Grand Master of Ontario Black Knights
Expresses His Views .on a National Flag.
"I think we will have a national
flag in Canada before many
years," John IvIorrison, of Sarnia,
grand master of the Grand Black
Chapter of Ontario West, Royal
Black Knights of Ireland, told a
large gathering March 25, in On-
tario Street United Church hall,
here.
"I have been criticized," he said,
"by some who think we should
have a distinctive flag, but I feel
sure we will continue at least to
have the Union Jack on any flag
design for this country,"
The occasion was a reception to
the grand master by Huron Sir
Knights, their ladies and many
friends.
The Grand Master was introduc-
ed by Sir Knight Oliver Jaques
and the reply, was made by Sir
Knight Charles Stewart.
Mr, Morrison and his wife were
presented with a carving set. Ro-
bert Hibbert, Ferdwich, past coun-
ty master of Huron officiated at
the ceremony.
The Rev, J. T. White, Londes-
boro expressed doubt as to the
feasibility of co-existence with
communism and drew a parallel
between Roman Catholic and pro-
testant religions.
Master of ceremonies was Max
Switzer, Woodham, county mast-
er of Huron Black Chapter, Oth-
er speakers were Harold Watson,
London, deputy grand master of
Ontario west; T. R. Elliott, Lon-
don, grand lecturer, Ontario west
and county master of Middlesex;
Oliver Jacques, grand lecturer of
Ontario west; Dr. A. F. Cooper,
Toronto, (former student at Clin-
ton Collegiate Institute) deputy
grand master of the Grand Black
Chapter of British America; Will-
iam Campbell, county master,
North Huron LOL, and Borden
Brown, county master South Hur-
on LOL.
Mr, Watson made an appeal for
consideration of older members.
"In our order," he said, "we should
honor our senior members for the
effort they have given to the or-
ganization."
Included in the program were
solos by Mrs. Clayton Hodgins,
"Bless This House," and "The Old
Rugged Cross." A piano instrum-
ental was played by Mrs. Jack
VanEgmond.
Rev. Giant Mills spoke briefly.
The Very Worshipful Sir. Knight
Walter Scott thanked the Com-
mittee of the Woman's Associa-
tion of the church, headed by Mrs.
J. B. Lavis, for their work in
catering for the dinner.

Exeter Jury Decides
Fatal Fall From Car
'A jury investigating the death
of LAC Allan George Lockie, who
died. March II when he fell from
a moving car on highway 4, de-
cided "death was accidental and
entirely due to Lockie's actions",
The jury added: "Previous con-
sumption of alcohol may have
been a factor in the death".
Inquest was held Wednesday
afternoon, March 25, in Exeter
town hall with Coroner Dr. J.
G. Goddard, Hensall, presiding.
H. G. Hays, QC, Goderich, con-
ducted the hearing.
LAC Lockie fell out of a car
travelling from Hensall to Cent-
ralia in the early morning. The
accident happened one mile south
of Hensall.
Cpl, James W. Blackburn, driv-
er of the car, said Lockie, LAC
A. J. McCoy and himself had
gone to Hensh-arena to curl and
then went to the liensall Legion
where they talked, played euchre
and drank a few beers. Blackburn
said he had four pints between
the time he arrived at .9.30 and
left at 1 a.m. The beer was pur-
chased from the Legion bartend-
er, Leonard Noakes.
They gave Lawrence Baynham;
Hensall, who locked up the Legion
hall, a ride home before starting
down No, 4 for Centralia.
Blackburn said he did not see
Lockie fall out of the car. The
first thing he knew was McCoy
saying, with urgency, "George
jumped out of the car!"
Blackburn said he hadn't noticed
Lockie was gone because he was
concentrating on driivng; it was,
a very cold night and the defrost-
er wasn't warmed up yet.
He . said he did not see the
door open and didn't realize Lock-
ie was gone until he stopped the
car and looked over.'
As soon as the car stopped, he
put it in reverse and was about
to back up when he thought he
might back over Lockie so he
pulled off to the side of the road
and followed McCoy back to where
Lockie was lying on the shoulder.
He then went to Exeter for
help,
He said Lockie had not been
showing any out of the ordinary
effects of liquor. Lockie liked an
argument and had had several
at the Legion. He had not noticed
that Lockie felt sick to his sto-
mach,
LAC Andrew J. McCoy, who
was sitting in the centre of the
front seat, said all he saw was
the seat of Lockie's pants going
out the, door. He fell out of the
car facing north-west.
He confirmed that Lockie was
a bit argumentive by nature,
Dr. John Penistan, provincial
pathologist, said cause of death
was cerebral hemorrhage due to
fracture of skull. Death came in
a matter of seconds, he estimated.
He also noted abrasions on
back, shoulder and face. Cloth-
ing was torn around shoulder. He
did not think that, from his con-
dition, he had opened the car door
to vomit
The alcoholic content showed
about eight or nine pints during
the evening.
Leonard Noakes, Hensall, test-
ified the group was jovial but not
overly so; there was no Signs of
drunkenness, The men were not
Legion members, he said, but me
mbers of a group to which Hens-
all, Legion sells beVerages.
Cpl, Erskine, of the identifica-
tion branch of the OPP, said the
exterior of the car showed no
signs or marks of blood, flesh,

drive over 200,000 miles in, the
pursuit of their many community
projects.
Centralia Airman's
Was Accidental
fibre or anything to indicate it
had been in contact with a human
being. There was no sign of a
struggle.
Constable George Mitchell, who
investigated the accident, said
the breath of both men smelled
of alcohol but he saw no sign of
impairment.
He noticed that the, car door
scraped against the frame when
it was opened or closed and it
didn't swing too easily. The con-
stable said he could not open it
by throwing his body against it.
The constable also examined the
door handle on Lockie's own car.
It opens by pushing up whereas
the Blackburn car door opened by
pushing down.
Jury included Duncan Cooper,
RR 2, Kippen; Delbert Geiger, RR
2, Zurich; Theodore Steinback, RR
3, Zurich; Milford Schilbe, Zurich;
Alfred Moffat, Kippen. — Exeter
