Free book,
“The Lion’s Paw”, available to Masons on Active Duty
By Joe Ohlandt
Owner Temple Publishers
During WWII, The Temple Publishers donated a great Masonic novel written by Carl H. Claudy entitled “The Lion’s Paw” to our servicemen overseas. This book was “Dedicated to all Master Masons in Service to our Country.”
As the owner of Temple Publishers, I would like to make that offer again during these trying times. I am willing to donate a book and mailing to any Master Mason on Active Duty to our country beyond our borders in appreciation of their service. Please contact me personally
at donate@thetemplebooks.com
with the members name, lodge and mailing address. I will proudly include a letter of appreciation to them.

DO YOU HAVE
EXTRA TIME?
We need volunteers to man
Masonic Center guard stations
By Ill... Wilbur B. Smith, 33°
Valley Treasurer
During the past several years, the expenses of your Valley have increased while the income has declined as a result of the nation’s economic problems and decline in membership.
Your trustees are working hard to hold cost increases to a minimum. We are looking to the membership of the Valley to join us is this cost reduction effort. We are looking for ways to curb the rising costs. One of the largest expense we have is our security costs.
To control or reduce this expense is for our members to operate the guard station during the day and possibly early evening. We are looking for members who have some extra time to perform this important duty at a minimum hourly rate of pay.
We are looking for individuals who have at least 4 hours available per day 3 to 4 days a week.
Please review your calendars and if you have some free time and are willing to operate the guard’s station, please let our Secretary, John Youngblood, know.
We thank you for your consideration.
