NECROLOGY
M:W: Brother N. Harris McClamroch, P.G.M. conducted the Necrology Service. He mentioned some of the outstanding Masons, who had passed away and not
forgotten. M. L. Mads Christensen, Edwin L. Waldron, William Holloway, Sid
Bowman, Joe Pisciotta, Charles O. Cook, and M. L. Cameron. Brother McClamroch gave the opening prayer, and the songs "Going Home" and "Sweet Hour
of Prayer" were sung by Brother Mike Mooney.
W: Brother A. Ray McLaurin, Grand Chaplain, gave a prayer, and Brother
Mike Mooney sang "How Great Thou Art". The 19 D.D.G.M.'s each presented a
red rose on the altar in memory of the departed brethren. Widows of departed
brethren of this past year and other years were invited to stand, and a red rose was
presented in memory of their husbands and all Masons who departed to our Grand
Master, Brother Bradley. Taps were played by Brother Clarence Shaddock.
The following necrology report was delivered by M:W: Brother N. Harris McClamroch, Jr.:
Most Worshipful Grand Master, dear friends and families, and my brothers: It is
the custom of this Grand Lodge as its first order of business to consecrate an hour of
remembrance, worship, and thanksgiving in memory of those of our brothers who
have entered the divine Holy of Holies during this past year. This past year we lost
approximately 1000 masons through death. Every one of them was important. None
was unimportant to us. Many were outstanding in ways unknown to us. Masonry
does not attempt to evaluate masons or men in general. Our Grand Lodge was
spared loss in its Grand Family and Grand Officers this year. We did loose many
outstanding masons, however, the following being an example:
M.L. (Mads) Christiansen
E.L. Waldron
Wm.B. Holloway
Sid Bowman
Joe Pisciotta
M.L. (Hookey) Cameron
Charles O. Cook
In honoring them we also remembered those of our number of past years, long
gone but not forgotten. Now unseen by us their influence and love still remain to remind us of our belief in the immortality of the soul and its eternal infinite worth. We
are nevertheless human and our grief is real. But inevitably and triumphantly the
keynote of our thinking this morning is praise, worship, and thanksgiving. Let us
worship our Creator in the beauty of holiness and ascribe unto Him all Glory and
Thanksgiving.
The Lord is in His Holy Temple, let all the earth keep silence before him.
Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms.
Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth those who fear him.
As one whom his own mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and you shall be
comforted, says the Lord.
He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most high, shall abide under the shadow
of the Almighty.
11
Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, that in due time He
shall exalt you. Cast all your anxieties on Him, for He cares for you.
The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.
God is our refuge and our strength, a very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear.
0 give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His steadfast love endures forever.
Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord from henceforth, says the spirit.
But the steadfast love of the Lord, is from everlasting to everlasting upon those who
fear Him, and His righteousness to children's children.
Cast your burden on the Lord, and He will sustain you.
1 have called you by name, you are mine. When you pass through the waters I will be
with you, and through the rivers they shall not overwhelm you, when you walk
through the fires you shall not be burned and the flame shall not consume you,
for I am the Lord your God, the Holy one of Israel, your Savior.
Dear friends, we remember our departed brothers. We remember them with
gratitude in the circles of family, and in the family of faith, as devoted husband and
father, as brother, as friend and neighbor to many persons of all ages, as a brother
and colleague and lodge member of uncommon loyalty and commitment. We
remember them as men in whose lives there was much to admire, and whose death
has brought us sorrow and heartbreak. We remember them as servants and sons of
God whose lives graced this state and enriched each of our lives. We gather to affirm
our common faith and hope and love in our God, Whose victory over death and evil
is certain, and this victory we now claim in time of loss and grief. "A precious thing
in the Lord's sight is the death of those who die faithful to Him". Let us hear the
Prophet
Issiah:
But you, Israel, my servant,
Jacob whom I have chosen,
The offspring of Abraham, my friend;
I have taken you up,
Have fetched you from the far ends of the earth and summoned you from its
farthest corners,
I have called you my servant, have chosen you and not cast you off,
Fear nothing for I am with you,
Be not afraid for I am your God,
I strengthen you, I help you, I support you with my victorious right hand.
Almighty God, creator of heaven and earth, however strong our faith and confidence and trust in thee, in time of death we nevertheless are as children who cry out
in the night for comfort. So it is that in this time we worship together, openly to confess our faith that whether we live or die we are your children.
We are your children, who in life know of your care and affection for us
through thy providence within our many relationships. Your gifts that deepen life
and open to us the glory and mystery of human love and human relationships are
manifest in our ability to rejoice and to weep, to worship and to work, to be both
grateful and gracious, in the faltering steps of a child, in the strong love of parent, in
the compassionate touch of a loved one, in the memorable smiles and human
12
warmth of friends. O Lord God, we give thanks that your eternal presence is
magnified to us even in our finitude and suffering. We ask not that you would take
away our grief, for in truth we know that to love deeply is to grieve deeply for our
loved ones. Rather we ask that through the fellowship of Thy Holy Spirit, our bonds
of community may be restored and strengthened, our present and future burdens be
shared and endured, our hope and faith be anchored in love, to the Glory and
Honor of your precious name. (Raps 1 to seat).
I remind you that the memorial service in the Masonic community is not for the
dead, but for the living. In seasons of sorrow, death and grief, the people of God
gather together to hear the Great Light, to find within it comfort in sorrow, courage
in face of death, strength to sustain us in grief, and hope that reminds us that the
future belongs to God. This is the good news to which the scriptures summons us in
times such as this; that life in all its seasons from birth to death is held in the hands
of Him who is Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last,
the one from whom we come and to whom we go.
Almighty God who is the father of all mercies, the God of all comfort has given
us the gift and grace of prayer; He supplies us the Spirit in abundant measure to help
us in our praying; He has given us in His comforting Work the encouragement to
pray always with thanksgiving: As a gathered Grand Lodge united in faith, hope,
and love, we therefore bring now our sacrifice of praise and adoration, ascribing unto Hime all Honor and blessing, praise, and thanksgiving. We praise Him in Whose
hands are our times, in whom is our life. We give thanks now for His strong love
which along has given us what strength we have. We thank Him for His grace which
has wrought whatever meaning is in our lives. We praise Him for His patience which
has borne with our failures and our little faith. We praise Him for His providential
care which has always surpassed by far our needs, and for His unending thought of
us, in which we find our ground of being. God's mercies are from everlasting to
everlasting. We confess that our days are brief and fleeting. Upon our human love
we build our lives and they come to an end. But God remains, with whom there is no
passing away, whose faithfulness endures from before creation and beyond resurrection, who is able eternally, presently, and surely to keep that which we have committed to him against that day when we shall walk through the valley of the shadow of
death. In offering gratitude we thank God in all simplicity for the lives and persons
of those whom he did call from all eternity to be his own and whom he has now
gathered into his eternal presence. We think of them in thanksgiving for reasons
numerous and personal. But we thank God especially that they are his, that in them
he did give us the glad companionship of an honest and authentic man, who was also
a child of God; whose character and modesty, spirit and gratitude adorned and
touched the lives of others for good. We are grateful for the faith, the spirit and the
confidence they maintained with such constancy that it gave clear, compelling, encouraging witness to all who saw and were affected by it. We remember and give
thanks for their love for their families, for the marriages they cherished and the
homes they established wherein they were nurtured in love and by example, wherein
they were taught and shown God's claims, wherein they knew themselves surrounded by the strong security of unbroken affection. We give thanks for the tender and
devoted husband, always concerned to give himself to those he loved best. We give
13
thanks for the gentle, patient, wise father always ready to listen, to teach, to encourage, to advise, and to trust his children. And we give thanks for his love for his
family and his love through his family. We remember and give thanks for their faith
in and devotion to there masonry. We praise God for His grace which kindled in
them love for courage and conviction to live and die as a man. In thy providence, O
God, these kind masons graced our community and blessed many a life, wherefor we
praise thee, O God, from whom all blessings flow. How wonderfully great Thou art.
And now, O God, we offer ourselves to thee to whom life links us at every turn. We
rest our grief in the compassion, our hopes in Thy promises, our fears in thy
faithfulness, our pain in Thy tender mercy, our lives and the lives of those we love in
thy steadfast love that never lets us go. We believe and rejoice that when we die we
die unto thee, our lives gathered into Thy heart, into thy presence, into Thy peace,
and our very selves upheld by Thy righteous, omnipotent hand, and cradled in Thy
everlasting embrace. In life or death, therefore, we are in Thy hands and we are glad
that Thou art Lord in both life and death.
Eternal God, Father of all mercy, Lord of all mystery, if in the presence of
death our thoughts are startled and our words seem incapable of expressing or sorting out or soothing our grief, bring us we pray to a deep and abiding confidence
even as we acknowledge the sorrow of our hearts. Give us the grace to wait upon
you, silently, and with patience. You are nearer to us than we know, nearer than we
think. If we cannot find you it is because we search in far places. Before we felt the
pain you suffered it; before the burden came upon us you lifted it; before sorrow
darkened our hearts you took our grief to yourself; You walk in the valley of every
shadow; you are with us and for us as our strength, our confidence, our hope.
Though the pain deepens keep us in your care and in your way, and sustain us to endure and grow with every danger.
And now, O Lord, support us all the day long, until the shadow lengthen and
the evening comes, and busy world is hushed, and fever of life is over, and our work
is done. Then in Thy mercy grant us a safe lodging, and holy rest and peace at the
last, for Thy Holy Names sakes, Amen.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE G R A N D LODGE
Address of Grand Master
To the Officers, Delegates and Members of the Grand Lodge of Louisiana Free and
Accepted Masons:
It is with pleasure that I welcome each of you to this 176th Communication of the
Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Louisiana, Free and Accepted Masons with
Fraternal greetings and a fervent wish for a harmonious and productive Communication.
As this Masonic Year comes to an end, and my term as Grand Master of Masons is
concluded, the time has come to reflect on the accomplishments, failures and
mistakes of the past year; to learn from them, and go on to greater accomplishments. This year has been, and forever shall remain, the highlight of my Masonic
career. It has been my pleasure to serve the Craft of Louisiana to the best of my
ability. I only hope that in some small way I have added to the well being of our
Order, and our Fraternity is a little better off because of my efforts. You are a Grand
Craft and deserve nothing less than the very best. I assure you that any mistakes I
may have made were made with the purest intent in mind of what I thought was in
the best interest of Masonry.
It is also with pleasure that we welcome our out of state guests and wish for them
a pleasant stay as they enjoy ourSouthern Hospitality. I havevisited several of your
Grand Lodge Communications this past year and have very pleasant memories of
each of them. It is my fervent hope that your memories of your visit to our Grand
Lodge Communication will be equally pleasant. Please let us know if we can assist
you in any way during your stay.
To the most important ones at any Grand Lodge Communication, the Delegates
and Members composing the Grand Jurisdiction, we welcome each of you to your
Grand Lodge. We are assured by the past performances of your interest and
dedication to our Fraternity that your actions and decisions at this Grand Communication will be well thought through and decided in a manner that will be a
credit to the Craft and a benefit to the Fraternity. I feel sure that peace and harmony
will prevail during this Grand Communication and Masonry in Louisiana, because
of our actions, will thus be enhanced.
As any Past Master knows, while serving as Master of the Lodge we depend
heavily upon the advice and counsel of the Past Masters of our respective Lodge.
So it is also the case with the Grand Lodge, and we are pleased that so many of the
Past Grand Masters are with us at this Communication. May your reflections on this
Grand Lodge Communication at its conclusion be favorable and your approval of
its actions be forthcoming.
It has been a rewarding pleasure this year working with the elected line Officers.
Your interest, dedication, and co-operation is unsurpassed and your assistance
and wise counsel has been a real aid to me, for which each of you have my grateful
appreciation.
One of the most difficult tasks confronting any Grand Master about to assume
office is the selection of the Appointed Grand Lodge Officers that will serve during
his term from the many qualified members of this Grand Lodge. It is also important
that they fulfill the tasks expected by the Grand Craft in an enthusiastic manner and
by their attendance at the various Masonic functions. Well, I could ask no more of
the officers selected to serve this year than they have delivered. Their presence
during the year were observed at numerous Masonic functions. Their support for
this Grand Lodge has been exemplary. You have performed your duty well. I
29
congratulate you on a job well done, and you have my deepest gratitude for accepting the challenge of your respective office. May the blessings of Heaven smile
graciously upon you.
To the many Committeemen who have so aptly performed the duties assigned to
them this year, I thank you for your efforts, dedication, and loyalty to the Grand
Lodge and Masonry. It would be impossible to have accomplished what, I feel, we
have done this year without your untiring help. I have called on many of you several
times this year for some extra chores, and every time you have come through with
positive results. Thank each of you for agreeing to assist me this year, and may God
continue to bless each of you.
To Most Worshipful Robert L. Kleinpeter, Past Grand Master and Chairman of the
Masonic Law & Jurisprudence Committee, an extra word of thanks for the many
times that you assisted me. You have always been ready to guide me when I called
for your assistance. Thank you "Buck", thank you for your time and knowledge.
NECROLOGY
The Supreme Architect of the Universe has seen fit to leave our Grand Lodge
Line intact for the past year. However, many Brethren throughout our Grand Jurisdiction have gone to their Reward during the year. Included in this number was
Worshipful Brother Edwin L. Waldron, a member of the Permanent Committee on
Work, and Worshipful Brother William E. Holloway, a member of the Masonic
Education Committee.
We mourn the passing of these Brethren and all the Brethren of our Jurisdiction
and offer our sincere sympathy to the families and close friends of these Brethren.
Appropriate memorial services will be conducted by the Necrology Committee for
all our departed Brethren.
STATE OF THE ORDER
I have great confidence in the future of Freemasonry jn Louisiana. In my visits
about the State, I have found good work being done, splendid fellowship among
the Brethren and good cooperation among all bodies of our Masonic Order.
The open meetings that we have attended, and those reported to us, have been
meetings with high attendance and with excellent fellowship.
The reports on the degree work show a continued improvement in the quality of
work. Many Lodges report an increase in the number of young men taking the
degrees. This should help supply the need for leadership for the future.
We would encourage all Worshipful Masters to review the activities of their
Lodge and make a special effort to revive the interest of those who have been
negligent in their support.

