CEMETERY NEVER LOOKED MORE BEAUTIFUL The effort of the Cemetery Board to make the Exeter cemetery one of the most beautiful cemeter­ ies to be found in Western Ontario was brought home to the many who visited the cemetery on Sunday in connection with rhe Decoration Day services under the auspices of the I. O. O. F. and the Canadian Legion. Strolling bordered trees or ergreens foresight, .planning and labor re­ quired to bring this burying ground to its present state of beauty. The uniformity of it all is most striking, yet here and there an ungainly bush or shrub planted with the best of in­ tentions by loved ones, detracts from the symetry of the whole. Decora­ tion Day has come to be a commun­ ity affair and in addition to the ser­ vices by the different organizations friends and loved ones take the op­ portunity of adorning the graves with flowers ever keeping the mem­ ory and thought of loved ones gone before. The weather was ideal for the oc­ casion and many visitors from far and near gathered to honour the memory of the dead and incident­ ally had the pleasure of renewing the acquaintance of many old friends. The returned men of the district under the auspices of the Exeter Eranch of the Canadian Legion pa­ raded to the Soldier’s memorial at the town hall headed by the Exeter hand and marshalled by Thomas Pryde. A wreath on behalf of the Legion was placed by Comrade Wm. Davis and another wreath was plac­ ed by Mrs. Kellett. Rev. D. C. Hill, delivered a most impressive address, a synopsis of which is reprinted on another page. The Last Post and Reveille were sounded by Bugler Beer. The band played the Nation­ al Anthem. The members reas­ sembled at the cemetery and placed twelve flags on the graves o.f de­ parted comrades. At the conclus­ ion the Last Post was sounded and a minute silence observed, followed ■by Reveille. ri PROMOTION RESULTS ROOM G year’s Fran- Doris Special Values for Thursday, Friday, Saturday Singapore Sliced Pineapple ' Hillcrest Shortening ...........

G. Bro. C. W. Kestle and Chaplin Bro. Garnet Hicks formed into two divisions and paraded through the cemetery placing a flowering plant on the graves of fifty-five of their departed brethren. 'Following the ceremony a short ser­ vice was held near the mausoleum. Mr. E. A. Howald acted as chairman The service opened with prayer by Rev. D. C. Hill. The band, under the leadersthiitp of Ted Walper, pro­ vided a number of selections. Mr. W. R. Goulding led in singing. A quartette was sung by Messrs. Har­ old and Gerald Skinner, Franx Wild-fong and Rev. A. E. Elliott. An address was delivered by Rev. A. Page. Mr. Page based his remarks on the words “Then shall the end come.” One of the most difficult ■ things is to persuade people that there 'is tin end, said the speaker. Youith seems to think life will go on forever. In the City of Old London one person dies every 8 minutes. Throughout the world 100,000 people die every 24 hours. There are times when we ought to face up to the fact that death is coming into our experience. Down the steps of some home a casket will be carried. In some cemetery a grave will be arranged. The speaker said he spent two years in a weaving town and often visited the weaving­ factory. An inspector would come to the factory and prono.un.ce the work good or bad. It compares with the weaving of character in human life. Will it stand the test of time? Is is shot through with the golden threads of love, charity, hoipe and faith. We are concerned with the things that will stand the test o-f time and eternity. The things that change are the things that aught to change; the things that are shaken are the things that aught to be shaken. Peoples have passed through great earthquakes. We have had the days of feudalism. We have passed through the days of the Re­ formation. There has been the emancipation of slavery. All these have meant the loss of fortune and lives yet they were things that aught to be shaken. From 1914 to 1918 t«he Great War cost the lives of ten million people at a cost of 50 billion dollars. The speaker ventured to say that things that Were were the things that 'aught shaken. Church and Stat® are passing through testing times. Yet there are things that cannot be shaken. In the first place, God lives. There are people who pro­ fess to have lost their faith, but it was a poor faith. In the second place Jesus Christ is the same yes­ terday, today and forevef. The truth of Christianity is absolutely unshak­ able. The world needs a fixed point a starting point. The speaker be­ lieves that there is no solution to our home problems, to provincial, international or church problems til we crown Christ king over (Continued on page 4) shaken to be today 11Tb ail I Promoted to Grade VIII on work in order of merit: Shirley Moise, Betty Elliott, ces King, Marjorie Flynn, Webber, Dorothy Jennings.

Three others were left on bases when the side was re­ tired.The regulars scored 12 runs.
