marriage to Marie Brickel was equally successful and happy. It was m;/ good fortune and personal experience to work closely with Brother The year before he became Grand Secretary, I was elected lodge secretary of my lodge. Then after he resigned as Grand Secretary he still retained the office tary-Recorder in the York Rite Bodies. Due to the location of our offices, we almost daily contact until his final illness.

Brother Charles could be a real fighter when the occasion required. No, we never agreed 100 per cent of the time, but rest assured, if his opinion differed frcm your own, you had to wait but a very short time to find it out. Yet he ranained kind to a fault and considerate to all. Many fine things can be added to what already has been said about this brother. For one vdTO was so much a part of our lives for so many years, it would be impossible to recoxmt each and every quality and each and every act that he performed during his lifetime. But added to these are two vfcLch I believe unique unto themselves. Brother Charles could take a very ccmiion everyday event and scmehow in his own words embellish and recreate it to make it a mast interesting saga. In the everyday events that we as individuals might casually pass by, Charles would see as a story and then add his own particular brand of humor and make it into sctiething that was thoroughly enjoyable. And speaking of things enjoyable, his humor certainly was that. Not a slapstick, prank type of thing, but that good old down-to-earth sense of humor vrfiich produced many enjoyable chuckles. He brought all of these qualities to the Masonic Fraternity and even added to them. After receiving the degrees in Ionic Lodge No. 254 at St. Johns, he transferred to Cherryvale in 1930. After going through the chairs in the Symbolic Lodge, he did likewise in the York Rite Bodies, Scottish Rite and Eastern Star. He was a Past Grand High Priest of Royal Arch Masons, a Past Worthy Grand Patron of Eastern Star, and was coroneted a 33Â° in Scottish Rite. He was always a strong supporter of our youth orders, and assisted v*enever and vAierever possible. But above all we will remember him as Grand Master of the Grand Lodge, A.F. & A.M., of Kansas frcm February 11, 1943, to February 17, 1944. Loyal American, a devoted Kansan, a husband, a father, a grandfather, a friend, and now a Past Grand Master. We, this day, honor and cherish his memory in the placement of this Past Grand Master gravanarker emblan. After the cerarony, friends and relatives visited at length around the gravesite. The Grand Master again thanked all those Âť4io had attended, and received the appreciation of the widow, Mrs. Marie McGinness, and the sons of our late Grand Master also expressed their appreciation. No Further business appearing. Grand Lodge was closed in Anple Form on the Third Degree. Richard A. Porter, Grand Master AaTTEST: Albert 0. Arnold, Jr., Grand Secretary

Following the acceptance of the above report, M:.W:. Thanas C, Raum, Jr., spoke to the Grand Lodge, recalling that in 1968 he had appointed M: .W:. William E. Montgcmery, PCM, as Grand Treasurer. He expressed his pride in this ap^intment and asked the Brethren to join him in expressing appreciation and thanks to M: .W:. Nbntganery for the fine job he had done as Grand Treasurer. About three weeks prior to Grand Lodge, M: .W:. Richard A. Porter, Grand Master, accepted with regret the resignation of M: .W:. William E. Montgonery as Grand Treasurer. The Grand Master decided to defer appointing a Grand Treasurer as it was so near the end of his year. He then asked M: .W:. Raum to serve as Interim Grand Treasurer through this Annual Ccrntnunication. M: .W:. Thcitias C. Raum, Jr., accepted the task, but announced that he was not a candidate for the permanent office of Grand Treasurer. He stated that his duties to the Kansas Masonic Hcne arxJ the International Order of DeMolay precluded his accepting any further duties of a Masonic nature at this particular time. He thanked those who had expressed their good wishes to him. He advised that the Council of Administration would offer a name to the assatibly for their consideration as Grand Treasurer later in the morning. In closing, he thanked the Grand Master and the Grand Lodge for the trust and honor accorded to him. Fraternally submitted. Itanas C. Raum, Jr., PGM Interim Grand Treasurer

REPORT CF THE GRAND SECBETMCi R|^:. Albert O. Arnold, Jr., Grand Secretary, gave the following report v^ch, on his motion, was received and referred to the Reports of Grand Officers Ccmnittee. Tto the M:.W:. Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: Once again it is time to make report of the affairs of the office of Grand Secretary for the year of 1983. 11113 as prescribed in our Constitution, ARTICLE VI, Section 9, and By-laws 2-110 and 2-111. At the end of this report you will find a tabulation of disbursanents, also an estimation of incane and expenditures for the ensuing year. Annual Reports Annual Reports are due on or before the 10th of January of each year. Three hundredfifty secretaries do an excellent job of timely reporting as required (2-301). The others give us a considerable problem. Delay of Annual Reports means delay of our payment to the Kansas Masonic Heme; it neans delay in making tabulation for this report, and further delays our record keeping. So it is that valuable time and earned interest are lost. In this connection, we have heard many times of the increased costs due to the severe winter weather. Yet, in all too many cases, we find that Lodges are not properly handling their funds. Moneys collected in 1984 for dues includes per capita tax for 1984. This is to be paid on or before January 10, 1985. It is not proper to spend this money for other things, ani then expect to pay per capita out of funds received in 1985. In fact, the per capita portion of dues can earn interest if set aside upon receipt and invested. Carefully budget the expenditures of your Lodge. Don't wait for trouble before taking action. If your Lodge dues are less than $20, regardless of size, beware; you will soon be in difficult times. Taxation We call your attention to the continuing necessity of properly making reports, and sutmitting them on time. Last year, we had a different situation relating to the circulation forwarded by IRS to all Lodges in this Grand Jurisdiction. This year, we have another situation which involves state personal property tax. Many of the counties throughout the state have been enforcing personal property tax laws in an effort to offset their own needs. Your Grand Lodge is included. For many years we have paid personal property tax on the Grand Master's auto, but other items were thought to be exenpt. This is no longer true. We did make a study and, after considerable work, presented it to the county. We feel that many of the Lodges may have undergone the same evaluation and feel that several others will find it necessary to make report. Also, many Lodges have been asking about an employer's tax number. This is necessary if you are maintaining a savings account or CD. You may not have an ettployee, you may not have to withhold for taxation purposes; but if you do have savings, you will need to obtain a number. Grand Lodge Tlibrary and Museum The taxation program made it necessary for us to carefully differentiate between our equipment, our supplies, and museum artifacts. This put us into a rather interesting, although prolonged, study and change of our inventory. It is, in fact, on-going at this time owing to the many items vAiich are listed as artifacts. Heretofore, we had maintained one inventory; but for taxation purposes, it is necessary to make the division. As a part of this change, we have undertaJten another project to better facilitate the location and cataloging of various items given to us for safekeeping by our constituent Lodges. Prior to this change, we had been wrapping (in craft paper) and identifying items brought to Grand Lodge and placing them on file on the dcwnstairs shelves. This included papers of Grand Masters. This year it seemed only logical that we make a better recording of these items, and so have assumed the task of seeing them iiYdividually recorded and placed in the library file. Before so doing, they are wrapped in transparent film paper for protection and better viewing. Many of the itans we have discovered thus far are extremely interestiiq, arxl we believe this will be a very worthvdiile vehicle for the use of future researchers and historians. Like%d.se, we are going to do the same with Past Grand Master's papers. Iliis will protect and preserve than for future study.

Me have again been very fortunate in receiving donations as follows: Macltey Encyclopedia, 1920 Ed. - fran Brother Richard H. Gardner of Siloam Lodge No. 224. Wsoden carvings belonging to General Jonathan Wainwright - on loan from Union Lodge No. 7. A carved stone from Jerusalem, Israel - from Union Lodge No. 7. Encyclopedia of Freemasonry - from Brother Artliur W. Chidester, Wakarusa lodge No. 402 Albert G. Mackey & Charles T. McClenachan; Pevised Edition by Edward L. Havdcings, 30 , and William J. Hughan, 32 , Vol. I & II, 1924. Richardson's Monitor of Free-Masonry by Jabez Richardson (expose'), 1860-88; Morgan's Free-Masonry. "Exposed and Title: NATURE OF MASONRY", Captain William Morgan, 1882 frcm Thcraas C. Ryther. This past sumner, the Job's Daughters added to their collection in our library in a very substantial way. Three beautiful new display cabinets have been purchased by them and are to be set up for additional viewing items. These cabinets are extremely valuable, and certainly make a very worthy and beautiful addition to our museum. Again, I remind you to forward to us any items you have for display and safekeeping. In turn, we apprise you of our need for additional display cabinets. Our cabinets are quite crcwled and although we do have an almost unlimited amount of storage space, we feel there are other interesting items for viewing if display facilities were available. Area Meetings This past year, at the suggestion of the chairman of our Masonic Education Ccranittee, I did acccitpany the other Grand Officers to the Area Meetings in lieu of individual Secretary Meetings. W:. Claude Norris was indeed right about our attendance. As you will learn frcm his report, our Area Meetings were the best attended we have experienced in several years. But, if you need individual help, please do not hesitate to call for our assistance. Insurance "Fire, the good servant, is a poor master." Scmetime in the early hours of December 6, 1983, the temple of Alta Vista Lodge No. 357 burned to the ground. There was insurance, but not nearly enough to replace their loss. Let this remind each Lodge to carefully re-examine their insurance program each and every year. Liability and property insurance are a must. Don't be without sufficient coverage. Charity Your Charity Fund was quite active this year. Three rather expensive ceises involved sojourners whose hone jurisdiction fortunately refunded the several amounts. Inccme and Expenditures As required in our laws, you will find on the acccmpanying page an estimation of our furris for the ensuing fiscal year. At this point, I do remind you of the letter forwarded by the Ccmnittee on Finance. The several items treated in that letter are not included in this report. However, I do encourage you to give their report very long and careful study. We believe it wise to plan now and not wait imtil we are forced to use invested funds or other unwanted neasures. I also remind you that our report, as presented, does include the per capita tax and raising fee forwarded to our Kansas Masonic Hone. This amounts to 22.64 per cent of our total budget. While that is a large percentage of our total budget, many of us feel that it should be increased.

