Seventy Lodges Gather For
Annual Celebration and
To Hear Speakers.
BIG ATHLETIC
PROGRAM
More then 8,000 members of forty
district lodiges from Perth, Huron and
South Bete* Counties jammed into
the Village of Brtiasels for one of
the county's.gti•eahest Twelfth of July
celebrations ever ,.kn,owa in the dis-
trict.
The Rev. E. O. Gallagher, Rector
of St. Paul's Anglican, Church in
Wltnghem, and dieputy grand chaplain
for Ontario West, representing the
grand lodge, declared in his remarks:
"We celebrate today when, there is a
better national feeling than for many
years. Today we diedicate ourselves
anew to building up a strong nation
devoted to the ideals' that the Fathers
of Confederation had when they drop-
ped their political and provincial dif-
ferences to draft the constitution of
the new dominion. We are to fight
against warring parties, unions and
idealogies', because the present crises
an the world are paused• by deliber-
ate training of people in the bad'hab-
its of fear, 'hate, tolerance, greed and
war. Education based upon political
science and religious social life will
oonrtl-ol Coan`inunigm. It doesn't real-
ly mailer what kind) of algebra and
Latin our children are taught but
they mtus+t learn all about the democ-
racy and what it means to them.”
Chalirmlan for the afternoon was
County Master McMurray, of Bel -
grave, and the address; of welcome to
the vislitore was given by- Reeve Wel-
ter Kerr, of Brussels.
"Our leaders ane not outspoken en-
ougt i," declared Past County Master
L. E. Cardiff, of Morris; Tovensthip,
p:nesent Oonsei•vative candidate for
North Huron, wleo represented Brus-
sels Lodge, No. 774, "and loyalty
should: be stressed in everyday life.
By that I mean loyalty to the com-
munity and above all, loyalty to our
country."
"The Loyal Orange , Lodge has stood.
the test of the ages and has now
coma to meet a need," declared -Rev.
W. J. Hendry, the Anglican minister
from Brussels. "We must come to
know the Bible better and at no time'
should we 'have prejudices. We must
foster the spirit of love, malting no
en'e'mies. The Loyal Orange Lad.ge
must stand for the things that abide."
Rev. Mr. Kerr, the Presbyterian
pastor, in Brussels, declared: - "We
must be loyal to the empire, many of
the forces, at work at the present
time help us to see the stabilizing
force of the British Empire. It's not
the vaatn.ess of the empire but the
quality of its people that make it so
lasting. Cromwell gathered together
a God fearing band of men, a remark-
able army, and made false things
tremble. We need to get back to the
basic principles' of the word of God
and so mako our oon'tributlons to the
empire."
Nat Givens, a visitor in Brussels,
and a past grand master for Sas-
katchewan, declared that the lodges
must keep up an interest in politics.
Oraugeis+m must be a good fighter to
accomplish what it's ordained to be.
Bandts we'ne present from Brussels,
B1ybh, Listowel, Clinton and Lucl:now
and the Blyth organization took first,
prize. The l.arges>t . bodge present
came frown Britton in Perth County.
The largest ladies' lodge was Clin-
ton. M,ns. Mary Wolfe, of Muskoka,
was awarded the prize as the best
drummer, and Mr. H. Johnson, of
Blyth, was the best fifer. The oldest
Orangemen present was Robert Hum-
phrey, 94 -year-old Atwood resident,
v. -no has, been an active Orangeman
for 74 years a•nsI a close runererr-up
was David Cantelon, of Clinton, 92
years old.
A large crowd saw three races
which were sponsored by the Brus-
sels Turf Club.
Bell's Brussels Belies girls' 'softball
team defeated Ripley in a softball
match by the score of 15-8. .Tees -
water dfelfelated 13iyth 12-6 in foot-
bali. A. C. "Shorty" Finlayson, fly-
ing instructor from Goderich Sky Har-
bor airport, had the crowd gasping,
with his aerial stunting. A full pro-
gram of at.hietifc events filled out the
pr-ognani for live afternoon and the
