Mr. Peter Cantelon County Secretary, estimated that more than 10,000 visiting 'from North, South and West Huron, Bruce Co, Perth end Middlesex, turned out to celebrate the ,historic day. Despite the war and its demands the number parading last year was exceeded this year, according to estimates. Many a stalwart member of the order sleeps on the 8attietield in Europe, many or them are still 'fighting in the trenches. or getting ready 'for the 'fray.: But the enthusiasm of the members was stimulated by the remembrance of its heroes and the old fighting instincts of the Or- ange Order were aroused as the ., ilia airs strains s o8 tarn; , r s martin t u 1 greeted the ear.