DISTRICT DEPUTY GRAND MASTERS
The duties of a District Deputy Grand Master are numerous and extremely
weighty. They require a total commitment to the task of keeping the Lodges in their
Districts informed of the Grand Lodge programs, of events occurring and to assist
in areas where problems may arise. I n most Districts you can take pride in a job well
done. The attendance at District Meetings this year appearto be well attended and
the meetings were well organized. It is because of your effort and dedication to
you r duties that this has happened. You have my deepest appreciation and thanks
forthe effort you have made on behalf of your Grand Lodge. May your reward be the
happy memories of your faithful service.
DISTRICT GRAND LECTURERS
This has been the second year for the District Grand Lecturers. The program got
off to a good start last year and the momentum has continued to improve the work
in all of our Lodges. Through the cooperation of the District Deputy Grand Masters
and the Certificate Lecturers more Lodge officers are doing a better job in opening
their Lodges and I am sure that the degree work has improved. Continued interest
has been shown in earning Certificates of Proficiency. 47 new certificates have
been issued this year and 705 have been renewed, giving us a total of 752 Masons
holding Certificates. We are grateful for the cooperation and support for this
program.
MASONIC HOME FOR CHILDREN
The Grand Master's Homecoming was held on Sunday, May 18, 1986 at the
Masonic Home for Children. The fellowship was great and a very inspiring program
was presented by the children from the home. Brother Rody Taylor, Master of J.C.
Stewart Lodge #460, brought a very inspiring message. The Brethren and
members of the appendent bodies lined up to make their donations to the home.
My thanks to R.W. Eugene Love, Grand Junior Warden, and Brother Clarence
Filipi, Co-Chairmen, and membersof theircommitteefortheiroutstandingeffortto
make the day such a success.
The Order of Eastern Star held its Annual Pilgrimage to the Masonic Home on
September 21,1986. We are grateful to the Eastern Star for their support of the
home. This year, under the leadership of Sue Cromwell, Worthy Grand Matron, the
Eastern Star contributed over $15,000 to the home.
For the love and guidance to these children in the home we are grateful to
Brother Harold Moye, Superintendent, and the members of his staff.

MASONIC HOME EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION
The Masonic Home Educational Foundation is supported by freewill contributions and the money used comes from the interest which this fund earns. Due to
the lower interest rates, some of the additional requests had to be denied. This
committee, serving under the chairman W. Brother Milton Schiltz, have served our
Fraternity well.
The Annual Report of the Board of Directors will be published in full.
MASONIC HOME ENDOWMENT FUND
It has been the goal to build the Masonic Home Endowment Fund so it will be self
supporting. A letter was mailed to each member of our jurisdiction to solicit funds
for this cause. The Chairman, Most Worshipful Brother E.R. Minchew, P.G.M., will
file a full report on this program.
MASONIC EDUCATION
WecongratulateW.BrotherThomas Wilson, Chairman of the Masonic Education
Committee for anotheryear of service tothe Masonic Fraternity. We aregrateful for
his service in the promotion of Masonic Education among the membership. We are
grateful for his efforts in helping to promote the transition to the District Grand
Lecturer Program. Also for his cooperation with the members of the York Rite
College in the Grand Master's Seminarthat was held in Baton Rouge on August 23,
1986.
The Achievement Awards will again be distributed to the District Deputy Grand
Masters for their distribution to their District.
HIGH SCHOOL AWARDS PROGRAM
I believe that the best program that the Grand Lodge has ever promoted is the
High School Awards Program. It has brought more good publicity to the Masonic
Fraternity than any other that I know of any where. We owe it to the communities to
recognize the deserving young people that earn such recognition.
The number of presentations for this year appear to be the largest number that
has been presented. Many of the Districts have reported 100% participation of the
Lodges.
We encourage any Lodge that is not involved to give this serious consideration.
Thank you W. Brother D.L. Aldridge and W. Brother Malcolm A. Ballard for CoChairing this important Committee.
MASONIC TEMPLE BUILDING
The Masonic Temple building is about is about 75% rented. Our building manager, W. Brother Bowdre McDowell and his personnel have done a very good job in
keeping the building clean and presentable.
R.W. Brother Eugene A. Wagner, Jr., G.S.W., has served as chairman of the
Executive Committee and has done a wonderful job of keeping the Board of
Directors informed of the affairs of the building.
The Executive Committee and Building Manager are to be commended for their
good work.
Acomplete report of the Board of Directors will be included in the Annual Report.
43
MASONIC AWARENESS DAY
On September 20, 1986 we observed a Masonic Awareness Day in Guinn
Auditorium on the Campus of Louisiana College in Pineville. The Lodges and
Appendent bodies provided a lot of interesting material for display which attracted
much attention. Most of this was on display at the Masonic Temple in Alexandria.
Our thanks go out to W. Brother W.A. Morris and his committee for the fine work
that was done to make the day such a success. Also to Most Worshipful Thomas
Dougherty, P.G.M., New Jersey for his fine address. The presentation of the picture
by W. Brother Henson Moore added to the activities.
GRAND MASTERS CONFERENCE OF NORTH AMERICA
The Grand Masters Conference of North America was held in Arlington, Virginia
on February 16-19,1986. This conference is of great benefit to Masonry in that it
allows us to share our problems and success with our Brothers in other Grand
Jurisdictions. In many cases our problems are similar and we can compare our
approaches or solutions to them. The Conference also furnishes an opportunity to
socialize with our Brethren and promote Communication among us.
Our trip to the George Washington Masonic Memorial on Shooter's Hill in
Arlington was very inspirational, and certainly makes one proud to be a Mason.
Over all this is a very useful Conference, and a great tool in promoting unity among
Masons. We encourage our line Officers to attend.
REMEDIAL ACTIONS
May 22, 1986
I expelled Grover J. Combest as he did renounce
Masonry.
June 5, 1986
I suspended Sam M. Lofaso, member'of Justice Lodge
No. 449 for violation of the Digest of Edicts of the Handbook entitled insubordination to the Grand Master.
July 12, 1986
I suspended Oscar A. Chandler, in view of his failure to
comply with my directive in conversation, and because of
communications received by me and purportedly written
by him.
April 15, 1986
Whereas, on the petition for the degrees in Masonry the applicant must give the
name of three reference and he must be recommended by two members and
investigated by three members of the Lodge receiving the petition.
Whereas, some Lodges are using the same members in more than one place on the
petition.
Therefore I, Clifford A. Bradley, Grand Master, issue the following edict.
EDICT
On the Petition for the Degrees in Masonry the name of a member of the Lodge
shall not be used in more than one place.
Clifford A. Bradley
44
THE SOUTHEASTERN MASONIC CONFERENCE
The Grand Lodge of Louisiana served as host for the Southeastern Masonic
Conference which was held in New Orleans on July 31 through August 2,1986. It
was a very pleasant and hard working session. Each of the eight member jurisdictions presented a paper on a Masonic topic at the Conference. All papers
presented were very well presented and were informative. I feel this is a necessary
Conference and will continue to improve Masonry.
STATUE OF LIBERTY
We have closed out the account for the State of Liberty. The total of $32,450.00
was sent for this program.
We thank the Masons of Louisiana for their donations to this cause.
LOUISIANA FREEMASON
Most Worshipful Ray W. Burgess, P.G.M. and Chairman of the Committee to
publish the Louisiana Freemason, has done a remarkable job this year with the
publication of four issues of the Louisiana Freemason.
Through these publications we have contact with each Mason that is a member
of a Lodge in our Grand Jurisdiction. I feel that each of you are proud of this
publication and look forward to reading about the news and activities that it
carries.
CONCLUSION
As I conclude the accounting of my stewardship of this year as your Grand
Master, I will always be indebted to you my Brethren for this great honor. It has
been a busy year but the reward has been great.
I know that I have made mistakes but perhaps ones that might be overlooked. I
have endeavored to do my best and I pray that the record of my year will reflect
this.
To the Office Employees I say thank you. Thank you for the time and effort you
spent in helping me at the time I needed you. Your help and assistance to me, when
calied upon, will never be forgotten.
Forthose who have traveled with me for so many miles and those who made extra
effort to be present at meetings, please accept my thanks and especially to my wife
Clotilde. Your patience and understanding can not be surpassed.
Soon a new Grand Master will be elected and to him and his officers I offer my full
support.
Again I say thank you, thank you, thank you.
Fraternally yours,
Clifford A. Bradley

