105 Masonic Members
Attend Annual Old
Timer’s Dinner Sat.
Scenes from Three
Operas Reviewed
By Business Women
The 13th annual Old Timer’s <
dinner at the Masonic Temple :
Saturday evening drew one of
the larger crowds for the event,
105 Masons attending the affair.
The annual dinner was started I
13 years ago by Emil Messing ;
and the first dinner also marked 1
his birthday. Again this year the •
dinner occured on his birthday.
On last Tuesday, January 23,
the Vernonia Business and Pro­
fessional Women’s club, met
with Lillian Akers and Mrs. Hal-
ler at the home of Mrs. L'jlah
Fullerton.
The program was in charge
of Mrs. Akers and she reviewed
a scene in each of three operas.
For each scene Mrs. Akers had
constructed miniature stage set-
>tings with lighting effects and
with diminutive players, beauti-
fully and correctly dostumed.
Lights were dimmed and Mrs. A-
kers began to narrate the story
of the first scene, which was the
attic scene from Puccini’s “La
Boheme”. Two records were
played; Mimi’s solo being sung
by Bidu Sayao, and Rudolph’s
by Jusse Bourling.
The second scene was from the
Russian opera, ‘‘Bouris Godoun-
ow” by Moussourgsky. The stage
displayed minarets in the dis­
tance, the castle up front, with
Boris descending the marble
stairs and peasants in colorful
costumes, kneeling before him in
the foreground. Effective blue
lights made the scene very real.
The recorded solo, “Hail to Bor­
is” sung by Feodor Chaliapin
was played. Also the recordings
of the symphony with chorus
and bells at the Coronation
scene, led by Feodor Chaliapin.
The third and last scene was the
well known “Hansel and Gretel”
by Humperdinck. The candy
house and gingerbread fence
were faithfully reproduced in
miniature apd after the narration
by Mrs. Akers, the records
“Sandman’s Lullaby” and “Even­
ing Prayer” were played, both
solos being sung by Elisabeth
Schumann.
After this delightful program,
a short business session was held
during which plans were com-
pleted to hold a Valentine »dance
on Monday, February 5. Invita­
tions are being issued to friends
of the club members. The host­
esses served refreshments later
in the evcnfhg.
Out-of-town Masons attended
from St. Helens, Portland and
Rainier to swell the number •
present. Arrangements were in
charge of Walter Linn and much
of the preparatory work was
done by Walter Kent, Emil Mes­
sing, Paul Gordon, Ira Baucom
and Wallace McCrae. Turkey
was the main course of the din-

The war effort is reaching a condition which
should put every American on his toes to do
his utmost to help finish the fight.
Buy unrationed foods as often as possible,
eat wisely, waste nothing and shop at King’s,
are four mighty good suggestions to follow.

two knitt sweaters (one WAC

those who can and will knit
sweaters and sox, The club has
need of woolen garments or
pieces of woolen garments and
of crossword puzzles that can be
pasted on cardboard. People hav-
ing such items are urged to turn
them in to the club. Good use
will be made of them.
Events for two dates this
month are also being planned.
First will be a dance thi3 Sat­
urday night at the Legion hall

ing Red Cross drive. The Seabee
