I go t� remember those who died to keep our country free. I go to honour those who fought, returned and are working to make our country a better place to live. Yes, we stood in the rain to do so; but the pictures in my mind were of those young men who died agonizing, lonely deaths in a sea of mud. 1f they gave so,much, can we refuse to do so little? A pitifully small number of Exeter spectators chose to.remember. That saddens me. Traffic was allowed to flow freely behind those who stood in the street to honour their comrades. That angers me. Why cannot.one block be closed to traffic for 2n minutes? I know our main street is par' highway, but 1 am cert thr necessary permission could tx• obtain ed. I don't consider that too much to ask to honrrlr thr who answered their country's call. Sincerely, . Ilelen Hodgins taw — "THE FEMALE TOUCH" Wallpapering Painting Reasonable Rates Free estimates .
