<b>Address by Miss Grace Roe</b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
At close of Lodge meeting held on Wednesday the 2<sup>nd</sup>
April 1919, Bro Dr Marcus Clements introduced Miss Grace Roe, a member of the
Women’s Political Party and one whom had done yeoman work for her party, and
was now doing equally good work for our Coalition and Unionist Government.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
Miss Roe who was warmly welcomed spoke on what women had
done during the war, their efforts in S Wales and other industrial cities in
preventing strikes, and helping out army in Flanders, the principal plank of
the woman’s party platform, was the “Union between England and the rest of the British
Empire, watching the Vatican, and a knowledge of the Irish Question, on
International Finance, and the Finances of the Socialist Party, were all
captured by the Vatican and Germany. Irish Roman Catholics were being urged to
join a Centre Labour Party.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
The Women’s Party beside doing a good work during the war in
munitions and other activities, had owing to the franchise being extended to
them, voted Bolshevik Labour at the General Election.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
The utter futility of shop stewards, Bolshevik committees
and the attempts of Sein Fein to form with Labour were fully exposed, and the
pamphlet issued by the Irish Transport Union Each for all and all for each was
an example of the methods employed generally.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
Miss Roe displayed an intimate knowledge of the many social questions
of the day, and at the close of her address, was thanked very warmly by the WM
for her entertaining and instructive address.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
Bro Davison DM, proposed that the best thanks of the meeting
be accorded to Miss Roe which was seconded by Bro R Tougher and passed by acclamation.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
Miss Roe suitable replied, and thanked the Lodge for the
opportunity given her to address a meeting of Orangemen.<o:p></o:p></div>

Royal York L.O.L. 145 is holding a centennial service of
remembrance today to a late Member, Second Lieutenant
James Alexander Donnelly, and our other fallen brethren of World War 1. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Bro Donnelly is considered to be the last man to die a
member of the Royal Flying Corps on the 31 March 1918, as on 1 April it became
the Royal Air Force. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A new Roll of Honour to all the Brethren who served and fell
from LOL 145 will be dedicated at the service.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Wor. Bro. Colin Cavan, Worshipful Master of Royal York LOL
145 said:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 21.3pt;">
“It is a privilege to honour
these men and remember their sacrifice to King and Country. We are also
particularly pleased to be joined at the service by much of the extended Donnelly
family to remember their particular sacrifice, in the loss of a Father, Brother
and staunch & true Ulsterman, James Donnelly.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 21.3pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Wor. Bro. Lord Rogan of Lower Iveagh, Past Master of LOL 145
added:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 21.3pt;">
“James Alexander Donnelly and his
siblings John, Frank and Jane are that incredible story that comes to its own
in Ulster. From what we would call today a ‘mixed’ family (their father being
born a Roman Catholic), they went on to be pillars of the community in Orange,
Business, Church and the Army circles. In James’ case, to excel in the new
sciences of Telegraphy and Aviation. The fact we are remembering him today, is
a testament to the great loss his passing was, not only to the Orange
Institution, but to the Nation at large.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The service will be held in Ballintoy Parish Church.
Ballintoy was the church of the Donnelly family, and as Bro Donnelly was the
most senior Lodge officer (as Lay Chaplain) to perish in the Great War, it was
decided that the memorial service should be held there. His name, and those of
his Brothers, the Rev John and Major Frank <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a>Donnelly, are
inscribed on the Church War Memorial tablet.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The service will begin at 2PM and will be conducted by the local
minister, the Rev. Patrick Barton BA BTh, with the sermon and dedication
carried out by the Lodge Chaplain, Bro. the Rev. Iain Jamieson.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
All are welcome
to the service.</div>

<i>The following is a statement on behalf of the Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland ahead of the upcoming General Election:</i><br />
<br />
The Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland recognises the critical importance and huge significance of the forthcoming General Election.<br />
<br />
As the United Kingdom commences the process of exiting the European Union it is essential a purposeful and stable Government is elected to act on behalf of, and deliver the best possible deal, for its citizens.<br />
<br />
Equally, it is of the utmost importance that Northern Ireland continues to have a strong voice at Westminster. The June 8 poll will once again provide the opportunity for the people to vote for, and underline their support, for the Union.<br />
<br />
As an Institution with a broad range of political opinion across our membership, Grand Lodge welcomes any closer collaboration between the pro-Union political parties.<br />
<br />
We believe it is in Northern Ireland’s vital interests for as many Unionist MPs as possible be returned to our mother Parliament.<br />
<br />
In order to maximise the pro-Union vote in this election it is incumbent on our Unionist leaders and representatives to cooperate and coalesce, parking party interests and acting in the best interests of the Union.<br />
<br />
Such strategic thinking and cooperation is all the more crucial at a time when republicanism is buoyant following its recent electoral success.<br />
<br />
Republicans simply do not care if Northern Ireland succeeds as an integral part of the United Kingdom. The opportunity to answer their united Ireland agenda and insatiable demands will occur on 8 June. The onus more than ever is on Unionism to come together, selling its collective ideals to the widest possible audience.<br />
<br />
For our part, the Orange Institution will continue to seek to be a catalyst, where possible, to bring unionists together on common causes or certain issues. As a major stakeholder in this Province we will always seek to do what is necessary and in the best interests of Unionism.<br />
<br />
We would once again encourage all our members, family and friends to exercise their democratic franchise, fought for so valiantly on our behalf. In mobilising the pro-Union vote, we will also be appealing for those not already registered to vote to ensure they do so, and those requiring a postal or proxy vote apply at the earliest opportunity.<br />
<br />

It is with sadness that we record the death of Cyril Crooks, Past Master and Member of Royal York L.O.L. 145 and the Loyal Orange Institution of Ireland. Son of Jimmy Crooks (also a past member), he was a pleasant, amicable and friendly man, a testament to his conduct as a Sales Manager in career and a football referee for the Irish Football Association. His conduct in, and commitment to , our institution was never for personal gain but for the benefit of others, and was consistent with his actions in the wider community in which he lived and worked. We will mourn his passing, but nowhere will that loss be more greatly felt than with his immediate family and family circle and to them we extend our heart felt sympathy.</div>
