BOWLERS ACTIVE
BRAVERY REWARD 1/ DURING WEEK
Thirty-five lodges from Perth and
Huron jammed into the Village of
Brussels for their Twelfth of July
celebration.
The Rev. E. O. Gallagher, rector of
St. Paul’s Anglican Church in Wing
ham, and deputy 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.
I Today we dedicate ourselves anew to
building up a strong nation devoted to
the ideals that the Fathers of Confed
eration had when they dropped their
political and provincial differences to
draft the constitution of the new do
minion. We are to fight against war
ring parties, unions and idealogies, be
cause the present crises in the world
are caused by deliberate training of
people in the bad habits of fear, hate,
intolerance, greed and war. Educa
tion based upon political science and
‘ religious social life will control Com
munism. It doesn’t really matter what
kind of algebra and Latin o-ur child
ren are taught but they must learn all
about the democracy and what it
means to them.”
Chairman for the afternoon ' was
, County Master McMurray, of Bel-
’ grave, and the address of welcome to
the visitors was given by Reeve Wal-
