sidelines.
One other thing Brethren; I think your Brethren in the Masonic
Leadership, across the United States have concluded that one secret of the
success of Freemasonry in the years that lie ahead, is interesting meetings'
I think that we all agree that the day when you open Lodge, read the minutes,
close Lodge, and go down and drink coffee is a thing of the past. If we expect
intelligent men to attend Masonic meetings, we have got to offer them some
"meat", some interesting materials, something that challenges them to
constant discussions on the philosophies of the moral values of
Freemasonry. When we do that, when we realize ttpt the meeting is the payoff, and that we must have an interesting meeting at every stated Communication, then we will begin to bring our Brethren back into our meetings,
and the question of membership will solve itself.
Another thing you just might be interested in hearing is, the re-action at
the Grand Master's Conference to another thing that you Minnesota
brethren did. You are all aware of tlte Veterans Administration Hospital
visitation program of the Masonic Service Association of the United States.
We have Masonic Service Representatives in all of the Veterans Hospitals in
the United States, and they are doing a tremendous work' Your Brother
David Palmer is one of them here in Minnesota. This is a program tlat has
been hit by inflation, as has so many of our Masonic programs. The Grand
Lodge of Minnesota made a special appeal last year and raised some
$18,000.00 which was presented for this Hospital Visitation program. fitat
contribution from the Grand Lodge of Minnesota was the largest single
contribution of any Grand Jurisdiction in the United States toward this
program, and your Grand Master was invited to the East, tribute was paid to
the Brethren of Minnesota, and I think you are all entitled to share in the
appreciation of the Masons of the United States, for what your Grand lodge
has done in spear-heading this program.
On behalf of our distinguished guests that are here on the platform this
morning, I again repeat our appreciation for the privilege of being with you
for this 118th Annual Communication, and our every good wish for successful
growth of Freemasonry in the state of Minnesota during the years that lie
ahead. Thank you.
The Grand Master called for a reading of the minutes of the last (r17th)
Annual Communication, APril
1970.
Ttre Grand'Secretary recommended that the minuteE of the last Annual
Communication and intervening Communications be approved as printed in
the proceedings. The recommendation was adopted.
The M.W. Grand Master presented his Address. It was moved that the
report be accepted and referred to the committee on Distribution. fite
t7
motion was adopted.
GRAND MASTER'S ADDRESS
My Brothers in Masonry, I feel most humble as I stand before you as
Grand Master of this great Jurisdiction of Minnesota to report to you on my
stewardship for this past year. It has been an exciting and challenging year.
I am indebted to you for the opportunity and privilege of serving you. I extend a very warm and sincere welcome to each and everyone of you, to this
our ll8th Annual Communication. I hope you will enjoy every minute of it,
and that you will return to your respective Lodges, challenged and inspired
to serve your Brothers with greater enthusiasm and to make Masonry more
meaningful.
I am extremely happy to have such a fine delegation of visiting
dignitaries from other Grand Jurisdictions from near and far. Minnesota
has been especially fortunate for many years in having such a fine
relationship with our Canadian Brothers. We are so happy to see such a fine
representation from several Provinces. To all of you distinguished guests, in
behalf of the Masons of Minnesota, I bid you a very warm welcome. We hope
your visit with us will be most enjoyable and rewarding. If there is anything
we can do to make your visit more pleasant, please don't hesitate to let us
know, and please take our warm greetings back to your respective
Jurisdictions, and come back again and again.
My Brothers, as we meet here today at this our l18th Annual Communication, let us be mindful of the blessings that are ours as Americans, as
Masons. Too often we take these blessings for granted. We haven't had to
make any real personal sacrifices to enjoy the privilege of being here. We
haven't had to live in fear because of being Masons. We don't have to
assemble in secret. We meet here with the Holy Bible open on the altar
before us. We are able to worship God, the Grand Architect, according to the
way our conscience directs, without fear of ridicule or imprisonment.
We can speak freely of our political beliefs and vote as our conscience
directs. We need not fear the secret police. A man's vote, regardless of his
race, color, creed, or personal wealth, has equal power. There are no walls
of steel and concrete, guarded by machine guns and bayonets separating us
from seeing our relatives or loved ones, and preventing us from exchanging
our affections and expressing our thoughts regarding our political or
religious beliefs. We can travel throughout the lengtb and breadth of this
great land of ours without being harassed or harboring the slightest thought
of fear. Yes, my Brothers, we can even cross the borders to the north of us to
enjoy the fellowship and warm hospitality of our Canadian neighbors, with
only a question of who we are and whither are we traveling. Again I say, we
in America, because you and I have always had these privileges, accept and
assume them without a second thought of how fortunate we are and how
grateful we should be. But usually with blessings, someone has paid the
price or made the sacrifice.
18
Those ofus who profess to be Christians, believe that Jesus Christ died
on the Cross of Calvary. to give life and freedom from death. History relates
of many others who gave their lives for beliefs and principles for which they
stood.
The freedoms we have and enjoy as Americans, as Masons, were not
gained without a tremendous price being paid. Our history books today tell
little of the sacrifice made of family, home, possessions and self, made by
our forefathers, for the freedoms we enjoy. And of course they do not in any
way relate that Masons or Masonry played any part at all
in
the
achievement of these freedoms.
We must never forget. nor should we let others forget, that Masons and
I\lasonry had much to do in gaining and preserving our freedoms for us. Let
us be mindful of the fact that our Masonic forefathers u'ere willing to pledge
their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor that they, but more
especially those that were to follow, might enjoy those freedoms we claim
are ours today. At a time like this it is well that we do take time to reflect and
pay our respects to those who have gone before us
- those who have laid the
foundation that has made it possible for us to meet together here today.
Although we are all aware that the freedoms we enjoy are denied to the
majority of this world's inhabitants, too many of us assume that we in
America can't lose them. But there have been and there are forces at work
all about us, and particularly among our college youth, with only one object
in view
that of destroying this great country we call America.
-
Listen to this, my Brothers:
Mr. George A. Brautigan, State Attorney for the State of Florida,
secured the following Rules for Revolution from a known member of the
Communist Party. In May of 1919 at Dusseldorf, Germany, the Allied Forces
obtained the same copy, As you can see over fifty years later the Reds are
still following these same rules. As you listen and read the list, think about
the present day situation, what has happened in Minnesota and all around
our great Nation. I quote from the Red Rules.
A. Corrupt the young; get them away from religion. Get them interested
in sex. Make them superficial; destroy their ruggedness.
B. Get control of all means of publicity, thereby:
1. Get people's minds off their government by focusing their attention on athletics, sexy books, plays and other trivialities.
2. Divide the people into hostile groups by constantly harping on
controversial matters of no importance.
3. Destroy the people's faith in their natural leaders by holding the
latter up to contempt, ridicule, obloquy (Defamatory language).
4. Always preach true democracy, but seize power as fast and as
ruthlessly as possible.
5. By encouraging government extravagance, destroy its credit,
produce fear of inflation with rising prices and general discontent.
6. Promote unnecessary strikes in vital industries, encourage civil
disorders and foster a lenient and soft attitude on the part of government
toward such disorders.
7. By specious argument cause tbe breakdown of the old moral
virtues, honesty, sobriety, continence, faith in the pledged word and
ruggedness.
C. Cause the registration of all fire-arms on some pretext with a view to
eonfiscating them and leaving the population helpless".
This is quite a list isn't it? Now stop and think how many of these rules
are being carried out in the nation today? How can any thinking person
truthfully say that the Communists do not have any part in the chaos that is
upsetting our nation today?
We Americans, because of the sAcrifice 0f our forefathers, inherited the
blessings and privileges of this great land of ours. It is our responsibility to
see that our children inherit a country of opportunity, and free of domination
by either church or state.
At this moment there are other forces at work that can also undermine
and destroy the freedoms we have enjoyed. One of the principles that has
made America the great democracy it is, has been that of complete
separation of church and state, where no religion dominates. Masonry has
always advocated this. Our country's Constitution written by our Masonic
forefathers clearly defines it. Masonry has realized the necessity of free
public schools. But today in our own State Capitol on the hill, and in many
other state capitols throughout these United States, our free public schools
system is being attacked in a most dangerous and sinister manner. Like so
many of the criminal cases today, the criminal isn't tried on the basis of
whether or not he's guilty, but his freedom is often gained on some
technicality of the law. And the same approach is being made to use public
tax monies for parochial and private schools. If this approach succeeds, it
will mean the beginning of the end, not only of our free public schools, but of
our democracy as well.
My Brothers, let us not fail in our duties to those who follow us
to our
children and children's children. Let us be militant in upholding the prinmust
our
altars.

What about Masonry in Minnesota?
Although our membership figures do not indicate it, we have had a very
active year of Masonry throughout our jurisdiction. Many encouraging signs
are appearing that would indicate to me that in spite of our annual losses in
membership we are building on solid ground.
I believe that the emphasis on good leadership is making all of us more
conscious of the need for better planning and more enthusiastic over the
opportunities before us in overcoming many of the problems we are being

Necrology
As the membership statistics show, the Grand Architect deemed it best
to call 1,513 of our Brothers from their earthly temples here to the celestial
Lodge above, there to enjoy everlasting fellowship. Of this number called
home, two had served us as Grand Master of Masons of Minnesota. Each of
them, Most Worshipful Brother Stafford King, Grand Master in 1961, and
Most Worshipful Brother Edwin W. Toms, Grand Master in 1968, possessed
unusual leadership talents. Th'ey served us faithfully and with distinction.
We will miss their presence with us. A memorial service will be held during
tomorrow morning's session at which time their Masonic history will be
given.

Grand Masters Conference in Washington
It
was my privilege to attend the Conference of Grand Masters of
Masons of North America in Washington, D.C. on February 23rd and 24th,
197f. Right Worshipful Brother William W. Widstrand and our Grand
Secretary, Right Worshipful Brother Harvey R. Hansen also attended.
I was honored to be a member of the program Committee which
selected the following topics for discussion:
1. The Masonic Celebration of the 200th Anniversary of. 1726.
2. Should our Fraternity Try to Keep pace with the Modern Changing
World?
3. Is Leadership Training the Most Imperative Need in Masonry Today?
4. Would it be Advisable to Open our Temples for youth and Community
Activities?
Very interesting and worthwhile discussion followed. I feel that much
good is accomplished in exchanging ideas with Grand Masters and other
Grand Lodge officers from every Jurisdicition in the united States. as well
as Canada and several foreign countries.

