Imperial Potentate, Conrad V. Dykeman, Officers of the Imperial Council, Representatives to the Imperial Council, And the Nobility of North America: Welcome, Thrice Welcome!! With the hearts that beat with fraternal love and civic pride, the ten thousand Nobles of Ararat Temple greet you and bid you WELCOME to “The Heart of America.” The tents of the faithful are open to you. Enter, “Hang Your Hat With Ararat,” and share our hospitality. Mingled with a most definite appreciation of your visit, is a very dominant sense of our responsibility and obligation to each of you and to our great Order. The Shrine has taken its place at the head of the fraternal organizations of the world. An Order can be no greater than the composite ambition of its members. All Shriners are Freemasons and should never cease to function as such. The good name of Shrinedom is in the keeping of the Nobility, and it is our fervent prayer that our meeting here may add new lustre and prestige to our noble institution, our every act justifying the confidence and admiration in which the Order is held throughout the Nation. May your visit to the Golden Jubilee Session at Kansas City be both pleasant and profitable, enriched with memories of accomplishments, friendships and pleasures that will remain with you long after you have turned your face homeward. With assurance of affectionate and fraternal welcome, I am, Yours in the faith, Potentate.

(See page 20) —9— Kansas City Dressed Up KANSAS CITY has been transformed into a city of Saracenic Egypt by means of three general decorative schemes. (1) Blazons of antique Egypt, such as hawk-headed Osiris, and the papyrus scroll fledged with eagles’ wings, and the sphinx, together with the Heart of America Shrine emblem. These were painted on patent wall cloth in the seven colors of ancient Egypt and are thrown criss-cross over the streets from trolley pole to trolley pole. (2) Some 100 Egyptian columns have been placed at street intersections, and rows of inscrutable sphinxes line the avenues. The first things the visitors see when coming out of the Union Station are a great obelisk and groups of columns. (3) The special architectural treatment of Petticoat Lane, or Eleventh street from Grand Avenue to Main street. This comprises a huge sphinx at Grand Avenue and an obelisk at Main street, where the street jogs. Broadly speaking, the entire business district is a harmonious whole of Egyptian hangings, and the upthrusting 100 columns of staff, gaudily painted at head and base, composing a poetic mixture of ancient and Arabic Egypt. The misuse of Old Glory was carefully avoided. The national standard floats where it belongs, on the flagstaff, supreme over green. Three Parades Shrine Patrols, Bands, Chanters, as well as other uniformed organizations, from Temples all over the United States, will give three parades through the down town streets. One of the parades will be by day and two by night. On Tuesday morning at 9:00 o’clock the first parade will start from 14th and Main streets. This will be the most gorgeous and spectacular ever seen in Kansas City. It is estimated that four hours will be required for it to pass a given point. The night parade of the same organizations will start at 8:00 o’clock Wednesday night, June 4th, from 14th and Main Sts. Both these parades will follow the same line of march, as follows: Form on West 14th Street South on Main Street to Pershing Road East on Pershing Road to Grand Avenue North on Grand Avenue to 9th Street West on 9th Street to Walnut Street South on Walnut Street to 12th Street West on 12th Street to Main North on Main Street to 9th Street West on 9th Street to Baltimore South on Baltimore to 13th Street West on 13th Street to Convention Hall and disband. The final exhibition of the Convention will be held on Thursday night, June 5, when the Civic Pageant, sixteen specially built floats and thirty bands, will start from the Priests of Pallas “Den,” 10th street and Garfield avenue, and sweep through several miles of streets, a blaze of glory. (For details and line of march, see page 11 of this program.) All three parades will pass the 50,000 grand stand seats, which have been especially constructed for this Convention. Imperial Officers’ Cars For representatives and Imperial Officers’, official cars may be had for your use at 13th and Baltimore. For changes in program read the SHRINE NEWS DAILY Civic Pageant THE CIVIC Pageant, on the night of Thursday, June 5th, will afford thousands of our guests their first opportunity to witness one of those surpassing spectacles which have been Kansas City’s pride for thirty years. This glittering Pageant will be prepared and presented under the auspices of the Priests of Pallas, the organization which is responsible for the parade held each October as a part of the Fall Festival. Never before have the Priests of Pallas consented to take charge of a parade, except during the time of the autumn festivities, and they are undertaking the task now only in order that the visiting Nobles and their friends may view such a Pageant as hardly can be equalled in any other city. Sixteen floats of bewitching beauty, each conceived and decorated by a master artist, form the nucleus of the procession. Each float typifies a distinct idea or scene, and carries a group of lovely young girls in rich costumes, who become a part of the entrancing picture. Lighted by hundreds of electric lights, and moving slowly along the line of march by electric power, the visions may be enjoyed, as other similar ones have been in the past, by more than a quarter of a million people. Shrine bands from various temples will march ahead of the different floats and supply the inspiring music needed to make the Pageant an event long to be remembered. Floats in Parade 1. Hot Sands 2.

