TV -!a u.. ry L.nristmas OREGON Masonic Eastern Star home nearing completion at Forest Grove and costing $300,000, will house and care .for a large "family." InsertPast Grand Master Will Moore of Pendleton chairman of the committee in charge. riS expected that the Masonic and Eastern Star home will bo ready tor tho reception of the "family" by St. John day. Christmas week, and that It will be prepared with every up-to-date convenience of a Urge country home. The members of the home are not to be classified as inmates, ruest, patients, pensioners or dependents. They are to hi inen txrs of the Masonic family of Oregon. The building- will hare cost nearly $30D (KK) when completed and In clude a steam laundry, Ice and refrig erator plant, small dairy and modern heating; lianL The building estimates exceeded what the total cost now prom ises to be. There will be accommoda tions lor a "family" of between 75 and no, in addition to the required number of specialists employed. The building was completed "last June to a point to permit the laying of the cornerstone. No Masonic home building has been completed In a shorter time than this was put through. It Is located on a sightly and fertile ' 30-acre tract facing the highway near Forest Grove and Ic provided with every modern ac cessory. Far enough out from the city to not be a part of Portland It is within eaty automoo'!e drive. It has an ad mirable special sewer system, a beau titful strove and orchard and a sweeping view of a large portion of the Tualatin valley. At present the plastering Is nearly completed, the plumbing and heating systems are being installed and a large consignment of the winter's wood has been delivered. J. S. Roark and wife have' been recommended for superin tendent and matron, respectively, and it Is expected they will take charge early In December. Mr. Roark has been sec retary of the committee that has had charge of the construction of the horfle, and for a number of years has devoted time and thought to' the problem of its establishment. The committee is repre sented by Will Moore, chairman; Frank J. Miller, Oliver V. Coshow, L. M. Gra ham, Pauline Moore Riley, Rose J. -Wilson and Lena C. Mendenhall. Tne building has been constructed of enduring materials, laid on cement, and engineers who have Inspected It say that It Is the best constructed building of Us size on the Pacific coast. Th . central part of the building is fronted h a columned portico. The first unit has been placed on Its left (right in cut). and it is Intended to construct another unit renchinff the other way from the ' crt nier whenever It is needed. Back of tha building ir. located the heating plant. dlnli s rooms, laundry and other depart ments. U has been 'built without a dol lar of indebtedness, in accordance with Masonic tradition, and will be main tallied by regular levies upon the mem , bursliip, with ample funds assured for Us continuance. Rules for admission of members have been drafted after care ful Examination of similar provisions by institutions of a like nature In- other staUs Or!y Masons and members of the Order Eastern, Star will be ad mitted. It is not an Institution for profit, nor for general charity. Its . family will consist of those members of the two orders who., by reason of ad vanced age, or Immaturity, need the care of home surroundings. The Order Eastern Star of Oregon began more than II years ago to pre pare for a Masonic home. The good ' sisters never gave the Masonic-, brethren . tny- rest until they, too, got busy. Funds were started over 12 years ago and with the Increase in membership and the m steady accumulation of funds the time ripened for its final accomplishment. In the future a children's home will be es tablished separate and apart from the ' present. home, but probably on the same grounds. There Is plenty of room for enlargement along any fraternal lines sought.