We in Minnesota have reason to be proud for several reasons. Our

have reached their sunset years of life, are able to enjoy each other's
companionship in beautiful home-like surroundings. Then, also, for our Care
Center. which is providing for the needs of those whose health has

loving group of employees. I wish to express my appreciation to Superin-

This was the Golden Anniversary Year of our Home. A very appropriate
and enjoyable program was held on Sunday, August 16, 1970, which was
attended by r"u"ril hundred interested Masons, their wives and Jriends.
During thii 50th Anniversary year, a "$100.00 club" was established for the

Fraternal Relations at Rochester
Over a period of many years, our Grand Lodge, in cooperation with
Rochester l-odge No. 21, has carried. on a most unusual service - that of
providing a fuli time Masonic visitor to offer assistance to all our Brothers
and their families, not only from our own Jurisdiction, but from all
Jurisdictions and countries throughout the world, who are having to be
patients at the MaYo Clinic.
Upon retirement of Brother Leslie M. Thornton December 31, 1969 as our
,,uospitat Visitor", we were favored with the services of Reverend Brother
David J. Eastburn. He was later succeeded by worshipful Brother Arnold E.
27
Ulrich, who continues to serve in that capacity.
Minnesota has received much favorable comment for this service. May I
urge you, if you or members of your family ever have to become patients of
the Mayo Clinic, that you notify our office there. you will soon be reading
more about this fine work in Rochester, in the Minnesota Mason. I urge you
to read it carefully. Again, we are very indebted to many Brothers for their
assistance. Particularly do I want to commend Worshipful Brother Glenn B.
Burbach, Chairman, and his Committee for their unselfish efforts. We thank
them one and all.
Masonic Serl'ice Association
Most of you are familiar with the "little Blue Envelope,'. Over a period
ofyears, we have endeavored to encourage the use of this envelope. As you
know, for many of our Brothers in the various Veterans Hospitals throughout
our United States, the war will never end. We cannot forget them. We must
continue to call on them and try to encourage and help them in every way
possible. I am proud of the fact that when attending the Annual Masonic
Service Association meeting in Washington, D.C. on February 2hrd this
year, that I, on behalf of the Masons of Minnesota, presented a check in the
amount of $18,200.00. This was a result of your voluntary gifts. I know there
are still some secretaries who are not sending out these ,,blue envelopes",
but I am pleased to report that this year over 200 Lodges participated. I hope
that this coming year all of you will respond to this humanitarian appeal. As
I have repeatedly stated, we have no desire to embarrass anyone, in
soliciting for this wonderful work, but we do feel that you as a Mason are
entitled to determine in your own heart, whether or not you would like to give
a
dollar, or more or less, to this great work.
In addition to the above projects, you will be pleased to know that
Minnesota sent a check in the amount of $1,000.00 for the use of our
distressed Brothers who have suffered as a result of the peru earthquake.
Another $1.000.00 was given, in cooperation with several of our fine Lodges,
in assisting a d!stressed Brother who met with great misfortune. It makes
nre proud that I am a Mason in Minnesota.
Order of DeMolay
\4'e are all well aware of the need to encourage good youth projects in
cver)' \^'ay possible. If we expect to have a better America tomorrow we
nrust invest in our youth today. I hope we will all feel our personal responsibility to support DeMolday and Job's Daughters in whatever way we can
mostly with our time. This year our Grand Lodge supported DeMolay to the
extent of $12,000.00. I am pleased to report that the DeMolay Foundation has
been reorganized so as to enable and encourage the various Bodies of
Masonry to participate. We hope and trust that this wonderful organization

of DeMolay, during this 50th Anniversary year in Minnesota,

will grow and
Masonic Foundation
At this Communication, you will be given an opportunity to vote to
establish the Minnesota Masonic Foundation, Inc. We hope that through the
creation of this Foundation, Brothers and friends of Masonry will be able to
make gifts that can be used for Masonic Scholarships and other worthwhile
projects 0f a charitable or philantbropic nature'
Masonic Unity
As a result of our action at the last Annual Communication, we
authorized our Grand Lodge to participate in the Minnesota Masonic Unity
conference. It has now been formally established. This organization in
which representatives of most of our appendant Bodies will participate,
should do much in bringing the various Bodies closer together and
developing a better understanding and working relationship.

2. Because it is our desire to try and ascertain Masonry's influence on
DeMolay, we would like to add this question, "Were you ever a member of a
DeMolay Chapter?" to our Petition for Degrees form.
3. This would eliminate the present requirement that all local Lodge
returns be audited, and thus save additional audit fees. Your corporate
Board of Trustees recommend adoption of the resolution.
4. In the event of an increase in dues by the Grand Lodge, this will
enable a local Lodge to immediately amend their By-Laws to increase their
dues by the same amount as the Grand Lodge Per capita increase without
requiring approval of the Jurisprudence Committee.
5. This would increase the Grand Lodge Per Capita dues from tlte

REPORTOF TIIE COMMITTF]E ON
MASONIC RESEARCH AND EDTICATION
To the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge A.F. &
A.ll.
of !linnesota:
Your Committee has during the past year concerned itself with and
brought to fruition several major projects. All have been designed as a
service to every Constituent Lodge in Minnesota and are being placed in the
hands of Lodge representatives at this Communication.
each of these will be put to use in every Lodge.
It is our
45
hope that
The first project developed and completed is "The Table Lodge." This is
an impressive program designed to take place with Brothers seated at a
festive table. A dinner is recommended but is not absolutely necessary. It is
an occasion to invite a special speaker to bring a Masonic message. It may
be planned for a Grand Master's visitation with other Grand Officers. Seven
traditional toasts are given in which all Brothers participate. A complete
script, together with helps and hints to enable every Lodge to plan and
present a "Table Lodge" at least once each year, is contained in our Committee's packet which you will receive today.
The second work of your Committee was the development of a Directory
of Speakers. The directory has been prepared as an aid to Worshipful
Masters, Lodge Officers, or Program Committeemen in obtaining speakers
and planning interesting and effective programs. Some programs will be
best presented in the tyled Lodge. Many others can be outstanding in their
appeal to Masons, their families and friends. All speakers listed in the
Directory are prepared to speak in either situation. The Directory also includes a section on "How to Arrange for a Speaker."
The third project of your Committee was the compiling of a catalog of
Masonic Books and Literature. This catalog is also contained in the kit which
is ready for you today.
Our fourth proiect of this year was the original preparation of script for
entitled "So You Raised Him." We presented this at all
seven area conferences where members of our Committee together with the
help of local Brothers took part in the half-hour performance. This script is
also in your kit and is recommended for use in your Lodge. The message is:
How to put the new Master Mason to work in your Lodge; how to help him
a Lodge presentation
further his knowledge of Masonry
During the year several of the Candidate Booklets ,,euest for Masonic
Light" have been reprinted. Our Grand Secretary's office has on hand an
adequate supply. We urge all Lodge Secretaries to place orders so the
complete set of five booklets will be readily available for your presentation
lo candidates at the proper time.
We also have in our Grand Secretary's office a supply of the plaque ,,A
Mason" in size B x l0 inches for framing and in pocket billfold size in plastic.
Developed by your Committee a year ago, we recommend that your Lodge
purchase these for sale or presentation to all members of your Lodge.
During the year past we also reviewed and studied the work of eight
olher Grand Lodge Committees on Masonic Education in those respective
other Grand Jurisdictions.

Gentlemen:
We have examined the balance sheet of the Grand Lodge A.F' & A.M' of
Minnesota as of February 28, 19?1, and the related statements of cash
receipts and cash expenditures for the year then ended. Our examination
was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and
accordingly included such tests of the accounting records and such other
auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheet and statements of cash
receipts and cash expenditures present fairly the financial position of the
Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Minnesota at February 28, 1971, on a cash basis
(except for minor accruals and liabilities for receipts that will be remitted to
other organizations), and the results of its operations for the fiscal year then
ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied
on a basis consistent with that ofpreceding years.

than from the Order of DeMolay. We hope that each Lodge, where there are
21 to support a DeMolay
start a Chapter or at least
ly engaged in the work of
s and building up the Advisory Councils of all Chapters needing it.
Your Committee has also been active in supporting and promoting the
50th Anniversary of DeMolay in Minnesota which will be on the 16th of April,
1971. The 50th Anniversary celebration will be held in Duluth, as that is
where the first DeMolay chapter was organized and this will be held on May
B, l9?1. We are hopeful that all branches of Masonry in the entire state will
participate in this celebration. It is a real milestone in the history of
beMolay in our great state. Let's all get behind it and push DeMolay back
into its place of prominence in Minnesota.