On the night of June 4th, immediately after the Parade, there will be staged on Liberty Memorial Hill in front of Union Station Plaza a most elaborate display of fireworks. Many new and original features will be presented. Some of the effects are the last word in the pyrotechnician’s art. —11— The following is an abridged list of subjects that will be displayed: Shrine Emblem and Heart of America.

George Muehlebach, owner of the Blues, built a new ball park, Muehlebach Field. It has been called, by the newspapers, a monument to baseball in Kansas City. The plant cost close to $400,000. Celebrating their moving into so great a park, the finest in all minor leaguedom and finer than many parks in the majors, the Blues won the Association pennant and then to cap the climax with a greater and more thrilling climax the Blues defeated the Baltimore Orioles, International league pennant winners, in a series of nine games. A wonder year it was. The Blues did not win the pennant until the last day of the season. They did not defeat the Orioles until the ninth and last game of the series. The season was a thrill from the first day to the last. Muehlebach Field holds a lure through the summer days for all who love the great American pastime. From out of the city on Sabbath days when the Blues are at home come excursion trains bringing the fans of nearby towns to enjoy baseball under ideal conditions. Swimming Those who enjoy a cool plunge and a swim will find plenty of opportunity. Natatoriums and pools are located as follows: City Pools—Penn Valley Park, 26th and Jefferson. The Grove, 15th and Bellefontaine. Swope Park, Lagoon and Beach. There are children’s wading pools at all public play-grounds. Club Pools— Kansas City Club, 13th and Baltimore.

(Parade Route see pages 10 and 11.) A Bit About Kansas City one has said American Cities are alike, and this is true in about the same proportion that all men are alike. But as men differ in their qualifications and attainments, so do the characteristics of communities. It is worth while in visiting cities to observe some at least of their outstanding features. There are numerous points of excellence in Kansas City that the visitor may note with profit. Good results mark its progress in many of the fundamentals of civic development. Located in the very heart of America with an area of sixty square miles, its situation is so favorable to the purposes of a growing, prosperous and well appointed city that it is little wonder so many are daily finding it a good place in which to live, to work, to study and to recreate. The topography of Kansas City is a happy blending of level and rolling ground. The railroads follow along the low- level grades near the Missouri River and they in turn are followed by the industries. The city rises rapidly from the river and shuts off the railroads and industries from the residential districts, leaving, however, ample lands for their present and future needs. The difficulties of other cities in obtaining proper lands for industrial and manufacturing uses in uniformly segregated districts do not prevail in Kansas City. This city is fortunate in the kind, character and extent of its residential sub-divisions. In respect to the extent of beautiful homes, it has been conceded time and again by experts, as first in the United States. As an outstanding setting in this, the Country Club District, comprising several thousand acres, has often been mentioned. Kansas City is Union Station known as one of the most beautiful cities in America and is attested in part by the grand Union Station; the beautiful parks and boulevard systems; the imposing bridges and arteries of communication to Kansas City, Kansas, and North Kansas City, including many grade crossing eliminations and by the beautiful residential sections. Excepting only the home, Kansas City’s Park System offers the citizen his greatest recreation. Its many lovely parks and parkways allow for the pleasant relaxations so necessary to the maintenance of a healthy community. Kansas City ranks first among American cities in the matter of connected park and boulevard systems. Swope Park, with its 1,332 acres of natural and rugged scenery, is about the third largest park in the United States. The Penn Valley Park is lovely. The celebrated Cliff Drive in the northeastern part of the city is majestic in its three-mile course of beauty. The West Terrace Drive, high above the low level, offers a panoramic view of a large portion of the industrial section. Kansas City is near the top of all American Cities in the proportion of American born citizens within its borders, hence it is not startling that when a call was made for a memorial as a reminder of War and Peace, that within one week Eighty-six —26— it)

