HONOURABLE MEMBER - Bill Riehl, Potentaites -Aide from the Mocha Temple in
London, congratulates friend and long-time Shriner Ross Scott after presenting him
with a Long -Term service pin at Maplewood Manor last week. Mr. Scott has been
an active Shriner for 42 years. Elliott photo.
Scott t :onore l ;by Shriners
Ross Scott, a member of the Bluewater
Shriner Club and a resident of Maplewood
Manor in Seaforth, was presented. on
Thursday with a long service pin for 42
years of commitment and service to the
Shriners.
Mr. Scott accepted the award from
Potentalte's Aide Bill Riehl of the Mocha
Temple, London. Mr. Riehl was represen-
ting Potentaite Robert Henry also of the
Mocha Temple.
A .33rd Degree Mason and a former
Grand Steward of the Masonic Grand
Lodge, Mr. Scott first became a member
of the Masonic Blue Lodge in Seaforth in
1923. He received the Lodge of Perfection
in 1946 and that same year was awarded
the Rose Croix in London, Ontario. He was
' made a Shriner the following year, 1947,
and was also granted membership in the
Moore Sovereign Consistery at that time,
Mrs. Frances Hook, Administrator of
Maplewood. Manor, was an hand with Mr.
Scott'afellow.residents to .watch Mr. Riehl
present the award and congratulate him on
his years of fine service to the Shriners'
organization. Mr. Scott, 93, expressed his
gratitude.
"I appreciate this, and I appreciate
everyone -amine down here to see me," he
told Manor residents. "I know there are a
few .more Masons here, walking around not
saying anything.”
Mr. Scott spoke briefly about his years
as a Mason, the organization's -activities
and the many friends that he has come to
know.
"When I think of friends of mine from
the area and from right here in Seaforth,
I have reason to have a tear in my eye,"
he remarked with ,emotion. "There were
some grand fellows."
Mr.. Scott and Mr. Riehl briefed the au-
dience on the Shriner's work and slogan,
"We have fun so that crippled and burn-
ed kids can walk." The organization has a
hard and fast rule that if the parents of a
maimed child cannot afford to foot the bill
for treatment, the Shriners will step in and
cover the cost. To date, there are 22
hospitals in North America that are fund-
ed 100% by the Shriners.
"The Shriners have a crazy manner of
raising money, but believe me, they sure
don't spend it as foolishly as they raise it
sometimes," Mr. Scott assured the group.
Mr. Riehl stressed what an honour it
was tomake the presentation to -Mr -Scott,
whom he has known for many years.
"I've received a few of these (long ser-
vice) pins, and sometimes you would think
that all you have to do get them is get
old", Mr. Scott chuckled.
"It doesn't a actly work that way,
though," he went on to add.
"I guess it has omething to do with the
way you live, ,and omething to do awith the
things that you do."
