GRAND LODGE OF MISSOURI
ganization has given us two scholarships every year. Their help is very highly appreciated. ORDER OF THE EASTERN STAR SCHOLARSHIP
The Order of the Eastern Star Scholarship Board has given one very substantial scholarship to one of the Masonic Home boys who is attending Washington University and this help is very highly appreciated by both the Home and the young man who is being helped. ORDER OF THE EASTERN STAR
The Advisory Board of the Order of the Eastern Star is now spending some of their money which has been accumulating through the war years. The old people's dining room is enjoying all new silver which was delivered during the year, and there has been delivered to the Home furniture to refurnish the men's building. All of it will not be placed at the time of the meeting of Grand Lodge but by the middle of October all of the old men of the Home will have new and very lovely furniture. We are grateful for this help and we believe that buying conditions have now improved enough that the Horne can enjoy the things that the Eastern Stars have been planning for us through the war years. The Advisory Board of Grand Chapter have been most helpful through the years, not only with new furniture and supplies that they have bought, but by their counsel and their help. ENTERTAINMENT FUND
The letter that the Grand Master sent out in the early fall asking for donations to the Entertainment Fund of the Home brought a most generous response from the Lodges. We not only received gifts from 355 Lodges but other organizations and individuals were also most generous. Following is a list of the donors to this fund and a list of the expenses from the fund. On September 1, there was a balance of $3,079.04, but this will be used during the fall months of the year and for the usual Christmas gifts made to the members of the Home family.
