EDITORIAL CO.MMENT ORANGE VALLEY Premier Hepburn proposes to intro- duce at the next session of the Legis- lature a bill to limit the expenditures of school boards and give authority to civic councils to veto expenditures of certain boards where they exceed a certain propoi-tion of the tax rate. • « • • Jim Curran of the Soo Star has all along contended that wolves will not attack human beings. Despite his val- iant championship of the harmless character of his pets, many remain sceptical. On the other hand, the view has long obtained that the brown bears of Ontario are not vicious and will run from, rather than after, man. To dispel this cherished illusion, three farmers in the Bancroft-Maynooth area deokre that last week they had to run for their lives when they were chased for nearly half a mile by a full grown bear. The bear had a couple of cubs by it side when dis- turbed, but it is not said whether or not they engaged in the chase. • » * • Seventy-five years ago last week the Fathers of Confederation sat in the parliament buildings in Prince Edward Island and drew up the fiirst draft for the confederation of the maritime provinces and Upper and Lower Can- ada. Three years later the Dominion of Canada became an actual fact. Last week five Federal Cabinet Ministers quietly walked into the historic room and sat down on the same chairs and at the same table as used on that historic occasion. Since that time Canada has made great strides to world fame and has become a great country in the membership of nations in the British Empire. The next de- ^:ade or so will see still greater ad- vances in this country's prosperity than has taken place in the past. At the present time the chance of war is remote with European countries ap- parently coming to their senses and an advance in the price of world pro- duce and trade should be of distinct value to this country, and Canada is ready to take advantage of any change vrhich might occur. • * ♦ * Great changes have been made in the' placement of the Ontario Pro- vincial Police by Attorney-General Conant, following an announcement of changes in the system. The Attorney- General claims that the Police should be changed from district to district every five years, in order that the constables will not have too many friends. Giood constables need friends all through their judisdiction and without friends to supply information when needed, the constable will be handicapped. The position of a police- man is a very difficult one, as he has to reside in a certain town or vUlage and dispense justice with mercy and, if possible, prevent crimes as well as solve those that have been committed. He has to have the respect of the community and have friends to assist him in his work, although maybe not working openly. A police constable who knows his district has a greater chance of enforcing the law than one who has not had experience in that district. However, the changes are taking place this coming week and it is hoped that the enforcement of the law will not be affected to too grreat an extent. Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Alcox and son, Leslie, accompanied bv Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Hill and family, spent .Sunday at Wasaga each.

Personally, I am at a loss to learn the real significance of this celebra- tion. I witnessed the Orange parade at the Singhainpton celebration and I was impressed by the manner of tho.se walking, both young and old. They seemed to be ready, no matter what the sacrifice, to die for their cause, if need be. The open Bible was conspicuous; for that, I thanked God, because too much cheap, degrading literature is being read today. The masses of our people are feeding their minds on moral filth. One look at the news- paper stands reveals what takes up the mind of the majority of our people. Following the parade, the various lodges, and those celebrating, as- sembled in a beautiful grove, shaded by trees. There, several ministers, including myself, were to speak. An abundance of benches were provided and no one could complain about the heat, or inadequate seating accommo- dation. Apparently the speeches were a little too long for many, in spite of vital truths that were being pro- claimed, and it should have been the duty of everyone to have stayed :in ' listened. I was amazed to see. •' ' - very short time, a great major'ty ifj the Orangemen who were conspicu- 1 ous during the parade, now conspicu- ous by their absence. i I remarked from the platfoi'ii ' that, possibly, the Orangemen, to- gether with the boys and girls, follo"-- ' ed the trick horse that entertained the audience after the first speaker had finished. At any rate, very few remained for the addresses. Most of the Orangemen, I was told, were watching the ball games that were in progress. I have watched the 12th of July celebrations in Scotland, Prince Ed- ward Ishind, Saskatchewan and On- tario. To me it seems hyprocricy. Many Orangemen stick out their chest during the parade, when bands, banners, streamers and mottos are predominant. It seems another op- portunity to drink, or to have a little pleasure at a ball game. To many Orangemen the Church of .lesus Christ is only a convenience â€" a convenience to be used for a wedding, a funeral ser\'ice or an Orange Service previous to the 12th of July. The open Bible to many is a closed book in the home and we are not concerned about propagating the precepts of the Protestant religion, i.e., charity and goodness to all men. Let us clean up our own degraded homes, lodges and churches, before we dare criticise any other organization, whether political or religious. There are foes in our very midst that are damning our country and hurling our citizens to a Christless grave. Immorality is on the increase. Drink is killing its thousands. Law- lessness abounds everywhere. Apost- acy is on t â-  " . """ > ':'.v' f ^'â- cot- ten God, despised /the Lord Jesus CI-.;!:,: ;•..;.'. I-Ij c.T.:- c. .:=.l,-atiDn.
