MASONIC TEMPLE IS ACCEPTED AT MILLBURN RITES
$60,000 LODGE HALL DEDICATED
MILLBURN - A new $60,000 temple serving a wide rural area was dedicated by the Millburn Masonic Lodge Saturday evening.
The dedication took place after the deed for the building was turned over to the lodge by the Millburn Temple Assn., a separate organization of Masonic members who financed, built and readied the temple for occupancy.
The deed was presented by Philip W. Anderson, president of the association to T. R. Messler, master of the lodge. Recognition was given to officers of the association Henry Reidel, vice president; B. J. Hooper, secretary; Ray Ferry, treasurer; LaVern A. Dixon, attorney; Eric Anderson, Kless Gyzen, Alfred Pierce and T. R. Messler.
After presentation of the deed, Milton R. Sonntag, grand master of the lodge in Illinois, and his staff of state officials, conducted the dedication ceremony.
Nearly 200 persons were entertained after the service at dinner provided by the officers of the lodge and their wives.
