"... in the morning" we remembered It was a grey bleak day and a chill wind rustled through the 21 memorial wreaths placed on the cenotaph to honor the men of Wingham locality who perished in two world wars. The names of those who died were read aloud by the mayor of the town and were carried away by the damp breeze. A trumpet sounded and the plaintive call of "Last Post" died into a deep, thoughtful silence as several hundred residents bowed their heads in grateful remem- brance of the young men who perished in those struggles long ago.- The notes of "Reveille" awoke from their deep thought the war veterans and their wives in their triple ranks as well as the Scouts, Cubs and Brownies and citizens who lined the sidewalks and grass around the memorial on Diagonal Road. A hymn "Eternal Father" sup- . ported by the Salvation Army Band was wafted into the sky and the words of Rev. Barry Pass- more pronouncing a benediction carne strongly over the micro- ' phone. Then the assembly sang the National Anthem. Flag bearers of the color party left their places about the grey granite symbol of remembrance and took their place in front of the ex -soldiers, sailors and airmen., The band struck up and the par- ade marched oft. As We Grow Old The "lads" of yesteryear, now' older, greyer, fewer in numbers, marched faithfully once again, back to the Legion Hall. Some re- entered the workaday world and went back to work. Others -stayed in the world of memories with their old comrades. ., • Wingham kept the faith and "remembered them". The Saturday morning service at the cenotaph was the culmina- tion of a number of. similar serv- ices carried out in areapublic and secondary school's` and churches on Nov. 5 and Nov. 10, and was part of the mosaic of Re- membrance . which stretched from coast to coast through Canada and much of the world. Chairman for the service was President Ian Edward of` Wing - ham Branch '180 of the Royal Canadian Legion, with one of the members, Mayor DeWitt Miller welcoming participants on behalf of the town and reading the names of the fallen. The familiar anti traditional hymn "0 God Our Help in Ages Past" was included in the service, with the support of the Salvation Army Band con- ducted by Capt. J. Cameron. Rev. M. S. Kaminski offered prayer. The names of the war dead were read aloud, evoking memo- ries of their personalities among the relatives and friends who re- membered them.

Remenrbranc The ing prayer wtth,.a. theme for Remembrance Day was given by the president, Mrs. Robert Armstrong who conduct- ed the regular meeting of the Wo- men's Missionary Society of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church on Tuesday of last week.. The devotional period was con- ducted by Mrs. W. Congram and Miss Myrtle Deans. The .scripture reading and meditation given by Mrs. Coagram were based on the statement, "There is joy in true religion". She referred to Psalm 100 which is a psalm of, praise with the exhortation to praise God with a joyful noise, and serve the Lord with gladness. The hall- mark of true religion is joy. In- numerable references are .,found in both old and new testaments. Joy, as,described in the Bible, is something we get from our Knowledge that God is a living God, and that Jesus Christ is our Saviour. Joy is not only a gift but a duty. The dominant note of Jesus' personality was radiant, conta- gious joy. On so many occasions He brought joy to those with whom He came in contact, and BOOSTER JACK GOODALL got a SSO cheque as his reward for winning the monthly draw in the Wingham 1'llilnor Hockey Booster Club.

In it we pay tribute to the early explorers and settlers who suffered incredible hardships building the foundation for our country. We also remem- ber the democratic freedom which is ours today.
