18 As I only wanted a few statistics about Rockyford, I will continue this book by adding a few letters of Information about the next lodge to receive this Gavel. Crossfield Masonic Hall 1102 Osler Ave. Crossfield, Alberta Carstairs Lodge No. 20 moved into this hall for their 1992 June Installation, quite appropriate as on 8th April 1910 under dispensation from Carstairs Lodge No 20, the institutional ceremonies for Crossfield Lodge No 48 began. It should also be mentioned that this hall was designed around a “Masonic Carpet” which a Crossfield brother had bought when the Calgary Masonic Hall was demolished to make way for the Hudson Bay Store. Meetings are held the second Thursday of each month at 7:30 PM W. Bro. Rick Howes 6 George Street Wyong, N.S.W. Australia. (With exception of July and Aug) 2 nd Lodge to receive this Gavel Carstairs Lodge # 20 A.F. & A.M., G.R.A. Crossfield ~ Alberta Glenn Sawyers Worshipful Master 1995/96 14 Everglade Drive Telephone Airdrie, Alberta Res: (403) 948-2635 TB4 2E8 Bus: (403) 275-3340 11 th December 1995
19 I am please to advice that Canada No. 9 Travelling Gavel has been presented to; Wor. Bro. J. W. Kopp, 104 Park Road, Strathmore, Alberta, T1P 1H7, at Strathmore Lodge No. 53, G.R.A. on December 4 th 1995, on the occasion of their Games Dinner Night. In spite, of this day beginning with a fierce wind and snow storm, the temperature reaching more than 30% below zero Celsius, there was an excellent turnout, a wonderful dinner and warm fraternal fellowship. Two Past Grand Masters were present along with two District deputy Grand Masters. As well, the Junior Warden for Strathmore on that evening was an Australian who was very proud to have his Lodge receive this Gavel Strathmore is a prairie town, noted for cash crops of wheat and grain, cattle and oil, both petroleum and canola. The farmers land holdings are very large, and while it is a prairie town, the Rockies are easily in view most days even though they are located about 200 km to the west. Summer days are long and hot and as you can see winter days are short and cold. I am enclosing a picture of the Gavel, resting on a fine wooden case, built and donated by one of our members, Jack Hildebrand. He thought that the Gavel being of such good workmanship and beauty, deserved to be enclosed in a suitable case for protection and display. The Gavel has served our Lodge very well, each time we visit now we take enough members to form a Lodge (7); we attract visitors and as well, now have three candidates on the trestle board for various degrees. This is due in no small part to your efforts and I sincerely trust that you will receive similar reports from around the world, wherever your workmanship is displayed. With Kindest Fraternal Regards, Glenn Sawyers Here is a little more information about Carstairs Lodge No. 53. This next section was written by Rt. W. Bro. Vic Ramsbottom, who is the Grand Historian of Alberta Grand Lodge. (1) On Wednesday 5 th July, I drove to a town South of Calgary and picked up W. Bro. Ian Vaughan of Wyong Lodge No. 247, NSW, Australia and his Lady Jenny, took them to ―Brunch‖ at the Calgary Tower‖ (Like Centre Point); (2) arranged a meeting with the Grand Secretary and Grand Master, M. W. Bro. Gordon Macaulay (short notice) to have your Gavel presented by W. Bro. Ian Vaughan.
