On the evening of June 28th, th,e home of Air. and Mrs. Alex. Watson was the scene of a sdeial gathering held in honor of Miss Archer, the popular and- successful teacher in this sécti on, Mr. II. N. Scott, as chairman, call- ed on Archie Watson, a former pupil, to read the following address : *' Dear Miss Archer : We, your friends in Clarke Union- school section, have gathered- here this evening to bid you goodbye and also to; offer our heartfelt, congratulations on vour being chosen for a. higher re- sponsibility. Looking back on the terms you have served as teacher we cannot but. regret very much your leaving' us. The children also will: mise your guidance, both intellectual- ly arid morally. Your present pupils are examples of your untiring efforts in these directions. Some of our young people whom you have taught, Over Forty Lodges Expected In Walk-Town Will Be Gaily Decorated Orono and 'community after an ab- sence of between thirty or forty years is to ha-ve the celebration of the Bat- tle of the Boyne on the 248th anni- versary and hopes are high for fair weather and a huge crowd, and a good time long to be remembered. We were looking -at some snap shots the other d-ay a-t Bro. Ed. Morton’s taken- of an Orange w-alk years ago in Orono. The first one showed one of Air. Morton’s famous white horses leading the parade with bands and brethren coming along in order. It seemed sort of queer to see the large trees standing in front of the drug store, the signs on the street different from today, no hydro poles, no electric lights, only the old coal oil lamps hung in the streets, board sidewalks a-nd the dirt road, with horses and buggies here and there on the streets, in fact, they came to this parade in democrats and wagons. Yet strange to relate -they were more contented, more happy and more prosperous than we are today with all our modern, ways and means. In those days Clarke District, boast- ed of ten lodges when today we have four, including Newcastle, and the membership was probably six where we have one today. This is a serious condition because Orsngeism stands for democracy, for liberty, for free speech, a better Province, a -better Canada, and a United Umpire, loyal to the old flag though it be but an old piece of hunting,' just an old: colored rag, yet thousands died for its glory and shed their last blood for the flag. There are forces, and- quite strong ones too that seek to wreck those traditions which have stood the test of centuries. We have seen crowns- and thrones fall for Facistm, Nazism, Communism, dictators and whatnots, yet through it all'the constitutional governments of the great British Em- pire have stood the test and our be- loved Monarch is more endeared to his subjects today than ever before. If we are to preserve this Canada of ours for posterity, the game a-s our forefathers left it as out heritage, it becomes the duty of every citizen to- knock these wreckers of all that is near and: dear to us, to meet them on the si deroads and byways and ad- minister such force as will eradicate once and forever those forces that would deny us the right to govern ourselves. â€"â€"nr-*â€"«â€"oâ€"â€"-â€"â€"â€" ; ; Stolen from Co-bourg on Dominion Day, a new car owned by Ggorge Moon was recovered on Saturday at Flizaibe'thville. mirror, in some way your strength of character and fineness of thought. You have always been active in social work and we are very grateful to you for the effort you have spent in the Home and School Association and numerous other affairs, that, had you. been interested, might never have been. We find it very difficult to ex- press to you Our -appreciation and ask you to alocept this gift, as a. remem- brance of a very pleasant relationship. Immediately following this address Miss Bernice Colville presented Miss Archer with a lovely ring, -a farewell gift from her friends. Jack Colville, on behalf of the school children, pre- sented her with a. picture. Miss .Ar- cher replied in a fitting and graceful manner. -Several friends then spoke in praise of her efforts- during her sta.v in the section.
