Local groups remember lay wreaths Remembrance Day ser- vices were held Wednesday, November 11 at the Brussels cenotaph, followed by a church service at Duff's Uni- ted Church in Walton. Legion Short Shots by Evelyn Kennedy The cold winds that blew on November 11th must have discouraged a number of folks who wanted to attend the Remembrance Day service at the Cenotaph. Those involved in the service were there but not a great number of others were in attendance. That did net mean that those who stayed at the home did not pause at that time to remember. Perhaps there were silent prayers that the.war clouds that hover over our world will be peacefully dispersed and that never again will it be required that so many young lives be sacrificed. ***** Curling, one of Canada's great winter sports; will soon be in full-swing here agaitt this year.

She questioned why she had not been informed before it happened: We do not know the answer to that. It is certainly inconvenient to be unexpectedly without necessary water. We suppose, however, that there may be times when something happens to cause the shut-off without us being informed. *5*** There are medical authorities and hospitals Who have come to the realization that pets are valuable contributors to the well being of the elderly.
