The different committees had been on the job for two weeks and the result3 easily justified their efl'ftrts,. The town, particularly the business section around the square, was elabor- ately decorated with flags, banners and streamers, while the business melt fixed up their fronts. with evergreen, and'"flags, in the evening the square was lit up with hundreds of 'Chinese lanterns. The day's .program started at 7.30 .e na., with the blowing of whistles, ring- ing of bells an an auto parade, in which nearly all the autos in town took part, At 10 o'clock the 'big parade, consisting of decorated floats, autos, calithumplatl5 and clowns, head- ed by the band, and followed by the Town Council, ten veterans of '66 anal the local war veterans, about one :tun-• dyed in number, After the procession speeches were made by the mayor, Rev, A. L. G. Clarke, Dr. Evans, nephew of Lloyd George, ,Lieut. Jean Picard, officer of the French army in the -first battle of the Maren, and Dr. George Adams, of Montreal. The last three spoke inter- estingly of the event,declaring it the .neatest day the world has seen since the coming of Christ, After dinner a program of sports was put on in the square for the children ;old later for the older ones, all be- ing keenly contested, The presence of some 40 Y. AL 0, A. boys froyt London, who are camping at Poll!. Fend, added interest to the events, they taking a fair share in the evants, The tug of-walr proved to be the best event, five teams being entered, but the hardest pull was 115 pull -oft between the Goderich Township farm- ers and the Western Canada Flour `'lilts teams, the result being a tie, the last pail taking 35 minutes, Following 1 supper the local and Goderich base. ball teams played- a good game, the for- u
