The Huron Expositor, 1995-11-15, Page 8S-Tllt NINION 11.10001111r011, Nwsw*sr 1$, ISN ommunity Legion busy with Remembrance Day Services The Legion was very busy this past week with Remembrance services. On Thursday we attended services at Maplewood Manor where Major Frank Golding delivered the service to the residents. We then proceeded to Seaforth Manor where again Major Golding conducted the service reading a prayer which was said at the first Remembrance Day service on Parliament Hill Nov. 11, 1919. The colour party was under Sgt. -at -arms Errol Skillender and the music for Last Post, etc., by Gwen Harburn. The residents at the Manor joined in the singing of hymns. The Legion would like to thank both Maplewood and the Manor for asking us to join them at this time of year. Last week I neglected to mention The Brussels Pipe Band which so ably escorted us to the church service and Seaforth Legion `Ba � byrbttlra ScoK � back to the Legion. We really appreciate their assistance and I apologize for omitting them. On Friday morning, sixteen members of the Legion and Auxiliary attended the service at the Seaforth District High School. The students had prepared a very moving service with the assistance of the, choir. P.R.O. Barbara Scou spoke on behalf of the Legion on 'Why we wear the Poppy'. President John Lansink introduced the Legion and Auxiliary members and two cadets who joined us. Sgt. -at -arms Errol Skillender was in charge of the colour party. Also on Friday, a service by the students was held at the public school. Once again Major Golding read the poem from 1919. The students and choirs of the school presented the program. The Legion really appreciated being asked to spate at these schools. aS turday, Nov. 11, the weatherman did not co- operate and the Remembrance service was held at Branch 156. A good crowd attended. The stage had been decorated with uniforms, etc., and served as the cenotaph for the laying of the wreaths and the Poppy drop. Cadets stood on each side with their rifles at the 'rest on your arms reverse' position. Major Frank Golding conducted the service and Sgt. -at -arms Errol Skillerlder was in charge of the colours and Mel Melanson in charge of the parade. After the conclusion of the service, lunch was served downstairs. The Clinton Pipe Band arrived as they usually do and entertained us. Later in the evening a potluck supper was enjoyed by about 25 of us. This was a nice way to end a memorable day. Youth Education chairman Charles Perkins reports that the entries for the Poems, Essays and Posters contest are all in and have been judged.
