Knox remembers war veterans
Offertory stewards
Logan and Dean
prelude of sacred
presented by Mrs.
An atmosphere of reverence and
remembrance pervaded the sanctu
ary of Knox United Church, Bel
grave, Sunday, November 11, for
the observance of Remembrance
Day.
Mr. and Mrs. Jack Higgins
welcomed members and guests on
their arrival,
were Shawn
Vincent.
An organ
numbers was
George Procter, who also accom
panied the hymns and the choir
anthem, “God of Our Fathers”.
Following a Prayer of Remem
brance for the Fallen, O Canada
and one minute’s silence, G. Ross
Anderson read the names of volun
teers from the W.W.I Honour roll -
those who served and those who
paid the supreme price. Clifton
Walsh read the names recorded on
the 1939-45 Honour Roll.
The Communion table, with a
green cloth cover, held a grouping
of small, white, poppy-adorned
crosses to signify “Flanders
Field”. An oil portrait of Sir
Winston Churchill flanked by
Canadian and Union Jack flags and
a globe, emblematic of world
participation were also among the
artifacts on the table display.
Photographs shown were of
James McCallum, James H. Coul-
tes, Elmer McGuire, John S.
Anderson, C. R. Coultes and Harry
McGuire - W.W.I. veterans.
Other mementoes included four
medals awarded to Signaller John
S. Anderson, the telegram deliver
ed to inform Mrs. George Coultes
of C.R.’s wounds, his discharge
certificate and knife and fork which
he carried through France. An
Airforce uniform complete with cap
and knapsack, a khaki cap, two
framed pictures of servicemen of
the 161st Batallion, a photo of 7
platoon, war-related poems and a
container of scarlet poppies com
pleted the arrangement.
Rev. Peter Tucker conducted an
inspiring service on “What Kind of
Peace?”
In previous wars men were
conscripted for service. Decisions
were made for them without
choice. War took the youngest and
the finest. Children were left
fatherless, often homeless. Today,
we again stand on the brink of war
just for a strip of sand.
The majority of people long for
home, security and tranquility.
National leaders seem to forget
about the war in senseless Central
America and similar situations.
The desire to rule and control is
upper most in their minds.
Peace, injustice and freedom
always go hand in hand. There
must be freedom for “All” or
“None”. Let freedom start in each
of us. We need a humbling and
cleansing of mind to open our
actions to a loving God. Sow seeds
of peace and thus honour those who
served and died to save us. At the
going down of the sun and in the
morning, we shall remember them.
Serving Blyth, Clinton,
Bayfield, Seaforth, Goderich
and area.

UCWdiscusses war’s hardships
The regular meeting of the
Evening Unit of Knox United
Church, Belgrave, was held
November 5 at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Ross Anderson with 24 pre
sent. Members answered the roll
by contributing an article to the

Hymns 516 and 399 were sung.
Mrs. Johnston read scripture,
Romans 2 (1-12). Mrs. Anderson

Nation”, dealing with our pride in

hands of God.

Christmas dinner for the Women’s
Institute, Tuesday, December 11 at
7 p.m. M^s. Dorothy Logan lead
the study program. She had the
group consider the effect of T.V. on
our beliefs and values. T.V. has
been rated as the most effective
propaganda tool ever invented. It
gives us the message that power
and possessions bring happiness.
For true happiness the world must
be more peace oriented. Mrs.
Robert Grasby and Mrs. Mabel
Wheeler gave a skit contrasting
scripture with T.V. violence.
The roll call for the December
