N Publisher G. Doran Basses On -----=_Former head of Doubleday, Doran one of the greatest of publishing], houses, George R. Doran, 86, died on Saturday, Jan. 7, at the Royal York whexe he has been a perminent resi- _dent for several years. Born in Toronto, most of his adult life was spent in New York and Lon- don, Eng., but in retirement, he re. turned to his native city. Most of the literary giants of this century were among his friends and he put into print the . writings of presidents and prime ministers as well as novelists, The imprint of his firm, George H. Doran Co. Ltd., appeared in works of Arnold Bennett, Somerset Manghan, H Walpole, Aldous Huxley, H. G. Wells and many others. : 7 - He was the first publisher in the U.S. to recognize the ability of Rev. Charles W. Gordon, Canadian church- - man who wrote under the nome of Ralph Connor.

Fifty years later he published his memoirs, Chronicles of Barabbas-1884-1934, At the age of 21 he left Toronto for a Chicago firm and became a us. citizen five years later, : Port Perry Bantams Win wi a fast game played last Tuesday in the Port Perry Arena, the yy Perry Bantams defeated Stouff- i % Bantam 6 to 8.

W. J, Dunlop, F.C.L, LL.D., Minister of Edu- Jedtion for Ontario, and Mrs. Dunlop; Dr, M, B. Dymond, M.P.P,, and Mrs, Dymond; Mr. Grant MacDonald, Prin- cipal of the High School and Mrs. Mac- Donald; Mr. R. A. Cornish, Principal of the Public School, and Mrs, Cornish. Mr, H. D. Santer, Rector's Warden, proved'a 'capable and witty chairman, Others at the head table were Mrs, H. D> Santer, Rev, K. W. Scott, Rector, and Mrs, Scott. Mr. Art Brunton con- véned the catering which was done very successfully by the men thém- selves, . The guest speaker, Hon, W. J. Dun- lop, was introduced by Dr. Dymond, who outlined his career as pupil and teacher in-Ontario schools until be- coming Minister of Education in 1951. Dr. Dunlop gave a thought provok. ing address, There had been a ten. dency in recent years, he said, for parents to leave too much to the schools; and to suggest additional cur- riculum which were not in 'the best interests of the students. Dr. Dunlop is not'in favour of allowing safe-driv- ing, swimming, and other "frills" to be taught during regular school hours as it is feared that they tend to impede progress in more important subjects, He said that it had been necessary for him to take a firm stand in this matter in order "to keep sanity in education." . The address was punctured by num- 'erous anecdotes, many of them drawn from the speaker's own experiences as a teacher, In Dr, Dunlop's view, the pur pose of education is to turn out citizens who are intelligent, industrious, religious, and loyal to their country. Hard work and competition should be included in education as a necessary preparation for adult life.

