was still undecided. Both Merch-
ants and Bt. Columban came up
with victories that left them each
tied for first spot. Next Monday's

should be -full of excitement. It'll
determine a leader.
The first game of the night was
a clash between Egmondville and
St. Columban. The tight goal tend. -
Big of Teddy 'Tube 'Keine gave the
edge needed for St. Columban • to
take the decision 7-3.
Merchants were -able to put
down the cellar -dwelling Winthrop
team by the score of 11-6. Although
the Merchants had but seven men,

some one would say, and,. although
the tavern had long siege disarp-

was. I do ain't know whether foul

brawls, or whether it was a tem-
perance house (although Lethink
thio andikeky). I do not knowelf
the. proprietor -was genial, the bar
maids pretty, ithe beds clean, or
the food good.
But I do know this. The Red
Tavern must have made saline -con-
tribution to the life' of this district,
e-
else it would not be so long r,
membered. - •
The inns which have served' the
Huron Tract made a real and vita,
contribution to the opening"up of
this part of the land and they were
just about the first organized com-
mercial institution• to be found
here. They came along with the
Huron Road at about the time
when it was opened in 1828. Ac-
cording to the plans, they were to
be spotted at seven -mile Intervale
between Waterloo and 1Goderith. I
don't think they were quite that
frequent, but they came often en-
ough, and how badly needed they
were!
Most of the settlers who came in
to carve out ;their eiomes in the
primeval forest made 'the greater
part of the journey on foot. If they
were fortunate enough to own an
ox and wagon or a pony and cart,
it was used to carry their imple-
ments, tools, supplies and the chil-
dren too small to walk. Everybody
else went on foot. It was essen-
tial, then, that there were plenty
of inns along the route where these
slow -travelling pioneers could rest
for the night and And refreshment
before continuing their next day's
journey.
These first taverns were called
"houses of entertainment."
Can you think of a happier
phrase?
'And what a happy tradition was
established at that early time!
Soon, taverns and inns mushroom-
ed up all over the area -places like
the Red Tavern sprang into being
and as civilization began to con-
quer the ,primaitiire ways of early
pioneer life, the inns were always
in the vanguard.
Some of them were undolibtedly

• I heard not so long ago of a man-,
driving home to be at his father's
deathbed. His car broke down not
eer out of London, but about three-
quarters of a mile from a filling
station. He found the station clos-
ed but noticed that the owner lived
upstairs. He pounded on the door
and tonally the owner opened the
window and told him to get the
hell out of there! He refused to
help him or let hixa use his tele-
phone. The wayfarer walked for
over a mile and a half in zero
weather trying to find a farmhouse
which would open up for him. One
goodhearted farmer set his dogs
on him. His nose and ears were
frozen and all the time lie was
suffering the torment of knowing
that each minute's delay lessened
the chances of his ever seeing lis
father alive.
My friends, we have "progressed"
a long way from the early days of
the taverns. We have settled and
civilized the land, and vie are proud
of the accomplishment. We can
traverse in an hour what it took
our ancestors days to cover. We
have 'phones, light, central heat-
ing, clean lavatories and juke box-
es to mark our great advance in
living conditions.
_ But a man can still freeze alone
in the cold if he doesn't come at
the right hours.
The old inns may have had their
faults and sometimes they may
have encouraged some of those
things which our do -good neighbors
call vice and sin, but they did not
harbor an attitude of mind or ac-
cept a code of law which complete-
ly dries up the milk of human kind -
nese on a cold and desolate might.
You can call it good social legis-
lation if you want to. I'd call it
barbarian.:
