Masonic Temple to hold auction
SPRINGFIELD - One man's closet full of vintage Masonic heavy wool waistcoats might be another man's treasure. That is the hope of the Springfield Masonic Temple as it prepares for an auction of furnishings and other items, scheduled for today at 11 a.m. at the historic Masonic Building, 339 State St. A preview was held yesterday and another was scheduled for today from 9 to 11 a.m. The auction is needed because the association - attempting to sell the building and move to a smaller site - is unable to keep all the current belongings, said President Robert E. Karowski. "It's very sad it has come to this," he said. "It's a very beautiful building, has a lot of history. We are keeping what we feel we need for the new building." The new site has not been finalized yet and a potential buyer of the current building has not yet been able to secure funding, Masonic officials said.
Also on the Logs
The pistons on a driveway gate were pushed in and broken, according to Ivan Roman, the caretaker for Caroline Lloyd's Town Lane house. Mr. Roman discovered the damage last Thursday, but found no sign that anyone had broken into the house or damaged anything else. The pistons will cost $2,500 to replace, he said. On April 6, John Glennon, who was working at a neighboring house, noticed that the front door to the Dombrowski residence was ajar. Four days later, after he saw it was still open, he called police, who found that part of the glass door had been smashed. A detective found nothing missing or disturbed inside, according to a report. Bridgehampton Victoria Phoenix, the manager at Hampton Hound, reported on Saturday that someone had “intentionally" broken the front window of the Montauk Highway store on April 6.
ALAN GOLD: Big Brother targets little bothers
IF it weren't so serious, it could be a Monty Python skit on British television. Only the British could have come up with a scheme for barking closed-circuit television cameras.
After a trial in the north of England, the ubiquitous street cameras that record the movements of Britons on their way to work and the shops have been fitted nationally with loudspeakers so some civil servant in a control room kilometres away can shout at a litter lout to pocket his rubbish and take it home. With more than four million CCTV cameras on lamp posts, that's an awful lot of parental control. Tony Blair and his Home Secretary John Reid have defended the scheme, saying it's a necessary minor inconvenience to prevent a small number of anti-social misfits and vandals from defacing the land.
Secret underground factory helped win Israel’s War of Independence
REHOVOT, Israel-Sitting in the laundry room of what used to be a working kibbutz on Kibbutzim Hill in the middle of Rehovot, Israel, it is impossible to guess where or how the brave kibbutzniks made their way underground to the secret bullet factory that produced nearly three million bullets in three years and helped win Israel's War of Independence in 1948.Everything at the Ayalon Institute is exactly as it was six decades ago, but for the fact that the kibbutz is now a museum and there is no British army station just down the hill and under whose nose about 40 men and women contributed clandestinely to the founding of the State.The Ayalon Institute's fascinating story is about a top-secret operation that took place during the years between the end of WWII and Israel's War of Independence.Under the vigilant eyes of the British who ruled the area, a clandestine plant for the production of much-needed bullets was built underground in anticipation of the armed struggle between Jews and Arabs in Israel (and neighboring Arab countries) that came with the termination of the British Mandate.It was built in just three weeks as a cooperative effort between members of Hatzofim Aleph, a pioneer group, members of the local Jewish clandestine military, and Haganah trainees.