' Small Towns Aided By Canada's Million Fraternal Lodge Members Ave the 1,000,000 Canadian men who belong to Canada's fabulous fra- ternal lodges merely grown men who act like foolish kids? "No", says Fred Edge in the current January issue of Liberty magazine. Though'. the 'intra-mural rituals of these "secret" socicties are clouded from the public eye, these groups are actually big business enterprises, val- uable boons to small town culture. The cight most powerful societies ave: ' . Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of Canada; Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine for North America; Maccabees; Indepen- dent Order of Foresters; Knights of Columbus; Loyal Order of Moose; In- dependent Order of Odd Fellows; and Loyal Orange Association, They con- trol billions of dollars in real estate and other holdings, Probably the best known of these, Masons have 260,000 members in 1500 | Canadian lodges, according to Ijberty. Masonry began with the stone masons, who shaped stones -for buildings in early England. Masons join as apprentices, become Fellows of the Craft (2nd degree), then Master Masons (3rd degree) --the' Seortish Rite, and Royal Arch Mason, Liberty says the Loyal Orange Ass sociation has established homes for Orphans-in Nova Scotia, Quebec, and British Columbia; supports one in. Al- berta; co-sponsors another (with the Loyal True Blue group) in Ontario. "Some years. ago," Liberty was told by Toronto's Norman G. Heyd, only Capadianever-a_ Supreme. Governor, Supreme Lodge of the World, Loyal Order of Moose, "many groups, such as our own, found you can't build membership on ritual and sociability alone. Those who tried went down, or right out of existence. We found groups like Moose, must appeal to the heart, or go into straight life insur- ance.." In Timmins, Ont., the Moose Lodge supervises Friday night teen-age dances. In:Chatham, Ont., the lodge built and equipped 'Moose Playground' --then gave it to the city. Lodges throughout Canada sponsor pee-wee hockey and softball. ' "Independent Order of Foresters is one of the most colorful insurance so- cities," Liberty says. "It has over 66,000 members in Canada. The man who made the Independent Order of Foresters was Oronhyateklia, a full- blooded Mohawk Indian, from the Six Nations Reserve, near Brantford, Ont. He was the Phineas T. Barnum of the fraternal insurance movement. "In 1881, the society had only 369 members in Canada, and was $4,000 in debt. Then they called in Oronhyatekha from his medical practice in London, Ont.,, to be Supreme Chief Ranger. With his copper-red skin, 6' 2" and 260 pouunds cloaked in a frock coat, he swung along the street, twirling a 50id-hegded cane, | "He built an ILO.F. building, in the days before steel beams, 11 stories high. When it was finished he an- nounced the building was fire-proof, then- mounted highpressure hydrants on the roof to help firemen fight fires in adjacent, less fireproof buildings. "He organized a fantastic troop of cock-hatted Royal Foresters, as his personal guard of honour. To-day, a in the new, $2,600,000 1.0.F. Toronto headquarters." Liberty says, 'The Loyal Orange As- tongue and one religious freedom'--a 20th century. version of their fore- bears prayers in 1690 for "good King William who saved us from Popery, slavery, knavery, brass money and wooden shoes , , ! "But the Glorious Twelfth, itsélf, has ceased to be. a call-to-arms and a time for pitched battles between Catholics and Orangemen. Even 'King Billy' manages a grin when a youngster. along the parade route 'spots his white charger and yells: "'Here comes Hopalong!'" 3 4 sociation stands for "one throne, one' Members can go on to further degrees life-like statue of Oronhyatekha stands | New Fire Er wh. |For Usbridge The Uxbridge Fire Brigade lave! added a new truck to their equipment. This truck is a tank truck made by G.M.C. whick will hold 1000 gallons of water.

Something New With sales of one kind or another taking such an important place in our business world many people will be keenly interested in the CKLB RE- TAIL SALES CLINIC. This is some- thing quite new to our area; Radio Station CKLB are sponsor- ing Fred A. Palmer, Sales Consultant of Worthington, Ohio, who will lecture and demonstrate on the subject of in- creasing sales and earning power. . The course will take place at' the Central Collegiate Institute, in Osha- wa on January 16 and 17th. If you are interested in attending see the ad for further particulars.

