When Charles Stansfeld Jones stepped aside as Master of the Lodge at their 1916 New Years' celebration. He appointed Dawson to succeed him for the first half of the year and W.C. Clark for the remainder of the year. Dawson resigned from this duty at the Lodge meeting of 25 January 1916, feeling that is was his patriotic duty to enlist in the military.
