Home My WebLink AboutThe Goderich Signal-Star, 1983-11-16, Page 5Legion Branch 109 had a busy Remembrance Day this year. As well as the usual service at the Cenotaph in the morning, the Legion color party and several other members took part in the memorial service to commemorate the Great Storm of November 1913 held at the Maitland Cemetery mausoleum in the afternoon.

(Photo by Joanne Buchanan) Sixth annual service held to commemorate storm The sixth annual memorial service to commemorate the Great Storm of November 1913 was held at the Maitland Cemetery last Friday afternoon. Due to inclement weather, the service was held in the cemetery's mausoleum rather than at the graveside of the five unidentified seamen who washed ashore here after the storm 70 years ago. Wreaths were laid by Royal Canadian Legion Branch 109 and the Legion Ladies' Auxiliary; the Town of Goderich; and the Goderich Kinsmen Club. The Reverend G.L. Royal read the scripture and delivered the prayer. Also participating in the service was the Legion color party and Bert McCreath who played the bagpipes. Ron Pennington, a Goderich native and retired Great Lakes sailor who initated the first memorial service here six years ago, gave a brief history of the disastrous three day storm which swept the Great -Lakes and claimed the lives of 245 sailors. He reminded those present that three Goderich sailors had lost their lives in the storm but only one of the bodies had ever washed ashore, that of Murdock McDonald who is now buried in the Maitland Cemetery. Mayor Eileen Palmer gave a brief message on behalf of the town and told those present that the memoriafl service would continue to be held here as long as an in- terest in it remains. 4-H group performs skit . Tiger Dunlop 4-H group, "Confident Consumers", with one of their leaders, Mrs. Sharon Edward, attended Achievement Night at Brookside School on Tuesday, November 8. The evening opened with the 9-H pledge after which the leaders received their badges and pins. An interesting film on the next project, "Granny's Quilts", was shown and proved very interesting. It was enjoyed by all. The 4-H groups, numbering about 12, then gave their presentations which were mostly skits on the subject, "Happiness is Keeping Fit". This subject was also chosen by the Tiger Dunlop group for their skit. Judy Walter introduced it and Kay Edward played the part of the fitness instructor. Kim Edward, Virginia Hook and Nancy Walter played three especially plump young women who had come to fitness class to learn how to reduce and get back their girlish figures. After several lessons, the girls had regained their slim figures and everyone was happy. After the skits, the members of the dif- ferent 4-H groups received their silver spoons as a thankyou for taking the course. Now that Achievement Day for this project is over, the next project on the subject of quilting will start early in the New Year. Tiger Dunlop Women's Institute thanks Mrs. Helen Riehl and Mrs. Sharon Edward for leading the 4-H group and for their in- terest. It is hoped that the girls who took the project really enjoyed it.
