In Goderich, Kin- cardine and other towns, and especially In the cities, was the day brought to the . atterition of _the people by official proclamation. This was so in Brant- ford, Fort William, Kitchener, Mont- real, Moose jaw, Niagara Falls, Que- bec City,eSairit Johri, N.B., Saekatostn, Swift Current, Stratford, Sudbury, 'Thr - Onto, Victoria and Winnipeg. Un- doubtedly there were many such official endorsements which have not as yet come within the notice of the As- sociation here. Increased support was noted in the churches last Sunday as ministers re- minded their congregations that they should mark the day be ,visiting or .in other ways remembering the sick and disabled. The daily and weekly press made many references to tlie day, while on the radio an -increasing num- ber of programs were carried 'appropri- ate to the ocicasion, one of them, -from a Toronto station, featuring Mayor •gaunders of that city in an appeal to - the citizene of Termite' to observe the day fittingly.
