Grand Secretary Pete Dudley was elected first vice president of the Grand Secretaries Conference of North America. This puts Brother Pete on a collision course with that organization’s presidency at their next gath ering in 1993. He will be the first North Carolina Grand Lodge secretary to serve in that position. The Grand Secretaries Con ference includes the Grand Lodges in Canada, Mexico, and the United States and has existed for 64 years. Dudley has served as grand secretary of the North Carolina Grand Lodge since 1974. Grand Treasurer Jerry G. Tart was elected Sovereign Grand Master of the Grand Coun cil of the Allied Masonic Degrees of the United States. He was installed at their 100th Anniversary Session in Washington, D.C. Tart was elected Grand Master of Masons in North Carolina in 1989. We can all take pride in the fact that our own elective choices have been mirrored by other Masons on a national level. It is a source of pride for each Mason in North Carolina as well as Dudley and Tart. Misunderstandings in the Northwest Over the past several years, eight Ameri can Grand Lodges have recognized, to vary ing extents, Prince Hall Grand Lodges. The latest case is in Idaho. As a result, the Grand Lodge of Oregon has dropped its recogni tion of the Grand Lodge of Idaho. At the Idaho Grand Lodge annual com munication in September, 1991, their Spe cial Committee on Prince Hall Masonry pre sented their report. They concluded that “Prince Hall Masonry emanated from the Grand Lodge of England,” and was “legally formed.” They further concluded that a Grand Lodge “is either regular and entitled to rec ognition or it is not entitled to any recogni tion at all.” They therefor recommended exchanging full fraternal recognition. The Grand Lodge approved the recomendation. There is no Prince Hall Grand Lodge in Idaho. The Prince Hall lodge meeting in the town of Mountain Home, Idaho is main ¬ tained by the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Oregon which is not a Masonic body recog nized by the Grand Lodge of Oregon. Grand Master of Masons in Oregon Ivan Rinck, citing their constitutional claim as “the only source of authority over matters pertaining to Ancient Craft Masonry in the State of Oregon,” and the fact that they “did not agree to share (their) Jurisdiction,” sus pended fraternal relations with Idaho. That is where things stand as of this writ ing. Idaho joined Nebraska in offering full recognition to Prince Hall Grand Lodges. Grand Lodges offering recognition only for visitation purposes are Connecticut, Wash ington, Wisconsin, Colorado, Minnesota, and North Dakota. — sources: Oregon Masonic News, Janu ary, 1992, and February, 1992; and Ameri can Masonic Review, March, 1992.

Statesville — The Masons and Eastern Stars of Iredell County have banded to gether for a third straight year to hold a bloodmobile. Statesville #27. Olin #226. Harmony #229. Campbell #374. Grassy Knob # 4’1. Mooresville #496. Snow Creek #571. and Mount Moriah #690 participated in January's Masonic Community Blood mobile. More than 50 Masons volunteered over 700 hours in sponsoring the event. Duties included baking cookies, serving hot cook ies and drinks to blood donors, assisting nurses, setting up. and cleaning up. Olin #226 received the Simmons P. Boyd Award in recognition of the highest number of blood units contributed against goal. Boyd, whose name the trophy carries, was an active member of Statesville #27. DeMolay. and the Shrine. Bill Sharpe, past master of Grassy Knob #471 got the Chairman’s Award for the most individual pledges (168). To get participants out for the 11 hour drive, the lodges used newspaper articles, radio ads. signs and banners, pledge cards, and personal contacts. It apparently worked as they managed their most successful bleed- mobile ever. They brought in an impressive 471 units.That's up from last year’s record 357. Plans have already begun for a 1993 edition and volunteers are being called for now. But be forewarned, the goal next January 2 is 600 units. — from The Trestlebeard.
