The above three photos relate to W.B. Al White receiving his Lewis Jewel from M.W. Bro's Don Finan & Pat Hutchison.  Al's Dad was a Mason & was involved in raising Al to the Sublime Degree of a Master Mason.  Also shown in the photo is V.W. Bernie Meisner, Master of the Lodge; R.W. Bro. Len Prior,  DDGM for District 7, who was attending on lhis Official Visit.

M.W. Bro. Hutchison & V.W. Bro. Gibbons presented M.W. Bro. Finan with a pair of "Guinness" pajamas.  It seems that Don was complaining of being cold during his march with the Shrine at the North Battleford Remembrance Day Parade on Nov. 11th.  These should keep him warm.  By the way, Guinness is rumored to be one of his favorite beverages!

R.W. Bill Bryce delivering the Traveling Mall, from Britannia #23, Lloydminster.  Bill is a Member of both Britannia & Ionic.  The Traveling Mall is a beautiful instrument, that is to be moved to & from the various Lodges within the District to encourage Visitation.  It is now incumbent on the Members of Ionic to deliver it to another Lodge in the near Future.
