The Most Worshipful Grand Master Melville H. Nahin, Grand Master of F&. A. M, State of California, read the following: during the 75th year Installation of Tujunga Lodge No. 592. ENJOY!

A MASONIC TRIP TO THE MALL FOR THE LADIES

1. Drive in a car developed by Henry Ford, Walter Chrysler or Ransom Olds.

2. Shop at J.C. Penneys, K-Mart (founded by 5.5. Kresge), Bloomingdales or Robinson-May

3. Buy a Maytag appliance (Frederick Maytag), a color television (David Sarnoff), a vacuum cleaner (Frank Hoover), a Gillette safety razor (King Gillette)

4. Eat at Wendy's (Dave Thomas), Kentucky Fried Chicken (Harland Sanders)

5. Listen to the music of Irving Berlin, Al Jolson, Mel Tillis, Roy Clark or perhaps a classic by Sibellos, Mozart, Hayden, Lizst or Ferde Grofe's Grand Canyon Suite or the kind of music I like Tex Beneke, and the Glen Miller Orchestra, Vaughn Monroe, Duke Ellington, Count Basle and Louis Armstrong.

6. Watch an old movie featuring Roy Roger, John Wayne, or Gene Autry or Ben Hur written by Lew Wallace and directed by William Wyler or any of the many Cecil B. DeMille extravaganzas.

7. Maybe you'll watch the Public Broadcast Channels featuring the story about the Pledge of Allegiance by Ralph Bellamy, the Statute of Liberty by Frederick Bartholdi or perhaps Mt. Rushmore created by Gutzon and Lincoln Borglum.

8. Or perhaps a story about our astronauts starting with Buzz Aldrin and his trip to the moon preceded by Senator John Glenn, who is also our latest hero, the late Gus Grissom, or Walter Shirra, or the other 14 astronauts who are Masons.

9. Maybe instead Of going to a Masonic meeting your husband will take you to a meeting of the Lions founded by Melvin Jones or your kids will be at a non-Masonic youth activity organized by the Boy Scouts of America begun by Daniel Carter Beard or the Future Farmers of America, all four founders were Masons.

10. Ifall doesn't go well and there's a little bit of illness in the family, you might need the services of the Mayo Brothers founded by Charles Mayo, or Penicillin discovered by Alexander Fleming, or Smallpox vaccine developed by Edward Jenner.

All of these were Masons and many, many more who contributed to our health, welfare and entertainment. But who knows about it?