ANNUAL REPORTOF THE COMMITTEE ON
FRATERNAL RELATIONS AT ROCHESTER
February 28, l97l
To the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Minnesota:
Your Committee on Fraternal Relations at Rochester makes the
following report for the Grand Lodge Year ending February 28, 1971.
The work of the Grand Lodge Hospital Visitation and Fraternal
Relations at Rochester has been carried on without interruption during the
past year as efficiently as before, even though it was necessary to make a
change in personnel. The temporary arrangement made in the early part of
the year 1970 was not satisfactory and Worshipful Brother Arnold Ulrich of
66
Rochester Lodge No. 21 was appointed to carry on the Grand Lodge program
as its representative.
Because of a change in procedure by the Mayo Clinic in the registration
of patients, and in the speeding-up of appointments for examinations,
resulting in an early completion of these requirements, the result has been a
greatly shortened period of staying in Rochester for the patients. Therefore
there are fewer calls at the Masonic Temple by our Brethren while they are
in the city. The Grand Lodge Committee on Fraternal Relations at
Rochester, at its one and only called meeting of the year re€xamined the
working schedule of the Hospital Representative and decided that the full
program of the Grand Lodge Fraternal Relations Committee could be
maintained at its present high standard of excellency and with the same
deep concern for our hospitalized Masonic Brethren on a part time basis and
by limiting the hours spent in the office by our Representative. There is no
change in the number of hours spent by the Hospital Visitor in calling at the
hospitals nor is there any change in his availability to Masonic Brethren for
the full 24 hours each day. The office work has been done without the services of a clerk for the time being. This program has been in operation for
several months and has proven very satisfactory. The savings made by
these changes are reflected in the budget request for the next year.
During the year, there has been an increase in the number of Brother
Masons in hospitals, as compared to last year. However, due to tlte shorter
stay of patients in Rochester hospitals, the total number of calls made upon
hospitalized Brethren has again declined somewhat, from 3717 in 1969 to 3240
in 1970. Included in this total number are patients from 42 of our United
States and from all Canadian Provinces from Nova Scotia to British
Columbia, also included were Brethren from Honduras, Puerto Rico and
Costa Rica and Brazil. Many of these Masonic Brothers have expressed their
appreciation for the interest of the Grand Lodge of Minnesota in their
welfare and comfort, by their letters and other correspondence to the Grand
Lodge Representative.
At the Christmas Season, a beautiful and appropriately printed card,
inscribed, "Greetings, from the Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Minnesola and
Rochester Lodge No. 21" was sent to each of the 37 Brethren in the hospitals
at that time. Also during the year, and for the first time, a sign indicating the
office of the Grand Lodge of Minnesota, Fraternal Relations at Rochester Representative - Arnold E. Ulrich was placed on the Rochester Masonic
Temple.
The Committee on Fraternal Relations at Rochester wish to express
their sincere thanks to Most Worshipful Grand Master Donald Barnes for his
assistance, his suggestions and his great patience during this year of change
and adjustment. Also our thanks and appreciation to Grand Secretary
Harvey R. Hansen, who has been a very great help to this Committee by his
knowledge and his complete co-operation, and for his outstanding job of
67
getting information to the various Grand Jurisdictions with which this
Grand Lodge maintains relations, calling their attention to the Masonic
Service at Rochester.
The membership of this Committee in its entirety, has been interested,
devoted to their task and most cooperative. A splendid group to work with.
Our budget request for the
1971
Grand Lodge Year is as follows:
Salary for the Visiting Representativq at the hospitals
$4,200.00
Salary of the Relief Representative, on a basis of $90.00 per week
(2 weeks vacation and 2 weeks sick leave, as needed)
360.00
300.00
Reimbursement of Visiting Representative for use of his car
Operating expense of office at Rochester
(Includes parking fees for Representative)
800.00
Salary of Office Clerk
(only if needed because of increased visitors)
1,200.00
Total proposed budget requOst, or so much thereof as needed $6,860.00
This represents a sizeable cut in the budget request.

that are happening within our world, in the way of not considering the rnoral
principals that we have so long upheld, and how the ideas are changing in
this regard. I was thinking that first these things seem outlandish to.tts; if
they are repeated to us often enough in the form of obscene literature, obscene paintings, and obscene plays on television. We become used to them,
and we accept them. I believe it is one of the duties of Freemasons, where
ever they may be, to continue to make it very clear that they are not going to
stand for thiskind of thing. We still believe in those moral principles which
our fathers, and their fathers, stood for when they formed the Lodges that
are in our Jurisdictions today. First seems to come the acceptance of this
type of thing; then comes the change in the law, and I think we, as
Freemasons, should make it very clear to those that make our laws that we
do not approve of this. We are today, at the mercy of a vocal minority in
many cases. Let us, Brethren, become a vocal majority so that we may
retain those parts of our good living and good conduct, which are so essential
to great Nations.
Now, Most Worshipful Grand Master, I'd like to wish for a continuance
of the very fine Grand Lodge Communication, which you have so very well
begun, and on behalf of our wives and ourselves, thank you very sincerely
from the Brethren of Canada.

WHEREAS, your Committee appointed by the Grand Master to make a
survey of Grand Lodge finances, and the annual receipts and disbursements
of the General Fund of the Grand Lodge, find that receipts are running less
than disbursements, and,
WHEREAS, there has been an increase in operating costs of approximately 3 percent a year for the past several years, and, that this trend
is expected to continue, and,
WHEREAS, it is felt that the following services enhance the image of
Freemasonry and therefore should be expanded as deemed necessary for
the best interests of the Fraternity:
"The Minnesota Mason" as official publication.
A speakers bureau to make speakers available to the constituent
Lodges.
Expansion and improvement in Area Conferences.
District Representatives visitations, and,
WHEREAS, it is known that our Minnesota Masonic Home requires
additional funds for its operation, and,
WHEREAS, it is your Committee's recommendation that the General
Fund be placed on a sound business basis without impairing the amounts
now in the Reserve and Benevolence Funds, and,
WHEREAS, it is believed that a Two Dollar ($2.00) increase in Per
Capita Dues with One Dollar ($1.00) being allocated to the General Fund
and, One Dollar ($1.00) being allocated to Ttre Minnesota Masonic Home
would provide the funds necessary,
NOW, THEREFORE, be it hereby resolved, That Article III, Sections
3.16 (d), and 3.17 and, Article XII, Section 3.130 of the General Regulations of
this Grand Lodge, found on pages 39, 40, 41 and 74 of the 1967 Code, be
amended so that the same will read as follows:

ARTICLE III, Section 3.17 (c) Sub-paragraph (c-l) Two Dollars and
Fifty Cents ($2.50) of each Five Dollars ($5.00) received as per capita shall
be apportioned toward the maintenance of the Minnesota Masonic Home, a
corporation under the control of the Grand Lodge;
Sub-paragraph (c-2) Ten cents (10c)
of each Five Dollars
($5.00)
received as per capita shall be apportioned to the Benevolence Fund of the
Grand Lodge;
Sub-paragraph (c-3) Two Dollars and Forty Cents ($2.40) of each Five
Dollars ($5.00) received as per capita shall remain in the General Fund of
the Grand Lodge to meet the budgeted expenses of that Grand Lodge Fund.
ARTICLE XII, Section 3.130. A Lodge cannot have a ByJaw allowing a
member to pay Lodge dues by installments. Lodge ByJaws shall prescribe
annual dues of not less than Seven Dollars ($7.00) per year for each member,
payable in advance, and a proportional amount for an unexpired part of the
Lodge year. Lodge ByJaws may, however, prescribe annual dues of not less
than Two Dollari (92.00) for each member, plus the amount of annual per
capita due the Grand Lodge for its operations and maintenance of the
Minnesota Masonic Home.
That these amendments shall be in full force and effect commencing as

Most Worshipful Grand Master and Brethren:
With your permission, I would like to take just a few minutes to set you
thinking about something which, to me, is getting to be of grave concerri for
Minnesota Masonry and Freemasonry in general. It would be my hope that
you would give this serious consideration, take it back to your home Lodges,
and determine their wishes for consideration at the 19/2 furrrual Communication. Many of you will be back again next year, or, if not, someone
will represent your Lodge in our voting.
I
I refer to the traditional age at which young man may petition for
membership in Freemasonry. Out of habit, or whatever it has been. we have
steadfastly kept that age at twenty{ne years, I suppose because our Cipher
states. "Being a man, freeborn, of lawful age, and well-recominended."
Lawful age has been interpreted to be twentyone years. gncient Landmark
Number Nine, in our Minnesota Masonic Code, says a candidate must be, "A
man of mature age, free bom, etc." But, my Bretbren, nowhere in any
of our Masonic printings, that I am aware of, does it statd that a man must
specifically be twentyone years of age.
Despite some of the things we see in
orr country today, a young man
reaches a "mature age," my Brethren, sfi)ner than you and I did. llre increased pace of learning, our advanced travel methods, and the availability
of much more information to young men of today, puts them way ahead of
what we were at their age, whether we like to admit it or not.
My feeling is that we need to get ourselves in gear, and get with the
times in which we live. The Ancient Landmarks and tbe teachings of our
profession, I most certainly want to stay with, but fte Landmark does not
say "twentyone."
Young men of today, at 18, can now vote in national elections, and un-
90
doubtedly will soon vote in all elections, They are old enough to register for
defense of our country and its great ideals, and why shouldn't they also be
afforded the privileges that you and I enjoy in our great Fraternity? Perhaps
you might say that they are too frivolous and flighty to absorb the responsibilities that go along with membership in Masonry. I think not! I daresay
that most of us, when we first went into Masonry, were very inactive for
some time after being raised. BUT, if the ritual was-properly performed
and the lessons properly taught, we eventually came back to the Lodge and
became active.
Then too, our Masonic membership total is declining, but I am not
concerned with mere numbers. I would much rather have 40,000 active,
interested Masons in our state than 62,000, and half of them inactive or
disinterested, or both.
My main thought is with you Brethren here assembled, and thousands of
other Brothers in this state, who have sons who complete high school' and
then are off to trade school, college, or what have you, and by the time they
reach age twenty-one, we, as Masonic fathers, have lost them to our
Fraternity. Once they leave the nest, no matter how influential we have been
to them, Masonically, they become involved in their own lives and we lose
them, in most cases, forever. Whatever influence we may have had upon
them disintegrates.
What I am trying to say to you is this: My respectful request of you
would be that you go back to the members of your Lodge, talk this over
several times during the coming year, and then come back to next year's
Annual Communication and vote your, or your Lodge's, desire.
It is my intent to present leg_islation in this regard at the 1972 Annual
Communication, and, of course, whatever the vote may be, of the members
present at that time, will be graciously accepted. Thank you.
Past Grand Master Joseph
L.
Seltzer, Chairman of the Fraternal
Correspondence Committee gave the report for the Committee and moved
its adoption. It was so ordered.
REPORT OF THE FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE COMMITTEE
To the Most
Worshipful Grand Loilge A'F. & A.M. of Minnegota:
Your Fraternal Correspondence Committee hereby submits its report
on fraternal correspondence and relations with other Jurisdictions for the
period ended FebruarY 28, 1971.
91
The year just ended has been marked by an absence of requests for
recognition by our Grand Lodge, and the information received has not
suggested any changes in recognition should be recommended at this time.
Your Committee has continued to endeavor to keep abreast of matters of
or concern to this Grand Lodge and, in compliance with its
prescribed duties, a very brief summary of activities in other Grand
interest
Jurisdictions coming to the attention of the Committee is submittd.
Cuba
The Grand Lodge of Cuba continues to operate as previously reported,
according to our information, but the Grand Lodge of Florida, which has
been in the forefront in assisting refugee Cuban brethren to maintain
Masonic status has taken steps to phase out some of such activities and to
request these unfortunate brethren to seek affiliation with a Florida lodge if
membership is to be retainedandsupportedby that GrandLodge.
Membership
Continued decline in membership has been of concern to most Grand
Jurisdictions, but it is worthy of mention that one Grand Lodge, Tennessee,
reported a gain in membership for the 29th consecutive year, that ended
December 31, 1969. It was also mentioned that the other Grand Bodies, both
York and Scottish Rite in that state had reflected gains in membership for
1969. Nevertheless, a tabulation prepared for the Grand Lodge of Missouri
listed 39 Grand Jurisdictions of which only six showed gains. lte figures
were largely for
1969.
Appendant Bodies
one Grand Jurisdiction, Kentucky, took no action toward recognition of
a rather well-known organization, Allied Masonic Degrees, and a second
declined to recognize a club styled "Masonic War Veterans of Florida, Inc."
It was suggested attempts to compete with or lessen the inlluence or activities of any regular Lodge of Masons should be discouraged' honouncements of other Grand Lodges likewise expressed dissatisfaction wi0t
dilution of Masonic interest by diversifying efforts.
Attendance
Considerable comment was noted about poor attendance at Grand
Lodge Communications, something which migbt well be considered
seriously by the Masters and Wardens of our own Minnesota Io@es and
emphasis placed upon the solemn duty which is theirs in this regard.