REPORT OF THE 6RAND TREASURER
TO THE OFFICERS AND MEMBERS OF THE MOST WORSHIPFUL GRAND LODGE
OF THE STATE OF LOUISIANA, F. & A.M.: Brethren:
It has been a distinct and high honor for me to serve you as
the Grand Treasurer during the year 1986.
On the pages that follow you will find many items of interest
which have been prepared by our bookkeeper/accountant. The Grand
Lodge books have been audited by the appointed Certified Public
Accountants, and the report will be published in the Annual Grand
Lodge Proceedings. In the opinion of the Accounting Firm, the
financial statements present fairly the financial position of the
Grand Lodge at December 31, 1986.
The end of the fiscal year and the annual audit of the Grand
Lodge books is a very difficult and trying time of the year for
our bookkeeper/accountant.
John W. Giardina, P.M., who assumed the
position when David A. Walsdorf, P.M. resigned, has performed his
duties in an excellent manner. I thank him for his diligent effort
in behalf of the Grand Lodge. In addition, -I thank Brother Walsdorf
for his assistance during the transition period and his wise counsel
is always appreciated.
Interest rates paid on Grand Lodge investments continue to decline.
This, of course, has a direct impact on total income and must be taken
into consideration when preparing future budgets.
I recommend that the Grand Treasurer's Report be received and
ordered printed in the Annual Grand Lodge Proceedings.
Sincerely and fraternally,
{
James M. Walley,
v—-^Grand Treasurer

COMMISSION CARDS AND CERTIFICATES
Commission cards and certificates are authorized to be issued to all elected and
appointed officers as well as committeemen and holders of proficiency certificates, indicating their election or appointment as such. This was done in the early
part of the year.
TWENTY-FIVE AND FIFTY YEAR CERTIFICATES
The Grand Lodge is authorized to issue twenty-five and fifty year membership
certificates to all members in good standing in Lodges of ourjurisdiction when they
have attained twenty-five or fifty years accumulative, but not necessarily continuous good standing in the Masonic Fraternity. No such certificate will be predated
to permit premature presentation. These certificates are prepared by the Grand
Lodge Office, based on the computer run, which we receive and issue to the
various Lodges. The past year we prepared 110 fifty year certificates and 808
twenty-five year certificates.
CENTENNIAL PLAQUES
There were no centennial plaques issued this year.
TAXES
FORM 990 - ANNUAL INFORMATION RETURN
All Lodges are reminded that the Grand Lodge of the State of Louisiana, F. & A. M.
and its constituent Lodges are exempt from the payment of income tax. However,
under the provisions of the tax reform act of 1969, Lodges are now required to file
annual information return Form No. 990, "Return of Organization Exempt from
Income Tax". Since the enactment of the tax reform act of 1969, the IRS now
considers this transition period to be over, and the penalties for failure to file Form
990 on the required due dates, which is May 15,1987 is $10.00 per day for each
day the report is late up to a maximum of $5,000.00. Lodges with gross receipts of
less than $25,000.00 may simply state on the face of Form No. 990; Gross
Receipts Tax includes all income from every source, including dues, degree fees,
rents, royalities, interest, dividends, donation, and building fund contribution. The
May 15th due date is for Lodges using calendar year accounting periods, that is
January 1 st through December 31 st inclusive. All of our Lodges in this state use
this period. The IRS does not automatically mail forms to the Lodges. It is the
responsibility for the Lodges to secure form and prepare and send it. Generally,
after one Form No. 990 is filed, a form is automatically mailed to the Lodge each
year. Returns should be mailed to the Internal Revenue Service, Austin, Texas
73301. Our Lodges are exempt from tax under Section 501 (C) (10) of the internal
Revenue Code.
In addition to the above, the G.E.N. or Group Exemption Number of the Grand
Lodge is 0144 and should be shown on any of the Form 990's completed by the
Lodge.
The original group exemption Letter was dated October 5,1940.
EMPLOYMENT TAXES
55
Exemption from income tax does not relieve the Lodge from liability for Social
Security Taxes or other applicable employment taxes.
Smaller Lodges who employ a Secretary or any other employee in a part time
capacity and who either remit his dues and/or pay him a token salary, would not
generally be liable for employment taxes, unless such salary is $50 or more in a
calendar quarter.
Larger Lodges employing a Secretary or any other employee at a larger salary,
are liable for Social Security on his wages. Such taxes should be forwarded to the
Internal Revenue Service each Quarter on Form 941. Federal and State Unemployment Taxes must also be paid.
You are reminded that Social Security taxes are7.15 percent. In addition, federal
unemployment tax is .8 percent and State Unemployment tax rate should be
furnished by the State Office.
STATE AND LOCAL SALES TAX
Lodges are not exempt from payment of State and Local Sales Tax on their
purchases. Lodges do not collect any taxes or make any reports concerning sales
tax, however, exemption from income tax does not apply to sales tax.
HANDBOOK OF MASONIC LAW
The revisions for 1985 were published as approved. Each Constituent Lodge
and Grand Lodge officers received a copy and many individuals has purchased
same. They are available from our Masonic Service Committee for $1.25, plus
postage.
MASONIC DIRECTORY
The annual Masonic Directory was published and will continue to be published in
the future. It contains the list of Lodges in various arrangements for reference
purposes. It also contains the names, addresses, and phone numbers of Masters
and Secretaries, plus meeting nights and locations; and the Committee and
Boards of the Grand Lodge. One copy isfurnished initially to Lodges and additional
copies may be purchased for $2.50 plus postage.
The Lodge Secretary and Worshipful Master should review the line entry for his
own Lodge and be assured we have printed it correctly. Remember this information comes from your Officers Sheets which you submit at the beginning of the
year.
DATA PROCESSING
American Bank has agreed to continue our Data Processing for a short time.
Close cooperation between this office and the new operations supervisor of Data
Processing has resulted in up-dates with fewer errors than in the past.
56
Address changes continue to be one of our biggest problems. Each Lodge
Secretary should report an address change as quickly as possible.
We receive many callsf rom irate widows who receive mail many months afterthe
demise of their husbands. Understandably, this is very unpleasant for them.
Secretaries, please report any death date as quickly as you can.
The coding of monthly reports and the delays in sending in the same by the
Secretaries continues to be one of the heaviest workloads for our office. It is
essential that Lodge officers take an interest in seeing that these reports are
submitted on time so that we can correct the machine produced rosters sent to
each Lodge in January of each year.
Lists of suspensions and expulsions are sent to each District Lodge and other
Masonic Bodies for their information.
In order for dues cards to show P.M., Sr., Jr., or III in the proper place, it is
necessary for each Secretary to go through his roster and make the corrections on
a "Correction or Change of Name" form. When this is done, the dues cards will
contain all the correct information.
Because of the ever increasing dependence on data processing in our day-today operations, I recommend that serious consideration be given to the Grand
Lodge leasing or purchasing its own computer system.
APPRECIATION
To the Grand Lodge office staff, Mrs. Anna Bel Kelley, Office Manager, Mrs.
Marian Rosenzweig, Mrs. Mary Crouch, and John Giardina, Accountant, I wish to
express my deep appreciation forthe cooperation they have given me this year and
for their dedication to this office. I also extend my thanks to each committeeman
and officer of the Grand Lodge for their cooperation and assistance during the
year. I am deeply indebted to each of you for the many courtesies that have been
extended to me.
CONCLUSION
All accounts have been audited by the firm of Pepperman, Emboulas, Schwartz
and Todaro, Certified Public Accounts and report will be made available.
To the Lodge Secretaries I offer my heartfelt thanks. Your cooperation and
unselfish devotion to our Craft makes my job easier.
To all the Brethren my thanks for the sacred trust which you have shown in me by
electing me to this off ice. It is one of interest, challenge, and responsibility, and one
which I regard highly, and with great respect and humility.
Fraternally submitted,
Jack Crouch,
Grand Secretary

M:W: Brother D. Allen Long, P.G.M. Secretary, Grand Lodge Hall Board, presented his
report. He stated that the members of the Board and Executive Committee were dedicated and
were doing it economically as they possibly can. He referred to previous Board minutes mailed out, and stated the Board was trying to build up the R.O.I, account and instead of taking
money out of that account for repairs, it was taken out of the regular account for profits.
Taxes and insurance have been increased. 67% of the building is rented. There is no firm bid
for purchase of the Temple. We do have two prospects and hope that one of those will be
favorable.
He recommends that each Lodge read the Hall Board minutes when they are received. He
moved that his report be received. He moved that his report be received and printed in the Proceedings. This was approved.

