Sudden Death Game Ends-
-1 in Favor of
Airmen:
St. Columban was eliminated by
Port'Albert Airmen (Headquarters) in
a suddenrdeath' game for champion-
ship of the SouthiSection bf the Huron
Football League on Wednesday even-
ing: The game ended 2-1. •
The garde, Which was the roughest
this season, was witnessed by a large
crow. At times it appeared as if
€he game might get out of hand, as
St. Columban ,••made a - desperate ef-
fort to. tie the ;score near the end of
the second 'half.
There was no scoring during the
first half. Early fn., the second half,
Port Albert'siloceeded in scoring, and
from then on the game was any-
body's.
Just after Port Albert scored, John
O'Connor of the St. Columban team
was ' penalized and sent off for five
minutes. About a minute after re-
turning to the field, &Connor kick-
ed in St. Columban's only goal of the
game.
The Port Albasquad• imunediately
lodged a complaint, . claiming, that
O'Connor had not served tire full five
minutes of his penalty and that he
had been allowed. to intern to the
field too soon. The goal was allow-
ed however,
It was, near the ,end of the second'
.halt when the Port Albert team
clinched the game with the winning
goal. ' The last few minutes of the
match weres:the roughest seen at St.
Columban for some time as, the Irish
made every effort to save the game.
The Port Albert headquarters team
will now meet the winner of the Port
Albert Flyft g Squadron and Brussels
settee for the Huron ilootball League
title. '

mal •population of 1700 was swelled
to eight times that number- Streets
throughout the town were lined with
cars until late in the evening, and
parking was at a premium.
Highlight of the day's celebration
was the hour-long parade of 83 lodg-
es, headed by the traditional white
horses on which were Lou- Clarke, of
Hensall, and Carl Diehl, of Clinton,
county officials. .Next came the Sea -
forth Highlanders Band and then the
lodges. The, parade was formed at
the Recreation grounds and proceed-
ed along Main Street to Huron:
Street, turned right to Jarvis, north
to Centre, south along Main Street

Principal speaker of the afternoon
was_••W. 13. Kerr, Professor at the Uni-
versity of Buffalo and County Master
of the Welland Orange Lodge.
Tracing the history of Canada, and
how Orangemen have stood loyally
by, the side of their country at • all
tithes, the speaker looked into the fu-
ture and -pointed out some important
matters which he felt the Orangemen
should advocate. •
"We should advocate • that the Bri-
tish Empire Training Plan be ,con-
tinued when this war is over."' de-
'ciared •the speakee • "Canada should
lie a central training ground for Eng-
land. because C'anttcla is far enough
iemoved , from the Continent which
is a breeding•grourd for trouble. The
ports .61 Canada should be extended
for the use of the British navy and
the faciaties of C•enada •sli iild be at
band for,the use of the British army."
Protestantism vas praised for its
stand throughout tbe world against
Hitlerism Eby the speaker. He cited
the case of Pastor 'Niemoeller ;of Ger-
many a" : the members of his Luth-
eran Church who are battling Hitler
consistently.
Captain the Rev. W. L. L. Lawr-
ence of Torontc, past. grand master
('Ontario West- and past deputy chap -
I lain of the world, was the next speak-
er, and pointed out that the Orange
Order came into being to establish
and protect civil aid religious liber-
ty. He stated that Orangemen' have
a sacred duty now in this present
time 'of stress to uphold those sacred
principles of their Order.
"If we don't stand together in a
solid ' phalanx," the speaker said,
"this ' cruel evil of Hitler will comedo
Canada. We won't choose then what
