the Legion, Ladies’
An appeal to veterans to serve
their church, their community and
their nation in peacetime as vi
gorously as they served during
wartime was made by Rev. Alex
ander Rapson during the Rem-
brance Day service in Main St.. XJnited Church Friday.
"You ought to be giving your
selves to your communities as
readily as you* gave yourself to
your country," he said. “As you
do that you will fee paying tribute
to those who paid the supreme
sacrifice.”. . .
"Promote and further the things
they gave their lives for,” the
minister urged.
"This is your decade men”, he
told the Legion members. "Maybe
you thought you were getting a
raw deal in the first decade but
this decade and the next decade
are yours—they belong to you".
"You should enter into com
munity life and play a very ade-
- quate roll in it.”
Have Duty To Perform
Rev. Rapson said he did not
know why some, got through the
war .and others didn’t—why some
survived heavy artillery fire while
■Others were killed by a single
shell—but he felt that those who
are' left have a task to do.
"Everything that is dear is paid
for at great price," he said. Liber
ty, the sanctuary, the school—the
price to enjoy all these was great.
Someone had to pay.
Legion members, the Legion
Auxiliary, Cubs Girl Guides and
Brownies led by the Legion band,

Padre's Flag
Drapes Pulpit
A flag which saw action in
Italy and Holland during the sec
ond world war draped the pulpit
for the Remembrance Day Service
at Main St. United Church Fri
day.
Rev. Alexander Rapson, who
termed the Union Jack “no ordi
nary flag" said it had been plac
ed over tables and boxes to form
an altar for church services; .had
been draped over drums to form
a pulpit at drumhead '.services;
■ had flown at half-mast above the
■ graves of Canadians who lost
. their lives in the front lines.
The flag was part of the com
munion kit issued the minister
when he became padre of the
Forty-Eighth Highlanders Regi
ment. He joined the regiment in
Italy in December, 19'54, and re
mained with it when it moved to
Holland to fight until the war
ended in 1945. Rev. Rapson is an
honorary major of the outfit.
The Union Jack participated
In.an unique memorial service at
a small cemetery plot for the
Highlanders ott top of a dyke in
Holland. The service was. held
when the tulip season was at its
height and the" natives covered
the entire cemetery with the col
orful flowers. “A solid mass of
tulips covered the graves," Rev.
Rapson said. “The only thing you
Could see were the crosses.”
Mr. Rapson was padre of the
Sarnia Garrison, a reserve unit,
after the war. He is assistant pad
re to Rev, N. D. Knox-in the lo
cal Legion branch.