S e c r e t a r y to Board
Lewis JT Faciane,
Grand Master
Grand Master Bradley introduced M:W: Brother Jack Kelly, Grand Master of Texas, who
spoke to the delegation. He stated that the Texas Masons are deeply proud that they are the
offspring, or grandsons of the great Grand Lodge of Louisiana. On January 27,1836,151 years
ago, a charter was granted to Holland Lodge No. 36, named in honor of our Grand Master,
John H. Holland. On July 29,1837, our Grand Master, Lewis H. Feraud, granted dispensations
for Milan Lodge No. 40, Nacogdoches, Texas and McFarland Lodge No. 41 at St. Augustine,
later to become Ragland No. 3. Those three Lodges formed the basis for the establishment of
the Grand Lodge of Texas. They paid $76.00 for those Charters. In December 1837, those three
Lodges met to form the Grand Lodge in the Republic of Texas. He also stated he has the
privilege of serving as Grand Master for the Sesquicentennial year in the Grand Lodge of the
Republic of Texas in celebration of their 150th birthday. It was with deep pride that he came,
and thanked the Grand Lodge of Louisiana for their support. He then presented Brother
Bradley and Brother Faciane a coin and pin of the Sesquicentennial of the Grand Lodge of
Texas. He said this pin was already being worn by 20,000 Texas Masons and by the end of the
year 50 to 75 thousand brethren will be wearing that pin. He thanked the Grand Master for the
courtesies and the hospitality shown to him and his wife and hopes to come back to our Grand
Lodge for many years to come.
59
M:W: Brother Howard M. Sigler, P.G.M., Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Masonic
Home for Children, referred to his report as printed in the Advance Report. He stated that
Brother Harold Moye, Superintendent of the Home, and his staff are doing an excellent job.
There are 36 children in the Home, and one application being considered. The Board of
Trustees is in the process of revising the application for admission to the Home as the old
form was put together when conditions were different then they are now. He recommended
approval of his report. The report was approved.
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF
THE MASONIC HOME FOR CHILDREN
TO THE GRAND MASTER AND BRETHREN:
On the pages that follow you will find many items of interest compiled by our bookkeper,
superintendent, and office staff of the Masonic Home. Our Books have been audited by
Certified Public Accountants and the report will be published in the Annual Grand Lodge
Proceedings.
The Grand Master's Homecoming the Eastern Star Pilgrimage and the Grand Master's Christmas
Party were all well attended and each was a great success.
I would like to again call your attention to the fact that we could accommodate a number
of additional children with very little increase in over-head expenses. If any of you know
of any children who might be in need of our services, please contact a member of the Board
of Trustees or Superintendent Harold W. Moye at the Masonic Home.
We appreciate your continued interest and support of the Home.

GRAND
LODGE
Our Children's Home has thirty-six residents ranging in age four to nineteen as of
December 1, 1986. The twenty-two boys and fourteen girls attend local school and are
involved in numerous school and church activities. Our oldest is attending her second
year of college while our youngest is too young to attend school. The staff are striving to care for the physical, emotional, spiritual and educational needs of our children.
The Masons along with the Order of the Eastern Star who incidently provided the greater
amount to purchase a new van have through their gifts, visits and kindness helped the
spirit of the staff as well as that of our children.

from the Home, and will attend Louisiana College. They have less money to disburse as the interest rate has gone down. The books are audited by C.P.A.'s and that report is printed in the
Proceedings. He moved the adoption of his report, which was approved.
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE
MASONIC HOME EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION, INC.
TO THE GRAND MASTER AND BRETHREN:
The Educational Foundation has experienced another good year. We have been able to help
a number of students to attend college who would have otherwise found it very difficult
to attend. We have also continued to pay the expenses of all those from the Home who
are attending college or other forms of vocational training.
We have continued to invest all memorials and contributions to the Foundation and use
only the interest income from these investments for scholarship purposes.
Our books have been audited by certified public accountants and their report will be
published in the annual proceedings of the Grand Lodge.
We appreciate your continued interest and support for the Foundation.

FIRST DAY — AFTERNOON SESSION
The Grand Lodge was called to labor at 1:00 P.M.
The Grand Marshal escorted M:W: Brother Robert L. Keinpeter, P.G.M.
and W: Brother Malcolm A. Ballard, Grand Photographer, West of the Altar.
Our Grand Master expressed his appreciation to them for the outstanding
work they had done. He presented Brother Kleinpeter with a certificate of
appreciation. Grand Master Bradley explained how much time Brother
Ballard spent in preparation for Grand Lodge Session, starting after Grand
Lodge Session, and he too was presented with a certificate of appreciation. Brother Kleinpeter responded and stated working for Masonry is a
labor of love, they appreciated the award and would put it in a prominent
place where it could be admired by them, and thanked him.
Brother Jack Crouch, Grand Secretary, referred to the Foreign Correspondence report, as printed in the Advance Report on page 60. The
chairman recommended that we recognize the Grand Lodge of Mato
Grosso, Brazil, to be in communication with our Grand Lodge. We have
another request from the Grand Lodge of Haiti, it was recommended that
we do not accord recognition this time. He recommended that we accept
this report and recognize the Grand Lodge of Mato Grosso. This was approved.
FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE COMMITTEE
In accordance with general regulations of our Grand Lodge, the following is fraternally submitted.
Upon reviewing some of the many proceedings from sister Grand
Lodges, it must be agreed that we generally are all experiencing similar
problems, the most serious being a loss of membership for one reason or
another.
Just after our last Grand Lodge Session we received a request for
recognition from the Grand Lodge of Mato Grosso in Brazil. Upon checking
with Masonic Service Assn. and the Commission on Information for
Recognition it is evident that most Lodges in the United States recognize
this Grand Lodge and it is the recommendation of this Committee that the
Grand Lodge of Mato Grosso be recognized by our Grand Lodge.
On July 22,1986, a letter from the Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of
Haiti requested recognition by establishing "relationships between our
two Obediences." It seems warranted that this request be put on hold until
further investigation and consideration may be completed.
Respectfully submitted,
Thomas R. Balderas, D.C.
Chairman

W: Brother D. Vernon Dupree, P.M., Chairman, State of the Order Committee, referred to
his report as printed in the Advance Report on page 74. He stated his committee tries to be
fair, impartial, factual, clear and that is quite a job to touch on everything we deem significant
in the Grand Master's Report. He urged the brethren to read the Grand Master's Report in its
entirety and touched on certain items which were significant. He moved adoption of his
report. This was approved.
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE
STATE OF THE ORDER
The committee on the State of the Order has reviewed the 17 sections of the Grand Master's
address which were referred to this committee by the committee on Distribution and Analysis,
and makes the following report.
In his opening remarks our Grand Master welcomed each one to the 176th Communication of the
Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Louisiana, Free and Accepted Masons. He reflected on accomplishments during the year while acknowledging some failures and mistakes, and expressed hope that
any failures and mistakes may serve to assist future Grand Masters and strengthen the Craft for
stronger Masonry in Louisiana. He extended a special welcome to out-of-State guests, several
of whom are from States in which our Grand Master visited Grand Lodge Communications this past
year. He remarked that Delegates and Members from Louisiana Constituent Lodges are the most
important ones attending this Grand Lodge Communication, and also acknowledged the valued advice and counsel of Past Grand Masters. He expressed pleasure in working with line officers,
and voiced gratitude to all committeemen for their dedication and performance of assigned
duties. He added a special thanks to Most Worshipful Robert L. Kleinpeter, P.G.M., and Chairman of the Masonic Law and Jurisprudence Committee for his assistance.
Our Grand Master expressed confidence in the future of Freemasonry in Louisiana, citing
good work, splendid fellowship among brethren, cooperation among all bodies of the Order, good
attendance at open meetings, and improvement in degree work. He encouraged all Worshipful
Masters to make special efforts to revive interest among members who have been neglectful in
their support.
Our Grand Master devoted 185 days to Masonic visits and activities last year, with two
or more activities on each of 12 days. He devoted 78 days to visiting constituent Lodges;
25 days in Grand Lodge Communications and conferences in 9 other Stated; and from one to 10
days in visits to York Rite Bodies; O.E.S.; Scottish Rite meetings; Grand Lodge Hall Board
meetings; District meetings; Masonic Home for Children; and other Masonic and related activities.
Our Grand Master officiated at the laying of 6 cornerstones or tablets, dedicated 3 Lodges
and one other building; constituted one Lodge consolidated Gibsland Lodge No. 304 with Arcadia
Lodge No. 126. He praised District Deputy Grand Masters for their dedication to duties, and
particularly for their efforts resulting in good attendance in Masonic District meetings.which
were well organized.
Favorable reports were given by our Grand Master on conditions at the Masonic Home for
Children; Masonic Home Educational Foundation; and the Masonic Home Endowment Fund, and he
expressed gratltutde to Masons in Louisiana for their generous support toward these Masonic
Home activities.
Our Grand Master advised that about 75% of the Masonic Temple Building is rented and he
thanked the building manager and his personnel, and the chairman of the Executive Committee
for a job well done in keeping the building clean and presentable, and in keeping the Board
of Directors informed of the affairs of the Building.
A Masonic Awareness Day was held September 20, 1986 at Louisiana College, Pineville, with
interesting materials for display which attracted much attention. M:W: Thomas Dougherty,
P.G.M., New Jersey, addressed the occasion. W: Brother W.A. Morris and his committee were
lauded for their fine work in making this occasion an outstanding success.
Our Grand Master reported that the account for the Statue of Liberty was closed, and he
thanked Masons of Louisiana for donations totalling $32,450.00 to this project.
He reports that Most Worshipful Ray W.Burgess, P.G.M., and Chairman of the committee to
publish the Louisiana Freemason has done a remarkable job in keeping Masons of the State informed on Masonic activities.
From the foregoing analysis, this Committee is of the opinion that our Grand Master has
renedered a satisfactory accounting of his stewardship in 1986, and that Masonry has continued
to progress in certain areas which were of concern in recent past years.

