A MEMORABLE MASONIC EVENT
Opening of the New Temple at Haverstraw
MANY THERE FROM NYACK
Third Degree Worked on Candidates
"The opening of the new Masonic Temple in Haverstraw by Stony Point Lodge, on Wednesday night, was a notable event in the history of Masonry in Rockland County. Delegations were present from Nyack, Suffern, Spring Valley, Closter, and other lodges, making the gathering of brethren a very large one.
The communication was presided over by W. Bro. Walter G. Hamilton, and third or Master Mason degree was worked on Wilson P. Foss, of Upper Nyack; C. N. Brownell, John E. Fowler and Denton Fowler DeBaun.
Justice A. S. Tompkins, of Nyack, Grand Junior Warden of the Grand Lodge of New York State, gave the historical lecture in an impressive manner. The work was exemplified by the Fellowcraft team of Stony Point Lodge. The evening was enlivened by the splendid choir and fine organ of the lodge. An elaborate repast was afterward served.
Bro. Foss was presented with a bound set of resolutions thanking him for securing to Stony Point Lodge the conditional bequest of the late Jacob E. Conklin which had lapsed. The temple is spacious and beautiful, and complete in all its appointments.
Those who attended from Nyack were:
T. F. Odell, F. J. English, Arthur Lydecker, G. W. Onderdonk, James Kilby. E. T. F. Randolph, Frederic Grunhold, Geo. S. Writer, A. S. Tompkins, M. H. Patterson, J. W. Pacey, H. P. Noll, J. P. Smith, J. Edmund Smith, L. W. Funk, N. L. Hendricks. Arthur Watson, George Polhemus, J. C. Zickler, A. C. Knapp, John Park, G. J. Littell, George Gates, W. Wyman, G. Quick, G. W. Taliman, John Waterson, Robert Halliday, J. R. Christie, R. Schmitt, Perry, C. Fluhr, C. H. Lydecker, A. H. Churchill, R. VV. Furman, Frank Zwahlen, Robert Morrow, F. R. Smith, M. V. Tessier. Clyde Garrabrant, Jav Satterlee, G. J. Corbett, W. S. Gedney, C. W. Bradway, W. A. Tompkins, Jacob Myers, Frank Cole, A. DeGroat, Pierre DePew, James Park, A. S. Rossborough, Gustave Allen.

MEMBERS OF EXEMPTION BOARD WERE HONORED.
"Fifth Annual Banquet of Business Men's Club Held in Appreciation of Their Labors for Government During War At Hotel St. George – 173 Diners at Tables.
Returned Hero Speaks.
When the coffee was served and cigars were distributed...Judge Thompson...first presented Captain John Park, who saw much service in Italy as an aviator and was decorated by King Emanuel, and the young man in khaki modestly told of his varied experiences and interjected a great deal of humor that was pleasing to his auditors.
Park said his part in the war was small and that the other men deserved more credit than he. He told of being stationed on one side of the Piave River and opposed to the Austrians. He was sent to Europe with little flying experience, he said, and when he reached France found there were no machines available for Americans. He was sent to a school in Turin, Italy, one afternoon, he stated, and in the same evening he was making flights. For a time he made trips across the Adriatic in the defense of Rome and after three months was sent to the front.
Park told of reaching an altitude of 23,000 feet and of flying in planes at the rate of 220 miles an hour. He described the wearing apparel of the men in the air and described flights at the height of 15 feet along Austrian trenches to clean out machine gun nests. He touched lightly on the danger and said that while at first he did not feel happy shooting down upon the enemies in the trenches he got to enjoy the work. He told of being hit in the back by a piece of shrapnel while flying and of being relieved by a man in the air. He was in a hospital when the armistice was signed and was sent home as a casualty case.
In conclusion he declared the people at home deserved more credit than the men in service and he was cheered to the echo by the diners, all of whom leaped to their feet to join in the demonstration..."
