CIVIC SERVICE OF ANGLICAN LAYMEN REMEMBRANCE WILL CONDUCT SERVICE - BE HELD TUESDAY SECTIONAL MEETING CHAMPION TEAMS NORTH HURON W. M. 3. BANQUET MONDAY PURCHASE A POPPY . ON SATURDAY "Brave Men Died That You. Might Wear It" The local Branch of the Canadian Legion is making its annual PUPPY DAY appeal to the people of this com- munity on Saturday, November 8. The Poppy Fund is now a recognized insti- tution wherever the Canadian Legion exists in Canada and it serves a two- fold purpose of much merit, The money which is raised by the distribu- tion of the Poppy—the symbol of sac- rifice--is used entirely to relieve un- usual distress among War Veterans of the last war and the recent conflict, and their fathilies. At all times it has been fOund that the Veterans, in view of the fact that many of them have disabilities and handicaps, suffer even more than others who are out of em- ployment, since many of them require special care and attention which •they are unable to provide. This is where the Poppy Fund, raised through the sale of Poppies by the local Branch of the Legion, steps in and provides re- lief for !the situation. There is another reason why every citizen should wear a Poppy for Re- membrance Day. These Poppies are manufactured in the Vetcraft shops of Canada, workshops in which handle- capped Veterans are given sheltered employment, and in which they manu- facture the hundreds of thousands of Poppies which are distributed every year at this time. By wearing a Poppy, citizens can find much satisfaction in knowing that they are helping the4 handicapped Veterans to obtain a live- lihood which they would otherwise lack on account of their special dis- abilities. This two-fold appeal should find a ready response in the hearts and minds of the people of this community. which has always been ready to make the way easier for those of its Citizens who served Country and Empire in the Great War, and. in the recent conflict. We recommend it to your sympathetic consideration, in the hope that you will respond generously and thui help to hold the torch ,flung to you by those who did not come back. More Raspberries oe" Mr, David Finley brought into our office on Saturday a couple of rasp- berry stalks loaded with berries, The most of them were as large in size as those picked during the regular season. Engagement Announced The engagement is announced of Ada Beatrice, daughter of Mrs. Adam Nickel and the late Mr. Nickel ofCar- rick, to Douglas Aitcliison, sorilof Mt'' and Mrs. Horace Aitchison of Wing- ham.