The Grand Marshal presented Brother Edward Kausch, Grand
Representative from the Grand Lodge of New York, to the Grand Lodge of
Louisiana. Our Grand Master apologized for overlooking him in the morning and welcomed him to Louisiana with his wife and daughter. A hearty
welcome was given to Brother Kausch, and he was escorted to the East.
Brother Crouch, Grand Secretary, referred to the report of the Work
and Returns of Lodges as printed in the Advance Report on page 77. He
stated that there will be final corrections on it. He moved that it be accepted with the corrections for printing in the Proceedings. This was approved.
REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON WORK AND
RETURNS OF LODGES 1986
Your committee submits for consideration the following report:
A careful examination has been made of the returns of the 286 Lodges
for the year 1986. These returns appear to be accurate with the exception of
a few minor adjustments.
Gibsland Lodge No. 304 consolidated with Arcadia Lodge No. 126 on
August 1, 1986.
No dispensations were granted in 1986, therefore, there will be no
Lodges to grant a charter for 1987.
The committee appreciates and thanks the Grand Lodge Staff for their
splendid help and assistance in compiling this report.
Albert Pike Selph, P.M., Chairman
Walter G. Allee, Jr., P.M.
Ricardo G. Vita, P.M.

M:W: Brother Jesse C. Branham, Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of South Carolina, extended greetings from his Grand Lodge and its 71,000 Masons. He reported that peace and harmony is prevailing in his grand jurisdiction. His term of office lasts two years. His Grand Lodge
will celebrate its 250th Anniversary on April 21-24. He spoke about past and present leaders for
the Grand Lodge and stated that the three ships that is so important today are leadership, friendship and fellowship. He thanked the Grand Lodge for the hospitality shown to him and his wife.
W: Brother Thomas A. Wilson, P.M., Chairman, Masonic Education Committee, stated we
have qualified 146 for the Achievement Awards. He told the Worshipful Masters he had permission from the Grand Master to give each Lodge one copy of the new Lodge Education Officers
Manual. They are to be used in conjunction with the 4 booklets sold by the Masonic Service Committee. They are the Preparation, Your Search for Masonic Light, Entered Apprentice Degree,
Fellow Craft and Master Mason Degree. He felt that if these were used, there would be a stop in
the loss of Entered Apprentices that comes to your Lodge who takes degree, and never see him
again. He moved that his amended report be accepted. His report was approved.

W: Brother Emanuel Russell, Jr., P.M., referred to his report on page
62 in the Advance Report for the Committee on Burial Places of Past Grand
Masters. He added that the people who cleaned the graves are to be thanked. His report was approved.
Our Grand Master commended Brother Russell for a job well done.
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON BURIAL PLACES OF
PAST GRAND MASTERS
During this past year we have endeavored to locate the two missing graves and to
date we have been unable to locate them. However, we shall continue our search.
I wish to express my sincere thanks to each of the Committeemen, and those who
were not members of this Committee, who went out of their way to assist in cleaning
the graves this year. The pictures they have sent after the cleaning have been just
wonderful. Some of these graves have not been attended to in 25 or 30 years, what a
difference it has made to those passing through.

W: Brother Irl Ferguson, P.M., Chairman, Permanent Committee on
Work, referred to his report as printed in the Advance Report and recommended that it be accepted and printed in the Proceedings. His report was
approved.
REPORT OF THE PERMANENT COMMITTEE ON WORK
Our Committee has been able to attain most of our projected goals only because of
a harmonious spirit of cooperation which has prevailed among our members, our District
Grand Lecturers, Our Certificate Lecturers, our District Lodge Officers and our Certificate Associations.
Workshops are now being sponsored regularly throughout this Jurisdiction either by
Certificate Associations or District Lodges, or both, for the purpose of exemplifying
portions of our esoteric ritual. Through these Workshops we believe much progress has
been made toward reaching uniformity in our floor mechanics.
Our Members and District Grand Lecturers have begun to keep a closer tab on renewal
dates, thus preventing unnecessary lapses in certifications. Our Certificate Lecturers
have begun to assume greater responsibility in teaching the esoteric work to interested
Brethren in the Lodges; and our new certifications reflect this effort. New highs
reached this year are as follows:
Brethren certified-712. New Certifications-54, Gold Certificate Holders-240.
In four very productive meetings this year our Committee has been able to reach
agreement on several phases of the floor mechanics and has made appropriate recommendations for adoptions of these procedures.
Respectfully submitted,
Irl A. Ferguson", P.M., Chairman

R:W: Brother Jack Crouch, G.S., President of the Masonic Educational
Foundation, Inc., referred to his report as printed in the Advance Report,
which contains the list of students who received a grant this past year and
the financial report. He recommended that his report be accepted and
printed in the Proceedings. This was approved.
MASONIC EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION, INC.
The Masonic Educational Foundation, Inc. had a very good year in 1986 by assisting
44 young men and women attending colleges or universities this year. However, we had
many requests, that, due to lack of funds, we were unable to grant. Also, the number
of grants we were giving have started decreasing due to the decling interest rates. We
should be able to maintain approximately 28 grants per year.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the other members of the Board and
Mrs. Marian Rosenweig for her help this past year and especially the Grand Lodge Accountant,
W: Brother John Giardina, for his help.

R:W: Carl W. Stenberg, Jr., Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania spoke. He
was delighted to be present and brought greetings from the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania. He
thanked the Grand Master for the kind invitation and complimented him on the good food and
fellowship, which showed real southern hospitality.
He remarked about the 1986 Grand Master's Conference and said it was one of the most
important conference held in many years. At this conference approved the formation of a National Masonic Foundation for the prevention of drug and alcohol abuse among children. He
referred to statistics printed in newspapers and how we are about to lose a generation. The
Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania was asked to do a pilot program, which they had started in 1984.
They made their recommendations to the Grand Masters that they would get involved in
prevention and education and not treatment. They have 15 programs going at the present
time, which range from very simple things, bearing the cost of the preparation of the movie
which is used for family meetings and instruction for adolescents being admitted to a treatment center. Also for psychiatrists to work with children growing up in the homes of
alcoholics. They have provided educational materials for centers across the State in treatment business. Their biggest program is with the Department of Education for Pennsylvania
and the Department of Health where they make facilities at the campus available. He sincerely hoped that at the 1987 Conference of Grand Masters, that all of the Grand Masters will
agree to becoming charter members of the Foundation. There will also be a meeting for the
Grand Secretaries to bring them up-to-date on what is going on.
He hoped that Grand Lodges will take action to show that Masons do care about children
and someday say, "Our Grand Lodge took the action to save the youth of this country. These
wonderful kids are going to be the leaders of our country tomorrow". He thanked the
delegates for being allowed to talk about the Foundation and that we would take part in it.
Grand Master Bradley stated that on June 27, 1986 he issued a special dispensation to
Blanchard Lodge No. 447 for them to solicit funds for the daughter of Brother Eddie Walls,
who was present that day and wanted to say a few words to the Grand Lodge.
"Most Worshipful Grand Master, distinguished visitors, wardens, fellow Brother Masons.
As the Grand Master stated, I've got a daughter 13 years old, who desperately needs a liver
transplant. The financial situation around our house has been pretty grim for the past few
years, and we have been going downhill. Thanks to the generosity and the fellow brothers
remembering the charity lecture, the Blanchard Lodge has received in the neighborhood of
$22,000 to help with our medical expenses. It has been a lifesaver. We are anticipating a liver
transplant sometime this year if all goes well. The total expenses will be between $180,000
and $250,000, which a lot of money, but a very small price to pay for a big black-eyed girl like
I've got. From the bottom of my heart, and my wife, and my three children, we want to thank
each and every Lodge for their support and also I'd like to ask that it be printed in the Masonic
magazine that goes out to all the members for those who may not be here today and once
again we want to thank you. As my daughter said, if you contribute, I owe you my life. Thank
you very much"
The Grand Master said to convey our love to that lovely young daughter of his.
Dr. Calvin B. Folds, P.G.M., gave the report of the Memorials Committee for the Masonic
Home Educational Foundation for Brother Milton Schiltz, Chairman. He commended Brother
Shiltz for the wonderful job he has done for many years. There is a total of $614,326.91 that the
brethren and others throughout the State have given for memorials that have gone into the
Masonic Home Educational Foundation. Many students have been helped through this Foundation to further their education. He encouraged the brethren to continue making donations
or memorials for the Foundation. He moved that the recommended report be received and
printed in the Proceedings and that Brother Schiltz be congratulated for the job he has done
as chairman of the committee. This was approved.

M:W: Brother Dr. E. R. Minchew, P.G.M., gave the report of the Masonic Home Endowment Fund. He referred to his report as printed in the Advance Reports. He stated that several
years ago the Grand Lodge approved the program of receiving donations to go into an endowment fund for the Home, and the interest from the amount invested would go to help the expenses of the operation of the Masonic Home for Children, which is the only charity we have
as such. The committee expressed its appreciation to all who have made a contribution as a
memorial or as a direct contribution to the Masonic Home Endowment Fund. He urged the
brethren to continue their donations to this fund to the point where it will make the Home selfsustaining. He encouraged the secretaries when they send out a statement for dues, that a
sentence be added, contribution of $3.65, that's the penny-a-day program. This would bring us
about $100,000 per year, and we ould soon raise our $2,000,000. He thanked the Grand Master
for having served as chairman. He moved the adoption of his report. This was approved.
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE GRAND LODGE COMMITTEE ON
THE MASONIC HOME ENDOWMENT FUND
Your Committee on the Masonic Home Endowment Fund begs to report as follows:
The Grand Lodge Committee on the Masonic Home Endowment Fund has attempted to reach
every Mason who is a member of the Free and Accepted Masons of Louisiana and request
that each Mason make a contribution to the Masonic Home Endowment Fund. Our efforts
have not been as optimistic as we had hoped. The PENNY-A-DAY program, supported and
encouraged by the Grand Master, has not been accepted by every Lodge nor every Mason.
Your Committee urges all Lodge Secretaries to include a reminder to members to be
certain to include a Penny-A-Day contribution to the Masonic Home Endowment Fund when
mailing in their annual dues. Where this has been done the results have been noteworthy.
We need to continue to endow our Home that it may become self-supporting.Your Committee
wishes to thank all Masons, especially the Grand Lodge Officers, for their support during
the year.
E. R. Minchew, Chairman
Committee on Masonic Home
Endowment Fund
R:W: Joseph Sherette, Grand Senior Warden, Grand Lodge of Florida, gave greetings from
the Grand Lodge of Florida. He congratulated our Grand Master on the way he handled the
Grand Lodge Session, the peace and harmony, and the progression on how the Grand Lodge
moved. He stated he had severa occasions and meetings when he had the opportunity to be
with our Grand Master, and Brother Bradley represented the Grand Lodge of Louisiana with
distinction and dignity. It was his pleasure and that of their Grand Junior Warden to share the
very warm "cajun" hospitality. He congratulated everyone for a fine Grand Lodge Session.
M:W: Brother Ray W. Burgess, P.G.M., Chairman, requested that his report of committee
to Supervise Publication of the Louisiana Freemason Bulletin as printed in the Advance
Report he adopted. The report was approved.
REPORT OF COMMITTEE TO
SUPERVISE PUBLICATION OF
LOUISIANA FREEMASON BULLETIN
Your Committee was responsible for the publication of four issues of the Louisiana
Freemason during M:W: Bradley's year as Grand Master. We have tried to improve your
magazine by including a balance of activities representing every area of the State.
This was not possible in all instances simply because we did not receive any news from
many Lodges. In that regard, your Committee urges all Lodges to send in a story about
some special event. Make it brief, but complete and with a picture if possible.
We have started a new column under the heading "Guest Editorial". We invite our
brethren to write a story that might be of interest to our members. We are also considering the addition of a column entitled "Looking Back". We hope to get some interesting copy about some of our old Lodges or anything else that happened years ago.
Remember, this is your publication. We want your input. We will try to use all
of the material we receive. Maybe not immediately, but in time.
Fraternally,

