KERR LODGE NOW FIFTY YEARS OLD Founded at Belle Ewart in 1870-- Members Celebrate 50th Anniversary. Fifty years ago yesterday-- July 14, 1870, Kerr Lodge, No. 230, A.F, and A.M., received its charter, It was named after the late Senator Kerr, who was Grand Master that year, and was located in Belle Ewart. his pretty lit- tle lakeside village did not boast of any summer resorters in those days, but it was a thriving busi- ness centre. Kerr's first lodge room was a big contrast to the handsome quarters now available | for the brethren in the Masonic Temple, being situated over the drive shed at E. V. Hanmer's hotel, Belle Ewart. J. W. H. Wil- son was the first W.M., and the first Mason to be "made" by Kerr was E. V, Hanmer, The charter members were RB. Burns, Rich. Flood, H. Grose, C. H. Kermott, P, McKay, W. A. Spooner and J. W. HB. Wilson. In 1884 the lodge was moved to Barrie, the first Master to preside over the Lodge here being W. Downie, af- terwards a Divisional Supt. for the C.P.R., and now living re- tired in Whitby. Through the years Kerr Lodge has progress- ed in numbers and usefulnes: the present membership being now considerably over 200, Dur- ing its fifty years Kerr has hon- ored but three members with an honorary life membership-- the late Daniel Spry, the late Sena- tor Kerr, and Fred Marr.

(Continued on page 5) Only Son Drowned Douglas Mullen, only child of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Mullen, Lindsay, and grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Mullen, McDonald 8t., Barrie, was drowned at Sturgeon Point, Sturgeon Lake, on June 30. The lad and his father, af- ter finishing their noonday meal, wert down to the lake to take a sail. While the father went tp get his skiff, the boy joined™an- other lad on the dock. While stepping out of the way of his chum, Douglas tripped on a piece of iron and fell into the lake. Whether he was stunned by the fall backwards, choked, or whether the shock of the fall into the water was'too much for him will never be known. His companion, running to his home to give the alarm, found no one there and it was some twenty minutes before the body was brought to shore, apparently lifeless. Three doctors. worked jover the young form for hours jand, although once they- succeed ed in getting a faint sign of life, their -efforts were futile. ~ Mr. Mullen was not acquaint. ed with the affair until a lady ran to him asking his assistance in getting a boy out of the water, Imagine his surprise and horror when he found that it was his own son who had met with the accident. Of the dead lad, the Li Watchman-Warder Pi pdey "The boy's disposition was such as Lo endear him to the hearts of all who knew him, He Was bright and cheery, kind and manly; was loved by teachers and scholars of both the Publio School and Sunday School. At school he was one of the most obedient pupils, as well as clever' and from: term to term was fre- quently head of the class, Be- ing fond of music he was quite capable with the violin. The young lad was also a book-worm, and had a wonderful boy's lib- rary. He was fond of. outdoor life, took delight in snowshoeing, tobogganing, skating, baseball and other manly sports, He was one of the prime movers among his playmates in their sports, and also greatly interested in ama- teur plays and concerts present- ed by school chums-in North Ward, the caste never seemed to he complete without Douglas. His young mind was filled with original ideas and he usually had a suggestion and plan for his playmates, He was just eleven years and eleven months old on the day the tragedy brought to an pnd his bright and promising career." Motored to Adirondacks and Mrs. 8, W. Moore re- ed last Thursday night after an enjoyable motor trip of twelve entering the United States at Niagara Falls they _ motored, along the "Million Dollar High- way fo Rochester, -- thence through Utiea, Syracuse and other places to Dolgeville, N.Y., to visit a sister of Mrs. Moore's, Making this their headquarters, they made 00-mile trips every enjoying particularly the 'sin the Adirondacks and the picturesque scenery of the Mo- hawk Vall The highest point reached was Canada Lake which is 2800 feel. above sea level. One thing that impressed Mr. Moore was the evidences of pros- perily on all sides in New York State; buildings were well paint- ed and the places had p very neat appearance, To the motorist the roads are a joy. 'he speed limit in the country is 30 miles, but motorists seem permitted to travel as fast as they like so long as they do not endanger traffic of which there is plenty on the highways. 'The trip covered over 1100 miles and hy far the worst roads were found between Kingston and Napanee. On their homeward trip, Mr. and Mrs. Moore took the hoat at Gape Vincent, N.Y. and enjoyed a sail through the Thousand Is- lands to Kingston whence they motored along Lake Ontario to Yoronto and then home.
