sence, it was a great feeling. The
whole program was broadcast
live on two radio stations and on
TV.
Following the service at the
Memorial Arena buses were laid
on to transport Legionnaires and
their guests to the Legion Hall
where the good ladies of the
Auxiliary had one of the finest
smorgasbord dinners I have
witnessed laid on - turkey, roast
beef, baked ham, numerous
salads, hot home cooked pork and
beans, you name it and it was
there. All during the afternoon
the Comrades had sing-a-longs,
individual acts and a concert
from their own brass band with
the Legionettes a group of young
baton artists doing their act.
At around 5:30 p.m. the good
ladies of the Auxiliary laid on a
second smorgasbord dinner
every bit as good as the first one
(both incidentally were free). By
7:00 p.m. the upstairs Hall was
cleared in preparation for the
free dance which was to begin at
9:00 p.m.
All in all I would have to say
this was one of the finest
Remembrance Day Services I
have had the privilege to witness
- the response of the public was
just tremendous.
Incidentally just following the
services and while still at the
Memorial Arena, a kindly elderly
lady came over to me and said
'Sidney, I don't suppose you
remember me but when I heard
you were the speaker, I made up
my mind to come and hear what
you had to say? I had to admit
that I didn't recognize her, she

By SID DALEY
With the infrequency this
column has been submitted in
recent weeks possibly we should
change the caption to Daley's
Guess When Comments - in any
event here we are back from the
North country and thought I
would give you some insight of
the Remembrance Services held
in my old home town Sault Ste
Marie.
At the beginning of Poppy
Week a small contingent of
Legionnaires together with the
President of the Ladies Auxiliary
proceeded to the Court House on
Queen Street, in the heart of the
Sault, where I had the privilege
of assisting in the raising of the
Poppy Flag announcing to the
public that the sale of Poppies
was under way and the sale,
continued for the full week. On
Sunday, November 10,,Branch 25
held the executive dinner for the
executive members their wives
and guests which were myself
and father.
Then on November 11 all
Legionnaires mustered at the
Memorial Arena on Queen Street,
I would judge at least 150
Legionnaires were on parade,
even though the weather was
inclement. We then marched
about 6 blocks along Bay Street to
Pim Street Park to the Legion's
Brass Band. Upon arrival at the
park the parade marshal ordered
the Comrades to the 'open order'
when it was my pleasure to
conduct an inspection and renew
old acquaintances, following
which the ranks were closed and
the complete parade marshalled.
With the 40 piece Legion Band,
150 Legionnaires plus Sea Cadets
and their band, the army and air
cadets together with the Elks
and their band, I would judge the
parade to be at least 1 mile in
length.
From this point the parade
moved off one block north to
Queen Street (the main street) to
the cenotaph in front of the court
house where it was my honor to
place a wreath, from this point
the parade proceeded back to the
Memorial Arena where the
Remembrance Services were
held. I would judge in excess of
3000 persons were in attendance.
The colors were marched on at
the slow march and the usual
Remembrance Day Services
conducted with the exception
there were two anthems sung by
a childrens choir of about 200
voices, just beautiful.
In all humility may I add it was
my honor to be the guest speaker
to this huge crowd, a lad retur-
ning home after 40 years ab-
years) when I was their after-
four delivery boy - I want to tell
you, this made my day.
and that's 30 for this week

Being watchful to avoid the
frittering away of kilowatthours is
everyone's concern, in the inter-
est of economy and conservation
of valuable energy resources.
But for some people, living in
older homes with outdated wiring,
restricted use of appliances is not
always a matter of choice. They
do not have sufficient circuits to
serve normal needs without
resorting to 'octopus' outlets and
extension cords, The result:
overloading and blowing of fuses.
These conditions also tend to
diminish the performance of
appliances and shortens their life.
Inadequate wiring is not only
inconvenient, it can be a safety
hazard. If you have any doubts
about the capacity of your home's
wiring have 'it checked by a
qualified Electrical Contractor,