Farmers Union Meeting Local 126 of the Ontario Farmers' Union held a special meeting on Frl- day afternoon in Township hall in Manchester with a very enthusiastic crowd of farmers in attendance. The president Mr. ©. E. Croxall opened the meeting and acted as chalyr- man. After a brief report he intro- duced the guest apeaker, Mr. Walter Miller of Tara, Ont., 1st Vice-pres. oft the Ont. Farmers® Biton who spoke to some length on the difficulties en- 'countered in establishing a Union here in Ont. and of the achievements that the Farmers Unon have made for Can- adian Farmers. WALTER L. MILLER Rg The speaker said that we now! have a grass roots organization established from British Columbia to Ont, with an overall membership of approximately 200,000 dues paying farmers. Besides bringing many things to farmers attention and doing a fine educational job among farmers the union have been continuously present- ing briefs and attempting to bring to the governments attention the needs of farmers, Mi. Miller, mentioned that these presentations included briefs to both provincial and Federal Governments as well to the tariff hoard, the Board of Grain Commissioners, the Ont. hog producers, the agricultural committee of the Ont. Legislature and of the House of Commons as well as attend- ing many important meetings such as the Dom. Prov. Agr. Conference at Ottawa. While we haven't accomp- lished all we would like the Vice-pres. continued, we have won the support of some of these people. He went on to say that in the 1956 session of the House of Commons 8 political Parties supported a motion to give the farmers parity prices, In conclusion Mr, Miller urged all far- mers to write their M,P.'s and M.L.A urging them to work for Parity Prices for farmers. ) Following the speaker's address, a lengthy: discussion followed, during which many questions: were answered, after which the pres. moved a vote of thanks to the speaker, the _name_ of the TOrsienes Rally In Period . To Gain Victory a > Last Monday Jan. 9th, 19566 Lindsay met the Orono Orphans in Port Perry Memgrial Arena and in the opening period it looked as if Lindsay were going to give the Orphans a:trounc- ing for they netted four goals to one. But in the second period after 4.67 of play the Orphans had the 4 goals back and were one up. And before the period ended they scored another pair while Lindsay just managed to pot one at the 18.67 mark before the period ended. Orono 7 Lindsay b. The last period both teams chalked up 2 goals making the final score 9 to 7 for Orono. The game as a whole was very fast pnd quite rugged, but even at that their were only 11 penal- ties, 7 going to Lindsay and 4 to the Orphans, The goal getters were R. West, D. West and Mortimer each with a pair, while Edwards, Robinson and Walch each scored once with assists going to Jr. West, Till and Armstrong. While for Lindsay McGill got a pair with singles going to Hennesy, Doris, Craw- ford, Freeman and Graham. Now that the year end rush has settled down you will just have to make the next Orphan game a must, because if you are a follower of good fast hockey you will find none better than right here in Port Memorial Arena next .Jan. 20th when Cobourg will be the visitors. Appreciation Day Mrs. Reg. Moorhead, Port Perry, was a ten percent winner of the draw made on Saturday, Jan. Tth, The amount was $36.89.

The Farmers Union By O. E. Croxall, pres. of Local 126 To-day farming has become a de. pressing profession. - economists tell us, that to produce food successfully today we must either enlarge our farms or produce twice as much from the same acres. This 'BYS- tem is no doubt true-in some respects, but will only create more surpliiges in time, unless we find markets for our products. The farm union is demanding par- ity prices of food consumed in Cana- da. This should not be tao much to ask, when other industry of 1966 is predicted to be booming.. If we have such a large surplus of food at present, why is Canada import. ing, beef, pork, cheese and othér food products at lower prices than the Can- tion Tenders to convert the furnace in: Four-year-old adian farmer can produce them. . It has always been said that the law of supply und demand governs prices, but "how can this stand when we are Im- porting these foods below parity. This is why we need: a strong farm organi- zation, The farm unioh expresses and de- bates the needs and problems of every Canadian farmer, and has achieved fourteen problems up. to date. The farmers' union will not get involved in monopolized distr, or grain pools. Some farmers do not like the word union, but the way our Country has developed these past few years, nearly every one has to be organized in some way, or they will lose their standard of living, they have no way of debat- ing their problems alone. 'Phe word union 'is recognized and respected by the majority of our consumers, these ure the people we farmers depend on for their good will and understanding, for us to recelve parity prices, so as to be able to buy the much needed goods they manufacture. The union is financed by a yearly membership of $6.00 and $1.00 for wife and family over 16 yra. of age, we now have a paid membership of 200,000 from Ontario to British Columbia. It is urgent for' every farmer to Join the union, TCA's 10,000,000th Michael Roder of operations 18 years ayo.
