AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE OFFICERS AND COMPANIONS OF

GRAND CHAPTER OF ROYAL ARCH MASONS OF ALBERTA I have examined the books of account of Grand Chapter of Royal

Arch Masons of Alberta as maintained by the Grand Scribe E. and the Grand Treasurer and have prepared therefrom the balance sheet of Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons of Alberta as at February 29th, 1972, and the statements of revenue and expenditures and receipts and payments for the year ended on that date. My examination included a general review of the accounting procedures and such tests of account­ing records and other supporting evidence as I considered necessary in the circumstances.

I did not confirm the balance due from or owing to Constituent Chapters as at February 29th, 1972.

Subject to the above comment, in my opinion, these financial statements present fairly the financial position of the Grand Chapter as at February 29th, 1972, and the results of its operations for the year ended on that date, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.

Grand Chapter of Manitoba

Most Ill. Arthur L. Lamont, G.C.C., Grand Sovereign of Grand Im­perial Conclave of Canada Red Cross of Constantine, and also a P.G.Z. of Manitoba, brought fraternal greetings and spoke briefly. Conditions of Capitular Masonry

M.E. Comp. L. J. Daniels, ·Chairman:-M.E. Sir and Companions, your Committee on the Conditions of Capitular Masonry in the jurisdic­tion report as follows:-

We have carefully examined the returns of the thirty Chapters and the five Grand Superintendents reporting to the Grand Scribe E. , at the close of the Grand Chapter y•ear, as provided by the Constitution , the reports are summarized as follows :-

District No. 1-R.E. Comp. R. H. Miller reports that interest in the Chapters of District No. 1 is generally good and attendance fair. The work in the city Chapters in particular is very good. He feels that moving Edson Chapter to Hinton was a wise move as it helped Edson Chapter considerably.

The Grand Superintendent regrets that he was unable to arrange for an official visit to Wapiti Chapter No. 34, due to a distinct lack of communication with this Chapter. Appariently three dates for the Grand Superintendent 's visit were agreed to and then called off by Wapiti as being unsuitable.

The District meeting was held October 9th , 1971 , hosted by Nor­wood Chapter No. 18. All Chapters of the District were represented except Wapiti No. 34. R.E. Comp. C. A. Breakey, G.S.N., gave a very interesting talk on " Why Masons Become Roy.al Arch Masons". An im­pressive Memorial Service was held in memory of the R.A. Masons of District No. 1, who had passed to the Grand Chapter Above during the year. R.E. Comp. John McKee of North Star Chapter No. 2 was elected Grand Superintendent for the 1972-73 term. All Chapters represented reported in satisfactory financial position. M.E. Comp. C. C. G. Duthie, G.Z. addressed the meeting. One outstanding event should be recorded , which was the celebration of the Seventy-Fifth Anniversary of North Star Chapter No. 2. This took place on September 18th, 1971, and was attended by the Officers and Companions, accompanied by their ladies, as well as guests from the city Chapters. Also present were M.E. Comp. C. C. G. Duthie, G.Z.; R.E. Comp. 0. P. Thomas, G.H. and R.E. Comp. Eric Mulder, G.J. Congratulations to North Star Chapter. District No. 1 lost 14 Companions during the year.

Wapiti Chapter No. 34 has not made an Annual Report to Grand Scribe E. as provided by the Constitution.

District No. 2-No report received.

District No. 3-Grand Superintendent R.E. Comp. Peter Halkett. A perusal of the reports of visits of thie District Superintendent indicates that all Chapters in District No. 3 are financially sound. The degree work good . Some Chapters are experiencing difficulty with attendance. Average attendance for the year of all Chapters in District No. 3, 17.3 % .

Crescent Chapter No. 24 continued with its tradition.al combined installation and Ladies' Night in January, which , as usual was a huge success.

Otuskwan Chapter No. 9 and Calgary Chapter No. 11 held a joint installation, as usual , but topped it off with a Ladies' Night Banquet and Dance, which was well attended and highly successful.

Ex. Comp. C. E. Glover was elected Grand Superintendent to succeed R.E . Comp. Halkett at the District Meeting.

24

Keystone Chapter No. 12 has not made a return to Grand Scribe E. as provided by the Constitution.