GRAf-IIDIODGEOFMINNEIIOTA
Bicentennlal ol the UnlScd States of America
'
Plars are being advanced to celebrate the 2(X)ttt anniversary of the
founding of our nation, which will occur in 19?6. It would appear this will
affordeach Grand Lodge an excellent opportunity to gain valuable publicity
by joining in commemorating tlis historical occasion. But in the report to
the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania was found this disheartening comment:
"At present the Committee does not favor a Masonic parade lest it require
the National Guard to protect,the members."
Rellef
A number of Grand Lodges have reviewed the activities of the Board.s of
Relief as to both effectiveness and method.s of operation, in the light of
changing conditions. In California, for example, where Boards of Relief
operate under the Grand Lodge, it was found some Boards were inclined to
act quite independently, !o arbitrarily accumulate fund.s, to distribute relief
moneys and opera0e office without consulting the supervising authority.
However, for fte period ended June 30, 1969 it was stated 1,0112 funerals for
sgjourners had been conducted by California Boards of Relief, 8,017 service
calls on sick sojourners were made but that requests for relief were only 293,
of which 236 were favorably disposed of and relief extended. A sad comment
appeared in the report of the Board of Relief to the Grand Lodge of South
Carolina:
"Under present conditions Masonic relief to worthy, dishessed Masons,
their widows and orphans amounts to a maximum of $?.(X) per month and a
when we realize how little such help means under
minimum of $15.00
present conditions, we must have hesitaney in professing to belong 0o a
-
charitable institution."
Buildings
The question as to whetler Grand Lodges should own their office
buildings has been tlte subject of considerable debate.
Japan
The Grand Lodge of Japan has made special efforts to provide aid for
children requiring corrective eye surgery. fire relorts of cases handled are
interesting and heart-warming.
Attendance at Masonic Funerals
One Grand Lodge, where Masonic funerals are given special con-
sideration and which makes it obliga0ory to attend such a funeral when
requested had to dispose of a case involving a brother who had failed on
93
thirteen occasions to perform his duty when requested. Upon being summoned to appear and make answer he stated the charges were "ludicrous"
and he would be unable to attend the hearing. Quite appropriately the Grand
Lodge, after review, sustained the recommendations of the Trial Commission and his Lodge by imposing indefinite suspension.
Lodge in Saigon, South Vietnam
The Grand Lodge of the Philippines has gtanted a charter to Saigon
'Lodge No. 188, South Vietnam, which Lodge had previously operated under a
dispensation from the same Grand Lodge.

Our legislators are constantly being bombarded by devious schemes to
circumvent the law and unless those that disagree make their thoughts
known, those that represent us must surely feel tlat we agree with the
proposals. We give our approval by doing nothing as surely as by coming out
for these actions. that are slowly chipping away at our hard won con-
stitutional freedoms.
Masons are admonished in the 26th landmark, "that no subject of sectarian or political character can be discussed in a lodge"; and in the ttd
landmark that, "obedience tolaw and civil government is the rule and guide
of every Mason 0o which strict conformity is required". Your Committee
feels thatalmost all actions of man can be termed political in some sense. It
also feels, however, that support of our duly constituted government is a
must if we are to retain those freedoms tltat our forefathers fouglrt and died
for and that we aF Masons stand for.
We recommend that all Masons make themselves tloroughly familiar
with the various plans being proposed to siphon off public tax funds for nonpublic schools contrary to the intent of our state and national constitutions.
We must then as individua! citizens make our wishes known to those that
represent us in government. Let us not become indifferent to our responsibility for promoting good public school education for all Americans.
There is considerable literature available on this subject on the table in
the outer lobby. Some of the ma0erial has been prepared by the State
Coordinating Committee on Public Education and its supporting bodies,
some by Americans United for Separation of Church and State and some by
your Committee. Take it, read it and take action.

REPORT ON THE MINNESOTA MASONIC UNITY CONFERENCE
The Minnesota Masohic Unitv Conference adopted Articles of
Association and By-Laws on January 23, 19?0 and, during the past year, two
regular meetings were held on May 17, 19/0 and November 7, 1970.

GRANDIODGEOFMINNESOIA
You will recall that at the last Annual Communication of the Grand
Lodge the following resolution was passliri:
"The program of the Minnesota Masonic Unity Conference ishereby
recognized by the Grand Lodge of Minnesota, provided that no funds of the
Grand Lodge shall be appropriated and orpended to support this. Conference, excepting that a nominal fee for membership in the Confenence
may be appropriatedand expendedby the GrandJ.odge".
The broad general pur?ose of the Minnesota Masonic Unity Conference
as stated in its preamble is "To increase the influence of trIeemasonry and
to stimula0e fraternal relations between the representative bodies in the
State of Minnesota". More specifically this purpose is statpd as follows
:
t. To provide a fomm for the general discussion and solution of problems
confronting Freemasonry in Minnesota.
2. To stimulate and accomplish unity of purpose between all bodies of
Minnesota Masonry and to secure the cooperative efforts of all in support of
improvement programs.
3. To transmit the cooperation ideA tlrough
dl the bodies to the local
levels.
The Conference at its first meeting considered suggestions for study
from the various bodies. At its second meeting the following topics were
considered and suggested follow-ups were planned:
1.
How can the various bodies help Blue Lodge Masonry?
2.
What are the problems of the appendant bodies?
3.
How can the various bodies best help themselves?
4. How does Minnesota Masonry work
with the various race and color
differences?
At the annual meeting in May of 1971 the following subjects will
considered:
1. A positive approach to encourage Masonic membership.
2.
Preparation of a brochure on Minnesota Masonic Philanthropies.
3. Define anii categorize problems of unity.

meeting.
As Chairman of the Unity Conference, I feel that we have made considerable progress in getting to know and understand the problems of the
various bodies in Masonry, and now we can begin to seek out solutions that
will be for the benefit of all, and especially the Blue Lodges from which all
membership is derived.
It is a great personal pleasure to'report that all appendant bodies have
given excellent cooperation and attendance at the meetings, and I feel tlrat
with this fine spirit of cooperAtion on the part of the leaders of the
represented organizations the Conference can and will make a significant
contribution to all of Masonry in Minnesota. It is very encouraging
group working together for a common purpose.

REPORTONTHE
MINNESOTA DEMOLAY FOUNDATION INCORPORATED
The Minnesota DeMolay Foundation Incorporated adopted new Articles
of Incorporation on October l0th of this past year, and these provide for a
Board of Directors consisting of representatives from the various Masonic
bodies in Minnesota including the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge, the
Scottish Rites, the York Rites, the Shrines, tlre Grottoes, tlte Legion of
Honor, the Executive Officer of the Supreme Council of DeMolay, the State
Master Councilor and four elected members from the various Chapters of
DeMolay in Minnesota.
The purpose of the Foundation is to promote on a state wide basis,
irregardless of race, creed or color, the social, moral, educational and
fraternal interests and welfare of boys and young men by establishing,
sponsoring or assisting and generally helping or servicing organizations
composed of boys or young men or both, or that have a program designed to
98
help boys or young men develop as outlined above, particularly through
DeMolay organizations or DeMolay activities in the State of Minnesota.
The immediate activity of this concentration of state wide effort in a
board of interested Masons from all the represented bodies is centered in the
following committees:
1.
Committe on Program, Sponsorships and Visitations. This committee
will work with the Field Director to develop a state wide program to accomplish continuous growth of DeMolay by encouraging good programming
and developing a plan to secure sponsorships and advisors.
Committee on Finances. This committee will work out the necessary

program to finance the Foundation's endeavors.
3. Committee on Public Relations. This committee will develop and
place into effect a program that will build a state wide acceptance of
DeMolay. All Masons and citizens of our state should know the purpose and
activities of DeMolay.
State wide membership in DeMolay at the end of the last four calendar
years has been as follows:
1967........2093
1968........1878
1969

Many of our interested Brothers are making a significant contribution in
time and talents.
We can surely make no greater investment in our youth than to encourage participation on the part of Lodges and Masons in our effort to
provide facilities and councilors for DeMolay.