Appreciation ^^preciation is always in order, and the present mcnvsnt is no exception. The past year has been an unusual one in many ways. Yet it has fared well with the active and enthusiastic support of a very dedicated and hard-working staff. So it is that I again take this opportunity to individually name them, and praise them, and thank than for their efforts: Sister Rachael Gilbert, Mrs. Arlene Mahrle, W:. Charles Hoffiieister and son. Brother Rick, Brother Jack Vfemer, R: .W:. David L. Recob, Assistant Grand Secretary, and Mrs. Jean Rader, secretary to the Grand Secretary. To the Council of Administration and Grand Master,rayvery sincerest and deepest appreciation. Our Grand Master has indeed proven himself a very worthy and conscientious leader of the Craft. It has been a real and geniune pleasure to vrork with him this year and the years leading to his Grand Mastership. And to each Lodge, and each one of you, ray sincere thanks for again allowing me the opportunity of serving you. Respectfully and fraternally submitted. Albert O. Arnold, Jr. Grand Secretary Addenda: This is the first time during ray tenure of office that I have been without the services of Brother Henry O. Bennett. His services as Assistant Grand Secretary were outstanding in every way, and I feel that his personal assistance to me in those early days were nearly irxiispensible. I am sure all of you join me in wishing him a ccnplete and speedy recovery. As witness to his many fine qualities, he received the Distinguished Service Award in 1975. Also, I cannot refrain from adding a few words to those already spoken about our retiring Grand Treasurer, M:.W:. William E. Montgcmery, POi. The fact that we are not now paying much mDre in per capita tax is a tribute to his knowledge of econany and financial transactions. Ttie Conriittee on Finance has indeed performed their duties well, and we at the Grand Lodge endeavor to make wise and prudent use of every dollar allowed us for operational and all purposes. Yet, any success we have had with financial transactions and money matters has cone about as a result of actions initiated by him. We all wish him well in retirenent, and I wish to add my deep personal appreciation for all of his help and assistance through the years. A very profound thank you M: .W:. Sir.

REPORT OF IHE COUNCIL OF ADMINISTRAnON R:.W:. Albert O. Arnold, Jr., Secretary to the Council, presented the following report v*iich, on his motion, was accepted for printing in the Annual Proceedings. To the M: .W:. Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: The Council of Administration met on March 19, 1983, to transact the regular order of business following the installation of Grand Officers. M:.W:. Richard A. Porter was naninated as President and, after second, was unanimously seated in that office. R:.W:. Lawrence D. Winegardner was naninated and, after second, unanimously elected as Vice President. R:.W:. Durward C. Danielson was rxminated as Secretary and, after second, was unaniitously elected. The Grand Secretary was appointed to act as Secretary to the Council. A 75-year Elnblem was posthumously presented to the family of W:. Edwin A. Little of Bninence Lodge No. 205 at Eskridge, Kansas. It was determined that Brother Little was â&#x20AC;˘actually qualified to receive this emblem during his lifetime. A new Charter was presented to Vesper-Olive Lodge No. 136. This replaces the old Charter vrfiich had originally belonged to Vesper Lodge before the change in name. A posthumous restoration of Brother Lewis J. VanSchaick, a member of Hancock lodge No. 311, was unanimously approved. It was determined that Brother VanSchaick had passed away two days after being released frcm a Japanese prisoner of war canp and, thus, had died before the suspension date. In answer to a request for information ocmceming Lecturers' aprons, it was the unanimous opinion of the Council of Administration, and so niLed by our Grand Master, that these aprons could be worn only vdiile a brother was serving in the capacity of Grand Lecturer. Further, that upon conclusion of his service, the apron wauld be returned to the Grand Lodge for presentation to other appointees. A program to be presented in lodges upon ccrpletion of consolidation was discussed and presented to the Council of Administration. Further study is being conducted. The April 23, 1983, meeting was principally concerned with allowing Entered i^rentices and Fellow Crafts to attend Stated Meetings. Further discussion on the matter seemed to raise still further questions and, although it was generally agreed that the program might be considered if the members of the tM5 lower degrees could attend Stated Meetings on the level attained, the Council unanimously felt further guidelines wauld be necessary before allowing this to be reccnmended to the Craft. Additiorml information to be requested. Ten requests for charitable assistance over and beyond that allowed the Grand Master in By-law 2-303 were acted upon. All were granted assistance, although in seme cases funds were pared frcm the original requests. Also, it was noted that three sojourning brothers had requested assistance and, later, their Grand Jurisdictions had reimbursed our account. It was unanimously passed to increase the insurance on the travel allowance for our Grand Master and Council of Administration. A brother was suspended by the Wbrshipful Master of his lodge. On review, the Grand Master rulled that the Wbrshipful Master had acted beyond his authority and ordered the irember restored. On two occasions Coimittee Chairmen ccnplained to the Grand Master that recomrendations made at the Grand Lodge had not been followed as indicated. On review, it was determined that they mistakenly thought acceptance of their report meant ajproval of reocrmendations; sane would have required changes in the by-laws or other actions normally reserved for consideration under the Jurisprudence Caimittee report. The Kansas Masonic Foundation was asked to contribute to the maintenance allcwance of the Grand Lodge building. After discussion in several meetings, a sum was agreed upon and so noted. The sale of several bonds and investments, and replacement by purchase of Goverment Bonds, was approved by reocnmendation of the Grand Treasurer and the Finance Caimittee. A Life Membership was granted in accordance with the provisions of By-law 4-402 for other than a fifty year member.

1983-84

Grand Lodge of Kansas

Several other 50 and 60 yearraentierswere ruled to be eligible and presentation of emblatis and certificates was ordered. Because of the severe winter weather at the time of most Annual Cctnmunications, the Grand Master granted a number of requests to elect and install at an irregular time (3-303). Consideration of an annuity retirement for the Grand lodge employees was discussed. This would replace the present funding through the budget for retired employees after introduction of the new policy. Further study to be conducted. District Deputy Fall Reports were itemized and discussed. Note was made of several absent reports and request to be forwarded by the Grand Secretary for the Council's information. The Grand Secretary reported that an appendant body had been examined by the IRS. He also noted that on the District Deputy reports, assets and liabilities were not always coiplete and, further, that if an examination were conducted of Grand Lodge records in conjunction with an examination of constituent lodges, in sctne cases they would not agree. Therefore, the Grand Secretary was instructed to personally collect such information and to keep it locked in the vault at Grand lodge. This information is not to be revealed unless an examination should be required. It was also noted that state personal property taxes had undergone a considerable change in the last twelve months. Many lodges, including the, Grand Lodge, were involved and charged vAiere they had never befen assessed before. Lodges failing to respond to the required vote on amendments to the Constitution were listed and required to give explanation (3-617) . Several overdraws were noted in the budget, as required in our law, and given approval. This, only after it was determined that the entire budget was still well within the confines of the budget approved at the previous Annual Cc^munication. PAST GRAND MASTER'S JEWEI,. It is the opinion of the Council, due to the high cost of precious metals, that each Past Grand Master request at his death that his Grand Lodge jewel be returned to the Grand lodge office to be reused for future Grand Masters. Consolidation of lodges, rulings by our Grand Master, and other ccmmittee actions taken, will be found elsevAiere in the Advance Report. At the conclusion of this report, R: .W:. Albert O. Arnold, Jr. announced that there vrould be further discussion of the insurance program later in the sessions. He also stated that it was the unanimous decision of the Council to recotmend the present Grand Master, M:.W:. Richard A. Porter, for the position of Grand Treasurer. Respectfully and fraternally submitted. Albert O. Arnold, Jr. Secretary to the Council