by a Judge Advocate, appointed by the Grand Master, who is authorized to appoint a Trial Commission of three (3)
disinterested Past Masters from three (3) different constituent Lodges, other than the Lodge of the accused; and,
WHEREAS, adoption of such a system would relieve the constituent Lodges of the direct responsibility of conducting
Masonic trials; and

procedures and improve Masonic discipline and justice in Louisiana, now therefore,

secular or business matters unless the differences involve conduct which is denounced as criminal under the laws of
the United States or the laws of the State where committed or amount to moral turpitude;

jurisdiction, or between a Lodge in its jurisdiction and a member of another Lodge;
(3) N o Master, Past Master or Warden of a Lodge or officer of the Grand Lodge shall be tried and punished for acts
performed while acting as Master or Warden of said constituent Lodge or for acts performed while acting as a Grand

(4) N o member who is insane or an interdict, even if suspended or demitted or imprisoned for a crime, shall be subject

Rights Pending Trial
(1) An accused brother against whom charges have been filed has the right to visit his Lodge until after trial and
conviction;
(2) If the accused is an officer of a Lodge and is not suspended under other provisions, he may continue to fill his
station until after trial and conviction;

suspended for non-payment of dues and/or assessments;

has the right to exercise disciplinary powers, no Mason shall be punished for a Masonic offense except upon
conviction after trial.
D.
Proceedings In A Court Of Law
(1) It is the policy of the Masonic fraternity to suspend action against a brother while charges against him are being
investigated in a Court of Law, in order to avoid the appearance of influencing the results of due process of law;
(2) Confession in a Court of Law by an accused of his guilt, after being acquitted in a Masonic trial, shall render the
accused subject to trial a second time, provided, that new charges are filed which charges may be identical to the
original charges but with the additional allegation that the accused has confessed his guilt in a Court of Law
subsequent to his acquittal;
(3) Conviction of crime in a Court of Law and sentence to imprisonment establishes a prima facie case of unmasonic
conduct but charges must be brought and due proceedings had before Masonic punishment can be imposed. An
accused, convicted and sentenced in a Court of Law, may, in any subsequent Masonic trial, offer proof of mitigating
circumstances, absence of moral turpitude or even innocence for consideration on the question of guilt and the degree
of punishment;
(4) An acquittal in a Court of Law is not a bar to a charge of unmasonic conduct based upon the same facts;
(5) The evidence adduced in a Court trial may be presented in a Masonic trial.

REPORT OF THE MASONIC LAW
AND JURISPRUDENCE COMMITTEE
M.W. GRAND MASTER AND BRETHREN:
We, the Masonic Law & Jurisprudence Committee, report
as follows:
I
With reference to those portions of the Grand Master's
address referred to this Committee, namely:
Building plans approved
Appointments during Year
By-Laws Approved-Disapproved
Permissions Granted
Dispensations Denied
Official Acts
Edicts
are all in accordance with Masonic Law and are approved.
II
With reference to the Resolutions submitted, the committee
recommends as follows:
RESOLUTION NO. 198 7-1:
This resolution is to amend and reenact Article VII,
General Regulations, Handbook of Masonic Law, in its entirety
providing for Trials, Punishments and Appeals. This proposed
amendment calls for a radical change in the procedure for
trial and places the original jurisdiction of all trials with
the Grand Lodge. Further, it does not create the office of
Judge Advocate, however, it refers to a. Judge Advocate who
will handle all of the trials in the State of Louisiana,
appoint a commission to hear trials when necessary, and then
the matters will go to the Appeals and Grievance Committee.
RESOLUTION NO. 19 8 7-2:
This resolution seeks to increase the annual assessment
per member, except those exempt, by ?1.50,.for a total assessment of $7.00 for the Grand Lodge of Louisiana beginning in
1988.
This changes the location and dates of the 1988 Annual
Grand Communication from Monday and Tuesday, February 1 and 2,
1988 in Lafayette, Louisiana to The Great Hall, Bellemont Hotel,
Baton Rouge, Louisiana for Monday and Tuesday, February 8 and
9, 1988.
125
RESOLUTION NO. 1987-4:
This provides for a Grand Lodge Fidelity Medal to be
presented by each constituent Lodge, annually, to the member
of each Lodge who is the senior insofar as membership is
concerned with a program entitled "This Is Your Life", or
something similar, if the health of the member will permit.
This resolution seeks to change Article IV, Section 1,
Page 3 of the Constitution and the Digest of Edicts, Visitation,
paragraph 2, pages 109-110, which contains the list of Grand
Lodge officers. The two Grand Lecturers were previously included as Grand Officers and this amendment would change this
to include the District Grand Lecturers who replaced the two
Grand Lecturers.
A resolution urging the Grand Master of the Grand Lodge
to appoint a committee to set up a self-insurance program for
the Grand Lodge and all constituent Lodges of the state of
Louisiana with premiums from all such bodies to be charged
according to their needs. This resolution was submitted by
Yellow Pine Lodge #282, F. & A.M., and 28 additional Lodges
have submitted similar resolutions and the Lodges' numbers
have been included on the bottom of this resolution inasmuch
as they are all similar.
This resolution fixes the 1989 Annual Grand Communication
of the Grand Lodge in New Orleans, Louisiana on Monday and
Tuesday, February 13 and 14, 1939.
This resolution seeks to change the Edicts on page 74,
Handbook of Masonic Law, pertaining to the "Gold Certificate
of Proficiency" awarded to one who has held a Certificate of
Proficiency for 25 years cumulatively, but not necessarily
continuously. This resolution would state that "As soon as
he has successfully passed his thirteenth (13th) proficiency
examination, butno.t necessarily taken every two years, the
member shall be issued a lifetime certificate which is to be
designated as a 'Gold Certificate of Proficiency1".
RESOLUTION NO. 198 7-9:
This resolution proposes a change in Article VI, Section 10,
General Regulations, Page 34 of the Handbook of Masonic Law,
in an effort to promote attendance in the Blue Lodge by requiring
that a "Certificate of Good Standing" shall be issued, only if
the member has attended at least one (1) meeting during the last
year .
This resolution seeks to create a trust fund to cover
insurance losses for the Grand Lodge and all constituent
Lodges, but also includes liability coverage in addition to
property losses.

Committee authorized R.W. Bro. Jack Crouch, Grand Secretary,
to change the Petition For Degrees in Masonry by inserting
on line 6 after "What is your residence?" to include "Phone
No.?" .
Additionally, the Petition For Degrees in Masonry was
changed to add a line 18 with the question:
Will this present a hardship to you or your family?
Yes
We further recommend that these changes be made in the
Handbook of Masonic Law.

No.
127
There was much discussion about resolutions 6 and 10 regarding insurance and liability coverage. Brother Kleinpeter said it had to be determined if all the Lodges and the Grand Lodge be forced to participate, or all
the Lodges who have Lodge buildings. He stated we will need to have some
one who is knowledgable enough to determine what we will need in the
way of participation. Some may think it should be compulsory with all
Lodges, and some others may think it should be voluntary. The committee
suggested that the incoming Grand Master, Brother Faciane, appoint a
committee to consider the creation of a "disaster fund" rather than an insurance fund. This would assist the Grand Lodge and constituent Lodges
on losses sustained by fire, storm and/or other perils. The committee could
draft a resolution and/or report on the feasibility of such plan within 4 months and circulate the same to all constituent Lodges. He asked that this be
put on the floor and have some discussion with those Lodges who submitted the original resolution. He made a motion that a committee be appointed by the Grand Master for the creation of a disaster fund for the
Grand Lodge and Constituent Lodges, and that the committee draft a report
or resolution encompassing its findings and submit it to all the Lodges
sometime within 4 months or a little after and then he withdrew the motion.
There was also much discussion on Resolution No. 1 by Brother
Kleinpeter, Grand Master Bradley, Clarence Wells, P.M. (386), Morris
Shapiro, P.G.M., Brother Joseph A. D. Loftin, P.M. (271).
Brother Kleinpeter made a motion that the incoming Grand Master appoint a committee to study the self-insurance program as contained in
resolutons 6 and 10 for our own benefit and benefit of those Lodges that
would need it. Secondly, that the Grand Master appoint a second committee to look into our trial system to see if it needs revising or if there is
another method more feasible. This was approved.
R:W: Samuel M. Lewis, Grand Junior Warden, Grand Lodge of Florida
spoke to the delegation. He stated that it was an honor and privilege to be
here at the 176th Annual Communication. He brought greetings from the
80,000 Masons in the State of Florida, the Sunshine State. He extended an
invitation to visit their Grand Lodge Communication on May 11th-13th of
this year. He is a native of Louisiana and was from New Orleans. He was
born and raised here and left at the age of 17 to join the service. After serving a short time (29 years and 7 months) he went to the State of Florida.
While in the service, he was stationed at Fort Polk, La., and was a member
of De Ridder Lodge No. 271. Some of the members of that Lodge are good
friends of his. In 1982 he was appointed Grand Representative to Louisiana
from the State of Florida. He said it is a privilege and honor to come back to
our Grand Lodge. He commented on the way Grand Lodge conducts its
Session and the amount of work done in such a short time. It takes the
Grand Lodge of Florida two and half days to go through their Session,
which is done in a day and a half in Louisiana. He said we are to be commended, and like General MacArthur, "I shall return".
Grand Lodge was called to refreshment at 5:00 P.M. and to reconvene
at 9:00 A.M. on Tuesday.

