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” sung. Rev. Reiineth MacLean gave Was Led was 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 Province of Ontario, deposited by Mrs. Bailie, the Town of Wingham, by Mr. W. J. Galbraith, A.F. & A.M. 286, by W. T.

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.
