GERALD ALLEN' I A Tribute I Nearly two thousand years age | there lived and moved among men He who is regarded by millions at the perfect Portrayer of the Supreme Architect of the Universe. Countless volumes have been written concerning Him. but perhaps none better summarizes His life among men that the very simple statement, "He went about doing good". He was the Champion of the underprivileged. He was the Protector of the defenseless and the aged. And He was the Friend of little children. When ne held in his arms a speechless babe upon whom he spoke the benedictions of heaven. God was more like Himself than in winds, and waves, and clouds. The subject of this humble tribute, E. Gerald Allen mirrored forth these qualities of his Master. Gerald Allen was an active Mason from the time he became of lawful ate and was at the time of his death the honored Senior Warden of Johnston-Caswell Lodge. Not all Masons are members of the craft. To be a Mason one has first to be Prepared in his heart, and had Gerald Allen never take a masonic obligation, he would have still been a Mason at heart because he pos5esscd those qualities which make a man a Mason. He was in every sense a worthy member of the craft but was most distinguished for his charity which was extended not only to his bretheren but to all persons who had need of a friend. This community shall ever remember him as the friend of childTen.

The 35 names left on the outside pauper list will increase the county's expenditures by $106.00 per month. This money is to be paid from an appropriation of $1200 which was made by the commissioners for relief purposes when the budget was being made out several months ago. Had the list been adopted as it wa$ turned over to the county and the same generosity accorded, the county would have been called on to spend $1440 per month for relief purposes. These people who were on the direct relief roll were receiving an average of $4.50 per week when they were being cared for by the Emergency Relief Office. In shaving down the list, the commissioners studied carefully the names 01 tnose wno were nstea as charity patients and wherever it appeared to them that an appropriation was not absolutely necessary the name was marked through.
