William of Orange was a product of the Pro- testant Reformation and he received his inspiration frem the Bible--the Word of God--the secret of Britain's greatness. He was chosen the leader of the British people in establishing civil and religious liberty in the Brit- ish Empire forever, and with out civil and religious liberty no country-- not even Britain--could be great Surely the anniversary of the arrival of the Prince of Orange is a date up- on which Roman Catholics might well join hands with their Protestant fel- low citizens in celebrating. The Gunpower Plot, which was die- covered just 83 years . before the Prince of Orange landed at Torbay, is more generally associated in the mind with the Fifth of November. On this date, for some reason, Guy Fawkes, the hireling of the Jesuits, seems to be better known than the Prince of Orange. . The Gunpowder Plot had important bearing upon the development of #-~~ ™-"* institu- tins. It was a Jusuit conspiracy all the way through and its discovery convinced the British people that the Jesuits would resort to any means to accomplish their designs, The thir- teen men who tried to work out the plan to blow up King and Parliament were all bigoted Romansists. Six priests, Fathers Garnet, Greenway, { Baldwin and Gerard, all Jesuits, were the confessors and associates of the ocnspirators. Father Garnet, who 'had been Superior-Gen- eral of the Jesuits in England for twenty years, was found guilty of participation in the plot and also of asking the Spaniards to invade Eng- land, and he was justly executed. Father Oldcorn was also hanged; Father Greenway and Father Gerard escaped, and Father Baldwin was al- |lowed to go free. The Priests de- served their fate probably more than did Guy Fawkes, who was only en- gaged to perform the most dangerous task in the parliamentary basement. It is often said that British free- dom and constitutional rights go back to June 15, 1215, when the Magna Charta, or great charter of our liber- ties, "was granted, guaranteeing "right and justice" to every citizen. But the Magna Charta was of little benefit until the reign of King Wil- liam IIL, the Bill of Rights of 1689, and the Battle of the Boyne in 1690. Without such events as these what reason is there to believe that the British Empire. would today be any' greater than any other empire? Our heritage as citizens is largely a mat- ter of memory. If we forget the past how can we face the future? Re- | membering the past we go forward | with hope and confidence that the 'mistakes of pre-Reformation days will not be repeated. ~The most ef- fective way to. perpetuate. t ory of important events is by cele- marked a turning point in the affairs of Britain and resulted in the estab- lishment of the free constitutions which Britons everywhere prize so + time. ® actual motions by which an athlete can do his best work are thrown on slowed down so that it is quite easy high, broad and other jumps, includ- ing the pole vault, are all illustrated, there is much to learn, could not be given, and that was the on the field and shows them the pro- per way to-perform any athletic feat.

Had the public better understood just what Mr. Knox was doing, it is probable that he wounld have had the same bumper attendance that greeted Miss mae Skilling in her demonstration. This = demonstration was quite as instructive as that of Miss Skilling, and iL was a real matter of surprise to us that so few of the young men and older boys and girls were pres- ent. Information was given in that lecyuire that would have meant much to any person who was really inter- eswed in athletics. In the first place Mr. Knox holds a world's championship in ten track events.

Committees were appointed to deal with the matters under discussion. New officers were elected as fol- lows: President, O. M. Alger, of Oshawa; Vice President, S. Farmer, Port Perry; Secretary, G.

Sometimes one is tempted to think When people take ad- (metaphorically speaking); when they think you are "easy" and load you up with work and other dis- agreeable things which you don't want, without pay, then you begin to think that you ought to be a "sore head." You know certain types of people "you can't put anything over them", and you don't try. And these people very often get their own way. You know better, But whoever made friends with a hedgehog ? The chronic "sore head" is a bit of a hedgehog, and people steer clear of him. Friendship is not the heritage And between our- vices are given freely by the Gov- ernment, so that it is to be hoped that he will come again In the spring when weather conditions are favor- able and carry out this very desirable | part of his program. When he oes come again it is to be hoped that the young people will take advantage 'of this rare oporiunity to secure cor- rect ideas of athletics, It is essential to good sport that proper methods be adopted by the athlete. Every time he does a thing in a wrong manner he is mis-educat- ing himself in that particular, and many of our young people are sufler- re (YY (rn SONYA: The Ladies' Aid Society met at the f Mrs. Jas.

Is there something really wrong with Pro- hibition ?

More than that Frenchman's Bay is not a port of call in any trip to Mexico or Cuba. Fines should not be remitted with- out full explanation of the reason assigned for remitting the fine. A first offence does not occur three times in succelsion. These are some items that have a bearing on the situ- | ation in Canada regarding prohibi- tion. Another fact that should be re- membered is this--Instruction as to the evils of liquor has been on the decline since the advent of prohibi- tion, At first glimpse this might not appear to have any bearing on the case; because children who have not received this instruction are not yet old enough to become voters. But there are many older folk who are exercising the franchise who have not been well informed In this mat- ter. The only information that seems to have been available of late has been a constant stream of news items regarding bootlegging. The papeds are kept well posted in the matter Alberta is like other Western Pro- vinces. It has not been overloaded with religious and moral teaching.

We now _ propose to bring it before the public on the evening of No- vember 12th, at the Armistice meet- ing to be held in the Town Hall. The people have had ample time to consider this matter and we would like you to come to the meeting pre- pared to give your ideas freely. Last May a canvas was made of the town for funds, and $373.71, cash, was raised toward the memorial. The Scugog Chapter, I.O.D.E., have donated $250.00, making a total of $623.71, This money has been in- vested in"@overnment Bonds, bring- ing in 5.4% interest, and by the time we are ready to use the money, these A list of names of the boys who served and fell in the Great War has been prepared and are printed here.