On April 8th, 1972, approximately fifteen Montana Companions, representing four Chapters, together with their ladies were guests of the four Calgary Chapters. During the afternoon, while the ladies were being entertained at a Wine & Cheese Party, th•e assembled Companions in Crescent Chapter took part in the conferring of the M.E.M. Degree on sixteen candidates. A banquet followed, attended by 129 Companions and ladies. The social evening was continued by dancing until near mid­night. Then, on Sunday morning, a breakfast was served to approx. 120 Companions and ladies, before th·e Montana visitors departed for home.

District No. 4-R.E. Comp. Ross Mouser reports that he visi ted all Chapters in District No. 4 at least twice during his term of office. All Chapters are in good financial position . Some Chapters have difficulty in putting on degree work, due to poor attendance of officers. In some cases officers are serving repeat terms. In some Chapters, new members are advanced in office before having time to become properly acquainted with the work. The meetings of all Chapters are followed by an hour of good fellowship.

On December 11th, 1971, he attended the joint installation of She­kinah Chapter No. 4, Kether Chapter No. 8 and Hillvue Chapter No. 15. Also, on December 14th, 1971 , he attended the joint installation of Golden West Chapter No. 5 and Tau Cross ·Chapter No. 16. He was officially and well received in all Chapters in the District.

The District Meeting was held at Claresholm and hosted by Tau Cross Chapter No. 16 on November 13th, 1971, attended by 44 Com­panions. All Chapters of District No. 4 were represented. E. Comp. Charles Simmons of Golden West Chapter No. 5 was elected Grand Superintendent. M.E. Comp. Duthie presented Comp. Duffield with a Jewel and Scroll for his efficient work as Grand Superintendent for the year 1970-71. Finally, R.E. Comp. Mouser commented as follows:-" ! would like to thank the Companions of District No. 4 for allowing me to serve as their Grand Superintendent for the past year and wish my successor every success during his term. It has been a very rich and rewarding experience, that I will always remember".

District No. 5-Grand Superintendent R.E. Comp. A. L. Ginter re­ports that he has visited each Chapter in District No. 5 at least once and some, several times. There is good interest in Royal Arch Masonry among the regular attenders, although attendance is a problem in most Chapters. Viking No. 32, because of poor attendance had considered the advisability of surrendering its Charter. However, a number of Com­panions rallied to the support of the •Chapter and have given it new impetus and it is hoped that Viking will now be able to carry on. Other Chapters in the District have offered to help. In spite of their difficulties, the Companions of Viking Chapter continue to do excellen work.

Mount Olivet Chapter No. 17, although the amalgamation of Hamar Chapter No. 33 gave this Chapter a large increase in membership, it has not as yet solved its attendance probl1em, but it is hoped that this con­dition will improve as members of this scattered Chapter are contacted personally or by letter.

Parklands Chapter No. 31 has suffered a slump due to its dependence on army personnel, who are frequently transferred, but the remaining resident members and officers are ~een and proficient in the work.

25

Bethel Chapter No. 36, always a pleasure to visit this active Chapter, noted for its hospitality. Without doubt the most active Chapter in District No. 5 and has a bright future. M.E. Bert James a good influence here.

Cold Lake Chapter No. 39, I visited this Chapter June 5th, in com­pany with M.E. Comp. C. C. G. Duthie, G.Z., R.E. Comp. 0. P. Thomas and R.E. Comp. Eric Mulder, G.J., together with a bus load of Com­panions from Edmonton. The R.A. Degree was conferred on several Companions. Future looks good for Cold Lake Chapter.

The District Meeting was held at Killam Nov.ember 6th, 1971. Fifty Companions attended , includ ing the Grand First, Second and Third Principals, as well as M.E. Comp. Bert James, P.G.Z., and M.E. Comp. George Grieve, P.G.Z. All Chapters of District No. 5 were represented V.E. Comp. Allan Brennan, Bethel Chapter No. 36, was elected Grand Superintendent for 1972-73.

Distr·ict No. 6-R.E. Comp. E. G. Phillipson, Grand Superintendent, reports that he made one official visit to each Chapter in his District. In all cases the weather was good to excellent.

Apparently a District Meeting was held in Medicine Hat on October 30th , 1971, but no details given.

