TEMPLE TOMORROW (Continued ¥rom First Page) od and there will be a program of susic and dancing. 8i Yaftee's or- cheatra will play and John A. Lind- ssy will sing. There will be card playing for those who do not wish te dance. Buffet lunch will he ";:“hn been emphasized by the committee chairmen that while for- mal dress has been requested at the banquet and dedication ceremony. it s not essential. It also is emphu- sized that there are many Masons in the city who are not on the mall- ing list of local lodges and these should consider themselves included in the invitation. Started Temple Fund in 1924 The first movement towards the erection of a Masonic temple took place at a banquet following a meet- ing of Doric council, R. and 8. M, and in July 1924, 42 Masons con- tributed $25 each as a paid in capi- tal. The Masonic Temple corpora- tion was formed at that time, The first meeting of ‘he corpora- tion was held July 22, 1924, Th2 authorized capitalization was $50.- 000 of which $1,050 had been paid in. Enthusiasm ranged from a high Witch to a low ebb during the years that followed. Occasionally an en- tertainment or some social function was held and more money added to the fund. September 23, 1919, following the officlal welcome home banquet to the men who returned from the World War, the first real drive for funds was held. Other drives fol- lowed. Several parcels of ground were purchased and sold at a profit, always adding to the fund. The last piece of land to be sold was on West Main street between the Cennecticut Light and Power building and the post office. . Corner Stone Laid Last Year _ On October 26, 1926 the building committee was authorized to enter into a contract with Walter P. Crabtree, architect, for the erection of a building on West Main and Russell streets at a total cost of approximately $250,000. The con- tract was awarded to the W. H. Al- len Co., and on April 28, 1928, the corner stone was laid by Grand Mas- ter Robert 8, Walker of Waterbury. The building now is coriplete. Painters, plumbers and decorators added the last finishing touches to- day. Furniture was installed anl] lighting fixtures connected yester- day. Willlam Vile of 35 Park Place has accepted the position of build- ing superintendent. The building itself is a thing of beauty and it seems fitting that it rhould face New Britain's attractive memorial, surmounting Wainut Hill park. Standing at the corner of West Main and Russell streets, the | main entrance on West Main street | and the public entrance on Russell street, it is a work of art which car- | ries with it all the traditions of clent craft and operative as well as the more modern speculative masonry. > b Striking Interior | “* %Fhe ntuim entrance is reached bv) broad New Hampshire granite steps surmoynted by massive bronze doors, | through which one enters a beau ful foyer, impressive in its striking | and eoloring effects. Opening off the | foyer on the right is the main stair- | way, the coat rooms, the lounge and the library. On the left is a social hall or card room. The lounge and library are furiished luxuricusly with leather upholstered furniture, casy chairs and fireplaces. A fire place sur- niounted by the Masonic square and compass is found in the social room also. A snill lodge room with seating ~apacity for 96_is on this floor with | ooms for tiler, candidates and offi- | cers and lockers for the secretary. A broad staircase Icads from the right of the foyer to the sccond floor | where the main lodge room is In-i cated. This room has a seating capacity for 326 with ample room for as many more. Seats for mem- bers and officers and the alter top are upholstered in rich blue mohair. Seats are fixed, theater style, while the carpet is of the same hue to match the general color acheme. On the third or mezsanine floor are room for directors and secrc- taries, meeting rooms for commit- tees and for Asziz Grotto, cedar closets, store rooms and upholstered furniture in the hallways. Space for a pipe organ and choir gallery gives promise of other things to come. The assembly room and dining ball on the ground floor opens off Russell street, connects directly with a completely equipped Kkitchen through a series of serving windows and counters. A ladies’ rest room and men's smoking room open off these floors. The last meeting in the old Masonic hall in the city building was held last evening by Martha Chap- ter, 0. E. 8. Immediately off the main auditor- jum between the stage and the kitchen is a smaller dining roum, which will accommeodate 60 persons. The building has two rear and two main entrances and two stair- ways. A gas burning incinerator is installed in the kitchen. The build- ing will be heated by a modern oil burner. One set of brass andirons for one of the