White,, who with his father and elder brother established the Exeter Times in 1873 and who afterwards removed to Windsor ana published the Windsor Review. Mrs. White was a frequent visitor to Exeter and was known by many here who will re­ member her. To eulogize, her many good qualities is unnecessary. (She is mourned by a large circle of friends in Windsor where she has resided for the past fifty years. She leaves two sons J. Clyde, of Cleveland, O. ■and T. Cooper White, of Windsor and four grandchildren. The remains were interred in the family burying] ground in the Exeter cemetery on Sunday last. A large circle of rela­ tives and friends from this commun­ ity attended the funeral. The Rev A. E. Elliott conducted the services at the grove. Rev. J. Bernard closed his ministry Caven Presbyterian day and on Monday he and Mrs. Rhodes left for Cobourg where he was inducted into the pastorate or St. Andrew’s church on Tuesday. There was a large attendace at the morning service and very appro- priateyq the floral decorations con- priately the floral decorations con­ sisted in a blending of the Presby­ terian colors of purple and gold. Mr. Rhodes during his ministry here has been in the habit of speaking first to the children and his simple but delightful sermonettes have been much appreciated. On Sunday he tdok for his children’s address the theme suggested by the proverb “Nearly is not even halfway.” The text of his sermon to the adults was from Is. 46-4 “I have made and I will bear.’ In the evening his ser­ mon text was from Matt. 27-22. “What shall I do then with Jesus who is called Christ.” Both sermons were masterpieces in instruction, in­ spiration and appeal. Mr. Rhodes expressed his farewell to Caven people in words of appreciation for the co-operation and kindness which had been accorded him and Mrs. Rhodes. At the evening service the student minister of Knox Church In Bayfield and several carToads of the congregation attended owing to the fact that 'Mr. Rhodes was their first student supply in 1926. At the same service Mr. Jack Cochrane, of Kitchener, who had assisted the choir during the day contributed a well- rendered solo. JOINT CONCERT DRAWS LARGE HOUSE the Mr. Thos.

We thank God fox* the men and women who have lived and laboured and suffer­ ed and died. Soon your children will come to honor your memory as you honor your loved ones. It is ours to make the best of life, to get the most out of it, but the honor and the glory belongs to a greater than, ourselves, When we lay down our * tools of labor we will take them up again in renewed strength in a heavenly home where there will be no more war, no sin, no strife and no distress of nations but peace shall reign. The Main Street quartette Messrs. F. Wildfong, Jas. Francis, M. Howey and G. Floral Tributes Placed taph Decoration Day, which recognized as one of the ing days of the year in Exeter, was held on Sunday afternoon last and people came from all directions and long distances to pay their tribute of respect to the memory of loved ones or friends now sleeping m peace beneath the sod at the beautifully kept cemetery in which the citizens of Exeter take such a pride. Members of the Exeter Branch of the Canadian Legion under the com­ mand of Thomas pryde and headed by the Dashwood band paraded to the cenotaph where a short memorial service was held. The cenotaph was beautifully decorated with two white crosses, flowers and flags. Bugler Beer, of Hensail, sounded “The Last Post” and “Reveille.” The opening prayer was delivered by Rev. J. B. Rhodes and a very fitting address was delivered by Rev. J. H. Stainton. Mr. ’Stainton took for his subject “The Erection of the Monument of Peace.” He stated that human hearts were filled with a great de­ sire to reap the rewards of peace. The greatest monument that could be erected was a monument to the fact that those who had paid the su­ preme sacrifice in the late war had not lived and died in vain. War has become for our generation a stern and terrible reality. Millions of men had died on the battlefield to say nothing of the widows, the orphans and the returned soldiers who suffer during this very hour. The billions of dollars that had been spent dur­ ing the a ten every '5 provide education; 215 billions for hospitals and medical care and leave fifty bil­ lions for the evangelization of the world, sufficient to build a church and put a missionary in every town and village in the world. All this money has been wasted and what have we?—nothing—-and these men lay dead and many comrades are suffering because of war. ■Should another great war there smite other with smite the world with running sores; another that would set fires to large areas and there are electric rays In Paris, France, that should they be concentrated on London, England, would destroy the city. There will be no firing line or front line trenches in the next war but the lives of women and children will be in danger. The league of nations has already prevented nine wars and the nations must pledge faith by begin­ ning to disarm. The process will not be complete until the individuals disarm and seek peace. There Is still one great fight; one final vic­ tory of love over hate; of right over might. Rev. A. E. Elliott dosed the ser­ vice. The band played several se­ lections. A tribute was paid to the Women’s Institute for decorating the cenotaph. The Legion reassem­ bled at the cemetery and decorated the graves of their comrades. Oddfellows’ Service Following the service of the Le­ gion the members of the Exeter Lodge of Oddfellows together with many visiting brethren marched through the cemetery headed by Noble Grand Bro. E. R. Hopper and Marshall E. Howald and deposited a flowering plant on the graves of 49 departed brethren. At the conclu­ sion of the parade a short service was held from a raised platform. W. R. Goulding led the ‘'’gathering in singing “Rock of Ages” accompan­ ied by the Dashwood band. Rev. M. xs now outstand" Skinner sang a selection. A Life of Sacrifices A. E. Elliott spoke on Legion.

He was reminded of the word sacrifice. No other word adequately conveys what is meant by a soldier’s life. Not only in paying the supreme sacrifice but in their every day denials, in the things they had to endure and suf­ fer. Many of the experiences seem like dreams today. None at home could understand what these days meant. He remembered when men were quartered in a stable and all were sick with influenza when the word came to move forward. They marched part way, then took the train, then marched some more. Strong men staggered and dropped out because they were sick. How brutal it appeared again and again. Men chilled were unable to keep warm. He told of a chap with a rough personality although suffer­ ing took his own coat and gave it to another that one at least might be warm. Again and again you saw the spirit of self sacrifice beautifully ex­ emplified and it brought tears to your eyes and a lump in your throat. Another hymn was sung and Rev. Mr. Rhodes closed the service with prayer! Traffic Officer Norman Lever was assisted by constables, J. Norry, of Exeter and S'teinhagen, of Dashwood in directing fhe hundreds of cars that lined the road. The cemetery presented a very picturesque appearance, most of the graves being decorated with flowers. Many complimentary remarks were made. Mr. J. Ford, the caretaker deserves considerable praise for the manner in which the cemetery is kept. Just before the parade a group photograph of the Oddfellows was taken by Mr. Jos. Senior.
