*Wingham Defeats Zurich Juveniles 6-3
In Game Marred by Fisticuff Displays
Mf Lockridge's Wingham Juv-
eniles eame through with a 6-3
victory over the Zurich Lions Ju-
veniles in an afternoon WOAA
game played on Saturday in the
Hensall Arena.
Being played on Boxing Day
frust have had an effect on the
players, as twice in the game
fisticuffs broke loose. The first
battle started in the second) per-
iod when Paul Weido and Bill
Crawford started exchanging
blows in front of the Zurich net.
Before order was restored at least
seven or eight players had joined
the fracas.
The second outbreak came near
the end of the game, when Bill
Wagner and Templeman went at
each other with fists flying. Bro-
ther Earl Wagner was quick to
get into the mixup, which ended
up with Zurich receiving two pen-
alties and Wingham one.
In the hockey playing part of
the game Wingham took an early
3-1 lead in the first period, with
Walker, Lockridge and Fry each
scoring once. "Woody" Weido
banged in the lone Zurich goal, on
a pass from Gerard Overholt and
Wayne Willert.
Fry and Templeman each scor-
ed once in the second period for
the visitors, to give them a 5-1
lead at that point of the game.
Bob Johnston brought the locals
back into the game at the 9.15
mark of the third period, when he
scored unassisted, but at the 18.11
mark Kerr insured the visitors of
victory by scoring unassisted, The
final tally of the game came at
the 19.05 mark, when Bob John-
ston again scored unassisted.
A total of 20 penalties were
handed out in the game, 12 of
them going to Winghazn and eight
to Zurich Five of the eight pen-
alties called against the locals
were for fighting.

Loyal Orange Lodge at Varna Will
Celebrate Hundredth Anniversary
The Loyal Orange Lodge No.
1035, are celebrating their 100th
anniversary this winter as their
charter was granted on December
17, 1859.
Most of the land around Varna
was settled in the 1820 and 1830's
by Scottish and Irish settlers,
some of them being Orangemen in
the old country, but it was not
till 1859 that they found time to
forrn an Orange Lodge and elect
William McClymont as their first
Master.
As there was then no hall in
the village they rented a large
room in a local hotel until the
?Royal Templers built the present
hall, which the Orangemen ren-
ted. Also the Forresters and
Maccabees rented this hall, so it
is not hard to imagine it being a
very busy hall, with four societ-
ies meeting once or twice a mon-
th.
The hall was situated across
from the present public school
where it remained till 1895 when
it was moved to a lot east of
John Aldington's house, until 1952.
Then it was again moved to its
present site, placed on a cement
foundation, and completely reno-
vated inside and out.
The list of officers in 1868 were:
Thomas Simpson, Joe Caldwell,
John Walker, John McClymont,
Henry Hudson and Thomas Mc-
Clymont. Other members were
James Foote, John McClaren,
James McFarlane, John Redmond,
John Foster, William McKearn,
Thomas Cook, John Turner, John
Duncan, William and Alex Mc-
Clymont.
The lodge grew in numbers fast.
Almost every meeting new mem-
bers would be initiated, sometimes
seven or eight on one might. On
the morning of the 12th, the mem-
bers would meet at 5 or 5.30 a.m.
then drive to the celebration or
drive to Brucefieid and take the
train to where the celebration was
held.
In 1880 the lodge paid John
Sparrow $2 to take the music and
banner to Goderich. A feature of
the twelfth morning was a parade
through the village which is still
a yearly event.
The members were always
ready to lend a helping hand to
those in need as the minutes re-
cord money being paid out for
doctors bills, also funeral expen-
ses and once to erect a tombstone
for various members.
Another tradition was the an-
nual oyster supper on the 5th of
November, which is still carried
out in the form of a turkey sup-
per each year.
In 1880 the officers were: Al-
bert Robinson; John Pollock, Char-
les Foster, William Rathwell, Jam-
es Stewart, John Sparrow, D.
Robinson, James McClymont, J.
Turner,
Discipline was strict. Members
who missed three consecutive
meetings were summoned and
were required to give a good rea-
son for being absent or be fined
25 cents.
The officers in 1910 were: Geor-
ge Beatty, Sr.; Isaac Rathwell,
John Rathwell, Ben Rathwell,
Sam Johnston, Frank Weeks,
George Johnston, David Johnston,
J. T. Reid, William Logan, J. W.
Reid, John Johnston and Walter
Rathwell.
During both world wars the
lodge was active in raising money
or helping in any way they could.
