September 21, 1963 The Frances Hubbard Diaries

Saturday, September 21, 1963

Saturday, cloudy,  42.  I washed in the am.  Wayne and Clifton went to look at cars again and came home with a 64 Plymouth.  LaVerne and Roberta went with us to the Masonic supper.  Carol and Sue waited on table.  Gerald and Mary Ann came home for dinner and spent the afternoon here.

Comment:  Dinner was the noon meal.....  Dad was a Mason for many years and I remember the Mason's book he had.  I think it was the new testament but was in a code and I remember my mother being able to read it aloud without any trouble at all.  She would read it to us kids from time to time for a lark but Dad never did....Here is a picture of the Masonic Emblem:

It was made of up two items:  

• The Masonic square, which symbolizes a state of moral rectitude. 
• 
  
• The Masonic compasses symbolize an implement of virtue by which Masons are taught to circumscribe (create a boundary around) their passions and keep their desires within due bounds.
