    Harashim The Quarterly Newsletter of the Australian & New Zealand Masonic Research Council ISSN 1328-2735 Issue 49 January 2010 First Prestonian Lecture in Australia John Wade at Discovery Lodge of Research Laurelbank Masonic Centre, in the inner Sydney suburbs, was the venue for the presentation of the first Prestonian Lecture in Australia by a current Prestonian Lecturer. Discovery Lodge of Research held a special meeting there on Wednesday 6 January to receive the Master of Quatuor Coronati Lodge No. 2076 EC, the editor of Ars Quatuor Coronatorum, and the Prestonian Lecturer for 2009—all in the person of Sheffield University’s Dr John Wade. Some 37 brethren attended the lodge, including the Grand Master, MWBro Dr Greg Levenston, and representatives from Newcastle and Canberra. WM Ewart Stronach introduced Bro Wade, outlining his academic and Masonic achievements, gave a brief account of the origin of Prestonian Lectures, and closed the lodge. Ladies and other visitors were then admitted, swelling the audience to 54, for a brilliant rendition of the lecture: ‘“Go and do thou likewise”, English Masonic Processions from the 18th to the 20th Centuries’. Bro Wade made good use of modern technology with a PowerPoint presentation, including early film footage of 20th-century processions, supplementing it with his own imitation of a fire-and-brimstone preacher, and a spirited rendition of the first verse of The Entered Apprentice’s Song.

    Military History Anniversaries 1 thru 15 August Events in History over the next 15 day period that had U.S. military involvement or impacted in some way on U.S military operations or American interests worldwide Aug 01 1801 – Tripolitan War: The schooner USS Enterprise defeated the 14-gun Tripolitan corsair Tripoli after a fierce but one–sided battle. Aug 01 1907 – U.S. Army: Air Force Day » On this day the U.S. Army Signal Corps established a small Aeronautical Division to take care of all matters pertaining to military ballooning, air machines and all kindred subjects. The Signal corps began testing its first airplane at Fort Myers, Virginia, on August 20, 1908. After more testing with an improved Wright Flyer, the Army formerly accepted this airplane, identified as “Airplane No. 1,” on August 2, 1909. In early 1913, the Army ordered its aviators who were training in Augusta Georgia, and Palm Beach, Florida to Texas to take part in the 2nd Division maneuvers. In Galveston on 3 MAR, the chief Signal Oficer designated the assembled men and equipment the the “1st Provisional Aero Squadron” with Capt. Charles DeF. Chandler as squadron commander. They began flying activities a few days later. On 4 DEC, general orders redesignate the unit as the 1st Aero Squadron, effective 8 DEC. The first military unit of the U.S. Army devoted exclusively to aviation has remained continuously active since its creation. Air Force Day was established on August 1, 1947, by President Truman "in recognition of the personnel of the victorious Army Air Forces and all those who have developed and maintained our nation's air strength." August 1 was chosen to mark the 40th anniversary of the establishment, in 1907, of the Aeronautical Division in the Office of the Chief Signal Officer of the Army.