REPORT OF NBCPOLOGy a M O T I E E M: .W:. Carroll C. A m e t t , PGM, Chairman, submitted the following report vrtiich, on his notion, was accepted. lb the M:.W:. Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: Miracle of Ages, Master of All O Mind that ever must be; Hark to the sound of they Father's callâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; To the Throne and the Crcwn that waiteth for thee. Most Warshipful Grand Master aixl brethren. It is with reverent and thankful hearts we rejoice that through God's infinite mercy and goodness, our line of Grand Officers has corpleted a year of service together with no broken links in the chain since our last annual ccrnnunication. Hcwever, it is with sorrcwful hearts that we note the passing of over 1,800 of our Kansas brethren. Our late brothers were workers in the Temple. â&#x20AC;˘Hiey accdiplished much, strengthened our fraternity, and were zealous in their efforts to prcmote the principles of our Craft. God grants liberty to those vto love it, and are always ready to guard and defend it. A master's wages are paid in coin of the heart, not of the mint. They are earned by v*at a Mason does with his mind, not his hands. Freemasonry is the custodian of the symbolic use of the builders' tools, arts, ceremonies and tradition. We look upon birth with rejoicing, we view life with satisfaction; but in the presence of death, we stand reverently silent. We yield before that Divine Will which has ranoved these many brethren from our midst, but our Craft is bowed beneath the heavy burden of our loss. Our deepest and sincerest syrtpathy goes out to those loved ones and friends who have been most heart stricken in the hour of parting. Plato once said, "Penouncing the honours at which the war Id aims, I desire only to know the truth, and to live as veil as I can, and, vtien I die, to die as well as I can. And, to the utmost of my power, I exhort all other men to do the same. And, in return for your exhortation of me, I exhart you also to take part in the great combat, vAiich is the cdtibat of life, and greater than every other earthly conflict." New as we bow in reverence in this hour of memry of all these departed brethren, I will ask W:.Conrad F. Johnson, Grand Chaplain, to close this report with prayer. Fraternally sutmitted, Carroll C. Amett, P&i, Chairman REPORT OF GF1A^D DDDGE PUBLICATIONS CCMMITTEE M: .W:. William F. Mcintosh, POl, Chairman, sutmitted the following report which, on his motion, was accepted: To the M:.W:. Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: As Chairman of the Grand lodge Publications Committee, this is my sixth report to the Grand Lodge. There has been one change in operations to report. Beginning in 1983, THE KANSAS MaSCW has been made up and gotten "camera ready" at the Clay Center Dispatch and mailed to Coffey county Today in Burlington for printing and raailirq. This arrangement seems to be working satisfactorily. Once again, four issues of THE KANSAS MASCW were published in April, July, October aid February. The ;^ril 1984 issue will begin Volume #21 of THE KANSAS MASCN. It is pleasing for me to note that we have stayed well within the budget allowed by the 1983 session of the Grand Lodge. A recap of sane of the stories that af5)eared in Volume #20: *

Richard A. Porter installed as the 127th Grand Master.

Clifford D. Knauss appointed Grand Senior Deacon.

We appreciate the confidence of the Grand Master, Richard A. Porter, and thank him for the opportunity to serve the craft. Fraternally sutmitted. William F. Mcintosh, Chairman Oscar D. Smith, Member REPORT OF ajRRESPOSIDENCE CCMMITEEE M: .W:. Robert H. Arnold, Pa4, Chairman, gave the following report which, on his motion, was accepted: lb the M:;W:. Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: It has been interesting and rewarding, though tedious, to serve on the Correspondence Oarmittee this year. There were fifty-four Grand Lodge Proceedings reviewed, ranging frcm 14 pages for the Grand Lodge of Tasmania to 750 pages for the Grand Lodge of Kentucky. It is interesting to note the similarities of our problems and those of other Grand Jurisdictions. All seem to experience loss of membership (nearly 62,000 on these reports alone), increased costs of operation, and a scmev*iat lackadaisical attitude by the brethren about these problems and others. In reading through these many proceedings, we find seme Jurisdictions are catching up with Kansas by admitting eighteen year old men. We find other Jurisdictions that are ahead of Kansas - at least in their approach to making Masonry known to the non-raaiiber in bringing Masonry into the limelight, particularly in the smaller ccnmunities. Several Grand Lodges encourage sponsorship of Blood Donor programs by the Lodges, participation in civic events, signs along highways, booths at Fairs, and even talking to non-Masons up to the point of not quite asking them to sign a petition. Perhaps Kansas Masons should follow seme of these actions. "Advertising" is not a WDrd totally accepted by saiE Masons, but we must get Masonry before the public. There are just too many good men to whcm the vrord "Mason" means a conpany that sells shoes. Contrary to previous plans, there is a report of the Conmittee for you to take to your lodges. Hopefully, seme Lodges will pick up and initiate an idea that will iitprove Masonry in several areas. If your copy remains in this Teirple, no one will read it*. For the past two years it has been my hope to have the report of this ccranittee printed in atall excerpts in THE KANSAS MASON. We felt mare Masons would be exposed to it. Problems arose, and hence this report. While nearly every Proceedings contained something of interest and even amusement, they were evaluated for what was thought to be of interest and inportance to Kansas Masonry. Many resolutions vrere of a housekeeping nature and not reported. Names, dates and locations did not seem of importance and were eliminated. A list has been made of the Grand Jurisdictions showing the number of raisings, deaths and suspensions for nonpayment of dues. Also listed is the Jurisdiction numbership loss or gain (only two Jvurisdictions had increases, and these totalled only nineteen). The items in this report were of interest to me as a ccnmittee of one. Hopefully, seme will be of interest to you. I have tried to keep each report short. Reports on sore Jurisdictions have been eliminated as I found nothing v^ich seened interesting or of benefit to Kansas Masons. M: .W:. Grand Master, thank you once again for permitting me to serve in this capacity. Fraternally, Robert H. Arnold, PGM, Chairman

REPORT OF RITOALISTIC OOWGITEE M:.W:. J. Fred Williamson, PCM, Chairman, presented the following report which, on his motion, was accepted: To the M: .W:. Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of-Kansas: The Ritualistic ^^jnnittee met in Wichita the second weekend in August. The program for the 1984 District Meetings was approved, and the Grand lecturers were assigned to various districts. A review of the Lecturer's proficiency in the ritual was conducted with the help of the officers of Albert Pike Lodge. This ccmnittee was saddened by the death of R: .W:. Clifford Ramsey, a long time Grand Lecturer frcm Colby. Cliff will be missed by all V*ID knew him. This cotmittee under the direction of the Deputy Grand Master undertook the task of developing a District Lecturer system for this Grand Lodge. This cctnnittee feels that this program should be expanded to all districts as soon as qualified brothers can be trained. This will probably take two or three years. The ccnmittee needs help in locating proficient brothers vrfTO can serve in this capacity. Please advise the chairman if you know of any brother who Mjuld be interested in this program.

REPORT OF THE KANSAS MASONIC FOUNDATION, INC. Brother Curtis W. Gary, Executive Director, presented the following report which, on his motion, was accepted. To the M: .W:. Grand Lodge of A.F. i A.M. of Kansas: Thanks to the hard work and support of many Brother Masons, this past year has been one of success ard growth for the Kansas Masonic Foundation. "C Club" Fund Raising Canfaign Contributions during the second year's existence (Oct. 1, 1982-Sept. 30, 1983) of the "C Club" set a record total of $128,459.80. That exceeded first year's receipts of $110,867.80 by nearly $18,000.00. It is even more remarkable vftien closer study reveals that a special gift of over $12,000.00 made the initial year, cannot be compared to any gift made this year. 1981-82 Hansen FourÂťaation Gift Jud W.

The $108,459.80 they contributed the second year exceeded the previous year's receipts by nearly $30,000.00, an increase of 38 percent. Receipts for this year's "C Club" appeal are still being received at a steady rate. "C Club" members have contributed at this date about 50 percent of last year's ancunt, and more Brother Masons have joined them for the first time in support of the Founda-^ tion.

Her duties include support to the emotional needs of the cancer patient and his family as they learn to live with cancer or, as often haRsens, to help the patient and his family leam to cope with terminal cancer. The Clinic currently treats about 500 cancer out-patients each month of which about 150 are teenagers. The Clinic also was able to expand to include additional treatment and examination rocms down the hall frcm its current location at the Bell Memorial Hospital at the KU Medical Center.

