Latham, as a memorial to her husband who died April 16, will give North Carolina Masons and Eastern Stars full realization of a dream which they had parti ally' fulfilled when they started constructionon the home in 1912, when they added two wings in 19 22, when they opened a small in firmary in 1937, and when they built a religious chapel in 1940. ' Soon they will have lull facili ties where the aged, members of the two orders may row accord ing to Browning's poem: "Grow old along with me, the best is yet to be -- the last of life for which the first was made." , The hospital will be erected just north of the main building, which it win join by an enclosed passage-1 way; The $65,000 structure will be of brick and stone, two story, and will Include an elevator, diet kit chen, administrative offices and up-to-date hospital facilities. Con struction is slated as soon as con ditions permit ' ' A building committee for mak ing hospital arrangements and equipping the building upon com pletion has been announced by William M. , York,1 Greensboro, chairman of the home's board of directors. On this committee are Benjamin Cone, chairman, L. M. Johnson and Mrs. Clyde Fitzger ald, all of Greensboro and the home's board of directors. Looking toward possibility of later erection of a hospital, the home in 1937, under management of the present superintendent, Geo. R. Bennette, erected a small in firmary, to care for bed patients. Thath as been filled to capacity since the first month, and more room has been needed ever since. Superintendent Bennette stated that as old persons grow older, bed patients increase accordingly. Mr. Latham, for whom the hos pital will be named Latham Mem orial Hospital, held the 32nd Ma sonic degree and gave his time, talents and means toward erect Ion and operation of the home. Mr. Latham was elected a mem ber of the board of directors on January 14,. 1914, two days after the .home was officially opened, and served in that capacity for over 32 years, the longest . term ever held. He was beloved by all the guests of the home, and al ways showed a keen Interest in their , welfare. Bennette stated thrat never a Christmas passed that Mr. Latham did not remem ber each guest in a substantial way. y,rrt: a x . xrf : For the approximately 65 guests of the home, erection of the new hospital will be another of the home's measures in their behalf. There, today, is a happy group living, contentedly together under the portals of the home. It is a remarkable feature of the home that it is amazingly free from an Institutional! atmosphere. It is maintained as nearly as possible like a private home, with' the guests free to live as they please, and pursue their own Interests. ..Guests of the home busy them selves in a variety of ways; men have small crafts and hobbies, and women have fancy work, crochet ings and sewing to their liking. Others find comfort and pleasure in conversation; reading or just sitting and rocking. 1 Scores of elderly persons dur- I l "j these three decades have found FRIDAY, MAY 10th., If peace and happiness there. The oldest Mason to have lived In the home was Rev. J. V. Well ons, who died at the age of 101 1-2 years. The oldest woman guest, Mrs. Marti tia Mann, lived to be 101 1-3 years, which seems to bear out the remark once made by a Mason, that guests In the home are so well cared for, so happy and contented, that they have nothing to die for.
