NEWS OF
EMPLE LODG :.
No. W1 9

On Thursday evening of this
week, January 10, Temple Lodge
No. 9, A. F. and A. NJ, celebrated
its 141st anniversary. The special
program was arranged by Past
Grand Master Haswell Pierce and
committee, quite appropriately
commemorated the life of the first
member of Temple Lodge to be
selected as Grand Master of Del
aware, Joseph Oliver. 1t was in
1916 that Temple Lodge was in
stituted and P. G. NJ. oliver took
most active part in the estab-
lishment. He served two terms as
Grand Master: in 1884 and 1885.
The fact, too, that Mr.. Oliver was
the founder of Milford, makes him
an historical figure of this COM
munity and worthy of the honor
done him by the Masons at the
Thursday night meeting.
The coffee hour started prompt
ly at 10 p. m. A large birthday
cake, marking the 141st anniver-
sary, was cut and served.
Worshipful Master Isaacs calls
particular attention to the change
in meeting night, from Friday to
Thursday. This change was au-
thorized in due form at the last
meeting after the careful survey
of the membership revealed that
Thursday nights would be more
convenient for the greatest num-
ber of members to attend the stat
ed meetings.

Senator Lemuel Hickman, Bayard !;

All indicated they favor any pro-
gram that will bring the ferry to
reality.
A study is now being conducted
by the New York engineering firm
of Parsons, Brinckerhoff, Hall &
Macdonald, to ascertain whether
the project would be sound finan-
cially.
However, in the opinion of New
Jersey State Senator Charles w.
Sandman, even an unfavorable re-
port from the firm would not mean
the end of the project. He said the
answer in that case would be crea-
tiOn of a joint commission or au-
thority between the states to over
come the difficulty "as New Jersey
has done so successfully with
Pennsylvania and New York"
Senator Sandman assured the
Delawareans that the project has
the backing of New Jersey Gov.
Robert B. Meyner, and the COM
missioners of the Garden State
Parkway, at the end of which the
ferry would be located, and of all
members of the New Jersey Senate.
The ocean-going ferries would
cost $3,000,O00 each, and would
make the 25-mile trip in about rs
minutes.

As to Mr.. Weimer's view