It would appear from a perusal of the returns from several Chapters in the District that all are financially sound.

We find that two Chapters, Keystone No. 12 and Viking No. 32, at tl1is time, have not made an Annual Return to the Grand Scribe E., as required by the Constitution.

Also, the Grand Superintendent of District No. 2 has not reported.

Some of the Grand Superintendents submit excellent reports of their work during the year, which we regret we are unable to publish in their entirety, because of space limitations in the proceedings. Other reports are so scanty as to give practically no details at all. We suggest

26

that the Grand Superintendents in future, be instructed in the duties of the office. It should be impressed that the Grand Superintendent should see that the Scribe E. of each Chapter makes the return to Grand Chapter as provided by the Constitution. Several Grand Superintendents reports did not contain details of their District Meetings.

We ~ecommend that the rank of R.E. Companion be conferred on:

R.E. Comp. R. H. Miller

R.E. Comp. R. Hutton

R.E. Comp. P. Halket

R.E. Comp. R. Mouser

Observations and Conclusions

One of the most pleasing duties a Grand Officer has to do is to visit your Chapter. He notices the efficiency of your Scribe E. and the Officers. Also, the so called " Faithful Few" , without which a Chapter cannot operate successfully. There is room for a few more in every Chapter.

Your reception is sinoere and pleasing, the friendly attitude of your members is greatly appreciated.

Just such an organization as any Mason would like to be a part of.

We need them and their enthusiasm. As the saying goes, you are supplied with all the tools necessary, just the Spirit to use them is what is necessary. Are we not too prone to sit back and wonder what is wrong with Masonry, when we should be thinking, what is right about it.

Our Lodges and Chapters have withstood the trials for many ages now, and will be what they are for many mor,e. It is still a beautiful System of Morality, veiled in Allegory and illustrated by Symbols.

I can tell you now that there is a distinct change this year. We, in Alberta, should be satisfied and grateful that we have shown a great step forward to better days. We will show a decrease of only 29 this year, brought about by the hard work and enthusiasm of a handful of Chapters which will be shown in the Proceedings. We can only wish that their good work will be an incentive to th,e other Chapters, to copy their example, and thus bring back prosperity to Royal Arch Masonry.

What interest or hobby could be less expensive than Masonry? and more rewarding?

To the Grand Council and Past Grand Principals and my Officers, I can just say this, you were grand to be associated with.

Fraternally and Sincerely Submitted

Companions of Our Own and Sister Jurisdictions

FOR THE YEAR 1972

"A little sun, a little rain, A little loss, a little gain,

A little joy, a little s trife, And this is life.

A little work, a little play, One kind deed done each passing day,

A few good-byes, a setting sun, And life is done.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON FRATERNAL DEAD

Most Excellent Sir and Companions:

A year has passed since we last assembled in this Grand Chapter and since that time seventy-six worthy beloved Companions of this jur­isdiction have been called to the Grand Chapter above.

Faces we loved have vanished , In the darkne~s of the night, Sturdy souls have left us For the realms of Peace and Light.

It is only proper that in The Scheme of the Great Creator, that the veil of uncertainty should shroud the exactness of the call that everyone must answer but the way of this passing will be made easier and more hopeful according to the degree of faith we possess , in the certainty of Eternal Life and the forgiving goodness of our Heavenly Father.

We pause once. again in our deliberations to recall to our memory the path that each of these beloved Companions has hewn and trod be­fore us, leaving us a trail to follow and an excelsior highway to complete. We recall their words of wisdom, their smiles of encouragement, their example of devoted labor to our craft, their hearty handshake, their love and their devotion and we thank The Great Jehovah for the privi­lege of having :;hared a short distance on this earthly road, with them.

To their families and loved ones who remain we offer our deepest sympathy and share with them the great loss that we all fee.I.

Their earthly remains have been reverently placed in hallowed ground beneath the clods of the valley. Their memory we cherish in our hearts. Their Spirit we commend to God who gave it.

During the year we have been informed of the passing of thirty­seven G.H .P.'s and Z.'s of our Sister Jurisdiction,s. To these Jurisdictions we offer our heartfelt sympathy and all the sentiments expressed to our own.