Most Worshipful Grand Master, distinguished guests, my Brethren:
I thank you Most Worshipful, for tlle most flattering greeting. I can
claim no credit for whatever success is that of Ohio Masonry. Naturally we
are proud of the fact that we are the largest Masonic Jurisdiction in the
United States, butwe realize thatwith that, comes greatresponsibility.
We, in Ohio have great respect for Minnesota Masonry. Over a period of
years you have given to Masdnry in these United States some outstanding
leaders. I tlrink that perhaps the fact that you are a little younger, and not
quite so hide-bound with all the traditions, you come to grips with some of the
matters that some people think wrong with Freemasonry. Personally I'm
not ready to admit that there is anything wrong with Freemasonry. If there
be problems, they are problems of individuals and of people; and people and
individuals can solve those problems. We admire greatly the way that
Minnesota faces those problems and I wonder if I may just mention a couple
of things tbat I have been interested in here 0oday.
Your DeMolay Foundation; it's very close'to our heart in Ohio. Today
Brotler Chester Hodgins is

one of our Past Grand Masters, Most l4rorshipful
support DeMolay wholeheartedly. We have kept some rather accurate
records and we know that last year over a thousand former DeMolays joined
Ohio Masonry.
We can't turn our backs on a potential of that kind. We endeavor to
support DeMolay at all turns. As a matter of fact, a couple of years ago we
had voted a per capita. It's only three (3) cents per member, but three (3)
cen-[s on the 265,fi)0 members enables us [o put almost $8,fi)0 a year into the
coffers of DeMolay; but that is money and money is not what DeMolay
needs. DeMolay like Masonry, needs MEN. We talk about our youth of today

I didn't intend, Most Worshipful Sir, to get on the soapbox for DeMolay,
but I sincerely believe that that is the future of Freemasonry.
Most Worshipful Sir, Minnesota hospitality is legendary, they may joke
about the weather, but the warmth of your greeting certainly compensates. I
have visited your Grand Jurisdiction previously. I sincerely hope that I will
be permitted to visit again. I wonder if I might close with a prayer that I
heard the Grand chaplain of the Grand chapter of Royal Arch Masons close
with a year
ago.
"Hold high the torch, you did not light its glow, it was given you by other
hands, you know. I think that it started down its pathway bright, the day the
Maker said, 'let there be light', and He once said, who hung on Calvary's
tree, 'ye are the light of the world, go shine for Me' ".
Brother Masons, the world needs what Masonry has to give it. Don't hide
your light under a bushel. Go shine for Freemasonry'

Kansas where we didn't have the advantages of swimming or music, but I
rnarried a musician. She is an expert pianist. I suppose I must have a great
tleal of music inside of me, at least not much has ever come out. But in order
to compete, I did take up clarinet about six years ago, I tooted it a little you
know. when I was younger, but after 35 years I picked it up again. I went
dorvn lo New York and made a speech at Carnegie Hall; I went into a music
store. and picked up some clarinet solos, and among them was "Massa in the
<'old. cold ground". Now, those of you who are versed in music know that this
combination starts by giving merely the air. And then in the second division
ol the piece, it gives a few accelerated notes, and then in the third a little
rnore. and finally in the last section of "Massa in the cold, cold ground", you
literally go up and down the scale accentuating the tune as you go. I practiced. I perspired, and finally when I thought that I had it mastered, I went
rup to my wife. twho has been living upstairs since I started my clarinet
llracticingl, I went upstairs with my music and my clarinet, and I played,
and I perspired, and I worked, and I came to the end ofit, and I turned to this
little lady that I have been looking after for 43 years, I said: "My Dear, (that
rvas a little bribe you can see), My Dear, how did I do?" What do you supposd
that little lady said to me, who has been taking care of me for 43 years; she
rn ight have said : "Old man, you'd better be careful, it's hard on your heart",
but she didn't. Finally she said: "Well, that's pretty good considering you
haven't had any lessons, but sometimes I wish you and old "Massa" would
trade places".
I travel up and down the country a good deal and I meet a good many
people. I like to speak to the Fraternal groups because I find them to be the
kcy people in their respective communities, and I'm mighty proud of them. I
think sometimes when I consider the fact that'I do about 40 states every
vear. I travel about 100,000 miles, meet all kinds of people, in all kinds of
lrlaces; I suppose that I'm about the only man you've ever looked at that's
heen heckled in every state of the Union. I've even had a little experience
here. as Dr. Peterson, who is in our audience tonight well knows, at the
t'nion Building a few years ago at the University when they tried to bar my
:rppearance, finally we made that appearance, and had more people than if
they hadn't had all of the fuss.
I sometimes wonder about the story that they used to tell on me down at
Topeka when I was secretary to the Governor. I worked down there as the
Governor's feature speech writer and public relations man for four years.
Sometimes they would send me to meetings that weren't big enough for the
Governor to atlend, and yet they were so big they couldn't be ignored enany
tirely, and they used to say, "We'll send

I was traveling years ago in Pakistan, and they told me about the legend
of the bug. They told me how in one of the most beautiful rugs in all the
world, and one ofthe most expensive, there lived a bug who never knew that
there was anything about thatrug except tbe problems; the tufts of wool
around which he crawled to gain a crumb hOne and a crumb there. It must
have been a crumby life for the bug. But he could never see above the
problems of that rug. And yet that rug was not only the most expensive rug
that Persia had ever made, but it had a master design of infinite beauty. So I
would like to have you lift yourselves into the sky in this jet age and look
down upon the Twentieth Century and look upon these problems as real and
those that challenge. But problems which can be solved if we follow the
Master design of the fore-fathers who built America, the land of the free.
What has been man's quest for two thousand years, or seven thousand
years? The dream of man has always included peace. The dream of man has
always included enough to eat. The dream of man has always included selfgovernment, and the dream of man has always included human dignity.
Those are the quests. Universal quests of man. Now I know that you and I
are frustrated. Not long ago there was a survey made of the commencement
addresses that were given to the great universities of this land in 1970. You
know a university never asks a man to come and speak unless they find the
kind of a man who can sort of give the mood of the day, can explain and
analyze the temper of the world. And I think that no man ever goes to a great
university to give a commencement address, but what he tries to think
through and to get to those young people in the graduating class, some advice as to how they may cope with the problems of their day and generation;
and this objective scientific study came out with one conclusion.. that the
mood of America today is one of .frustration. That no one seems to know the
answer to the problems. The ministers hardly know whether or not their
ministry is worth while; the businessman is endangered by all kinds of risks,
labor contracts, profit taking, all kinds of competitive forces. fite doctor, the
professional man; frustration was the mood of the 89€, but I
submit to you the proposition that we have always had frustrating experiences in the history of man. The difference is, that in this age, the radio
and the television, and all of the media of communication tells us every 20
minutes, every 30 minutes, every 60 minutes, all around the clock, of our
problems and our frustrations, and pretty soon we're more frustrated than
we are clear headed. The result is that we develop discontents. Mr. Hubbard
said there are two kinds of discontents. There is the discontent that works at
the job and works at the problem. Then there is the discontent that merely
wrings the hands. The first discontent succeeds in solving the problem, the
wringing of the hands discontents,loses all that it once had and is ultimately
a failure. The wringing of the hands, the frustration from the wringing of the
hands, the discontent of the frustrated, does not solve America's problems.
Why are we frustrated today? We are frustrated today because there has
risen a Northern Star, a nation that seems to compete with the American
democracy. This Northern Star seems to have a team equal to our own, and
108

the result is that we have been re-acting, while the Nortlern Star has been
acting. They send a man abroad; we send a man abroad; they make a
commitment, we make a commitment; we have been re-acting when as a
matter of fact. we have the best team. While under the democracy in the

Americans willing to make the sacrifice? Are we willing to stand and endure? Are we willing to stand up and be counted? Are we willing to use the
tools in our hand for an equal civilization? Are we willing to take the instruments in our possession to do our part in our day and generation as our
forebearers were willing to do theirs? Oh, I know you'd tell me that we had
problems today, but have you ever stopped for a moment to consider that
little band of Pilgrims on the Mayflower, when you realize that they were
huddled together in the cold and they took that Mayflower compact. In front
of them was a desert; in front of them was a wilderness; in front of them
of what happens in the
were hostile Indian tribes. There were no banks, and there were
no
railroads, and there were no airplanes. There was no scientific advance and
there was no media of communication; but they had in their hand something
in that day, that we must have in ours. They had faith in their God, that
somehow He would lead them into that wilderness and help them to build a
great Nation and a great world. They didn't have much in the bank, they
didn't have much to ride on, they had no Cadillacs to enjoy, they knew
109
nothing about our influence, they knew nothing about our educational
system, they knew nothing about our affluence, but they had those
ingredients of the Pioneers who came to Minnesota. Simple honesty,
frugality, willing to sacrifice, willing to work, willing to worship God, willing
to stand for the great principles of the Declaration of Independence. That's
what they had, and that's all they had; and that is all that we need today, if
only we apply those tools to our generation.
Now there's one thing for certain, that one billion people in the world
tonight are hungry now, that is, that there are another billion of people in the
world who are fighting fat. They know about our salons, they know about our
diets, they know about our difficulties of obesity, they know that there is food
in the world, and they want some of it, and they are bound to get it and they
lre determined to get it. There are two great powers, the Communist power
and the self-government power, that are holding out various kinds of baits
and the real question arises, "which one is going to win this race for the
rninds and hearts of men?" Now my friends, we have the tools to raise all of
the food that we want. Why some of you used to shuck corn that made 30 and
know that you can go out into the corn field and raise
40 and 50 bushels now
160 bushels per acre.
Those of us who grow wheat out in western Kansas,
used to think that 15 bushels an acre was a big crop, but with the use of
l'ertilizers and crop rotation and soil protection, we can now grow 40 and 50
bushels. We have more wheat today; a billion bushels more than we can use
and eat. We have the know how to prepare the food, we have the know how
and the tools, and we're sharing that knowledge, that scientific knowledge
lhrough some 26 different governmental agencies all over the world. You go
over [o Greece and what is one of the things they tell you about over there?
They will tell you about the bulls that have been shipped over and crossed
with the Panhellenic calves and cows; they have increased the food
production and the milk production 4(X) percent. But it takes a little time for
us to teach one billion people how to farm scientifically. What I'm saying is
that America has the tools and we are sharing them. Russia itself isn't doing
very good because in their five year plan, the one plan that has failed, has
been their food production. We have the answer to tlre food problem of the
world, and there isn't any government in all the world that has our instruments of democracy.
There was a period you remember, in the days of Colonialism, and we
want tocome down and look at that Colonial period. When we were in school
we used to study of great empires, and we used to learn how Great BriCain
had gone all over the world and developed the uncivilized sections. The
Colonial period is gone, it had it's day. It built schools and it built hospitals,
and it civilized people, but that day is gone. And now in the United Nations,
we have more young nations arising than we have old, and some of them are
a little adolescent, they're a little crazy, they do things that we don't like, but
they want to govern themselves, even as we govern ourselves. Anybody who
appreciates the Constitution, anybody who appreciates the Declaration of
Independence, anybody who appreciates American Democracy knows that
we have the legal instruments for which to build a self-governing peoples,
110
and that we're sharing with all the world.