“The Heart of America” Within the last ten years the entire railroad situation in the city has been recreated. Fifty million dollars were expended on the re-adjustment, of which Six Million represents the cost of the Union Station building, which is the third largest in the United States. The main waiting room is the largest in the world, being 410 feet long. The lobby is 230 by 100 feet with a height to ceiling of 97 feet. It was necessary to make this extensive adjustment to properly care for the business of 14 trunk lines with 32 branch lines entering the station with 260 trains daily. The Pullman business and the quantity of baggage handled in this station are not exceeded in any American Station. There is wide diversity in the activities of this city. None of the essentials of a metropolitan city is lacking. Do you like —27- thousand people contributed Two Million Dollars toward the erection of the imposing Liberty Memorial now under construction on Memorial Hill opposite the Union Station. The salient feature of this Memorial is a shaft the top of which will be four hundred feet above the Union Station Plaza. The design according to the description given by the Architect, Harold V. McGonigle, signifies “The Flame of Inspiration, guarded by the Spirits of Courage, Honor, Patriotism and Sacrifice, burning forever upon an altar high-built in the skies, a pillar of cloud by day, a pillar of fire by night. For the purpose steam or smoke will be used in the day time and a gas flame at night.” It is expected that the memorial will some day be the nucleus for an art and educational center and land has been acquired for the purpose. music and art? If so, this city is fast becoming a center for both. There are no better schools. It was here that the Junior High School had its inception. Fraternal Orders abound. The De Molay organization also had its inception here. The 375 church edifices provide worship for all denominations. Banks are necessary in a community and there are 76 to do business with. The most imposing business building is occupied by the Federal Reserve Bank, which for a long time has held fifth place among Federal Banks in the United States in the amount of clearings. It will be of interest to some in part at least to learn that Kansas City is the largest distributing point for lumber in the United States—the largest primary wheat market in the world—the largest hay market in the world—leads the world in the distribution of farm tractors and agricultural implements— Petticoat Lane the largest market in the world for feeding and breeding cattle—the largest Hereford cattle center—the largest manufacturing center for black walnut lumber. A list of the first, second or third places of comparison with other cities in production and industrial activities would be, out of place in these remarks, yet sufficient should be given to show that the city is not dependent upon one or two lines of development only, but rather that its sources are diversified. Take it in the manufacturing of work clothing and you find it out among the leaders—as a horse and mule market it ranks second in the United States and the same can be said in the shipping of carloads of meat. Third place is usually important enough to be among the prize winners. Kansas City stands third in the manufacture and distribution of soap, also of crackers and similar Twelfth Street Viaduct bakery products, as well as a market for dairy products. Its varied factories are sufficient to place it as tenth in manufacture in the United States. Since early in 1920 the City Plan Commission of eight members, created by City ordinance, has functioned actively. Its duties are to make adequate provision for, and to guide the future development and growth of the city. It is also charged with exercising its vested authority in the protection of property, the promotion of the public welfare and the preservation of health. The outstanding work of the Commission to date is reflected in the successful operation of the zoning ordinance, now a year old. Practically applied the zoning regulation divides the lands of the city into districts as to the use that can be made of them in the way of buildings and development.

