Mr. Tarzwell of Hillsburg has purchased the hall belonging to the Orangemen, to replace his mill which was burned last winter. His nephew. Bill Batch- elor, had the contract of dismantling and transporting the same. Some- thing over forty years ago this build- ing was erected on land donated by the late Mr. John Gott, grandfather of the present owner of the farm. JoHn Gott. This was to replace a long building, which was situated on the old Brown property, now owned by Mr. Art Jackson. Here the Lodge meetings and Sunday School had been held. The new building was erected mostly by gratis work, as at that time nearly everyone was an Orange- man. One thing to note is that the late Mr. J. D. Morgan of Dundalk. a member of the Catholic persuasion, gave $5.00 towards the building. At first it was called Gott's Lodge, but of late years has been called Inistioge Lodge. About two years ago they disbanded and joined Proton L.O.L. No. 244. J. S.

The First Prize Essay Following is the first prize essay in the Flesherton High School, writ- ten by Miss Jean Proctor: The British Empire is "a commun- ity of free nations" a community in which individuality of the parts as well as oneness of the whole is re- cognized an empire in which the State exists for the individual. In Germany and in Nazi -dominated Europe, the individual is nothing, un- less he h a s something of value to con- tribute to the State he is merely a machine guided by the ruthless hands of Adolph Hitler. Upon the shoulders of the people of our empire. bound together by the principles, themes, and concep- tions which make their appeal to the conscience and genius of humanity, and "dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal'', rests the task of preserving for future gen- erations, liberty, individual freedom, and the common things which are. when challenged, the most sacred of all.

With "mens sana in corpore sano'' Fine Conceit By 1 or onto Church Choir "Wasn't it a marvellous concert!" "That was the best program that I have ever heard in Flesherton!'* "Didn't the cellist and elocutionist fit beautifully into the whole program!'* Such were the comments from those who were privileged to attend the concert m St. John's Church last Thursday evening, given by High Park United church choir of Toronto and accompanying artists. Supper had been served previously to a larg number by the ladies of the church. The program opened with the choir singing two sacred numbers Te Deum" and Beautiful Savior." They won their audit ce with this group and the interest was sustained throughout. Mr. Vernon Trott, first cellist of Toronto Conservatory Sym- phony, followed with a beautiful ren- dition of '"The Swan" and "Scenes from a Masked Ball." The audience continued to applaud him until they were assured Mr. Trott would play again later in the program. Miss Mary Smith, contralto soloist, known to Flesherton people from her visit here two years ago. sang "Where'er Yon Walk." Mrs. Ola McNaughton,. the elocutionist, then made her first appearance and delighted the children in particular with "The Bumble Bee."" Her second selection was "Wild" Horses.'' a lesson in how to control the male sjjecies. The whole choir- then .sang two more numbers "Deep River" and "Brightly Gleams fur Wedding Day" from Gilbert and Sul- livan's Mikado. To many the next number was the most pleasing of the program by a mixed quartette "Thv Way. Not Mine". Lord." And once again the cellist delighted the auJ r ience with his accomplished playing of "Scottish Lament" and "Song of Love." from Blossom Time, ?o well known to many. This was followed by the choir singing two patriotic numbers which thrilled the audience. Rule Britannia" and "Canada D,r Land O' Mine." Mrs. McN'aughton followed with her second eroop con- sisting of A. A. Milne's "Christopher Rdbirtf* "Mr Italian Friend." and completed this grotrp with "In Fland- ers Fields," explaining that a friend had requested her to urge people te> pray for peace and to recite this poem from the last war as often as *he had the proper opportunity. Miss Anna Hunter, the soprano soloist for the evening, sang with beautiful ex- pression. "Annie Laurie.*' and Mr. C. S. Patterson followed with "There'll Always be an England." the audience joining in the second chorus. The finale on this exquisite pro- gram came with the choir singing, "Night fall in the Skye," and last of all "Turn Back, O Man. Forswear Thy Foolish Ways." a hymn which might have been written for our day which ends with an expression of truth about the principles which will make for peace. The conclusion came with the National Anthem, but this time it was n>t just sung. All the harmony latent in prayer for the Kins: resounded forth, as tl.% choir led the audience in all three verses. All seemed reluctant that the end had come. Every person there had been delivered from themselves and lifted above their surroundings. This program will live in their memories and in their lives for many a day. pastor of Scarboro Baptist church, ****** :!" "' T - aim of our educational system. duties the first Sunday in July. He will preach his farewell sermon on Sunday, June 29. Donald resided in Flesherton as a boy and his many friends here and in the Osprey district are pleased to have him advance in his chosen work. He made many warm friends while in Osprey and the work of th^ church was energetically conducted by him and his preaching was forceful and eloquent. Card of Thanks Mrs. J. A. Lever and family wish to express their appreciation of the many acts of kindness of neighbors and other friemfci durmg the illness of their husband and father and for the kind words of sympathy and acts of kindness extended to them in their recent bereavement. we leave school well equipped to face the future without the awful shadow of the swastika hovering overhead to darken our way. Lastly, our system of self-govern- ment, which we ourselves have chosen, is threatened. Our government, which gives every Canadian citizen an equal right to vote, must never. xcept by the will of the people, be overthrown to be re- placed by a dictatorship the fetish worship of one man which means ra- cial persecution, religious intolerance, deprivation of free speech and the conception of the citizen as "a mere soulless fraction of the State." We of today are living in an era when great nations have crumbled under the iron heel of the nazi leader.
