Masons Extend Annual Tribute To Washington Clyde Snider Delivers Principal Address At Dinner An outstanding tribute in song and word was extended to the memory o f George Washington as i man and Mason at the annual Washington day dinner o f the Masonic lodge and the Eastern 3tar of Nyssa in the home eco nomics room o f the high school building Tuesday night. After humorously reciting the reasons why Washington could probably not be elected president of the United States today, Clyde Snider o f Nyssa declared that Washington believed in the con servation and preservation of law and aider, yet could be a revol utionist who dedicated his life and honor to principles that in his judgment were for the defense of Hu- liberty of his country. He was always loyal -to the immortal principles o f the declaration of independence. He believed in Justice for all men before the laiw. T h e speaker -pointed out that Washington's early Masonic train ing and -background were largely responsible for his devotion to su h principles. Tracing the history o f early op erative Masonry, Mr. Snider stated that in 1717 the operative craft became a thing of the past and the grand lodge o f England was established. Soldiers spread M as onry all over -the colonies and many o f the leaders entered the lodges. It was in a time in which spirits were flam ing that George Washing ton was reared, Mr. Snider said. Many who carried on before Lex ington were Masons and many who helped form this government were Masons. Washington won victory after eight years o f failure, but he still didn't have a government, Mr. Snider stated, adding that “ There were 13 colonies at each other’3 hroats. Washington saw all of this disunity. For seven long year's he devoted himself to bringing these colonies together In common oritiv. Hi* was the authoratlve voice that called ul'e councils to gether that resulted in the con» 3tltutional convention. I t -was his genius that kept -them together, but the unity was only a paper unity. For eight years as president he set this government In motion harmoniously. So Washington fin ally unified the nation and pre pared It for the 150 years that we have enjoyed since. " I t was due in no small meas ure to his Masonic training that Washington was first in peace, first in war and first In -the -hearts of his countrymen. W e can only hope that Masons in other lands will have the same courage that carried Qeonge Washington forward. We hope here tonight th at In all countries where tyranny threatens liberty, men imbued with Masonry will rise and say resistance to tyranny Is allegiance to God". Kenneth Renstrom, toastmaster, opened the meeting with Intro duction o f the chaplain, Don G ra ham, who delivered the Invocation, the worshipful master, LuRay T ra - bert, welcomed the guests and ex pressed gratitude tor the large a t tendance. He Introduced his staff o f officers and Mrs. Helen Wilson, worthy matron of the Eastern Star, added to -the welcome o f the wor shipful master, who also introduc es! W. E. Sohireman, district dep uty grand master. Cleo Flinders gave a humorous reading a/bout Oeorge Washington.