KANSAS MASCWIC HIC3i SCHOOL ALL-STATE BAND Bro. Donald J Hbrttor, President of the Kansas Masonic Foundation, gave the following address to Grand Lodge. While handing out accolades, we should not overlook the vork of Bro. Curtis Cary and the outstanding job he is doing as Director of the Kansas Masonic Foundation. I also want to thank you for the opportunity of serving as President of the Kansas Masonic Foundation. I am very pleased to be able to work with the Scholarship Loan Program and the Kansas Masonic Oncology Clinic at Kansas University, and with the Foundation itself. I hope you will take every oE5xDrtunity to support us morally and financially. I am appearing this raoming to present a project that I can vAioleheartedly support, and I urge you to v*ioleheartedly support. This is a project that will help make each local lodge that participates stronger; it will unify the brothers even more than they already are; it will make the local lodge have a stronger image in its coimunity; it will help outstanding students in that ccmnunity to have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; it will help the Kansas ttesonic Foundation to meet its financial obligations to the Oncology Clinic at the University of Kansas; and last, but not least, it will help our Shrine brothers in the Kansas East-Vfest Shrine Bowl football game. What is this project I'm talking about? It is brand new, and it's called the Kansas Masonic High School All-State (or All-Star) Band. This Band will be ocitposed of outstanding students fron each of the ccnmunities in Kansas who are sponsored by the local Masonic lodge. Itiese students will meet at Kansas State University about August 1st vAiere they will receive a veek's intensive band training by one of the outstanding band faculties in the nation - the Kansas State University Band Faculty. After a week of association with other outstanding band musicians, this band will then participate in the activities of the Shrine Bowl - that game being held this year in ^tenhattan - and it will culminate in the half-time ceremonies which will be televised live. I can't think of a finer opportunity for outstanding musicians to be with their peers. What's the cost? $200 per student. If your lodge can afford it, probably the easiest way to finance this would be to take it from the lodge treasury. If not, there are a number of other ways. Perhaps the brethren of the lodge would just sun»rt it with an

102

Proceedings of the

extra contribution; or perhaps the friends or relatives of the student might wish to help with the cost by a donation; or there can be fund raising events. How the $200 is raised is ixjt important. But that it is raised, and that each lodge sponsor or go with another ledge to sponsor a student, is extranely important. Not only because of the tremendous advantage to the students in your respective caiiiiunities, but because of the nationwide exposure that this event will give Kansas Masonry and the suj^iort of these outstanding students. Because of the shortage of time, I have had the time to give you only a very somber description of this. We will have handouts available at the doors vrfien you take a break for lunch. Please read these carefully. If you have any questions, Curtis, the Executive Secretary, or I will be around to answer them. If you have questicms after tcxJay, don't hesitate to call the Foundation office, the Shrine Bcwl offics or my office. Again, the iitportant thing is to please read it, take it back to your lodges, and get this projecrt started. The Masters and Secretaries of your lodges have already received letters outlining this program so thpy, too", should be able to answer your questions. •niank you again for tlie opportunity to serve and, in advance, for your su^^ort of this prcjgram.

REPORT OF FOREIQI REIATiaJS CCWMHTEE M: .W:. Forrest D. Haggard, POd, Chairman, gave the follcwing report viiich, on his motion, was atk^Jted: To the M:.W:. Grand Lodge of A.F. S A.M. of Kansas: This year's report brings both good and disturbing news. Itie political, economic and social conditions of the world have their effect upon the Craft and its organization. Scne time ago, in a report to the Blue Friars Association, your chairman forewarned of the potential of a new "anti-masonic" movement due to the return of fundamentalian among organized religion. In November, 1983, the Religious News Service reported a warning frcm the Vatican that the "faithful v4io belong to Masonic associations are living in a state of grave sin and cannot be allowed to receive holy ccnmunion". Itie report had the ajproval of Pope John Paul II. We remind you that the Reman Catholic Church has never changed its original pronouncements against Freemasonry. Various evangelical and fundamental Protestant organized groups and cults have renewed their opposition to any and all organizations that they feel threaten their particular claim to being the one and only "true faith". Freemasonry, as the largest and oldest so called "secret society" receives the main thrust of their opposition. We have the usual correspondence frcm non-regular so called "masonic" groups such as the Hatian Federation of Masons. Our brethren in South America and related third vrorld nations have their share of problems in structure and organization. Political upheaval in those nations lead to upheaval among all structures within their country. It is difficult, at best, frcm the outside, to determine v*iat is really happening. Sufficient to say here, that any correspondence with any "masonic" group by a member of this Grand Lodge must, of necessity, be carried out through our Grand Lodge Office and tlie Grand Secretary. It might save a great deal of aitarrassnent. The Conference of Grand Masters of Masons in North America have a Coimission on Information for Recognition. This is a fine group, and we are privileged in this Grand Lodge to have M: .W:. Richard A. Porter as a member of this iitportant body. M: .W:. Porter's term is through the 1988 Conference. We rely on this group to give us important and pertinent data on the condition of Freemasonry vrorId-wide. We have had a great deal of ccmunication concerning the Grand Lcx3ge of Cuba, Havana, and the Grand Lodge of Cuba in Miami, Florida. We have informed the Grand Master this Grand Lodge is in conjunction with the majority of Grand Ixsdges in the Vtorld, in Fraternal Relations with the Grand Lodge of Cuba, Havana, and that a representative to that Grand Lodge near the Grand Lodge of Kansas could, legally, be appointed, if he so desired, we recognize and understand the political differences that exist between our two nations and are in synpatl^ with those in Miami *4)o feel that they need to withdraw frcm their mother Grand Lodge airi form their cwn identity. But the Grand Lodge of Cuba is regular and still functioning, as far as ve can determine, as regular Freemasonry. We wish, for your information, to report frcm Ccnmunications to and with our Ccitmittee that: More and mDre we find Grand Lodges involved in the political affairs of their nation. We feel that pressvure, perhaps self-applied, is mounting for Masonic Lodges to take a "political stance" viiere they feel their national pride is at stake. We, as Americans and in the history of the Anterican Revolution, should have seme understanding of that feeling, although we find such an attitude to be divisive among us. Freemasons of othei .-^tions vHno may not happen to be of the same religion, race or political persuasion as American brethren, sanetimes find difficulty, in our nation, in visiting Lodges. We need to understand that Freemasonry is not the same everyv*iere as it is in Kansas. Courtesy, as *ell as care, should be exercised in entertainnent of any "foreign" brother. However, also, remember that in most places in the world one does not just "walk in" to visit a Lodge. Freanasons in exile from Iran are attenpting to gather together and reconstitute the Grand Lodge of Iran in exile. Freenasonry in the Middle East, at best, faces difficult problans; so we ccrmensurate with these brothers in exile. The Grand Lodge of Sweden has issued a memorandum setting forth the duties and responsibilities of their Grand Representatives and reaffirming their iitportance in the oormiunication between Grand Lodges. In part, their memorandum reads: "this honorary ccftmission iteans that certain duty is put on the grand representative, i.e., to exercise sane tospitality to a visiting Brother from the Grand Lodge in question. If this duty

104

Proceedings of ihe

cannot be met, the representative should not accept the catmission." We take this opportunity to remind our Grand Lodge that a fine brochure "On Being a Grand Representative" is published by the Masonic Service Association. Also, we are proud to have received frctn Hiram Lodge #819, Ludwigsburg, Germany, a document attesting to their honoring of our own David L. Recob as an Honorary Member of their Lodge. We have one item requiring official vote of this Grand Lodge. Whereas on November 6, 1982, the Grand Lodge of Spain was instituted; v*iereas this new Grand Lodge has been regularly recognized by other Grand Lodges in the world and, vtereas the Conriission on Information for Recognition of the Conference of The Grand Masters of Masons in North America has given the opinion that the Grand Lodge of Spain is entitled to recognition by the regular Grand Lodges; ve, therefore, recommend to this Grand Lodge A.F. i A.M. of Kansas, that we recognize the Grand Lodge of Spain and begin regular Fraternal relations with said Grand Lodge, and appoint and receive Grand Representatives with than. On his motion, this reconirEndation was moved, seconded and unanimously accepted. We express our appreciation to our Grand Master and to this Grand Lodge for their confidence in our appointment this year, airi we wish to thank the office of the Grand Secretary for excellence in working with our ocnmittee this year.

