Tribute to all leaders of the
Exeter Legion since its formation
was paid at the mortgage-burning
ceremony during the Remem
brance Day banquet. ,
President Andrew Bierling,
who set the paper afire, and
Treasurer Len McKnight, a for
mer president, who presented the
cancelled document, praised the
work of past presidents and secre
taries and active members who
made the modern Memorial Hall
possible.
President Bierling also expres
sed the Legion’s appreciation to
those who had assisted the branch
in its activities, especially in con
nection with the recent bingoes.
He termed the burning of the
mortgage "the greatest honor I
have ever had.”
Treasurer McKnight said the
mortgage on the new Memorial
Hall was the second one which
presented official town greetings,
said the burning of the mort
gage was "a sign that the Legion
is going somewhere.”
Among those at the head table
for the banquet were Legion vice-
presidents Max Harness and Reg
McDonald; Zone Commander J.
D. Thorndyke, of Clinton; Past
Zone Com m a n d e r "Scotty”
Forbes; and Rev. N. D. Knox.
Ladies of the Legion Auxiliary
served the turkey dinner. Mrs.
Harvey Pfaff, who replied to an
expression of appreciation, said
the Auxiliary was proud to assist
the branch in its activities.
The impressive Memorial Hall,
considered among the best of its
kind in Western Ontario, was
built in 1950 by volunteer labor
of the members. Constructed of
cement block, it has a modern
red-brick front with a landscaped
terrace and imposing entrance.
The large, modernly - decorated
main hall is usd for dances and
community banquets and other
activities. Cloak rooms, snack bar
and rest rooms are connected with
the hall. ( The basement of the
building houses a modern kitchen
and Legion recreation and meet
ing rooms.
The burning of the mortgage
climaxed a four-year campaign to
pay off the debt which included
bingoes, frolics, dances, raffles
and other money-raising projects.
In addition to raising funds for
the building, the Legion has spon
sored and assisted many commun
ity projects including the spon
sorship of intermediate baseball
and minor sports; it led the com
munity drive to install a trap rock
floor in the arena. The branch
also spent a considerable sum to
aid needy veterans and their
families.

the Legion has burned. The
branch owned a building on Main
Street before it built its present
hall.
He paid tribute ”to the World
War I veterans who had stuck to
gether to keep the branch alive
and who worked together to buy
the original building. He noted
that in those days the branch
sponsored Saturday night bingoes
which produced profits of only
$3.00 and $4.00 a night. Despite
these discouraging efforts, the
members kept working until the
debt was paid.
Thomas Pryde, MLA, who was
the second president of the
branch, recalled the time which
he thought was the turning point
in the success of the branch as
an organization. The occasion was
an election of officers and there
was no one who would accept the
post of president. Finally, <he
said, A. M. "Scotty” Easton vol
unteered to take the position and
the branch flourished again from
that time on.
Special praise was paid to R.
E. Pooley, who served as presi
dent for six years and who was
Zone Commander.

Many Honor
Fallen Heroes
Ninety veterans accompanied
by R.'C.A.F. personnel, the'Ladies
Auxiliary to the Legion, Boy
Scouts, Cubs, Brownjes, Girl
Guides and Rangers paraded to
Trivitt Memorial Church on Re
membrance Day.
Places of business were closed
and citizens of town and district
joined in the service.
The Rev. N. D. Knox remind
ed his listeners that this service
was one of many being attended
by millions of people throughout
the world to honor the fallen of
two great wars and the Korean
conflict.
He recalled that, after the
first World War, a sincere effort
was made to bring about peace
through the League of Nations
which dissolved into a still
bloodier war.
Wrangling can be heard on
the floor of the United Nations
conferences and Rev. Knox asked
"Can peace be brought about in
this way?”
He suggested that "When we
commemorate our war dead, we
remember that Jesus Christ made
the supreme sacrifice. He can
bring a greater peace than any
organization. Through faith in
Him, peace can be brought to a
world which is still under the
shadow of war and where hatred
and prejudice abound.”
The Rev. A. E. Holley and
Rev. H. J. Snell assisted in the
service. Allan Elston sang "O
Valiant Hearts”. Robert Cameron
presided at the organ.
Led by the R.C.A.F. Band, the
company paraded to the ceno
taph where Reeve R. E. Pooley
was in charge of the service.
Rev. H. J. Snell read the Scrip
ture and Rev. N. Knox led in
prayer.
Wreaths were placed at the
cenotaph by Ed Lindenfield, re
presenting the provincial govern
ment; Mayor W. G. 'Cochrane, the
town; R. 0. Dinney, the Lions
Club; Lloyd Ford, the Kinsmen;
Owen Atkinson, the I.O.O.F.; An

R.C.A.F.; Mrs. Harvey Pfaff, the
Legion Auxiliary; and Andrew
Bierling, the Legion.
Following the sounding of the
Last Post and Reveille by bug
lers Jim 'Crocker and Charles
Kernick, the parade passed the reviewing stand where the salute
was taken by G/C Cameron and
Legion president Andrew Bier
ling.
Peace Will Come
Cameron Believes
The commanding officer of
RCAF Station Centralia believes
the world community of nations
will achieve a lasting peace.
"There may be several more
wars, but eventually we will have
world peace,” Group Captain A.
M. Cameron, AFC, CD, predicted
at Exeter Legion’s Remembrance
Day banquet Thursday night.
"Peace will come to us if we
have the proper faith that it can.
Each of us should dedicate and
rededicate ourselves to that
faith.”
Group Captain Cameron said
this year’s Remembrance Day was
significant in that it is the first
Nov. 11 which has been preced
ed by 12 months without sub
stantial warfare somewhere in
the world.
Reviewing the attempts which
have been made to achieve world
peace, the Centralia officer said
"the United Nations has not been
quite the success we had hoped
it would be. However, with the
outbreak of trouble in Korea we
found that UN could take action
against aggression.” He praised
the United States, which he said
had done more than its share in
the Korean conflict. Canada did
a "reasonable” job in Korea, he
thought.
Group Captain Cameron said
Canadians must look on the
armed forces in peacetime as
"policy services”, ready to action
against warring nations. He said
the RCAF was the largest service
in Canada and it received the
most substantial part of the de
fence budget. "We appreciate the
confidence which the people of
Canada have placed in us,” he
said.
Thomas Pryde, M.L.A., intro
duced the commanding officer
and called on all ex-servicemen
to "take the lead in establishing
good public relations between
RCAF Station Centralia and civi
lians in the district”. Elmer D.
Bell, QC, expressed appreciation
to the speaker.