The universal quest of man for peace, the universal dream of man for
food, and universal dream of man to govern himself, and the universal
dream of man to have human dignity, can be accomplished if only we will
apply the tools that are at our disposal as American citizens, in this land of
the free and the home of the brave. Those of you who fly the jet planes, or
those of you who come from the sky, can look down upon a great section of a
state at a given time and see it all. And I was reminded of the pilot who wrote
this story. He said: "When a cloud bank is over London and when the ships of
the great flags are stacked up waiting for an opportunity to land, never has
there been a pilot who said to all of the others, 'Now, you get out of my way,
you let me land because I am an Englishman.' Never has there been a pilot
out of that cloud bank who would say, 'Get out of my way for I am a
Frenchman, I must be down first.' Never have you heard any pilot ever say'
'Because I am a member of the True Church, or of a particular church, you
shall get out of my way and let me land.' They all take their turn, knowing
that the safety of one is the safety of all."
If per chance there's some little plane, a Cessna maybe from Wichita,
Kansas, and the pilot says, "I'm out of gas", all of the planes of the great
flags will take their position and they will permit that little plane, short on
gas, to take the runway. It's something of that Brotherhood of mankind that
we find among the pilots of the sky that can help us in solving the problems of

our soils and from our hearts and from our minds, from our churches, from
our public schools, from our institutions there emerges the answer to the

Why do we have an annual meeting?
Some could say that as a corporation chartered by the State of Minnesota we are obliged to report our financial position, elect officers and vote
on resolutions offered to adapt our policies and programs to the changing
times.
Otber corporations do these things, corporate meetings, like their annual and interim reports, however, are of relatively recent vintage . . . less
than a hundred years.
Our Masonic annual meeting is, by contrast, founded on a rule of
operative Masons that is one thousand and forty-five years old - dating
back to the reign of the English King Athelstane and a conclave at York in
the year 926.
A further contrast between Masonic and some business corporate
meetings is seen in the disruption of annual meetings of some business
corporations where officers and directors . . . yes, even shareholders are
assaulted by dissidents who demand immediate change in various areas.
116
General Motors is ordered to discontinue its large-scale contributions to
education and charity, Honeywell is told to stop manufacturing products for
defense, Dow Chemical to stop making napalm, Ford to get out of South
Africa. Call the roll of industry . . . and you have the objects of attack by
dissenters who seek shareholder votes . . . but actually prefer television
cameras.
If these protests and requests were orderly and without violence and
terror to people, the problems would be more manageable, the wrongs that
these dissidents allege . . . that they claim to correct, could be subjects for
orderly . . . even if glacially slow progress.
But, despairing of their alleged rational power to make the establishment meet their terms, many turn to the terror of the bomb, in an ageold
device of revolution. These acts are not a passing fancy of a few idealistic
and misguided youth. They are symptoms of a deeper and more fa0al
It is obvious. It is a huge and
cancerous mass - a tumor on the body politic infecting all of society as
subtly as poison. But it is indiscriminate and cruel as the bomb which is its
weapon.
disease. This disease can be diagnosed swiftly.
This disease is the dernand for rights without responsibility'
Have we as citizens in a land of freedom - and as Masons - any
obligation to search for a solution and to take active parts in accelerating
practical projects? I think we have.
Fortunately, in contrast to the challenge to business and corporation
annual meetings, these disruptions have not plagued our Grand Lodge an-

meeting of Masons
-
The year was 926, the place . . . York in northeastern England. The occasion . . . a conclave of operative Masons. No TV filmed it, no wire service
sped the news to a waiting world.
Those proceedings were transmitted like the great epic poems of Homer
and Virgil, the Edda and Beowulf, from man to man, from generation to
generation, from master of the Craft to master for
450
lr?
years.
Then, a lonely scholar sat in an English monastery in a cell with quill
and brush to inscribe the minutes of that long-past event on parchment-in
middle English
the year was 1390. Little did that man dream
- not Latin,
thatwe here in St. Paul
in a land he would never have even dreamed of
would read his words.

Significant, too, is tlre admonition . . .
"All the men of the Craft had to be there."
Is it possible that our Masonic stature would be higher and our message
more effective . . . and our defects fewer, if all our Minnesota Brothers were
here this morning as these ancient charges require?
Perhaps we should soberly discuss this matter of attendance at our
Annual Communicatiorl and Area Conferences when we return to our own
Lodges. It could be very salutary for Masons.
Let's now look at annual meetings where we and business have close
similarities . . . both review financial conditions. As we examine our Grand
Lodge financial position, have we carefully and properly evaluated the
report of the special financial committee which indicated a grave need for
larger dues support for Grand Lodge activities. In one sense, a thousand
years of Masonic effort culminate, focus
- if you will - in the vote here
today. We can not, I believe, we will not abdicate our financial respon-
sibility.
Now thatwe have briefly reviewed the origin and charges of our Annual
Communication and some comparisons and contrasts with annual meetings
in the business world of our century
and some potential challenges and

May I say that it has not been the monuments or the materials of our

respected and a living presence in every age?
Even in the wintry cold of a shack at Valley Forge - even in a snowdrift

Finally may we consider the purposes and projects of tomorrow in the

seed for our future.
It
is
what Masons did . . . that gave our Fraternity great stature.
It is what we of this generation will do in personal commitment to
socially significant action tlrat will maintain tlat stature . . . if we have lost
members, is it perhaps because we were lacking in boldness and faith to do
for our time.
what was needful
-
During this past year, working with Most Worshipful Grand Master Don
Barnes, there has been great encouragement in a sense of freshness, a
fulness of heart, much vigor and a vibrancy of spirit among Masons in Area
Conferences we attended. A new confidence was there.
The slogan Brother Don gave us-"Masomy by Example"ltas seized
the imagination of scores of young men who can now buttress the work of
long-term Masons.
What can have awakened such a new spirit?
Our neighbors . . . in fact our country and some nations abroad hold
Minnesota Masons in high regard because of the splendid work that built our
Masonic Memorial Hospital at University of Minnesota with our gifts of
more than 2 million dollars. Important advances in the war against cancer
occur there. Some patients have been returned to their homes . . . and have
shown no evidence of cancer during the past ten years - after discharge
from treatment at our Masonic Memorial. Our commitment there continues.
A second area of social action has been our Masonic Public School
Scholarship -Program. We've helped deserving high school seniors to begin
their advanced-education for a trade or a profession. Such have been excellent investments in support of education for young people.
Support, too, for the system of free public schools which were being
attacked when we began the scholarship program years ago . . . as they are
being attacked today by demands for public money to bail out private
schools. Our public schools can
- and should be the public place of education
in all our communities. Here, we must act as individual citizens of Minnesota whose constitution we respect.
A third area of action was our program of talks on helping juvenile

The Grand Master announced the closing of the ballot box at 10:80 A.M.
and asked the Tellers to begin their canvass.
Most Worshipful Brother Reuben J. Bloedau, Grand Master of North
Dakota brought greetings from his Grand Jurisdiction at this time.
Remarks of Reuben J. Bloedau. G.M. North Dakota
Most Worshipful Grand Master and my Brothers:
I bring you greetings from the Grand Lodge of North Dakota and from
all of the Masons of North Dakota. I wish to compliment you upon the
wonderful record that you have made in Minnesota, particularly upon the
terrific Communication which is being conducted here. It will long remain a
gem within our memory. We don't know how to thank you and I speak on
behalf of all the visitors from North Dakota, for your unparalleled
hospitality and kindnesses.
We're impressed with the slogan, "Masonry by Example". And every
Mason of the United States is aware of the fact that in so many ways Minnesota sets an example for all of us. During my year I have tried to emphasize a similar theme of the importance, rather the essential necessity of
Freemasonry, for a continuation of our way of life and freedom.
There's no room in my soul, or in my spirit, for defeatism or pessimism.
We should be thoroughly aware of the fact that never before in the history of
the world has mankind held within its hands such a fund of power and of
knowledge as right at this moment. And this increases at such a pace that

a greater and ever greater
panorama, not of danger and of crisis, but of challenge and opportunity.
each day the door opens before us upon
So I only wish to conclude by saying that we are so happy that we're able
to participate here with you. This will be one of our treasured memories in
our storehouse of cherished memories. And that we are sure and hope, and
are confident, that there will be an increase in our mutual feeling of.concern
and our continuing affection for one and another. fitank you.
Past Grand Master, Most Worshipful Brother George R. Wilson,
Chairman of the Committee on Jurisprudence presented the committee
report, and moved its acceptance. So ordered.
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON JURISPRUDENCE
To the M.W. Grand Lodge, A.F. & A.M. of Minnesota:
The members of your Committee on Jurisprudence to whom were
referred those portions of the Grand Master's address relating to decisions,
dispensations, opinions and amendments to constituent todge by-laws have
carefully considered all such matters. It is our opinion that in all cases the
Grand Master has acted in a wise and firm manner. We bave found no errors
and have no criticism to offer.
The Grand Master has had to refuse, in several instances, requests for
the awarding of Fifty Year Emblems to Brothers who had not yet completed
their fifty years as members of the Fraternity. Your attention is drawn to
last year's Resolution No. 2 which amended the first paragraph of Standing
Resolution, Section 4.12 of the 1967 Code to read as follows:
"Any Master Mason, a member of a Blue Indge in Minnesota, who
fifty (50) years or more of Masonic membership, shall be
entitled to receive from the Grand Lodge a Fifty (50) Year Emblem of such
has completed
design as may be approved by
it, evidencing said fifty (50) years of mem-
bership."
You will note that the recipient of the Fifty Year Emblem must have
completed fifty years of membership.
Most Worshipful Grand Master, by your decisions, dispensations and
rulings, you have exhibited a thorough knowledge of the laws, rules and
regulations of Masonry in this Grand Jurisdiction. Your strict adherence
and devotion to your duties and obligations have indeed exemplified your
slogan of "Masonry by Example". We thank you most sincerely for the
guidance and service that you have rendered to the Masons of Minnesota.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON CODE REVIEW
Tothe M.W. Grand Lodge, A.F. & A.M. of Minnesota:
This Committee reviewed, then prepared forprinting for inclusion in the
Masonic Code of Minnesota 196? all legislation approved during the 1970
Annual Communication. Howeve.r, the Board of Corporate Trustees
thereafter voted to withhold the actual printing thereof so as to accomplish
and include in one printing such additional legislation as may be approved
during this 19?1 Annual Communication.
As a consequence, your Committee functioned without expense to this
Grand Lodge during the fiscal year now ending. However, your Committee
suggests and requests an appropriation in the sum of $1500.0, or as much
thereof as may be needed, to cover the cost of printing, not just one, but two
years of legislation for inclusion in the Masonic Code of Minnesota 1967.