Special Project Sane time ago, this ccninittee started a special project to encourage the lodges of Kansas to distribute copies of the book "Why Public Schools" by Illustrious Henry C. Clausen, 33Â°, to their local public and school libraries. If your lodge has not given copies of this excellent book to your local libraries, we hope that you will do so during the coning year. This book is still available through the Grand Secretary's offeree at ?5 each postpaid. Reccmnendation A little over a year ago, the Council of Administration and the Board of Directors of the Kansas Masonic Foundation began discussions v*iich, hopefully, will lead to the establishment of an endowment fund within the Foundation to help finance the scholarship awards of the Grand lodge. Although there have been some legal stumbling-blocks, efforts toward such a fund have continued. It is our reccmendation that the Council of Administration and the Board of Direc-tors of the Foundation continue their efforts to establish such an endownent fund. We believe that there is certainly a need for a permanent fund to finance scholarship awards in this grand jurisdiction. Conclusion We take this OHortunity to thank ovu: Grand Master, M: .W:. Richard A. Porter, for allowing us to serve the Grand Lodge and the Craft, and for his continuing support. To Brothers Albert O. Arnold, Jr., Grand Secretary, and David L. Recob, Assistant Grand Secretary, and their staff, our thanks for their assistance throughout the year. Our thanks also go to M: .W:. William F. Mcintosh for his support through the pages of TOE KANSAS MASCÂťI. We also gratefully acknowledge the assistance of our essay contest judges. Finally, Brethren, there is a new excitement in tlie Fraternity; a new enthusiasm. Many lodges are working hard to reverse the cycle of declining membership that we have experienced in recent years. Young men are once again beginning to be attracted to our doors. Brethren, the public schools programs can help! By putting these programs into practice, you not only fulfill Masonry's long-term ccnmitment to support the public school system, you also stow your ccttmunity a side of Masonry that they may not have seen before. That we are an organization dedicated to the service of mankind and that good men may becone better men because of their association with it. Fraternally sutndtted. John A. Schowalter, Chairman Damon M. Grimes Jinny D, King Willis G. Keesecker Max L. Alber

REPORT OF CHURCH-mDGE RELATIONS CO^MHTEE W:. William J. Brown, maiter, made the following report vfclch, on his motion, was accepted: lb the M:.W:. Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: The Church-lodge Catmittee again stresses the importance of each lodge member assuming an active role in the church of his choice. We think that the best way to get and, or, to k e ^ good relationships betveen the various Churches and Masonry is for Masons to becctne better Church Members. We want to stress the inportance of each lodge observing St. John's Day in June, even if it is a matter of more members attending Church that day. We thank the Grand Master and the Council of Administration for accepting our reccmmendation about the funeral booklet. Now we are reoonmending that each lodge in this Grand Jurisdiction purchase these booklets for use in their Masonic Funerals and that they be presented to the family of the deceased at the conclusion of the service, the lodges will be notified of the availability and cost of the booklets just as soon as they are ready for distribution. In order to cut down on the number of orders, and to have tlian available v*ien needed, an estimated year's supply should be ordered each time that they are ordered.

Grand Lodge of Kansas

REPORT OF THE KANSAS MASOJIC HOME ADMINISTRATOR Brother Jerry D. Lindenbaum, Administrator of the Kansas Masonic Hone, gave the following report vtiich, on his motion, was accepted. Tto the M:.W:. Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: The Fiscal Year, 1983, proved to be the most econcmically stable of any of the past 5 years. The economic recovery, much IcMex inflation, and rising aiployment helped improve the picture nationally. At our Kansas Masonic Hcne, the year 1983 was spent in planning and developing for our future. The Grand Master's Endowment Fund, memorials and general gifts increased sane over the previous year. This was due to the active involvHnent of our Developnsnt Office and the increased awareness amang our craft. Long Range Planning, under the skillful guidance of M:.W:. Forrest D. Haggard, developed a Long Range Master Plan to guide our efforts in capital and program renewal thoughout the rest of the 20th century. The Board's ccnmitment to a Residential building renewal, coupled with approval of the long Range Master Plan, was the greatest acocmplishment of the year. With the initial planning ccmpleted, we are poised to take on the mcmentous task of coordinating the many master plan projects, starting in 1984. This will be a most exciting period in Kansas Masonic Heme history. Over the past 2 years with the changes ccming about in the health care arena, the fast changing economic scene, the notion of new and alternative care services proliferating the local. State and National Government scene as well as consumer forums, has led the Hone administration to look at many new and varied approaches. While our main concern is the population that resides in our Heme now and the services we now render, we have to be cognizant of the forces of changes around us. It has been apparent for seme time that the reimbursanent systems will not provide adequate resources to cover all our costs. The Home Administration has begun efforts on many fronts: 1. Consulting services tx) other nursing hemes. 2. Agreements to participate in alternative programs with SRS, Blue Cross and other agencies. 3. Active fund raising and developnent. 4. Cooperative seminar presentations with Wichita State University. 5. Negotiations with other interested parties for rental and clinic space in the Old Infirmary area. 6. Internal budget control. 7. Revised and strengthened our admission policies". 8. Marketing our Hone Health Agency. 9. Studying alternative care programs such as day care, day treatment, etc. It is the contention of the Heme Administration that we must look to alternative programs to produce other sources of revenue to cotpliment our fund raising. We are Marking to put the Heme in a position of standing on its cwn no matter what the future sources of revenue bring. To this end, the work of putting the Master Plan items together is beginning. We look forward to 1984. The challenges of the 80's, the possible dream is beginning. With the active sij^port of Masons and the Order of the Eastern Star in our great State of Kansas, the dream will become a reality. Now is the time to begin. Repairs And Replacgnents Our regiilar program of repairs and maintenance has been followed this year. During the sunner, the West and East Towers were sealed and painted at a cost of $20,000. Restoration Waterproofing Contractors cctipleted the job.

*Denotes conparison to previous fiscal year reports. Medical Director In July, 1983, Dr. Ruperto D. Mendiones assumed duties as our Medical Director. Dr. Mendiones has been physician to many of our residents for several years and ccmes to us with an excellent knowledge in the Geriatric medicine field. Our Staff and Residents look forward to a good relationship with our new Medical Director. Developnent Office Report 1983 has been a year of ccmnunicating to the Masonic Craft and Order of the Eastern Star the extensive programs of our Kansas Masonic Home, certainly one of the major charitable causes in our jurisdiction. As we share in the rich tradition of the Hone's 87 year history, we earnestly plan for the renewed vigor of this durable institution. We stand at the threshold of a new era in care of the elderly. As our society continues to age - and stay healthier in the process - it becomes incumbent upon our Home to deliver the principles of loving care, within an environment reflecting the state of the art of geriatrics and gerontology (the service to, and study of, the process of aging). The Kansas Masonic Hone, one of the ten original Masonic Hones in the United States, is unarguably one of the pioneers in the field of elderly care. The adherence to the principles fostered by our Masonic Institutions have enriched this care with the Masonic virtue of Love. Without Love, we fail to rise above the ordinary; With love, we becone the extraordinary reflection of radiant Masonic Light. Long Range Master Planning In just 16 years we will enter a new century. Tbday's Kansas Masonic Home physical plant, much of which has remained unchanged, is shewing its age. The Kansas Masonic Hone Board and, specifically, its long Range Planning Cotrnittee realizes that major renewal of our facility is a primary objective. The major phases of this needed development are: (1) Updating of the existing Residential area for our present resident population, including resident apartments, activities, clinical and health care support; (2) Consideration of adding a "private purchase" Condominium Cctnnunity vdiereby individuals or couples could purchase their own condo unit, paying a specified monthly payment, and receiving a package of benefits including a certain number of Health Care "free days"; (3) Expansion of the Health Care Center to acccttrcodate the projected increases in our resident population; (4) Consideration of development of a new "Medical Center" containing ancillary services to the Health Care Center and stressing the study of clinical practice and study of geriatric medicine. The above areas embrace the major thrust of our present and future developnent of the Kansas Masonic Hone. The dynamic potential for our Heme can - and should - continue to be a place to be pointed to with pride by our Masonic manbership! We continue to share our story through our efforts as exeitplified in the following areas: Ccmnunication With Craft Through attendance at Area Meetings, as veil as Grand Lodge and Grand Chapter, we continue to update our naanbership concerning our programs. 1983 saw us visiting over 140 lodges, chapters and other related meetings, in order to share the Kansas Masonic Home Story entitled "Itie Possible Dream". Through our 4 page "Heme Newsletter" section

j^yreciation Unfortunately, space does not provdde for a more conprehensive Developnent overview of Fiscal 1983. Through your collective efforts, much has been accomplished; yet, much vrork remains. Special appreciation goes to lodges, chapters and all appendant organizations participating in our "Possible Dream". Grateful acknowledgement is given R:.W:. Albert O. Arnold, Jr., Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge of Kansas, and Mrs. Myrle M. Drake, Grand Secretary of the Grand Chapter O.E.S. of Kansas, for their friendly cooperation. Without the su^xDrt and guidance offered by M:.W:. Richard A. Porter, Grand Master, the Kansas Masonic Home Board, Hone Administrator, Jerry B. Lindenbaum, and our superb Ifcme Staff, the fruits of our efforts would certainly be diminished in scope. The Kansas Masonic Heme's "Possible Dream" becomes reality viien all of us, working together for all that is Masonically good, shines our Craft's light brightly into a world in need of our beacon! Respectfully submitted. John M. I^ers Director of Development In Conclusion I want to thank the Kansas Masonic Home Board of Directors for their help and guidance over the past year, our Residents and Staff for making our Heme a great place to live and work, and the Craft and Eastern Star of Kansas - for without their help and support, none of our actions could be undertaken. As we step forward into 1984, the deliverance of the principle of Freemasonry will again guide the way in continuing the challenge of the 80's. Respectfully submitted. Jerry B. Lindenbaum Administrator

REPORT OF MASONIC EDUCATION COMMITTEE W:. Marvin T. Covalt, member, gave the report of the Masonic Education Conmittee which, on his motion, was accepted. Tto the M:.W:. Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: The activities of the Masonic Education Gottmittee have been directed primarily toward the ADGM and DDGM during the term of M: .W:. Richard A. Porter. It was a basic feeling that diligence and zeal on the part of these aj^xjintees could and should adequately ccmmunicate to the Craft those goals set by the Deputy Grand Master for his year in the East. A meeting of ted Grand Lodge specific duties program for the

the incxming ADGMs and DDCavis was held at the Masonic Hctne with all elecOfficers and the Grand Chaplain taking part in the presentations. The of appointees were expounded, and the Deputy Grand Master explained his year he would be Grand Master; charity being of prime importance.

