BT Senorita Laura Jorquera, of the L] Church of the Saviour, Santiago, M asonic Chile, prepared the program, which will be used as a guide for the day's devotions and, appropriately, a pie- ture of the famous statue Christ of the Andes appears on the program and posters, both of which will soon be available in Juneau. The statue, symbol of peace throughout the world, stands on the boundary line between Argentina and Chile, and was cast in bronze from the cannon with which the soldiers of the two countries had come so near firing at each other during_their fifty years' quarrel in the nineteenth century. A tablet on the mountain rock pedestal pro- claims: “Sooner shall these mountains crumble into dust than shall Argen- tines and Chileans break the peace which they have pledged at the feet of Christ the Redeemer.” Sponsoring local activities for the day is the Juneau Interdenomina- History Is Made Master of Fairbanks Lodge Is Installed at Seat- tle Session An event that is believed to be unprecedented in Masonic history was the: inmstallation ' recently in the. Masonic Temple in Seattle of Ray B. Earling as Master of the Masonie: Lodge in Fairbanks. Mr. Earling was elected Master of the Fairbanks Lodge at a meet- ing held a few days after he left there for the States. His installa- tion was desired as soon as possible, so the ceremony was held in Tus- can Hall of the Masonic Temple in Seattle, at a meeting opened by ‘thter H. Steffey, Grand Master ' of the Grand Lodge of Washington and Alaska, and attended by al- most 50 members of the Fairbanks Lodge who were in Seattle at that time. For the purposes of the in- stallation, a special communication of Tanana Lodge No. 162, Free and | Accepted Masons of Fairbanks, was. opened by Grand Master Steffey. Mr. Earling, who is General Man- ager of the Fairbanks Exploration Company, arrived in Seattle a few days before’ his installation, and left for California and Boston—the home office of his company—a few days afterward. He expects to re- turn to Fairbanks in March or tional Council for Women, the Ad-| visory Council of which will meet xt Tuesday, February 4, at the| me of its president, Mrs. David | Waggoner, to complete plans for the occasion.