REPORT OF TIIE HISTORICAL AND ARCHIVAL COMMITTEE
To the M.W.
Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Minnesota:
The amendment adopted
at the
Annual Communication
in
1970
established the Historical and Archival Committee and provided for a
"revolving committee of three (3) to serve three (3) year terms", and that
"the committee shall compile all documents, records, books, reports,
correspondence and papers concerning the history of the Grand Lodge of
Minnesota, so that a properly documented history may be maintained" and
that "the committee shall direct the disposition of all excessive data".
Insofar as the last provision is concerned, all excess records, annual
proceedings, obsolete and surplus supplies, etc. have been destroyed or sold
for salvage.
The other provision entails far more work than the committee can accomplish in the space of one year, especially since one member of the
committee tendered his resignation to the Grand Master in October, 1970,
and another member of the committee is the Grand Secretary who is already
occupied in a full time position.
Also, the relocation of the Grand Lodge office and library will undoubtedly become a reality by the fall of 1972 for the reason that the present
Masonic Temple will be acquired by the St. Paul Housing Authority for the
realigning of streets and roadways in this area by the City of St. Paul, at
which time the committee will undoubtedly find it necessary to reestablish
the library, etc. in a new location.
Furthermore, the last history of the Grand lodge was published at the
time of the Centennial Celebration in 1953, a lapse of eighteen years, and
consequently considerable research is necessary to bring a proper history
up-to-date, and that it should be updated in the event that a celebration is
scheduled for the 125th anniversary in 1978.
It is accordingly recommended that a qualified historian be appointed at
least on a part time basis and that a sufficient sum be set up by the Committee on Appropriations for this purpose.

WHEREAS, it is believed that a Two Dollar ($2.00) increase in Per

REPORT OF INVESTMENT COMMITTEE
To the Most
Worshipful Granil Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Minnesota:
Your Committee on Investments has met, and after careful deliberation
recommends that, as a general principle, the Board of Corporate Trustees
should consider investing, during the present calendar year, some Grand
Lodge funds in common stocks of those companies that are well recognized
as being very stable and having a consistently good earnings record, We feel
that those bonds maturing in the near future (within the next 6 to 8 months)
should be used to purchase the stocks. We also recommend, as a guide for
the immediate future, notover S0percentof the monies in a fund be invested
in common stocks.
For the present, we recommend as follows for each fund:
First: Ttre Reserve Fund was established by Regulations of Grand
Lodge and considered as a building fund should a building be deemed
prudent and necessary at some future date. Your Committee recommends
that, because the present Grand Lodge office is likely not to be available in
the near future, monies in this fund should be kept quite readily available
and perhaps should continue to be invested in short term bonds. When a
decision
is made concerning our
needs
for funds for building
requirements, the Board may wish to consider
a change
space
in this program.
Second: The Benevolent Fund was established by Grand l,odge as a
for benevolent and charitable purposes, particularly including
catastrophies. The investment in common stocks should be made after
giving careful consideration to the obligation based on dollar calls relating to
the needs for Pensions, Fraternal Assistance at Rochester, Masonic Service
Association annual dues, Masonic Relief Association of the United States
annual contribution and Scholarships.
reserve
Third: The General Fund contains the working capital of Grand
Lodge and should be readily available for current operations. We therefore
recommend that these funds not be considered for investment in common
stocks.
We thank you
for this opportunity to serve our Grand Lodge.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC RELATIONS
Major effort of the Public Relations Committee tllis past year has been
to expand the reach of publicity on Masonic activities at the Grand tndge
level, as well as to encourage individual Lodges tlroughout the state to
continue their efforts to publicize their individual programs and activities.
Major objective of this program, as it has been in the past few years, is to
make Masons as well as the general public aware of Masonic activites.
Two major meetings of the committee were held as joint meetings with
Scholarship committee--one in the Spring of t9?1 and the other in the Fall of
1970. In addition, a number of other informal meetings of the committee
were held to implement the public relations program.

Lodge ScholarsbiP Program.
161
There are 274 Masonic Lodges and 4?6 public high schools in Minnesota.
Five scholarship application forms were sent to each public high school on
October lst, and requests for 65 additional forms were received later and
mailed to 35 of these schools. From the 2380 forms sent to schools, 149
completed applications were returned to the Grand Lodge for evaluation; 57
were from boys and 92 were from girls. Local screening committees limited
the number of applications sent to the Grand Lodge to one boy and one girl
from each school, in most instances. Several schools, however, sent in more
than one application for boys or for girls where the local screening committee did not wish to make the choice. In these instances, separate en-
dorsements accompanied each completed application.
The eight man committee is convinced that future growth of the
Scholarship Program will be highly dependent upon assistance and
promotion from each Lodge for the public schools served in each respective
locale.
Effective goals and the right relationships must be promoted at the local
level in order to achieve a high percentage ofparticipation.
Discussions have been held relative to the Grand Lodge establishing a
foundation through which organizational and private donors will be able to
initiate memorial and named scholarships for the program. Grand Lodge
Officers. members of the Public Relations Committee and members of t}te
Scholarship Committee have been involved in the study this past year. It is
believed that the foundation, if established, should be incorporated as a nonprofit organization in order to provide full tax exemption rights for donors
and potential donors. A proposal will be presented for Grand Lodge consideration and action.
The Scholarship Committee proposal for next year suggests a $1'0fi).00
committee operating budget and $2,500.00 award monies: the latter to be
divided into two $500.00 scholarships and six $250.00 scholarships. Award
monies received from organizational and private donors can then be added
as named single or combination seholarships for awards of $250.00 or more.

To 0he Minnesota Masonic Home Corporation:
To the Grand Lodge A.F. & A.M. of Minnesota:
Brethren:
On July 3, 1920, the Masons of Minnesota, with love in their hearts,
dedicated the Minnesota Masonic Home. fire occasion was highlighted by an
appropriate ceremony which was attended by a large group of Masons and
Ladies of the Eastern Star. Fifty years later, on a sunny Sunday in August,
we marked the Golden Anniversary of an action that lrs seen approxima0ely
l5?5 worthy and eligible men and women admitted to the Home through the
sponsorship of Masonic Lodges or Eastern Star Chapters. Ttuly, this is a
living example of Love in Action.
As President of the Board of l}ustees, it is my pleasure as well as
responsibility to present a report to you on the activity of the Masonic Home
for tbe year ended December 31, 1970.
Residents
On January 1, 19?0 there were 239 residents in the Minnesota Masonic
Home and Care Center. At the close of the year there were 238. the entire
Masonic Home and Care Center complex is licensed for a total of 406 beds.
This is broken down as follows:

The Care Center, this year, ministered to a daily average case load of
We continue to care for the patient admitted more than three years ago
with the prognosis of "terminal cancer". This case has been mentioned in
three former reports, so, I won't go into the details again. However, I do feel
that you would be interested in knowing that , in addition to serving the needs
incidental to the aging process, we also serve patients with epilepsy,
Parkinson's disease, strokes, fractured hips and numerous other types of
disabilities. This could not be done without the Care Center and its dedica0ed
staff . Certainly the Masons of Minnesota can well be proud of what they have
accomplished by this expansion of our care services.
Miss Marie Jarshaw, R.N., who is also a registered Hospital Administrator, is in charge of the Care Center. She and her staff of nurses have
done a tremendous job in providing superlative care for those admitted to
this facility. Our Superintendent, W.B. Norval W. Hodgson, who also is a
Hospital Administra0or, plays a most important part in seeing that
everything possible is done for the comfort of our Care Center patients.
Dr. Virgil Lundquist is the physician responsible for diagnosing the
various ills of all residents residing in the Masonic Home and Care Center,
and prescribing a course of treatment. His office is in the Care Center
building and he has regular hours when he can be seen by residents of the
Main Lodge who may have need of his services. Dr. Lundquist is a highly
competent surgeon who is very popular with our residents and we are very
happy to have him as our Medical Director.
We have an Occupational firerapy department in the Care Center. Mrs.
Rebecca Osmundson, O.T., is in charge and she works with patients from the
Care Center as well as residents of the Main Lodge. Many interesting items
are produced in ceramics and are for sale at the Care Center. You are invited to drop in and browse around this department anytime you visit the
Masonic Home. I am sure you will be impressed with the variety of objects
produced and the quality of workmanship.
We also have a Physical Therapy department and Dr. John Dawson,
Physiatrist, prescribes treatment for those requiring this service. I have
166
known Dr. Dawson for a number of years and am confident that he is one of
the best Physical Medicine Doctors in the United States. We are fortunate,
indeed, to have his services for the Care Center. To carry out Dr. Dawson's
prescriptions, we have a full time Physical Therapist, Mrs. Monica Anderson, P.T., and an assistant. This staff works wonders with those who have
suffered strokes, fractures of their extremities, or illness requiring this type
of professional care.
In addition to all this, we have a fully equipped Pharmacy tltat is open
five davs a week. Mr. Arthur Johnson, who is a Registered Pharmacist, is in
chargeio fill all prescriptions for drugs and medicines.
Special Gifts
A complete listing of the special gifts given the Masonic Home during

expect this trend to continue, your Board of Trustees of t}te Minnesota
Masonic Home sincerely hopes that the Brethren of the Constituentlodges in
Minnesota will act favorably on the resolution to increase the per capita
dues.
At the same time, we strongly recommend the establishing of a per'
manent Grand Lodge Committee on Wills & Bequests. fite sooner we reach
the situation where we are more adequately funded, the better it will be for
everyone concerned. In this age of spiraling costs, such an objective is a
prime necessitY.
One Hundred
Dollar Club
This Club was conceived to increase our endowment fund. It was introduced and described at last year's Corporation meeting by Worshipful
Brother Edwin A. Martini. Gifts to this worthy project are tax deductible,
and, as of December 31, 19?0, this fund has grown to the sum of $29'467.0. We
are very pleasetl with the interest shown this project and take this opportunity to again thank those who have become members and, thus, have
ient their encouragement to us. (For those present interested in obtaining
more detailed information about this project, we have this handsome
brochure available)

Masonic Home Chapel
Again we are delighted to express our very deep appreciation to Rev.
Edwin E. Knudsen who serves us full time as Chaplain at tlte Home. He
resides at the Home, has an office there, and is available at all times to
residents and members of their family who desire to counsel with him. He
also acts in the cipacity of recreational director, counselor, and makes
visitations at city hospitals to both residents and employees of the Home. In
addition to this, be is available to tlrose who are patients in the Care Center
and is frequently called in the night hours to sit with someone who is acutely
ill and desires the comfort of his counsel. His is a most valuable service and
we are very fortunate to have him as a member of our team.
Order of Eastern Star
The O.E.S., through its Worthy Grand matron, Mrs. Virginia Schroeder,
its Associate Grand Matron, Mrs. Viola McDonald and Mrs. Betty Roop,
Chairman of the Patriotic and Masonic Home Committee, has contributed
immeasureably to the comfort and entertainment of our Home resident
population. The volunteer group of the O.E.S., under the capablejirection of
Mrs. Frances Kuchenbecker serves the Care Center patients five days a
week. They are now in the fourth year of this service and we don't know how
we could get along witlrout them and the Candy-stripers who assist them.
Thefdo so much to bring a more home-like atmosphere into the Care Center.
This year the O.E.S. used funds they had contributed during the year of

Entertainment
Blue Lodges, the Grand Chapter O.E.S., Shrine groups and subordinate
chapters as well as groups not associated with the fraternities have served
the Home with many types of entertainment during the year. Both Osman
168
and Zuhrah Shrine Temples have entertained our residents at the Shrine
Circus.And Zuhrah Temple, through its units, has been most generous with
their entertainment on many occasions and particularly during our 50th
anniversary celebration. The Masonic Home Committee of the O.E.S. under
the guidance of Mrs. Betty Roop, Chairman, has given parties, teas and
other entertainment for tlte residents and patients of the Home.