Six meetings throughDut the State were held drawing exceptional crowds in every instance. Constrvictive critician was given by R: .W:. Mike Stams concerning the distance the Brothers in the extrette western part of the State were caused to travel to these meetings and this problem will be corrected in the next schedule. The Grand Master's abbreviated proficiency program was thoroughly esqjlained at each of the meetings and each Master Mason attending was encouraged to increase his cfcm personal charities as well as those of his Lodge. The charities of the Masonic Heme and Foundation were given as exaiiples as these are the collective responsibilities of Masons only in the Grand Jurisdiction, and are the visible charities seen by the populace as a v*ole. The orientation meetings for inconing PSXMs and DDCJIs of 1984 were scheduled again at

the Masonic Hone and eight locations were selected by Deputy Grand Master larry Winegardner. This number of sites should preclude anyone having to travel a great distance. The program again was given by the elected Grand Lodge officers along with several appointees. Our year of serving M: .W:. Richard Porter and the Grand Jurisdiction has been one of pleasure and very rewarding. The meetings enable all Kansas Masons to meet and talk with the Grand Lodge officers on a personal basis, and air any problems or ccnplaints face-to-face. While all cannot attend Grand Lodge, any Mason vÂŤ4io wishes to meet and converse with the Grand Master is enabled to do so through these meetings. We extend our appreciation to the Grand Master for selecting us to serve the Grand Jurisdiction; also to those in the Grand Lodge Line and the enployees at Grand Lodge for their very able assistance. Respectfully submitted, Claude W. Norris, Chairman Ben B. Boyles, POI Tarry L. Eckhoff Marvin T. Covalt

Porter with his sincere thanks for their valuable service. REPORT OF TOTAL YOUTH OCSyMHTEE W:. Benford E. Smith, Chairman, gave the following report which, on his motion, was accepted: To the M:.W:. Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: Being aware of your interest in our Young People, we bring this proposal to you. We have displayed our youth with special ceranonies at Masonic functions and gatherings throughout the state. We have sent out special invitations to all Masonic Organizations to attend the Youth Functions whenever possible. As we have witnessed these young people perform, we can see that Masons are very proud to have a part with them. We believe that Masons know that these young people are the future of Masonry and its affiliated organizations. We believe those future leaders must be involved and active, and be given a chance to share their talents and enthusiasm toward Masonry. The monetary contributions these young people have received from the Grand Lodge is very much appreciated, and it is the hope of the Total Youth Cocmdttee that this will continue with consideration of an increase whenever it is possible.

LABOR TO REFRESHMEin" Itie Grand Lodge was called fran Labor to Refreshment until 9:00 A.M., Saturday, March 17, 1984.

ALL MASONIC BANQUET The All Masonic Banquet was held in the beautiful Scottish Rite Consistory DLnLng Hall at 6:30 P.M., Friday, March 17th. Prior to the banquet, a hugh reception was held in the entrance hall of the Scottish Rite Temple where the Grand Master and manbers of Albert Pike Lodge No. 303 welccned guests and delegates with a non-alcholic chanpagne beverage to wet the appetite and stimulate fellowship and conversation v*ile awaiting dinner. Approximately 750 persons in attendance at the All Masonic Banquet dined on steak, bailed potato, broccoli spears, salad and pie. There were no special awards presented by the Grand Master to honor Distinguished or other selected Masons. Illustrious Brother Jack Jones, Imperial Recorder of the Imperial Shrine of North AriErica, was the speaker for the evening. Bro. Jones pointed out the important places Masons played in the shaping of our early history. For instaixre, every member of the Boston Tea Party was a Mason. Governors of 13 states at George Washington's inaugural were Masons. On the other hand, it was pointed out that four Major Geneyals of Washington's Continental Army veie not Masons, and they about ruined our early start with some of their actions in not wanting this to be a free country. Bro. Jones said that during the past 24 years there has been a drop of nearly one million members. He congratulated the Grand Lodge of Kansas and M:.W:. Richard A. Porter for recognizing the membership loss in the state. "Here in Kansas", Jones said, "the Masonic family is WDrking as a solid unit." Weatherwise, this night was one of the wetest days in Wichita with thunderstorms producing over tWD inches of rain in a one-hour period, flooding the Wichita streets. This storm carried over to the following day, and produced one of the most devastating ice storms in Kansas and other States in recent years, causing millions of dollars in lost trees, power lines and other property - as well as making travel hazardous early Sunday morning, the day after Grand Lodge was closed. We were indeed fortunate not to loose any of our Guests or Delegates as victims of the storm v*iile returning hone.

REFRESHMENT TO LABOR The Grand Lodge was called frcm Refreshment to I^bor on the Third Degree at 9:00 A.M. on Saturday, March 17, 1984, and the Business Session of the One Hundred IWenty-eighth Annual Ccmnunication was resumed. ESSAY TOPIC W:. John Schcijalter, Chairman of the Public Schools Ccirmittee reported that the conmittee had net to discuss the topic for next year's Essay Contest. Because of its timeliness, the topic will be "Prayer in Public Schools". REPORT OF GRAND LODGE ACTIVITIES a^MTITEE M: .W:. Chester L.

As usual, we had sane for the first time v*o were inpressed with the facilities and sorry they had not attended before. Since the attendance was lower, the Chairman had a meeting with the ccnrnittee manbers present and the Grand Junior Warden. It was the consensus of opinion that they wanted the Retreat to continue. As Chairman of this Ccnrnittee for the last six years, I have appreciated your cooperation; but believe that change is good in all aspects of Masonry, and new leadership is necessary for continued growth and progress. For this reason, I desire the inccming Grand ^toster to appoint a new Chairman. I will continue to give ny si.53port to this project. R: .W:. Durward C. Danielson will assume the chairmanship of this ccrtnitbee. Fraternally sutniitted, Chester L. Gilbert, P04, Chairman Orves U. Beeghly C. M. Geis Harold F. Sievers Clifford L. Trax

REPORT OF TRIALS AND PUNISHMENTS aMtUTTEE M: .W:. John H. Murray, PGM, Chairman, gave the following report v M c h , on his motion, was accepted: To the M:.W:. Grand lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Kansas: This committee has received two new cases for disposition and also assisted in coipletion of one case not ccnpleted, although tried. The holdover case, tried by the previous Ccimdttee, involved a manber charged and convicted of felony involving theft of money. The member entered a plea of not guilty and trial was had. The verdict of the Ccnrnittee was not received until after the Grand Lodge Session, and the verdict of guilty was returned by the Chairman of this Camiittee because it did include three holdover members fron the past Ccnrnittee. A brother was charged with one count of a schaiie to defraud, twenty-three counts of mail fraud, one count of bank fraud, plus various other fraud charges. The brother was notified, did not appear and did not plead, so trial was had and a transcript was circulated to members of the Cottnittee. The verdict reached was guilty with the penalty of expulsion. A brother was convicted of t\ÂŤD counts of felony theft, v^iich conviction was upheld by the Kansas Supreme Court, after vdiich charge was filed in his Lodge with violating his Masonic duty and with conduct unbeccming a Mason. Trial was had in his Lodge which was contested vigorously. A transcript was prepared and circulated to the members of this Cotmittee which voted twD votes for suspension and one vote for expulsion, so the Ccnmittee's verdict was suspension. On occasion, members of the Ccnrnittee are required to pass judgment upon friends of theirs, but we have been able to look only to the facts as presented and disregard personal feelings. In this connection, we do suggest that for those lodges that find it necessary to file charges against members, they appoint someone in their lodge to act as a prosecutor and assist in presenting the case against the brother charged and to simply follcw our by-laws on Trials and Punishment. We do hope that it will not be necessary for the next Ccnrnittee to hear any cases but, if there are violations for vftich a member should be called to task, they should be presented. Respectfully submitted. John H. Murray, PGM, Chairman S. Allan Daugherty, P04 Norbert A. Angell, Jr. John Rule J. Wayne Pipkin

