Armistice Day dawned clear and
cold reminding one of the same date
in 1918 and for the first time in years
the service at the cenotaph was held
under sunny skies.making us hope it
was a good omen; for peace.
The parade, composed of the Boy
Scouts, Wingham Citizens’ Band, the
Veterans, Civic Officials, members of
Fraternal Organizations, met at the
Armouries and at. 10.30 marched to
the Cenotaph where a large number
of citizens had assembled to do hon
our to our glorious dead.
After a few appropriate remarks by
Mayor Hanna, who acted as chair
man, all joined in singing “Oh God,
our help in ages past,” after which
Rev. E. L. Roberts led in prayer. The
Scripture reading, Micah 4: 1-7,
taken by Rev. J. F. Anderson,
by the Band, “Abide with me”

Rev. Renneth MacLean gave the
address, taking for his subject “War
and Peace.” He said, we have only
to read our papers to learn of the
awfulness of war, of bombs being
dropped on cities, of wells being pois
oned, of ships being torpedoed, and
as the years pass these instruments of
war are being perfected to destroy
more of helpless humanity.
It was the Czar of Russia who took
the first step to have a court of peace
established, resulting in an interna
tional tribunal out' .of which grew the
Hague Conference.' It set the world
thinking, he stated, for the first.time
seriously, that after all there is a bet
ter way of finding solutions of the
world problems than by going to war.
In spite of the sufferings in the
world, war, the League of Nations
which was formed after the Armistice
was signed, is fast losing prestige and
the world is now looking forward to
some new machinery by which war
can be no more.
After the two minutes silence the
Last Post was sounded and standards
lowered. The prayer of remembrance
was given by Rev. E. L. Roberts af
ter which Reveille was sounded and
standards raised.
The" following floral tributes were
laid at the foot of the Cenotaph: the

HOCKEY SITUATION
STILL IN THE AIR
No definite plans have been made
as yet here for O.H.A. or W.O.H.A.
hockey. In an intermediate O.H.A.
team fails to materialize, it is most
likely that a W.O.H.A. team will be
etered.
The Wingham Athletic Association
(formerly the Central League Club)
will sponsor a junior team, but as yet
it‘has not been decided whether they
will be entered in O.H.A. or W.O.H.
A. This association is also sponsor
ing four teams from the public school
which should do much to make for
better hockey here in the future.
There is also some talk of a team
from here grouping with Belmore,
Wroxeter and a few others but this
so far is very much up in the air.
