We had an excellent guide, who explained everything so well and showed us the different rooms in the building that have been restored. On the balcony we had a good view of the Thames River and surrounding land marks, finishing with a walk-in tour of the old jail cells. Everyohe agreed it was a very enjoyable and in- formative tour.

Ruth Hill and Mary Scott will attend the meeting and banquet on Thursday, while Gladys Cunn- ingham and Edie Worthington will at- tend Friday's session and luncheon.

To celebrate 100 years in the Hall, the Lodge held a past grands night and an occasion to honour the veteran members. At the present time there are 15 members over the 50 years bracket namely Bro.

Balkwill, Archie Etherington and Ken Hockey. A number of these brothers along with other past Grands opened and closed Lodge. Bro. Garnet flicks gave an in teresting resume of the history of the Fraternity from the beginning in 1871. Tribute was paid to the early members who had laid such a firm foundation in the early years and their actions certainly present a challenge for the present members to follow.
