WITH ROD THOMAS

Christmas for Jesse C. Smith of
the Potomac Lodge team in the
Masonic Bowling Association,
which rolls at Colonial Village.
1T will be his 82d birthday, and
he probably is Washington's old
est regular bowler.
I Mr.. Smith is a member of
King David Lodge. which with
drew from the league Is years
ago, but that didn't prevent him
from carrying on. He got Ray
Cross, perennial Masonic bowl
ing executive, to assign him to
another team. And that's the
way it's been ever since. Just
before the start of each season,
it's ritual that Mr.. Smith inquire
iot Cross: Ray, which team this
time?"
In recognition of his faithful
ness to the league. the Masons
Friday night presented Mr..
Smith with a travelling bag,
along with a box of candy for
Mrs. Smith. Officiating at the
ceremony was Worshipful Grand
Master Samue. w. Mcintosh.
Mr.. Smith averages a rather
remarkable 90. He plans to enter
the Bowlers Victory Legion tour
nament next month and it would
surprise none of his bowling
companions if he captured a
prize. Ten years ago, at the age
of 70, in competition with many
thousands. he won it.