fire places was pre- sented by William Cowlishaw. Masonic emblems are found on all the chairs, door knobs and bronze- work throughout the building. A 20 foot flagpole was attached to the West Main street front this after- noon. Hart & Hutchison steel cabinets and concealed radiators are installed throughout. Bronze door knockers are in the new Russell & Erwin modernistic style. MEDALS ARE GIVEN Highest Honors Awarded Spou- sors of “Artificial Lung” naval officers and the civilian en- gineer who were responsible for the invention and testing of the subma- rine “lung” escape device today re- ceived the highest honors the presi- dent and the navy department could confer. of President Hoover, awarded the distinguished service medal to Lieut, Charles B. Momsen and Chief Gun- ner Clarence L. Tibbals, who tested the device, escaping by means of it from depths as great as 206 fect. The navy department made a cash award of a year's pay to Frank M. Hobson, civilian engineer of the bu- reau of construction and repair, who was assisted by the others in work- ing out the invention, Tibbals already has reccived the navy cross in recognition of his part in the raising of the submarine S-4. Lieut. Momsen made a preliminary test of the lung at the time the 8-4 was refloated. Morrows Not Rud} ‘ With Wedding Plans New York, May 10 UP—The As- sociated Press today received from Mrs. Dwight W. Morrow's secretary a telegram stating that “Mr. and Mrs. Morrow have no 'announece- ments to make at the present time regarding the wedding of their daughter. Anne Spencer Morrow, to Colonel Charles Lindbergh.” The wire stated that announce- ments would be turned over to members of the press “when they are issued.” ADDITIONAL N OF HEARING MARY LKLS of Waterbury vs. BENNIE POVALKLS of Parts Unknown New Haven County, Superior Court, New Haven, Conn., April 929, COMPLAINT FOR DIVORCE Ordered, that additional notice of the pendency of the complaint in the above entitled case b2 given by publishing this order in the New Britain Herald, a news- paper published in said Hartford Cout once a week for 2 weeks successively be xinning on or before the 4th day of May, 1929, By the Court. T. HERBERT BISHOP, Assistant Clerk. T0 NAVAL HEROES Washington, May 10 P—The two | Secretary Adams, at the direction | Judge Saxe whose likeness ap- peared in the Herald's silhouette columns last evening has every reason | to pat himself on the back for a| goodly number of letters were hand- ed in saying lots and lots of nice things about him. We just know that he will say “fine” when he sees the prige winning letter, and let's all unite in giving thanks that he isn't on the bench when he pulls that “fine” stuff.” Mrs. Ray C. Young, | 225 West Main street, gets the dollar for the following letter: Although a comparatively new- comer to New Britain, I could not fail to recognize in Thursday's sil- houette so distinguished a citizen as Morris D. S8axe, member of the law firm Hungerford & Saxe, 300 Main street and judge of the city and po- lice court of New Britain. Judge "Saxe is a member of some of the social clubs of the city and can be depended upon to lend his moral and financial support to any worthy cause for the betterment of the city and its people. In a city of notable men. he is outstanding for his integrity and scrupulous fairness in his dealings with everyone. i At last, at last. the mills of the gods grind slow—the likeness dis- played tonight gives the editor u long felt itching to get at this gen- tleman who is noted for his rcparteo | which borders on flippancy some- | |times when he is sure that his re- | marks can be interpreted by a nice | big open mind. His business Is that intangible something which ripens into greater turn over in sales. He helps you inject “pep” into your business. He ran for the council | not 5o many moons ago, but the| primaries saw him in the arrears be- | cause of the fact that he was but a | short time in New Britain. We al have hopes that he will run again | and grace “marble hall” with his august presence. Who is it? Surely | the local Lions should know him. If you put an umlaut over a certain| letter in this gentleman's name, you'll have a word in German that | characterizes him not without merit. | ' RULES OF SILHOUETTE CONTEST 1.—Identify likeness. 2.—Describe how he makes livel hood 3.—Address communications to “Silhouette™ LEditor, New Britain Herald 4.—Contest closes at 2 p. m. tol- lowing insertion—Saturday 10 a. m 5.—Answers may be mailed or brought to the Herald oftice. 6.—Credit given for neatness. 7.=One dollar awarded .daily for best answer according tr SEWERS IN STANLEY COURT Notice is hereby given that a hearing will be held before the Board of Public Works, City of New Britain, in Room 307, City Hall ut 6:30 p. m.