Fiftieth Anniversary Observance
Our Fiftieth Anniversary Observance was written up in the July and
-september issues of the Minnesota Mason. Our Grand Chaplain, Rev.
Donald Schmidt, was the principal speaker. IIis message, "A Story of Ttue
Love in Action", was one of those rare gems we are priviledged to hear so
infrequently. We intend to reprint it and have it available to hand out as a
beautiful source of information about Masonry and the Masonic Home.
In this report, I again thank Rev. Schmidt, as well as the many others
and organizations that contributed so much to make this observance the
success
it
was.
Tlustees
Trustees whose terms expire with this Annual Communication of
the Grand Lodge are:
P.G.M. Einar W. Johnson,
Brother Palmer N. Hegvold, and
W. Bro. John R. Hendrickson, Sr.
169
all from the Grand Lodge, and,
P.W.G.M. Delphine Schneider
from the corporation.
Brother Palmer N. Hegvold is not eligible for re+lection having served
the designated period of 12 years time as stated in our By-laws. Brother
Hegvold also served the Home as its President for two years and, in all ways,
has been a valued and esteemed member of the Board of Trustees. His
friendly presence, his sage advice and willingness always to help will sorely
be missed by the remaining Trustees. We take satisfaction, however, in
knowing Palmer will continue to work as hard for Masonry in the field as he
did as a member of the Masonic Home Board. And, we wish him, and Mrs.
Hegvold, the happiness they so richly deserve following a job well done.
Conclusion
On behalf of the Board of Tlustees, I wish to express our sincere appreciation to the Most Worshipful Grand Master, Donald L. Barnes, for his
interest in the activities of the Masonic Home and for his regular attendance
at our Board meetings which are beld montbly. We had several "extra
curricular" events during the year and our Grand Master, at some inconvenience to himself, made himself available to add to tlte success of the
occasion.
Many of our meetings this year were attended by our Deputy Grand
Master, William W. Widstrand, who would drive down from Hibbing to be
with us. We appreciate his dedication and interest also, and tlrank him,
sincerely, for his contributions to our meetings.
It is impossible, of course, to thank everyone who made the year of 1970 a
memorable one for me. All the members of the Board of Trustees were most
cooperative and carried out their responsibilities in an efficient manner. I
cannot say enough for our Superintendent, W.B. Norval W. Hodgson who was
most patient with me as I tried to perform my duties as President. We had a
lot of extra meetings this year but Norv never once complained. (at least to
me) He was always ready and willing to help and I say that he is a "Jewel".
He's a good man to have around.
Finally, as we start our 51st year of service, I would like to conclude this
report by quoting from the remarks of our Grand Chaplain, Rev. Donald
Schmidt, given at our Fiftieth Anniversary celebration of the Minnesota
Masonic Home
.
"Today is one ofchallenge. The challenge to continue to
exemplify in action as well as word what we so firmly
proclaim-Love of God expressed in love of our fellowman.
You just can't have the first without doing something
about the second. In the Minnesota Masonic Home for 50
years we have been doing just that-Let the years
which are to come be all that the years which are past
have been-and. more.
Let every passing year add its new dimension to that basic tenet of
our fellowship.
Love which loves without expecting to receive in return.
Love which moves from lecture to life.
Love which is more than a word.
Love which is love in action."
Yours, Sincerely and Ftaternally,

The program for each Conference was identical. Several of the Grand
Lodge Line Officers moderated the meetings. Special emphasis was placed
on Lodge program development. It was our feeling that this particular area
merited consideration. Other topics of Masonic interest were included in the
morning and afternoon program. Our special thanks to all who participated.
Our Grand Master, M.W.B. Donald L. Bames, closed each Conference with
an inspiring Masonic message.
The Area Conference Committee urges the continuance of tbis program
with a recommended appropriation of $3,000.00 for the coming year. The
committee further urges that all correspondence on Area Conferences be

MASONIC MEMORIAL HOSPITAL FUND, INC.
REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT
How the Hospital Was Built
Imbued with a sense of compassion for men, women and children suffering from cancer, Masons of Minnesota made voluntary personal gifts
totalling $2,100,000 to pay the full cost of building Masonic Memorial Hospital
in the Medical Center at the University of Minnesota.
t72
The first Masonic personal contributions, made in 1955'58, yielded
to pay for the two-floor, 80 bed hospital dedicated on October 5,
1958. In a second successful effort in 196346 Masons donated $1,100,000 to
g1,000,000
double the size of the hospital which now accommodates 120 patients on
three floors and research laboratories and personnel on the fourth floor.
In both campaigns, ladies of the Order of the Eastern Star worked
on
projects which pioduced significant amounts of money. Job's Daughters and
other Masonic groups aided in the efforts.
The Masonic Memorlal Hospital is operated by and as a part of
University Hospitals. Patients are admitted by referral of their physician
under the usual regular admission policies of the University'
During its first 14 years, Masonic Memorial Hospital has served more
than 12,000 patients with 272,000 patient days of care. The average length of
stay has dropped from 27.1 days to 11.9 days, evidence of the advances in
medical, surgical and scientific skills, and in drug therapy.
Advances such as these have made possible rehabilitation of the patient
so his situation can be managed on an ambulatory basis by his own
physician, or as an out-patient in a clinic.
Of note to Minnesota Masons is the increase in research work being done
at Masonic Memorial Hospital since January, 1970, when the Directors of
our Masonic Memorial Hospital Fund, Inc., established the
Masonic
professorship in cancer, and to which Dr. B. J. Kennedy was designated as
that Masonic Professor of cancer. The Professorship, amounting to $25,0fi)
per year, is being financed by the income from gifts and memorials which
are 6eing sent in to our Masonic Fund office, primarily by Masons and their
friends.
One excerpt from the first annual report of Dr' Kennedy as our
professor of cancer follows. It was cited in The Minnesota Daily of october
22,Ig7o,in an article headlined "New Medical Division Studies Tumors."
"What,began only as therapies for symptoms of cancer 25 years ago
have turned into controls for cancer; and actual cures for cancer may come
in the future. Until recently medical specialists have focused their skills on
individual parts of the body. But cancer doesn't specialize . . . other medical
schools are now using the University of Minnesota as a model, because at the
, 3S
present time most schools don't recognize oncology,
rial
i specialty. The Masons of Minnesota established
for
Cancer Hospital at the University in 1958 and have h
cancer research."
Working Against Cancer
Today, hope for conquest of cancer is strong. It is a living presence at
Masonic Memorial.
Basic research in hundreds of laboratories such as those at Masonic
Memorial has illuminated the way to dramatic victories in this conquest.
Already, many patients at Masonic Memorial discharged more than five
years ago are "free of disease." lhey exhibit no evidence of their cancer,
even during thorough, periodic examinations. This successful control of
cancer thus
far
attained makes the word "CURE"
A TRULY
REAL
POSSIBILITY.
Encouraged by 14 years of treatment and research, directors of Masonic
Memorial Hospital Fund, Inc., non-profit arm of the Grand Lodge of Ancient
Free and Accepted Masons of Minnesota, ask your interest and further
support for the nationally-recognized programs of this unique hospital built
by Masons for all people without regard to creed or color.
Fundamental to patient care is the long-term work of basic research in
l9 wellequipped laboratories. At these frontiers of knowledge, insatiable
minds constantly probe ever more deeply into the mysterious structure of
cancers.
With knowledge and with tools of science designed to penetrate into
formerly invisible recesses of life processes, doctors at Masonic Memorial
apply treatment prescribed for each individual patient. Patient care of the
highest quality is the first and major consideration. Buttressing the work of
specialists at Masonic Memorial itself are all the apparatus and scientific
skills of the entire University of Minnesota staff in health sciences.
Unique, too, is the teaching function at this hospital. Medical students,
interns and cancer specialists who will be practicing

multiplied greatly the number of doctors in commu

suspect that they have, or actually do have, cancer.

A new generation of nurse specialists is also coming from this hospital.
At Masonic, nurses are not rotated from one ward to another, from one
sickness to another as are most nurses in many general hospitals. Rather,

and superbly knowledgable staff of scientists, physicians, surgeons, nurses'

against cancer.
The newest facility, an index of growth, is the Masonic Clinic for outpatients; and newest equipment requirements include electron microscopes
ind a blood cell separator for treatment and study 9f leukemia.
Hope does shine brightly at Masonic Memorial where a modest slogan is
"We ARE doing something about cancer." Your gift can keep that hope
bright and validate that slogan.

By your contributions you, too, can reach out and touch the hand of a
patient at Masonic Memorial Hospital.
How You Can Help Today
Gifts from Masons and friends of the Hospital are most welcome. Money
is used to help carry on the research work which it is hoped will soon unlock
the mysteries of the dread disease and aid in providing for patient care and
comfort.
A gift to share in the work at the Hospital is a wonderful way to honor the
memory of a loved one. A bequest in one,s will is a most effective way to put
money to work where money is needed.

Masonic Memorial Hospital Fund, Inc.:
We have examined the statement of cash receipts and disbursements of
the Masonic Memorial Hospital Fund, Inc. for the year ended February 28,
19?1. Our examination was made in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards and accordingly included such 0ests of tlte accounti4g
records and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in
the circumstances. As to contributions it was not practicable because of