IN MEMORIAM

It was not for the things they did or knew But rather, that their hearts were true, It was not for one shining deed, But, that they knew another's need. Their thoughts were fine, their deeds were good, They smiled and loved and understood. For all these things, we miss them more, Now that they've passed the other door; But, love remains, and memories dear, Within each heart, they still are near.

Dear ones have passed beyond the door, Yet the.re's fragrance in memory, We remember the beauty they shared with each ... Not Death but Immortality.

Fraternally submitted, F. R. ERICK MULDER, Chairman A. BROWN A. RIDER M. VERHAEGHE

Prayer

Divine Majesty, Creator and dependable Overseer of the Universe, our Grand Jehovah , we thy workmen in convocation here assembled, offer gratitude for our existence, for the inestimable gift of life., abil­itiEl\S, and for the blessed hope of the future.

To those whose names have ,now been added to the Book of Time, those who have shared the ceremonies and labour of our earthly Order, but who have now been chosen for higher de.g rees and office in Thy upper Realm, may it be commun icated to them that they are missed in the familiar circles of our temples, but, in the good time which Thou alone will appoint, may it be that we can be re­united with them to work again together in love and harmony in the expansion of Thy marvelous Universe which Thou, in Thy benevo­lence, has offered to share with us.

Blessed be Thy Holy Name.

LIBRARY AND RESEARCH

To the Most Excellent Grand First Principal , Office-rs and Compan­ions of the Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Mason,s of Alberta. Most Excellent Sir and Compan ions :

Your Committee on Library, Research and Education wish to report that they have nothing outstanding to report at this time. We would, however, as we have done in the past reports, recommend to the Com­panions to make full use of the Royal Arch Library, located in the Grand Scribe E's office. He would be glad to assist them when called upon.

Your Committee would also strongly recommend to the First Princi­palis of their Chapters, that when no degree work is on the agenda, that they contact a Companion or Past Principal of the Chapter to give a talk on the Mark Master, Most Excellent Master or Royal Arch Degree or any subject on Royal Arch Masonry.

We wou ld commend the Grand Council and Grand District superin­tendents for some very interesting ar\d educational talks given on their official vis its to constituent Chapters.

38

We wish to remind the Companions of this Grand Chapter of the Fifty-fifth Triennial of the General Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons International to be held in the City of Las Vegas, Nevada, on September 24th to 28th, 1972.

COMMITTEE ON THE GRAND FIRST PRINCIPAL'$ ADDRESS

To the Most Excellent Grand First Principal, Office.rs and Compan­ions of the Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons of Alberta. Most Excellent Sir and Companions :

We first congratulate M. Ex. Companion Ceci l C. G. Duthie on com­pleting his year of office as our Grand First Principal of the Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons of Alberta. Your Committee have care.­fully perused his report of his stewardship for the year and are impres­sed by the efforts he has expended in furthering the work of the Order throughout the Gra.nd Jurisdiction.

We join him in extending a cordial welcome to our distinguished visitors from other Grand Jurisdictions and also to our own Companions, particularly those who are attending a Grand Convocation for the first time. May their interest be kindled to bring them back again each year to as5ist in the advancement of our work.

We grieve with our Grand First Principal in the passing of so many of our staunch co-workers and with him express our deepest sympathy to their loved ones. We are also pleased that a tribute to their memory will be paid at this Grand Session.

We are pleased to .see that our Grand Zerubbabel has extended invitations to many of the near Grand Jurisdictions, to the Presiding Offi­cers of the Concordant Bodies and Civic Dignitaries, to attend this Grand Convocation.

39

We are happy that our Grand First Principal has been able to at­tend all the District Meetings in our Grand Jurisdiction and that he found that all were well attended and conducted. He indicates that each Dis­trict Superintendent will , in his report, cover the questions and desires expressed by the Companions, at their respective meetings. From this

• we would presume that no difficult questions were propounded, and that harmony prevails throughout the Grand Jurisdiction.

We note our Grand First Principal 's remarks toward the "Faithful Few" whose effort,s do so much to keep our Constituent Chapters operat­ing successfully, also his question asking if we are too pro,ne to sit and wonder what is wrong with Freemasonry, when we should be thinking what is right with it. We also concur in his remark that our Lodges and Chapters have withstood the trials of the ages, but we would like to add that their continued existence can be greatly brightened if we match our thinking with some positive and practical actions. A recession in any Order can, in part, be assessed against too many thinkers and too few doers.