PROCEEDINGS OF T H E G R A N D L O D G E
SECOND DAY — MORNING SESSION
Grand Lodge was called from refreshment to labor and prayer was given by the Grand
Chaplain, A. Ray McLaurin.
The High School Award report was given by Brother D. L Aldridge, Chairman. He thanked
the brethren for their support to the program. Some indicated, who have never done it before,
that they will get started in the program. Over 45% of our Lodges have made the presentation
during the last year, and encouraged the brethren to move forward in the forthcoming year. He
thanked the Grand Master for his support. He moved that his report be adopted. This was approved.
REPORT OF THE GRAND LODGE SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON
HIGH SCHOOL AWARDS
Report No. 10-The Tenth Year 1986
Grand Master Clifford A. Bradley and your Committee wishes to thank you for the
support given this program during 1986 by your officers. Albett Pike Stated "A good
man will find that there is goodness in the World"; An honest man will find there is
honesty in the world; and a man of principle will find principle and integrity in the
minds of others". What we are, we find.
One Hundred Twenty-eight Lodges participated in this voluntary program of the
Grand Lodge recognizing 409 students in their Junior Year of study. We believe that
it is significent to point out to the Worshipful Masters and Wardens of the Lodges
who did not participate in the program during the year 1986 that the Blue Lodges of
Louisiana have now presented over 2500 awards for Honesty and Integrity. The truth
is its what we do_ that counts.
We are advocates of that which is right. Let us go forward continuing the Program
in which all Lodges can participate. Let us continue to give young people everywhere a
standard to live up to. A standard of Honesty and Integrity.
Brethren today is a good time to place your order for your 1987 Honesty and Integrity
Award. The Service Committee stands ready to take your order.
I move that this report be accepted and printed in the Minutes.

McGuire United Methodist Church, West.Monroe, La., also Worshipful Master of J. C.
Stewart Lodge No. 460, West Monroe, brought the morning message. R:W: Eugene F. Love,
G.J.W., gave the benediction.
Special music was provided by Paige Bruraley from Haughton, Louisiana, a student at
Louisiana College. Paige is confined to a wheelchair and was born without fully developed arms and legs. She earns money to support her college education by using the
beautiful voice that God has blessed her with. She brings honor to her Savior as she
serves with this special talent.
Homecoming was really a homecoming to many Masons, their friends and the children
at the Masonic Home.
F. Love, G.J.W., Chairman

Brother Bernard F. Mandlebaum, General Grand Master, General
Grand Council, Cryptic Masons International, spoke and state in his official capacity, he does not often get a chance to address Grand Lodges.
He and Grand Master Bradley had been friends for 20 to 25 years. He appreciated the invitation from Grand Lodge. He came from New Orleans
many years ago and knew what Louisiana hospitality was and he was getting it. He told the brethren to watch your thoughts, they become words,
watch your words, they become actions. Watch your actions, they become
habits, watch your habits, they become your character, and watch your
character, that becomes your destiny.
There was considerable discussion on Resolution No. 11, which had
been presented the prior day by Brother Caton Langston. Brothers
Kleinpeter, Minchew and Long spoke against the resolution, which was
disapproved.
Brother Kleinpeter stated when he was on the floor yesterday, one of
the delegates from Alexandria suggested that we do something in recognition of the many efforts that Brother Malcolm Ballard has put forward for
the Blue Lodge Masonry and Grand Lodge Masonry. He has served as
Grand Photographer since 1975. He as taken more pictures of all Bodies
than any other grand photographer. He has a video camera that he records
cornerstones and everything else. He has served on the Freemason committee, has helped with the Ritual work and holds a certificate of proficiency. He has helped with Shrine installations, and Grand Lodge installations.
He has been chairman of Grand Lodge arrangements and makes a lot of arrangements for cornerstones and other ceremonies. He does things according to the book. It was the brethren of the Blue Lodges, Constituent
Lodges that suggested that he be recognized as "Right Worshipful".
Resolution was presented and it was approved.
.REPORT OF THE
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES COMMITTEE
1986
Due to the Illness of the Chairman, not much has been accomplished by the "Goals
and Objectives" Committee.
Letters were written to all the members requesting their input. Replies have beer,
received from most of them and if this committee is continued by the incoming Grand
Master, a meeting will be called to formulate a plan of action.
By this report, we request any M.M. to send in his ideas about what plans Masonry
should follow for the short term and also for the futuyn
Chairman
132
M:W: Thomas T. Elkins, P.G.M., referred to the report of the Board of
Budget and Control as printed in the Advance Report. He stated that
Brother Crosby, who was the former chairman had resigned and he was
presenting the report for the Board. He referred the delegates to turn to
page 76 of the Advance Report for the proposed budget for 1987. As Brother
Jim King has reported, we have tremendous loss in our investments, and
will have to work with some very tight dollars. We will do our best. He moved that we adopt the proposed budget for 1987 as printed in the Advance
Report. The Budget was approved.
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF BUDGET AND CONTROL
The Board of Budget and Control herewith submits this report for the
1987 Session of the Grand Lodge. Receipts for 1986 sere $171.00 below the
budget you approved.
This was mostly due to less number of degree fees
collected and lower interest received brought about by lower interest rates
and a reduction in funds available for investing.
Disbursements were $5,222 below budget*
Significant savings were made
in telephone expenses and in stationery expense due to prudent purchasing.
Savings also have been made in van insurance and printing, except for the cost
of printing the Grand Lodge Proceedings which continue to rise along with office
supplies and supplies that the Grand Lodge furnish to the Lodges.
The 1987 budget is presented for your consideration and approval.
It is
a lean budget.
There is no allowance for cost of living raise for the employees.
To support this budget and future operations of the Grand Lodge, Resolution No. 2 needs to be approved at the 1987 Grand Lodge Session. During the
past several years careful control on expenses and prudent investment of idle
funds has resulted in the Grand Lodge giving service to the Lodges and the
brethren, and at the same time meeting all of its financial obligations. A
small surplus was set aside each year. Now the cupboard is almost bare.
If the increase in assessments is approved, funds will not be available
until 1989. Careful and sound fiscal managment will have to be used to
carry us through the next two years without reducing service to the Lodges
and brethren.
The Budget and Control Board has not recommended an increase since 1980,
but at that time we had approximately 45,000 members. Today we have less
than 41,000.
This is a loss of membership of over 4000 and loss of income
of over $22,000 per year. Therefore, this increase is truly needed.

F. & A. M.
We have examined the combined balance sheet of THE GRAND LODGE OF THE
STATE OF LOUISIANA, F. & A. M., comprised of the MASONIC TEMPLE BUILDING, the
MASONIC CEMETERY, the GRAND LODGE OF THE STATE OF LOUISIANA, F. & A. M., the
PARAPHERNALIA and LODGE EQUIPMENT DEPARTMENT, the BOARD OF CHARITIES AND
BENEVOLENCE, the SPECIAL PURPOSE FUND, the LOUISIANA FREEMASON and the
STATUE OF LIBERTY FUND at December 3 1 , 1986 and the related statements of
operations and fund balances, changes in financial position and Schedule " 1 "
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 aforementioned financial statements present fairly
the financial position of the Grand Lodge Of The State Of Louisiana, F. & A. M .
at December 3 1 , 1986, and the results of its operations, the changes in its
financial position and Schedule " 1 " for the year then ended, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent
with that of the preceding year.

To the Board of Trustees
Alexandria, Louisiana
We have examined the balance sheet of the Masonic Home for Children as of
November 30, 1986, and the related statement of support and revenue, expenses,
and changes in fund balances and changes in financial position 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.
As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, there is not sufficient data
at this time to determine the amount of possible liability due to the adoption
of a resolution by the Board of Trustees to establish a pension plan for the
benefit of the employees of the Masonic Home for Children.
In our opinion, subject to the effects on the financial statements of such
adjustments, if any, as might have been required had the outcome of the uncertainty referred to in the preceding paragraph been known, the financial statements referred to in the first paragraph present fairly the financial position
of the Masonic Home for Children at November 30, 1986, and the results of its
operations and the changes in its financial position for the year then ended, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
November 30. 1986
1.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The financial statements of the Masonic Home for Children have been prepared on the accrual basis. The significant accounting policies followed
are described below to enhance the usefulness of the financial statements
to the reader.
Fund accounting To ensure observance of limitations and restrictions placed on the use of
resources available to the organization, the accounts of the organization
are maintained in accordance with the principles of fund accounting. This
is the procedure by which resources for various purposes are classified for
accounting and reporting purposes into funds established according to their
nature and purposes. Separate accounts are maintained for each fund;
however, in the accompanying financial statements, funds that have simi lar
characteristics have been combined into fund groups. Accordingly, all
financial transactions have been recorded and reported by fund group.
The assets, liabilities, and fund balances of the Masonic Home for Children
are reported in three self-balancing fund groups as follows:
Operating funds, which includes only unrestricted resources, represent
the portion of expendable funds that is available for support of
operations.
Plant funds represent resources restricted for fixed asset acquisitions
and funds expended for fixed assets.
Restricted funds represent funds that are subject to restrictions imposed
either by the donor or the Board of Trustees.
Income tax status The Masonic Home for Children is an exempt organization under Section
501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The organization has no
unrelated business activities that would be subject to income tax.
Donations other than cash Donations other than cash are recorded as income at an amount equal to the
fair market value of the gift on the date of the donation. Items, such as
stocks and bonds, held at the end of the organization's year are adjusted
to their respective fair market values on that date, In accordance with the
recommendations of the Accounting Standards Division of the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants (Statement of Position 78-10).

