Day of Remembrance
Continued from Page 1
MOVING CEREMONY
At exactly 8 p.m. two
minutes of silence are ob-
served. A deep stillness
reigns, not soul stirs in the
,square. A single bird sings in
the branches of a nearby elm
and up in the sky the clouds
glide silently by, as they did
40 years ago when Friesland
was free again.
The subsequent placing of
the wreaths allows an un-
forgettable insight into the
"sentiments living in the
hearts of the people
We cannot begin to men-
tion all the wreaths. First 1
there are the official ones, di
those placed by the mayor,
by Lt. -Col. Whyte, by the c
chief of police, by the people h

Next come the bands, after
having played the Dutch
national anthem (Wil-

ceremony at the monument.
Behind them a solemn pro-
cession sets in motion.
The marching order dif-
fers from that of the parade
to the resistance movement.
The mayor of the town and
Lt. -Col. Whyte lead the way.
After them come the Cana-
dian veterans and their
wives, followed by the other
invited guests. Remember

In New York recently, I
had occasion to watch a bag
lady go about her daily ritual
of pawing through trash bags
at the curb.
She was wearing a plaid
blouse, a green sweater, a
mauve vest and a tan coat
with a blue scarf over an
versized skirt that stopped
n inch or so short of a pair
of tennis shoes worn with
baggy socks.
I gasped. With the excep-
on of the blue scarf and
laid blouse, we were dress -