REPORT OF FINANCE OMIITIEE M: .W:. Ralph D. Walker, PGM, Qwlrman, presented the Finance Ccnmittee Report for acceptance as it is written, then referral to the Jurisprudence (jortinittee for further action (the proposed per capita tax increase would require a By-law change). TO the M:.W:. Grand Lodge A.F. i A.M. of Kansas: We, the Finance Ccmiittee of the M: .W:. Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of Kansas, submit for your approval the following proposal: The present By-law 2-301 reads as follows: "Grand Lodge Per Capita Tax and Special Assessnent. Every Lodge working under a Warrant of Constitution shall pay annually to the Grand Lodge a tax of six dollars per capita on its roll of tnaiibership for the preceding year. Said per capita ..." Ihe proposal of this committee would change the By-law to read as follows: "Grand Lodge Per Capita Tax and Special Assessment. Every Lodge working under a Warrant of Constitution shall pay annually to the Grand Lodge a tax of eight dollars per capita on its roll of membership for the preceding year. Said per capita ..." The purpose of this per capita tax is to prevent a drain on our investments. Your Finance Ccmnittee has presented a balanced budget with the knowledge that the cctning year will present financial problans to the Council of Administration. They are as follows: 1.

The Masonic Hone has been operating at a loss because of the lack of donations in wills and bequests. We suggest an increase of 50t per capita (total $2.00).

Repciir of the Grand Lodge building's roof is inminent.

Likewise, the windows on the east side of the Grand Lodge building are in need of replacement.

Our faithful orployees of the Grand Lodge are in need of a pay raise.

Our oanputer expense to an outside firm can be reduced with the capital purchase of a ccnputer or the possiblity of purchasing a terminal connected to the Masonic Hone ocrtputer.

We are aware that postage rates will go \ip soon; budget levels for postage and THE KANSAS MASON are inadequate.

Real Property Tax and Personal Property Tax increases must be covered.

Depreciation, as we normally refer to in business, deducts the value of capital improvements gradually, but vre as a non-profit organization, need to reserve moneys for repairs and future capital expenditures. If we had done so in the past, this per capita tax might not be necessary.

The money requested would be used accordingly: Incgig

As mentioned before, tliese expenses could be pulled fran our reserves, but as we do so, we reduce our income proportionately. Eventually the reserves would be eliminated. We, your Finance Caimittee, do not think dipping into the reserves is prudent and, therefore, reccrmend the per CcÂĽ>ita increase. We thank the Grand Master for our appointment and the opportunity of serving Kansas Masonry. M:.W:. Walker pointed out that the Grand Lodge enjoyed an unusual year incctne-wise due to the maturity of certain bond issues. It is a position which will not continue in the future. On a notion, this report was accepted and referred to the Jurisprudence Caimittee for further action. Fraternally submitted, Ralph D. Walker, PGM, Chairman W. Nolan Artz, PGM fferle D. Bradley Orrel D. Mack Victor J. Olson

APPRECIATION AND RECOCa^ITIOJ M: .W:. Ralph D. Walker made seme special remarks to the Grand Lodge. "About a year ago they had to ccme looking for me - I was usually trying to cool off, not mentally but physically. Subsequently I have had a kidney transplant as many of you are aware. I feel like a million bucks. Thanks to you people. You should have seen the cards, flowers and telephone calls that I received fran so many of you. It was impossible to thank each of you in a note, so I am taking this time to thank all of you." M: .W:. William E. Montgonery, PCM, was asked to stand vfaLle M: .W:. Walker ccrrmented. "Brothers, thanks to this gentleman's advice, at the right time we puchased stock over the years and we have seme long term bonds which cane due this year from \Aich we made a lot of noney. Sir, we thank you for your advice through the years and your help to this ccttmittee. We might have had our disagreements at times, but v*ien it came to getting the job done, we worked together and got it done. Thank you."

REPORT OF JURISPRUDENCE COMMITTEE M:-W:. Arthur C. Hodgson, PCTl, Chairman, presented the following report. Certain items in this report were acted upon individvially; and then at the conclusion, the report was adopted as a v*iole. To the M:.W:. Grand Lodge of A.F. S A.M. of Kansas: Introduction Our ocmnittee has enjoyed our year of service to our Grand Master and to Grand Lodge. Our only neeting as a ccttmittee has been since we have arrived at this Session of Grand Lodge, and this means that the work of the caimittee has been carried on very largely by correspondence, but senetimes with long distance telephone comraunications as well. Special Dispensations A review has been made of the Special Dispensations granted by our Grand Master. We are of the belief that the Special Dispensations were within the prerogatives and pcwers of the Grand Master and we recommend that they be approved. Rulings of Our Grand Master Our Grand Master in his Address indicates that he made three rulings. The caimittee is unanimous in believing that Rulings No. 1 and No. 2 were appropriate, and a majority of the catmittee feels that Ruling No. 3 is appropriate.

130

Proceedings of the

March

Since these Rulings primarily apply to the administration of our present Grand Master and since Rulings have already been effectuated, the oaimittee feels that the Rulings should be approved at this Annual Ccmiunication and by the Grand Lodge, (^^roved.) Reccmnendations of Our Grand Master CXor Grand Master has made three (3) Recommendations. The Jurisprudence Ccmiittee is not in unanimous agreement on the Reconmandations, and we have concluded that the fairest way is to present them so that the members of Grand Lodge may vote on each proposition separately, and vie suhmit than separately for individual action on each recomendation. Hecamendation No. 1. ARTICLE XI, Section 7. (Amending first sentence after the colon.) "Every such proposition shall be submitted on or before the ^ t h day of January and thereafter engrossed and forwarded to all lodges; and if the proposition shall be sustained by two-thirds of all members present and voting at the next Annual Conmunication " We move this recaimendation for approval. y Discussion of Recontneix3ation No. 1 took place. M: .W:. Richard D. Kelsey, PC34, pro- \ /'posed an- amendrtent to the wording to read, "Every such proposition shall be submitted \ / to the Grand Secretary's office by January 1st and thereafter engrossed and forwarded \ I to all lodges by January 15th". On a motion, the amendrtent was accepted; and there\ j after Recamendation No. 1 was moved, seconded and accepted. This being a constitution- I \ al change, it must be submitted to the lodges and ^proved by them, then be proclaimed ^ I at the next Annual Nteeting. ^ / Reccnmendation No. 2. By-law 4-305, LODGE DUES - ASSESSMENT. Each lodge is hereby required to charge a minimum of IVenty Dollars for annual dues. Further, each lodge will be required to maintain a liability insurance policy as written through the Grand Lodge office unless otherwise exeupt by the Council of Administration. Not each member of the contnittee is in agreement with this Reccnmendation, but we feel that it should reach the floor of Grand Lodge in an affirmative status and we, therefore, m3ve the adoption of this recommendation. Seconded. Discussion followed. R:.W:. Raymond Haden, Clifton Lodge No. 122, suggested that the two issues of Reccmiendation No. 2 be divided and voted on individually. His motion was seconded and passed. $20 Minimum Dues. W:. David Safarik, Lodge No. 430, stated that not all lodges would need to raise their dues to $20 even if the per capita tax was raised. He, therefore, felt the $20 dues should be a reccmiendation, not a requirement. To a question fron W:. Max Kiene, Solcmon No. 105, the Grand Master replied there had been a lodge that did not pay its per capita tax. W:. Orville P. Jackson, Lodge No. 127, felt that this matter should be discussed in the local lodges before a decision was made. M: .W:. Arthur C. Hodgson moved the adoption of the $20 Minimum Dues. but did not carry by the necessary two-tbiirds majority.

