Albert S. Mead, organist of Acacia Lodge, 85, A.F. and A.M. for 33 years, was paid honor for his services to the chapter at a meeting held Tuesday evening at the Masonic Temple. Mr. Mead tendered his resignation as organist last January. The ceremonies in honor of Mr. Mead were conducted by Albert Roth, master of the lodge.

The tribute was opened by Past Master Robert G. Collins, who presented Mr. Mead with the original apron which he wore as organist. A handsome set of engrossed resolutions, signed by the 21 past masters of the lodge under whom Mr. Mead served, was presented by Past Master Charles W. Pettengill. Past Master Charles H. Dayton completed the presentations with a watch feb, in lyre design with the Masonic emblem on a central field of blue, the gift of the lodge.

Following the ceremony and business session, Rexford Daniels gave an illustrated lecture on "Ancient Astronomy in Masonry." Following the meeting refreshments were served.
