Home From Atlantic Patrol Able Seaman, Rill Kestle, who for the past six months has been on a corvette on the Atlantic, took the opportunity to visit his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Rufus Kestle, while on a 72- hr, leave at an American port, Remembrance Day was observed in Exetex* on Sunday with an un­ denominational service being held in the Trivitt Memorial large parade assembled at the pillars at the south entrance of the town and marched to the church headed by Group captain Fullerton and the smart pipe band from No. 9, S.F.T.S. Centralia, under Sgt. James Ross and headed by Drum Majorette LAW. M, Hotte, In the procession were several hundred airmen and air­ women with their officers; members of the Exeter-Hensall branch of the Canadian Legion; the local company of the First Hussars under Col, Sanderson, members of the Middle- sex-Hurons; the local Boy Scouts and Cubs with Scoutmaster Harold Whyte; the Boy Scout troop from Grand Bend with Scoutmasters Atkinson and MacLaren; Tuckey and the municipal and members of the cation. At the church brass band made its pearance under the leadership of Sgt. Robt. Moore, who came to the station only two weeks ago from Ottawa. ~ Sgt. Moore was a band­ master in the last war and led his band into Germany with the army of occupation following the armis­ tice, The band played several selec­ tions and1 accompanied the hymns. The service was in charge of the Rector, Rev. M. A. Hunt, minutes Reveille sounded, read by A solo, sung by former The two silence was observed and and The Last Post were The Scripture lesson was Group Captain Fullerton. “In Flanders Fields,” was P/O Bullen, of No. 9, a Metropolitan singer, with Miss K. MacFaul- at the console. The guest speaker was Fit. Lieut. R. Moynan, padre at the airport, who took for his theme a post war world. He said that Remembrance Day was not a day for remembering the glories of war but of remember­ ing the blood, sweat and tears that had been shed by two generations. During the past wWk there had been received at the Airport a letter from a mother in Australia thanking the people of Exeter for the kindness shown her son, whose remains lie buried in the Exeter cemetery. The sacrifice, suffering and agony of the last Great Wai* is being repeated again in this generation. War is only one of the symptoms of the world’s diseases. We are spending more money for hate and destruc­ tion than for love and the cure of. the evils of civilization. One of tne evils to follow the last war was un­ employment which cost so many lives. We dare not repeat the same mistake. The application of the principles of righteousness, nation­ ally, sodially and economically is the only sure foundation for a last­ ing peace. The Church says: “Thou shalt do justly, love mercy and walk humbly with thy God”. Following the service the parade reformed and marched to the Ceno­ taph where wreaths were placed as follows: Province of Ontario by Mrs. N. Hannigan; Exeter by Warden Tuckey; First Hussars by Col. San­ derson; Brown; Group Hensall Legion The national antliem was played by the Exetex* Band under the leader­ ship of Ted Walper. Rev. Mr. Hunt pronounced the benediction.