We are pleased in his claim that a distinct change toward better days is evidenced in the decrease in our membership this year being only 29. We sincerely hope the trend will continue, and agree with our Grand First Principal that the successful Chapters should be an incentive to the Jess successful ones and induce them to copy their example ..

We are happy and pleased to see that our Grand First Principal has been able to visit so many of our Constituent Chapters during his year of office and that he has been so ably supported by present and past Grand Officers and Companions.

We share the pride of our Grand First Principal as he made presen­tations of fifty year jewels to four esteemed Companions of the Order, and join with him in hearty congratulations to each of them.

We ccmgratulate him on being able to visi t other Grand Jurisdictionp both nationally and internationally and on the honors accorded to him at each. We feel that these are a source of good public relations be­tween our respective Grand Jurisdictions.

Each Grand Chapter year brings many pleasant duties to our Gra.nd First Principal, such as assisting at annive.rsaries, attending and taking part in special divine services, assisting in installatio,ns, making presen­tations of many awards and commis.sions. We congratulate him on his efforts at these most interesting events.

The report did not carry any list of appointments or recommenda­tions of Grand Representatives to this or other Grand Jurisdictions, and we hope that this was only an over15ight in this report.

We have perused all dispensations issued by our Grand First Prin­cipal and fi.nd all appear to be in order and within his authority.

Finally we congratulate our Grand First Principal on the year of ser­vice he has devoted to the Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons of Alberta, and at the close of the Chapter day we shall be happy to wel­come him into the ranks of Pa.st Grand First Principals and to assure him that he will not find that time will be dragging on his hands, be­cause work will be assigned to him which will keep him busy for ever and ever.

Fraternally submitted, A. C. GUNNING, P.G.Z., Chairman FRANK MAYER, P.G.Z. BERT JAMES, P.G.Z. C. M. LAVERTY, P.G.Z.

Moved by M. Ex. Comp. A. C. Gunning, seconded by M. Ex. Comp. F. Mayer, that this report be accepted and approved. - Carried.

FRATERNAL CORRESPONDENCE

To the Most Excellent Grand First Principal , Officers and Compan­ions of the Grand Chapter, Royal Arch Masons of Alberta. Most Excellent Sir and Companions :

In reporting for this Committee we would like to express our thanki; • to those who assisted us in reviewing the various Proceedings of Sister Grand Jurisdictions. We were not able to do as many this year owing to illness of our Grand Scribe E and the Chairman of this Committee.

We would draw to the attention of the Companion,s who might be interested, these Proceedings are in the Grand Chapter Library. They may be borrowed for a period , if required .

From a perusal of these Proceedings it is quite evident that har­mony and good will pre.vails in most of the Capi tular world . There is still a decrease in membership in some of the Grand Jurisdictions. However, in a number of others there is a.n increaf3e. It is worthy of noting that, where an aggressive educational programme is being carried on, there is an increase. In many of the Grand Chapters there are schools of in­struction which are beneficial to the Companions in these jurisdictions. This is a thought our Grand Chapter could keep in mind and investigate with the ultimate idea of creating more interest and particularly, better informed Royal Craftsmen.

We would remind our Companions of the Triennial Sessions of the General Grand Chapter which are to take place in Las Vegas, September 24th to 28th, 1972. If possible you would do well to make this trip.

GENERAL GRAND CHAPTER BRONZE MEDALLION

R.E. Comp. 0 . P. Thomas the,n asked the Grand Director of Cere­monies to present R.E. Comp. Ed. Searle in the East, where he was presented with this award. R.E. Comp. Thomas, in doing so, outlined the outstanding contribution to Masonry which has been made by RE. Comp. Searle for over forty years.

R.E. Comp. Thomas closed his remarks with, "I n spite of the re­strictions which his work laid on him he was always a ready helper in the furtherance of the different activities which have been carried out to make the work more impressive and useful. When a drive was necessary Ed suppl ied it."

"With these facts in mind, as well as his pleasing personality, which most of us in Alberta know, we think th is honour is most appropriate. May you, R.E. Comp. Ed be able to wear this for many years to come, and we remind you to take it eas ier so that you will be able to do so for a long time."

