Barnett, Elmvale, Grand Master Ashick, who spent three weeks in the British Isles and attended the Triennial Council of the World, reported increased membership in England, Ireland and Scotland. In Ontario, he travelled 9,000 miles in visiting lodges and at- tending functions during the year. "Only members with ex- perience," he said "will visualize the hazards encountered, such as weather and road conditions, heavy traffic and strange roads. The reception on all my visits was most kind and encouraging. "A great shock was felt by our provincial jurisdiction with the passing of Brother Walter H. Scott, of Belgrave, grand master of Ontario West. He was unable to fulfil his ambitions and plans for his office. His message on the proclamation revealed that he had a true sense of loyalty to our Association and that he was a firm believer in God." One resolution called upon the minister of education "to be very careful not to introduce any legislation which would infringe in any manner on the right of an individual to exercise his or her freedom of choice. "While we concede the right of a parent to have his or her child educated in the language of their choice," the resolution stated, "we are also firmly convinced that no child should be given a graduation certificate from any level of education in Ontario unless that child has a firm and fluent knowledge of the English language. "We believe that a uniform curriculm should be established for all elementary and secondary schools in the province. "We recommend that the textbooks used in these schools be prepared and written in Canada by Canadians, and, if necessary a competent staff of knowledgeable Canadian educators prepare such textbooks. "We believe that the system of grants should be reviewed, and all unnecessary expenditures be discouraged. No large new schools should be constructed in Custom Slaughtering and Processing To Individual Requirements Cottle and Hogs are Government Inspected in our Modern Abattoir for Your Protection, Specializing in Hickory Smoked Hams and Bacon SLAUGHTERING ON MONDAY ONLY All Processing Guaranteed LOCKERS FOR RENT By Month or Year areas where the projected enrolment does not warrant the building of such schools. "We note with pleasure that a directive has recently been issued to teachers to promote moral values. We commend you, sir, for issuing this directive. This is an area which has been sadly neglected in recent years, to the detriment of the character of the children concerned." Grand Lodge adopted a report from the legislation committee recommending that a com- munication be sent the provincial secretary for justice stating that "we are opposed to large chain stores being allowed to remain open on Sundays, and would be in favor of a ban being placed on their being able to do so. We would favor giving municipalities the power to prosecute those who do so. We would ask the courts to back up municipalities by han- ding out stiff penalties. "We are in favor of allowing small stores dispensing essential services to remain open on Sundays, but would suggest allowing only those stores with a designated limited amount of floor space to do so. "We urge you and the Government of Ontario to proclaim Sunday as a common Day of Rest, when all business establishments in Ontario except those dispensing essential ser- vices would be required to remain closed." Grand Lodge expressed thanks to the session of Knox church for use of the hall, to the police department of Goderich, and the Steer This Way BY LARRY SNIDER Cars with the new acrylic finishes do not need to be wax- ' ed the way older cars do. Nevertheless, a coat of wax or polish does provide an extra layer of protection. Front wheel bearings should be cleaned, repacked and ad- justed every 10,000 to 12,000 miles. Have grease seals in- spected, too. The main news at the Strathroy Middl Middlesex Museum is that the esex hours are being lengthened, beginning May 1. The hours, this summer, will be Monday to Friday, 1 to 5 p.m. closed Saturday and open again on Sunday from 2 to 5 p.m. Having the museum open six afternoons a week will make it easier for people in Middlesex who live at a distance from Strathroy, to be there at the right time; and with the museum listed in the provincial guide to museums, there will be tourists who can visit in passing. ,The Museum board was gratified at the interest shown in the talk by Dr. Clara Thomas, and the full house that greeted her. Dr. Thomas, in a lively presentation, outlined the history of the area, and from con- temporary accounts, made the daily life of the past come alive. She expressed her pleasure that the continuity of life was being emphasized in the museum, with not only the treasurers of past settlers being preverved, but the contribution of those who have come to Canada in this generation being recognized. One interesting fact that she discovered in her research was that the house used as the museum was built by the Murray family, in 1871, for $4,000.00 Earlier it was announced that the "Tulip Tea" at the museum would be held on May 15. It has been necessary to change this date to Thursday May 16. Mrs. Ella Blair will show pictures of Holland, and talk about her visit there from 2 to 3. From 3 to 5, tea will be served, with Dutch sweets. This event, and the Dutch display, at present in the museum, was planned by Mrs. By MRS. RENA CALDWELL Visitors during the past week with Mr. & Mrs. W. L. Mellis were Mrs. Margaret Hutchison, St. Thomas, Mr. & Mrs. Andrew Gibson, Wroxeter and Mr. & Mrs. Tom Burke, Apsley. Mr. Don Kyle, Amherst N.S. visited his parents Mr. & Mrs. D. E. Kyle. Mr. & Mrs. Alex McGregor and Mr. & Mrs. Pat Badley visited in the USA over the weekend. Zwart, Mrs. Stolnan, Mrs, Kniken, and Mrs. McKellar, with help, of course from many others. An interesting recent donation to the museum is A cupboard from Stepler's Drug StOrO in Strathroy, with small drawers for drugs. The white porcelain handles on the drawers have the drug names in Latin. Opposition to Sunday opening of chain stores was expressed by the Grand Orange Lodge of Ontario West, which concluded its sessions in Goderich Saturday afternoon. It also approved a represen- tation to the minister of education "that no child should be given a graduation certificate from any level of education in Ontario unless that child has a firm and fluent knowledge of the English language. It went on record as opposing "the tendency of some ministers and church leaders who appear sympathetic to union with the Church of Rome." Upon motion of the grand secretary, David Worden of Listowel, Sudbury was chosen as next place of meeting - April 25- 26, 1975. Grand lodge adopted a motion by Carl Smith, of Kitchener, past grand master, that all the of- ficers be re-elected for 1974-75. The principal officers are as follows: grand master, Ernest G.

Grand Master Ashick expressed personal thanks to the local committee "especially Lloyd Hern, Exeter and John Henderson Brucefield, and through them to the others who worked." At the annual banquet held in North Street United church hall on Friday evening, the special speaker was Rev. Dennis Clarke, minister of the Pesbyterian church at Atwood. He is a native of Bangor, County Down, and came to Ontario four years ago from Maghera Presbyterian church in County Londonderry. His address to the Orangemen and their ladies contained no mention of Ireland. He deprecated argument by church leaders "when the world is crying out." He said: "We should live Christian unity, and not debate about the little things. Remember that what we have in common is greater than the few details that separate us. A am,
