GLORIOIJS TWELFTH CEY,EBRATED IN COBOURG "It was oh, but is was beautiful and the colours they were finie," these lines of the "Sash My Fath- er 1,,4g.re,"describe the 12ei of July celebration of the Battie of the, Boyne in, Cobourg Satuigday. But where was the emotion, the spirit and the enthusiasmn?, Saturdays demonstration was colourful, but it was only a pro- cession, without any signs of the lively spirit found in the Ulster processions. King Billy was there, but what a strange looking King Billy. Hie didn't even have the long black curly hair, usually associated with illustrious verile Prince of Orange The bands were there too, but with the exception of one fife and drum oufit, (three men), who attempte& a few strains 'of the 'Sash' none of the bau ds played any of the colourful 'Or- ange' tunes,- The baud leading the proces- sion was playing "The Scottish. Soldier." Neyer having missed an Ulster 12th in almost a quarter of a cen- tury, the writer foun~ it difficult to accept that baton 'tirl'hers wd a place in such a deuonstration. A few good points the Cana- dian Orangemen could give the Ulster brethren were the banners on wheels and the smart white dresses worn by the ladies in the procession. The colourful parasols would also be welI received in Ul- ster since the .12th is uWually wet there. More than'60 lodges took part in the procession, includirrV Peter- borough, Bowmanville, Cavan, Darlington Township and others from Northumberland and Dur- ham. Mayor J. A.Heenan of Cobourg andIleeve Lenah Fisher were on the, reviewine stand outside the town hall. The Cobourg Mayor also spoke at Victoria Park. He was joined o% the platform by A. Carruthers, MPP, Russell Honey, MP and representatives of the Or- ange Order. -Evening Guide Local News, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Harness of_- Glet Ewen, Sask., are visiting Mr. and Mrs. Evan Quantrill.

The feature of the evening in - cludedflot only the beef, beans, relishes, donuts and coffee but al- so :a most frieMily atmosphere. The setti ng for the outing would be hard to improve upon and the community spirit added dessertto the evening. Mr. Fred Storsbergen of the New Dutch Oven Restaurant was the master eook of the tempting' toast beef, barbecued at the park on -a special Bar B-Q.
