I left them to lastNext issue we will list the Masonic medals of British Columbia.Seems they numbered chapters at first for all Canada.

But some go byI like to keep them in numerical

Thenbecause they confused me. they split all the chapters into the provinces and renumbered them.their original numbers and some go by both numbers, order and I hope to figure them out by next time.

I hope these lists are of use to you in your collecting. I have always found it easier to go after an item if I know it exists. I started collecting just the Washington State Masonic medals using the PNNA List. I now have about 60 different pieces plus other pieces not chapter pieces.

In order to understand some of the symbols on Masonic medals, we recommend you ask ANA about the Dr Wright article on them in The Numismatist. It is available in reprint at a nominal price from ANA headquarters. It tells you what -some of the devices used mean. Why a mallet and chisel? What does the keystone mean? Look it up and enjoy your collection more.

Don't forget the 1975 PNNA Convention to be held in Pasco on Maybe we can see a Masonic medal exhibit.

All for this time. May l6, 17 and 18.

Typists Note: If the Editors confused--I surely will be when I type it. By the way, a B.UvM. S. Meeting Is scheduled for Saturday, March 8th at 8PM at 19925 1st Avenue South in Seattle. All interested persons are urge dto attend.