Several members enlisted and
some paid the supreme sacrifice.
In 1951 the lodge sponsored the
celebration in Bayfield which was
one of the best held in that vil-
lage.
During recent years the mem-
bers have operated the local skat-
ing rink in the United Church
shed which has been a great pleas-
ure to both old and young during
the winter months.
The oldest member in the lodge
at present is Bro. Ben Rathwell,
who joined the lodge in 1898 and
who was presented a year ago
with an Honorary Certificate. Two
other members who received cer-
tificates were George H. Johnston
and Nelson Reid.
The names of the Worshipful
Masters during the 100 years are:
William McClymont, Thomas
Simpson, John Walker, John Mc-
Clyanont, John Robinson, John
Johnston, John Torrance, Albert
Redmond, William Rathwell, Char-
les Foster, George Beatty, John
Reid, John Rathhwell, Ben Rath -
well, Carl Diehl, Fred McClymont,
J. W. Johnston, W. R.. Stephenson,
Charles Stephenson, Elmer Web-
ster, Roy Keys, Ansen Coleman,
Percy Johnston, Nelson Reid Wat-
son Webster, Russell Consitt,
Lorne Coleman, Robert Taylor,
Orrin Dowson, Wilfred Chuter,
Lloyd Keys and the present mas-
ter Frank McClinchey.
TO ALL OUR FRIENDS AND CUSTOMERS:
We wish to take this opportunity of saying
"Thank -You" for your loyal patronage
in the past. May you all have a most

BY DOROTHY BARKER
Editors are often afflicted with
the same habit, They hang in the
subconscious regions of their
minds a barometer which registers
either what they consider their
success or failure in their chosen
fild. This instrument is affected
almost daily by the brickbats and
bouquets they receive from their
readers. In my early vagabonding
days, as I made my weekly entries
in this diary, I missed this device
for measuring readership reaction
to my efforts.
Then letters began appearing in
my post office box with a bold
"Please forward" as an identifying
symbol that inside would be wel-
come suggestions or criticisms.
First there was the letter from
an editor who wrote that my early
experience in a roomette had in-
fluenced him to change his habit
of reserving a different mode of
train accommodation, in order to
find out whether he had become
muscle-bound or witless while
chained to an editor's chair. He
wrote that if I could cope with
the routine of retiring in a room-
ette, se could he on his planned
trip to New York.
Then out of the west came an-
other "fan letter"! This one en-
closed a missive from the letter
writer's sister in Melbourne, Aust-
ralia . . . The weekly home town
paper, she said, is always forward-
ed to this transplanted relative
and her enclosed letter was secret-
ly satisfying. I am only sorry
that I cannot accept her invitation
to visit Australia. Not because I
am afraid I might get mixed up
with a kangaroo and travel pouch -
wise across the country down un-
der, but merely because I can get
into enough trouble on my native
soil without seeking green past-
ures on the other side of the owrld.
There was the letter from a citi-
zen in a small town in New Bruns-
wick inviting me to visit that com-
munity and I must admit . the
promise of shore dinners and late.
ocean sails has me hooked. Fundy
National Park is already marked'
as a must for next summer's travel
schedule.
From the International border,
an editor wrote that he would be
happy to show me the beauty of
the Peace Garden in the Three
Lakes area of south western Mani-
toba. This too, gave me a happy
sense of anticipation for future
travel plans.
As this diary is not often an-
instruemnt for editorial comment,
my old habit of being too out-
spoken on controversial matters
has not come in for letters of eith-,
er applauding approval of derission•
which I was wont to receive as an
editor. I think I like much better.
this new type of welcome and ap-
preciation that is becoming a reg-
ular visitor in my mail box.
What a sense of warmth and
friendship a letter telling of an-
other's experience in midwifery-
gave
idwiferygave me after a reader of a Brit-
ish Columbia weekly wrote that
she had enjoyed the entry about
the baby ,barn aboard the CNR,
train on its way through the Rock-
ies. And the one from the gentle-
man who claimed he was one of
the "unshaven, who was the vic-
tim of mamma's determination to
sit it out in the men's quarters of
the train bound from Halifax to
Montreal" which I wrote about in
an article recently.
These unseen and unknown
friends, which I am making.
through the columns of weeklies
across Canada, have given me a
new sense of values and, indeed,
a new sense of my responsibility -
as a columnist recording Canada
and my association with Its citi-
zens. • -
Readers from coast to coast can
be assured their letters are always
more than welcome. They are in-
deed a barometer of the diary's
readership, which I greatly apprec-
