HARVEY WARD SMITH Grand Master 1960-61

HARVEY WARD SMITH

. By birth, our Grand Master is a Hoosier, having been born in Columbia City, Indiana, on January 20, 1908. As of this writing, how- ever, that is about the only thing that would indicate he has ever spent any great length of time above the. Mason-Dixon Line, for he

is as Southern as fried chicken and collard greens,

He was the son of J. Howard Smith and Blanche O. Grimes. His _ father was engaged in the fish processing business and built up quite . an extensive industry .in this field. To all of this, the Grand Master has applied his observable skill in organization and business acumen and has achieved remarkable success in extending the business in such manner that its operations now are spread out along the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico coastlines, and even into South America. His firm is the biggest in the business and our Grand Master is the operating head of his Empire.

Harvey has been living in Beaufort so long that actually it is difficult to realize any other place could have claimed him. This little and beautiful coastal town in North Carolina has been proud to boast oí his residence there and is confident of the fact that the first Car- teret County resident ever to become Grand Master of Masons in ‘North Carolina is going to represent them, wherever he goes, in a manner truly befitting the high type of Masonic citizenship for which

they have long been noted.

The Grand Master received his publie schooling in the Middle- town Township Public Schools, New Jersey. Then he attended the New York Military Academy from which he was duly graduated, later going on to Washington and Lee University for his college training. Following this, he entered the business world in the industry his fa- ther has founded and gave such steadfast attention to the duties re- quired of him that he now, not only has become the operating head of the corporation, but he is also known all over the country and in sev- eral foreign countries by leaders in this business and also in govern- ment.

Harvey is a civie-minded man and is always alert to the needs of his people. He is a member of the Board of Trustees of the Red Bank Hospital in Red Bank, New Jersey. He is genuinely warm- hearted; he loves people, and especially Masons. He gives liberally to all good causes and he does this completely without ostentation. As a matter of fact, when he was District Deputy Grand Master he put one lodge on its feet, paying all of the costs of the same out of his own pocket. Futhermore, the beautiful Chapel at the Masonic' and Eastern Star Home is now a much more beautiful place and far more conducive to worship because of the Memorial Windows, all of which

were installed therein through the generosity of our Grand Master.

He was. initiated an Entered Apprentice on December 19, 1940, and it is said that when the hood-wink was removed, the future Grand Master opened his eyes and for the first time saw and realized that the men who had made this opportunity available to him, in many in- stances were men who worked for him in the local plant in Beaufort.

He was so filled with gratitude it is reported he declared, “This is what I've been wanting all my life.” He has never ceased to show his appreciation for the levelling influence of Masonry. This occured in Franklin Lodge Number 109. He was Passed to the Degree of Fellow- craft on February 17th, 1941, and Raised to the Sublime Degree of Master Mason four days later, February 21st, 1941.

Evidence of his immediate interest in and concern for Masonry is found in the fact that only four years later he was serving his lodge as its Master, 1944. His brethren from Beaufort will tell you that this was the year in which their lodge was re-activated and that Harvey was the motivating force behind the re-activation.

In 1946 he was appointed District Deputy Grand Master by Most Worshipful William J. Bundy and he was subsequently re-appointed in 1947, and in 1948. The District meeting that he held in 1946 in Morehead City is still regarded as one of the highlights of Masonry in Eastern Carolina. In fact, no meeting in North Carolina that year had larger attendance. The report that he filed on his activities as D.D. G.M., for that year is regarded as one of the classics in this type of reporting.

He was appointed Grand Steward of the Grand Lodge by Most Worshipful Edwin T. Howard and rose steadily through the various places and stations until April 20, 1960, when he was elevated by his brethren to the exalted position of Grand Master.

He is a member of all the York Rite Bodies, of the Allied Ma- sonic Degrees, (of the Societas Rosicruciana in Civitatibus Foedera- tis) and of the Red Cross of Constantine. He was a DeMolay in Red Bank, New Jersey, and in 1953 was elected by the International Su- preme Council to the DeMolay Legion of Honor. He is also one of the few men in North Carolina who hold membership in the Royal Order of Scotland. He was made a Master of the Royal Secret, or 32? of the Scottish Rite, in April 1944. As a reward of recognition for his efforts for the Scottish Rite, he was invested with the Rank and Decoration of Knight Commander of the Court of Honor, on October 24, 1945. In recognition of his continued devotion and service to Masonry, he was, on October 23, 1959, coronetted Sovereign Grand Inspector General, Honorary, or 33”, by the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite for the Southern Jurisdiction.

Our Grand Master has also taken a great interest in the Shrine, being initiated into that Mystic Circle on May 22, 1941, Sudan Temple of New Bern. In 1956 he was appointed by Illustrious Brother Clar- ence H. Parker, Potentate of Sudan Temple, and beloved citizen of the metropolis of Belcross, as Outer Guard. He has advanced each year and now holds the position of First Ceremonial Master. This means, of course, that in about four or five years we may expect to see him occupying the honored position o£ Potentate of Sudan Temple. It is worthy of note also that he is the proud possessor of a perma- nent Contributing Membership in the Shrine's Crippled Children's Hospital.

There are many other orders and clubs in which our Grand Master holds membership for he has always yielded to his innate desire to be among friends and to associate with them.

There are also many other achievements that might be listed, but no doubt his greatest achievement, and the source of his greatest pride and inward happiness, was in the selection of his life's companion, the former Evelyn Chadwick, of Beaufort, North Carolina, a young lady of charm with a keen and discerning mind, to say nothing of her in- tense and sympathetic interest in her husband'a Masonic activities. No greater asset does he possess.

And, ineidentally, he is a Methodist.