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE WORK

To The Most Excellent Grand Z., Officers and Companions of the Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons of Alberta.

Most Excellent Sir and Companions : There have been no questions referred to the Committee o,n the

Work during the past year. However there are two items carried over from last year (see 1971 Proceedings, Page 31 ). The first regarding the man­ner in which the H. and J . pass in front of the Z. and proceed to the inspection of the P.

We wou ld recommend that all preambulations i,n the Chapter and the Lodges be done on the square with the exception of the three Prin­cipals approaching the.ir stations in the opening when they approach the Dias in the form of a triangle between the P. and the E.

The second question regarding the difference in the manner of sharing the S. in the opening and closing we have not yet resolved and refer it to the incoming Committee for further study.

We are pleased to note that the " Supplementary Instructions and Explanations" and also the closing Blessing (Page 139) are now avail­able from the Grand S.E. Office.

Moved by F. R. Erick Mulder, seconded by M. Ex. Comp. A. C. Gunning that this report of the Committee on the work be received and adopted. - Carried .

REPORT OF PROPERTY COMMITTEE

To The Most Excellent Grand First Pri.ncipal , Officers and Companions of the Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons of Alberta.

Most Excellent Sir and Companions : Your Committee appointed to make a list of all properties of this

Grand Chapter beg to report as foll ows:

In the Grand Scribe's Office 1-Standard desk with 7 drawers 1-Sectional bookcase-six sections with top and bottom 1-Sectional bookcase-seven sections with top and bottom 1-Typewriter desk 1-Underwood typewriter 1-Grand Chapter seal 3-Light oak multiple drawer filing cabinets

58-Bound copies of our Grand Chapter Proceedings 2-Shelves of misc. library books

Regalia in Storage

bag of Grand D. of C. regalia ------------------------------------------ poor shape bag of Grand S. Sojourner regalia ____ ___________________ ___ __ ___ good shape

bag of Grand J . Sojourner regalia -------------------------------- good shape bag of Grand Pursuivant regalia -------·---------------------------- good shape

3 bags of Grand Stewards regalia ------------------------------------ good shape 1 bag of Odd pieces regalia ---------------------------------------------- poor shape There were quite a few parts of regalia in particularly poor shape

which requested they be destroyed as being unfit for either use or re­pair.

44

There is also the regalia presently in use by our Grand Officers and as there is no official list available, we would suggsst it be accepted as listed in the 1969 Proceedings with whatever upgrading it has received since that date.

Stationery is not included as this is included as per cost in the Auditor 's report and is a varying commodity.

Recommendations

As Grand Chapter regalia i.s a particularly costly item in our ex­penditures, we recommend the following:

(1) That only elective Officers be invested with Grand Chapter regalia.

(2) That when the present issued regalia reaches a point of being unrepairable, the present spare regalia be sent in as requ ired, to be changed to the office required and channeled back into service.

(3) That a record of issue at each Grand Chapter be kept. We also recommend: (4) Our Grand Scribe E. has hundreds of copies of the Proceedings

of other Grand Jurisdictions dating back many years. Keeping these Proceedings does not appear to serve any useful purpose and as we ap­pear to be paying storage to retain them, we recommend these be elim­inated and only current copies be kept for one year.

(5) With the increase in postage rates and a further increase being possible in the not to distant future , it is an item for concern to your Grand Officers. At the present time our Grand Scribe E. receives a great many copies of the Proceedings from other Grand Jurisdictions, to be passed on to their Grand Representatives within our Grand Jurisdiction. We would suggest that these be assembled in the Grand Scribe E.'s office into Grand Superintendent's Districts and be taken to the District Meetings for distribution. The Grand Representative then to review the Proceedings from the Jurisdictions he represents and forward a copy of his review to the Chairman of the Committee on Fraternal Corres­pondence.

(6) There are several large boxes of old correspondence in stor­age which our Grand Scribe E. states is an accumulation from his pre­decessors or is about 20 years old . We recommend that this Grand Chapter give authority to the next committee to check into this and if of no value, to arrange to have it de,stroyed.

Fraternally submitted , A. C. GUNNING, Chairman W. H. HOUGHTON F. J. HAND