It was seconded,

Liability Insurance. Bro. Gene West (Sunflower Lodge No. 86) gave a presentation for a liability insurance plan v*iich vrould cost about 41<J per capita, and answered questions regarding specific details. The Grand Master pointed out that this protection was first for the lodge and, second, for all Masons in Kansas. A motion to adopt the Liability Insurance program was seconded, but failed to receive the required two-thirds majority. The vote was 304 - 226. Recormendation No. 3. By-law 4-401-D, PLURAL MEMBERSHIP. In the first sentence, delete "payir^ per capita tax dues in all" and replace with: "paying dues and per capita in each lodge". The committee feels that this will clarify the By-law in question and we reccraiend its adoption. (Passed by the required two-thirds majority.) Not included in original report: The following amendment to By-law 3-619 was proposed by M: .W:. O/ien E. Hodgson, PGM: By-law 3-619. SERVING OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES. "The serving of beer or any other beverage having a recognized or indicated alcoholic content at any ocmnunication or social function held or sponsored by any Lodge, by the Lodge or any Comtiittee or individual brother, if served in any roan vAiere Ritualistic Work is conferred, shall be deaned an offense against

the Body of Masonry, except where the serving of wine is now a vital part of the Ritual of the Lodge or the ;^)pendant and Concordant Bodies of Masonry as of March 15, 1984, or if the present use of rooms by ?^^)endant or Concordant Bodies of Masonry is approved by the Council of Administration of the Grand Lodge of Kansas as necessary for the preservation and development of such Appendant and Concordant Bodies of Masonry." A nration by M:-W:. Owen E. Hodgson was seconded. M:.W:. Richard L. Becker, PGM, with regret because of his long time friendship with M: .W:. Cfcjen, nevertheless expressed his deep opposition to this reccmendation. M: .W:. Hodgson further replied that the amenditent was intended only to benefit the lodges, and was for the purpose of clarification of the law. The motion for the aitendment to By-law 3-619 was defeated. M: .W:. Arthur C. Hodgson, with the consent of the Jurisprudence Ccrtnittee, noved the report of the Finance Cciitnittee to raise the per capita tax to S8.00 be approved. Discussion followed. R: .W:. Roger Siegel, Old Mission Lodge No. 153, ADCM No. II, made the following motion: that we amend the proposal to read as follows: " this amount to be effective with the membership as of December 31, 1985, and payable in January of 1986". This motion was accepted. W:. W. I. Goldanith, Haysville Lodge No. 126, attempted to make a motion to amend By-law 2-308, but was ruled out of order due to the fact that a motion was already on the floor. W:. Melbum C. (Buddy) Barnes, PM, Constellation Lodge No. 95, spoke in favor of both the anendment and the original proposal. W:. Norbert Angel, Delaware No. 96, and W:. Ed Horton, Master, Hays Lodge No. 195, voiced their critician of the dues raise. M: .W:. Ralph Walker responded. M:.W:. Ben W. Grajtiill, Old Mission No. 153, asked {with the Grand Master's consent) for the opinion of M: .W:. W. E.' Montgomery concerning this proposal. M:.W:. Montgomery voiced ofposition to the $2.00 per capita increase. W:. Marvin Wilson, Overland Park No. 436, also spoke in opposition to the measure. R: .W:. Albert O. Arnold, Jr., Grand Secretary, read the proposed amendment to Bylaw 2-201, changing the per capita tax from $6.00 to $8.00. A motion to accept this amendnent was defeated. Conclusion We are nearing the end of another Grand Lodge Comnunication. We have enjoyed serving as Members of the Jurisprudence Ccninittee, and we have found our Grand Master to be an intelligent and hard working Grand Master. He has shown a genuine concern for the Craft and we know that he has had continuously in mind the vrelfare of the Craft. We salute our Grand Master and his Lady, Liz, for their untiring effort in our Grand Master's year of service. Respectfully sulmitted. Arthur C. Hodgson, PGM, Chairman F. Warren Stams, PCM Addison C.

GRAND MASTERS ADDRESS M:.W:. Lawrence D. Winegardner briefly set forth some of his goals and plans for the ensuing year as follows: Brethren, I am very much aware of the great honor which has been given me. This honor is never given lightly, and, rest assured, it will never be treated lightly. Thank you I As I head into this coming year, I am experiencing a great many conflicting emotions humility and pride, enthusiam and uncertainty, a nagging fear that my ability may not be equal to the task you have given me, a concern for all the traveling which faces me - in fact, I think I've felt just about every way it's possible to feel in the past six months I Although I bring to this office few of the great gifts of my predecessors, I do come with a steadfast belief in the principals of Freemasonry, a belief which ensures that I will apply myself with all the dedication and enthusiasm at my command. Brethren, I pledge myself to your service and the service of the craft. The officers that you brethren have elected and the officers that I have had the privilege of appointing are not here to serve me - they are here to serve Masonry. Their goal this year, as mine, will be to restore the image of Freemasonry to its rightful place in the community. What does the future hold? What are the plans for the coming year? In the next few weeks we will be looking at problems confronting our fraternity - problems that must be solved before we can hope to bring Masonry back to its former glory. These problems, as I see them, are declining membership, prograrming, financing, ritualistic proficiency and - above all - our image as perceived by the community. All these things can be overcome, and they will be overcome. Grand Masters come and Grand Masters go, but the fraternity goes on forever. How quickly and how well the problems are solved depends on just one factor - YOU. YOU - your involvement and your commitment to Freemasonry. We have many loyal and dedicated Masons on the Grand Lodge level who would be more than willing to come to your Lodge and help you with your problems, to lend you their expertise and their experience. But you have to let us know yÂ°" "sed us. Grand Lodge help - they want to help - but they can't do it for you. It is you who will determine in the long run whether your Lodge falls by the wayside or becomes a pillar of the Mas- onic fraternity. Let us help youl You know the story of tightly in his hand and "As you so will it, so hands a bird called the dead or is it alive?

the young man who comes to the old man with the bird clutched asks, "Is this bird dead or alive?" And the old man answers, will it be." Today, you, the Freemasons of Kansas, hold in your Masonic Fraternity. And you ask me, my brethren, is this bird

Remember - as you so will it, so will it be. INVITATION W:. Douglas H. Gomel, Master of Salina Lodge No. 60, invited the Grand Lodge of A.F. & A.M. of Kansas to convene the one hundred twenty ninth annual communication in the Masonic Temple, Salina, Kansas, in 1985. The Grand Master, M:.W:. Lawrence D. Winegardner, accepted the invitation, and announced that Grand Lodge would convene there on March 15 and 16, 1985. However, in early April 1984, technical difficulties in obtaining use of the Bicentennial Center facilities for several functions, necessitated the Grand Master to move the 1985 annual communication to the Scottish Rite Temple, 332 E. First Street, in Wichita, where functions can be accomodated with no problems. The decision to move to Wichita in no way reflects upon Salina Lodge No. 60 or the willing workers who have made our past attendance in Salina a very enjoyable experience.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF M:.W:. RICHARD A. PORTER

BY M:.W:. THOMAS C. RAUM, JR. M:.W:. W. NOLAN ARTZ. We are proud and delighted to prepare this biographical sketch of our beloved and highly respected Most Worshipful Grand Master, Richard A. Porter. He has been our close friend and is devoted to Masonry in the finest fashion and is distinguished in his profession as Secretary of the Scottish Rite Bodies in Wichita. We will not have space here to detail many of his excellent traits of character, making this brother our first citizen. He deserves more than any words can suggest. He stands for the finest in Masonry throughout the state. Richard Allen Porter, was born December 6, 1922, in the Mt. Hope, Kansas, area, where he spent his childhood years. His family moved to Wichita where he attended High School and Wichita State University. His years at the University were interrupted by three years spent in the United States Air Force as a member of a ground crew. After his discharge from the service, he returned to Wichita State University and received his degree. Richard A. Porter, has been active in all phases of Masonry for many years. He served as Master of Albert Pike Lodge No. 303 in 1967 and became a Grand Lodge Officer that same year. He was invested with the Rank and Decoration of Knight Cormander of the Court of Honor in 1965 and was coroneted a 33Â° Degree Mason in 1967. He .belongs to the York Rite, Scottish Rite, Midian Shrine Temple, and Eastern Star. He is Secretary of the Kansas Scottish Rite Foundation, and Secretary of the Masonic Service Bureau of Wichita. He has served as Secretary of the Scottish Rite Bodies of Wichita for the past 18 years. He was appointed in the Grand Lodge line in 1979 as Grand Senior Deacon by M:.W:. W. Nolan Artz. He is a member of College Hill United Methodist Church where he has served in many capacities. He is past secretary and board member of the Wichita Rotary Club, and is a member of Wesley Association Medical Center. He was recently appointed to the Board of Directors for the Institute of Logopedics in Wichita, and has served on other civic and coimunity boards. His family consists of his wife Elizabeth, a daughter Mrs. Maureen Bailey, and her husband Tony, and two grandsons, and a son, Richard A. Porter, Jr., and his wife Randi, and one grandson. No word or phrase can describe the value of this honorable citizen to our cotimunity, no statement can truly express his worth to Masonry in Kansas and throughout the land. His brethren know his intrinsic worth, but no line of ours can describe his value to Masonry and to men. His great concern for the growth and continuation of Masonry, shown by his instituting the program to require a Candidate to learn only the obligation of the First and Second Degree, proved very satisfactory for the Lodges offering the program, and it will be a blessing to thousands in days to come.