The Circle is Green and the Star Orange. The great increase in traveling by automobiles and present conditions in cities, make it imperative that such a mark be provided and made familiar to the American Public. This mark will be placed at the entrance of all buildings and —45— stores in Kansas City, where Comfort Station Facilities are provided, as well as in Grand Stands built along the line of march of the parades. The owners of all buildings and stores where this mark is displayed extend you a welcome to The Heart of America. This Mark will be displayed where Comfort Station Facilities are provided in the temporary grandstands which will be erected along the line of march. Order of De Molay Order of De Molay, a fraternity for young men between the ages of sixteen and twenty-one, sponsored by Masonic bodies, originated in Kansas City in 1919. It is now international in scope, having chapters in every state in the Union, Canada, Philippine Islands, Canal Zone, Porto Rico, Mexico, France and Italy. At the present there are 1,300 chapters with a membership of approximately 130,000. At the last meeting of the Imperial Council, held in Washington, the Order of De Molay was endorsed by resolution urging the Nobility to lend their moral and personal support to chapters of the Order of De Molay now organized in their city or community. The Order teaches love of parents, reverence, patriotism, purity, courtesy, comradeship and fidelity. It prohibits the inculcation of any specific creed, but insists upon a profound and continued reverence for sacred things. It insists upon carrying into daily life the lessons taught by religion in its broadest sense. It seeks to inculcate a thorough knowledge of the responsibilities of good citizenship, its privileges, restrictions and obligations. The Order has promulgated a citizenship building course which has drawn the praise of educators throughout the country. No fraternal organization has grown with such rapidity as has this wonderful boy movement and it is freely predicted that within the next year it will reach the two hundred thousand mark. Its officers are located on the twelfth floor of the Federal Reserve Bank Building, Kansas City, Missouri. Legends of the Hopi (Donated to the Golden Jubilee by A.A.O.N.M.S. Uniformed Bodies, Phoenix, Ariz.) THE Hopi Indians of Walpi mesa in Northern Arizona, are supposed to be descendants of the cliff dwellers. Whether this is true, or not, they are among the best known existing types of the pueblo building aborigines who antedated the white man in America, not only the white man, but the Aztecs and, possibly, the Toltecs. In their barrack-like houses, which form villages in themselves, the Hopi have a sacred chamber for the rituals which take the place of religion. But these “akavas” are more suggestive of the lodge rooms of secret orders than chapels, and some students of the ceremonies profess to find analogies of Masonic symbolism. M. W. Billingsley, a noble of El Zaribah Temple, Phoenix, was the originator of the idea of having selected Hopi arrange a series of ceremonials, songs and dances to illustrate Hopi life in dramatic form. First he had to make the Indians understand the idea. Then he had to take care that they would stage the show, themselves, without a mixture of the white man’s dramatic conceptions. Next, it was necessary to trim down the show, keeping the essentials, but escaping the monotony which the Hopi love. The product was, “The Legends of the Hopi,” requiring a cast of sixteen men, women and children. The show is a series of the high lights of the Snake dance, the Eagle dance, the Kachina dance, the Piewahlay dance, the Corn dance and the Victory dance, together with pantomimes of tribal tragedies, as handed down by their priests. The Hopi songs are inexpressibly weird. The audience realizes, with a thrill, that he beholds a bit of ancient barbaric life, belonging to the zone of human development between savagery and civilization. Ages, ago, the ancestors of people in Kansas City performed rites like these, in the old world. —46— “Kansas City, U. S. A.” Some years ago one of the big packing houses carried its address on its output as “Kansas City, U. S. A.” The expression gained quite a vogue and became known around the world. Not everyone who read the words really appreciated their significance, however—many taking it as a boastful assumption on the part of a pushing city and smiling at the “breeziness” thereof. But “Kansas City, U. S. A.,” means more than that. There are really two Kansas Citys at the big bend of the Missouri— the Heart of America. One is the second largest city in Missouri; the other the largest city in Kansas. Together they constitute, with their suburbs, a city of 600,000 people—two-thirds of them in Missouri, one-third in Kansas. The Missouri city is one of the Great Commercial Centers of the Country, its bank clearings exceeding those of cities twice its size. The Kansas city is one of the greatest manufacturing points on earth. All the Kansas City packing houses, for instance, are in Kansas and the line between the two cities is an imaginary one, running down the middle of certain streets. Each town has its own Mayor and government, and its own independent pride and prejudices. But their spirit is one. Shriners will be as welcome on one side of the state line as the other the first week in June. They will find a fine Scottish Rite Temple on Seventh Street at Ann Ave., in the Kansas city, with a Shrine Club just across the street—and Knight Templars and Kadosh and every other degree of Masons at every turn.