organizations. The Endowment Fund is not included in these financial

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT
November 30, 1986
4.
UNCERTAINTY:
On July 19, 1986, the Board of Trustees of the Masonic Home for Children
adopted a resolution to establish a pension plan for its employees. A plan
document has not been submitted to the Internal Revenue Service for approval as a qualified plan. The Board of Trustees has dedicated the amount of
$53,281 for use in funding the pension plan. Due to lack of sufficient
data, it is not possible at this time to determine whether this amount is
adequate to fund the pension obligation, nor to determine the actual liability associated with the pension plan. When the Board of Trustees adopts a
plan which conforms to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974,
it will then be possible to determine the liability for pension plan
benefits.
5.
EMPLOYEE PENSION PLAN:
As discussed in Note 4, the organization adopted a resolution to establish
a pension plan for its employees in the current year. This plan will cover
all full-time employees of the Masonic Home for Children. At this time, no
provision has been made for pension plan expense, but $53,281 has been
dedicated to fund this plan, and this amount is included In cash and certificates of deposit of Restricted Funds.
6.
PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENT:
The Masonic Home for Children has adopted Statement of Position 78-10 for
guidance in accounting policy. In previous periods, marketable securities
were recorded at a nominal value or zero. The organization's balance sh"eet
has been adjusted retroactively to November 30, 1985. We are currently
unable to assess the effect of this change, if any, on the financial statements of that period.
7.
RESTRICTED ASSETS:
Certain assets held by the Masonic Home for Children at November 30, 1986
are restricted by the Board of Trustees. They include the cash and certificate of deposit set aside for the retirement plan, the cash surrender
value of life insurance, and the beneficiary interest in trust.

To The Board of Trustees
We have examined the financial statements of the Masonic Home for Children for
the year ended November 30, 1986, and have issued our report thereon dated
January 14, 1987. As part of our examination, we made a study and evaluation of
the organization's system of internal accounting control to the extent we considered necessary solely to determine the nature, timing, and extent of our
auditing procedures. Our study and evaluation was more I mited than would be
necessary to express an opinion on the system of internal accounting control
taken as a whole, and we do not express such an opinion.
However, during our examination we became aware of certain matters that, while
not involving material weaknesses in internal accounting control, are opportunities for strengthening internal controls and operating efficiency. The
following comments concern those weaknesses and other operational areas together
with suggested solutions for your consideration and possible implementation:
With present economic conditions, the interest rate earned on Investments has
decreased. Since the Masonic Home for Children's investment portfolio is
comprised of only interest-bearing certificates, naturally this means less
income than in recent years. We recommend that a portion of the Masonic Home
for Children's investment portfolio be diversified to include investments
which would yield a higher rate of return.
It is our understanding that the Masonic Home for Children has adopted a
resolution to establish a pension plan during the year ended November 30,
1986. After examination of the plan, we have concluded that the provisions in
the resolution may not be adequate to obtain approval as a qualified pension
plan under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) of 1974 which
sets forth requirements for retirement plans. We recommend that the Board of
Trustees adopt a plan that meets the aforementioned requirements.
Beginning January 1, 1988, the Internal Revenue Code changes the tax treatment
of fringe benefits provided to employees. These benefits, which include
hospitalization insurance paid by the Masonic Home for Children on behalf of
its employees, will become taxable to the employee. Furthermore, the employer
is required to pay payroll taxes on this amount which is added to the
employee's wages. We recommend that the Board of Trustees adopt what is known
as a cafeteria plan which would preclude the taxation of these fringe benefits
to the employer and the employee.

To the Board of Trustees
We have examined the balance sheet of the Endowment Fund of the Masonic Home for
Children as of November 30, 1986, and the related statements of support and
revenue, expenses, and changes in fund balance, and statement of changes in
financial position for the year then ended. Our examination was made in accordance wth generally accepted auditing standards and, accordingly, included such
tests of 1 he accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
As explained in Note 2, the financial statements being presented are only for
the fund referred to above and do not include the assets, liabilities, and fund
balances and the support, revenue, expenses, and capital additions of the
Masonic Home for Children that are recorded in its Operating, Plant, and
Restricted Funds other than the Endowment Fund. Accordingly, the accompanying
financial statements are not intended to present the financial position of the
Masonic Home for Children as of November 30, 1986, or its results of operations
for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting.principles.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly the
assets, liabilities, and fund balance of the Endowment Fund of the Masonic Home
for Children at November 30, 1986, and the changes in the fund balance for the
year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.

This report summarizes the contents of several much longer, arid more
detailed communications of this past year.
Dur present. DP operations are based on techniques implemented over 25
years ago. Technology has improved dramatically. Costs per "computing

computer as a management tool has been recognized as the primary benefit
for most organizations - to understand and monitor mare closely patterns
and trends in their area of responsibility.
The same is true of our
Brand Lodge and its needs. In the meantime:

I have had additional information regarding the Florida Grand

understand them from limited past, conversations and meetings.

The following is a report of the activities of the Baton Rouge Relief Lodge No. 5 reported
at our annual stated communication held on December 7,1986 in the Temple of St. James Lodge No47,Baton Rouge, La.
Having received a dispensation from the Grand Master, our Worshipful Master, Allen R.
Williams called a special meeting of the Relief Lodge for the purpose of electing a Treasurer.
This action was necessary due to the death of our Beloved Brother Woodrow Hutchinson. At this
meeting Brother John M. Perkins, P.M. of Milford Lodge No. 117 was elected and installed.
It was reported that the Relief Lodge had purchased and distributed, to the area funeral
homes, five Square & Compass floral arrangements, furnished each with an adequate supply of
white funeral aprons for use at and during the Memorial Services of our deceased Brethren,
participated in sixty one funerals and made many hospital and home visits on behalf of the
sick. The funerals included twelve sojourners , five from within our State and seven from
other Grand Jurisdicitions and assisting area Lodges in conducting forty nine.
We received only one request for assistance which was discussed and approved at the
December 7th meeting.

REPORT OF THE SPECIAL COMMITTEE OF THE LOUISIANA RESEARCH LODGE
TO THE MOST WORSHIPFUL GRAND MASTER, RIGHT WORSHIPFUL GRAND LINE OFFICERS
AND WORSHIPFUL MEMBERS AND OFFICERS OF THE GRAND LODGE, STATE OF LOU ISI ANA .Ff-AM
This past year, the Special Committee to form a Research Lodge within our Grand
Jurisdiction has continued to correspond with the Research Lodges across the United
States. Many of these Research Lodges have responded with additional information to
assist in the organizational area. Special appreciation is offered to W.'. Brother
Don White, Secretary of the Southern Arizona Research Lodge, for his encouragement and
ass istance.
The Special Committee recommends to the Grand Master that the Draft set of
By-Laws presented last year be accepted and given the acceptance by the appropriate
Grand Lodge Committee. These By-Laws allow the Research Lodge to form and be granted
Dispensation as a "special" Lodge within our Grand Jurisdiction. The Research Lodge
would operate much like the Relief Lodges; however, the meeting place of the Research
Lodge would move from site to site with the annual meeting always being held in the
city where the Grand Lodge meets.
The officers of the Research Lodge could be recognized as "bona fide" officers
with past presiding officers being given the dignity of Past Masters.
The Committee can only offer several additional
suggestions:
1.
Constitute a Research Lodge for our Grand Jurisdiction during 1987.
2.
Name a line of officers who will
3.
Allow the Lodge to develop a Library of Books, Papers, Tapes, Movies,
Slides, and other materials such as Braille materials for all of our
Masonic population, and those who are genuinely interested in masonic
research.
h.
Invest the Lodge with the authority to set its own standards, By-Laws
and ability to determine its future course.
lend dignity and authority to the Lodge.
It has been a pleasure to serve you and the Grand Lodge this year.

Bro. 'SI if-ford Bradley

Dear Brother Bradley;
I am pleased to report to you the completion of our TAKE STOCK IN YOUR
FUTURE program with the Masonic organisations o-f Louisiana -for
1936—87. Thanks to the Masons of Louisiana, we were able to schedule
seventeen young men to a Leadership Conference this year.
All conference and travel fees were able to be paid for all seventeen of
these young men to the best site for our state to Searcy, Arkansas.
They traveled by Greyhound bus to and from, the most economical means we
could f i nd.
As the attached financial summary indicates, we came within 2 0 A of our
actual costs, rather close for this project, as if the expected 24-26
young men had gone, we would have just broken even. Several of our
young men could not make it at the very last minute, due to the tight
financial conditions of their family. This explains the average
contribution being down from our constituent lodges this year (tho the
total ***$ was up), doubtless for the same reason.
It is the continuing participation and support o-f Louisiana Masonry that
has permitted this program to work successfully on the continuing basis
we have established. TAKE STOCK IN YOUR FUTURE may be a rallying cry
for Louisiana Masonry. It is the results of that support that helps us
provide added education and improvement to the individual chapter
leadershi p.
For Louisiana DeMolay. we again thank you and your Family.

Prior to Louisiana Masonry's support of our TAKE STOCK IN YOUR FUTURE
program, Louisiana DeMolay had never been able to send more than five
young men to this experience, and usually in the range of 2-3 young men,
as the costs (at that time) had to be borne by either the individual or
the chapters. Now, we are able to send 2-3 young men from each chapter•
A most meaningful experience for the young men, and beneficial to their
chapters....

V. A. REPRESENTATIVE REPORT
January 20, 1987
The following is the annual report of the activities of the Masonic Service Field Agent at the V.A.
Medical Center in Alexandria, La. for the year of 1986:
During the year we attended several Masonic funerals and also several veterans funerals that were
not Masons, that passed away in the hospital. I assisted the wife of a Brother Mason, from out of State,
in arranging for his Masonic funeral.
I attended the Grand Lodge Session for 1986. During the year we visited patients in the hospital that
time would allow. We furnished soft drinks for patients outings and tours. We furnished church bulletins
for several of the church services. We participated in the patients Carnival Days at the hospital. We spent
half-a-day during the week distributing arts and crafts to patients on the wards that were bed-ridden. I
still try to play dominoes and games with patients as time will allow. We cooperate with the Chief of
Volunteer Service in all his requests for assistance that time and funds will allow.
In closing, I would like to once again thank the Hospital Director and his staff for their cooperation
and assistance they rendered me as a Masonic Service Field Agent.
