WITH A PAY CHEQUE PROTECTOR PLAN ? OH,YOU'RE ALL SET THEN. Huron Lodge No. 377 of the Ladies Orange Benevolent As- sociation celebrated their 42nd anniversary in the form of a banquet held at the Presbyter- ian Church, Clinton, last Tues- day. Following the meal, 65 Or- ange ladies and Orangemen re- tired to the lodge room, where a Scarlet meeting was held. The Worthy Mistress, Mrs. Pet- er Harrison, was introduced to the Right Worshipful Grand Mistress, Sister Bertha Addy, Hamilton and Sister Anderson, an honorary member of Grand Lodge. The Worthy Mistresses of Seaforth, Mitchell, L u c a n, '03y 'J. CARL IIE We live in a Democracy! We believe that questions should be decided by a vote of those concerned and that the minor- ity must abide by the decision of the majority. Recently our newspapers headlined the defeat of a vote of confidence motion on the nuclear arms policy of the Pearson government by a vote of 124 to 113 with 28 members either absent or abstaining. Our news commentators were quite emphatic in pro- nouncing this a great victory for the government and went on to state that Mi. Pearson's hand in procuring nuclear arms was greatly strengthened by this vote. But was it? Would you feel very secure when there were twice as many eligible voters missing than your majority? Would you feel very confi- dent in your program when you realize that quite a large num- ber of those who voted to sup- port the program didn't really approve but were strongly op- pdsed to facing another general election. Add to this number the mem- bers Who believe their party to be infallible and vote accord- ingly and I wonder how many were truly in favor of the pro- gram. This may seem to be unfair government so let us look around us. Let's go to a co-op board meeting of say 14 members. Sorry, two couldn't attend. An important question comes up for discussion. It becomes quite apparent that the chairman and a couple of the older mem- bers thought up the project and favor it strongly. Some of the other members see grave weak- nesses in the proposal and point them out. WeFIC .Thle FIRM YOU SHOULD CALL. FOR REAL, SATISFACTION . . Woodham and St: Marys, which were the guest lodges, were al- so introduced. Brother Oliver Jacques, of- ficer of the Royal . Black Knights Grand Lodge; Brother Jamieson, Woodhani, and Bro- ther Clayton Hodgins, Clinton, both a south-county lodge of- ficer and the Master of the Clinton LOL No. 710, Brother Alex McMichael, were all giv- en recognition. Following the opening of the meeting, the Clinton officers retired from their stations and the Woodham and St. Marys ladies exemplified the Scarlet degree at which time Mrs. Jan Koene was initiated into the A vote is taken, seven for and five against. In other words one supporter's vote avoided a tie. Two votes by supporters prevented defeat. Did these two really vote for the proposal? Or did they simply vote in favor of the chairman, or as is usually the case, the president. On the strength of a vote of this kind is the board justified in making an important de- cision? ' Now let us go to a church board meeting. Are questions decided on their merit or are they decided so that the min- ister or leading elder or lead- ing contributor won't be of- fended? This is Democracy. It has its strength but we must also recognize its weaknesses. Both of these rest with us? the people of our democracy. We can make it what we want it to be. We can take the road that looks easy. We can elect people we happen to like, people who may return us some favor or we can elect people who will do what is right. We can elect people who will do what is presently expedient or those who will decide issues on their merit. It is easy to throw rocks at the government, the local co-op or your church board but remember we elected these gov- erning bodies. If we cast our ballots for personal gain we can be sure that the people we elect will also cast their ballots for per- sonal gain. Let a word to the wise . . . second degree. Following this the Grand Mistress gave an inspiring ad- dress. She also • presented Mrs, Tom Deeves and Mrs. Walby Burton with 35 year service pins and Mrs. Henry Sloman with a 25 year service pin. Only one honorary member of the Clinton Lodge was present, Mrs. Wes Shobbrook. Following the close of the meeting, several draws took place. The winner of the $50 draw was Howard Allan, Bruce- field. A penny sale was then enjoyed in the basement follow- ed by a delicious lunch of birthday cake, ice cream, tea and coffee.
