'Veterans Of Zone Ten Held'.'
Impressive Service Here
On Sunday
Major Beattie of London, Speaker
Sunday was the day for the veterns
of Zone 10 to hold their annual mem-
orial service and Clinton the place to
which they arranged to come. And
they same, in large numbers, also their
friends neighbors and families from
many communities until a very large
conipany gathered in Recreation Park
for the occasion.
The majority of the spectators gath-
ered before the veterans came and
were arranged in a circle around the
bandstand, at the back of which the
speakers' platform was arranged.
The.. veterans met at the public
school, where they ,formed into com-
panies and a few minutes to three they
marched to the park, each company
being headed by a band. They made
a fine showing as they marched wear-
ing their medals and berets. They ;ar-
rannged themselves around three sides
leaving a square in the centre, when
all faced the speaker.
Major K. McGoun was in charge of
the service and, led by the Clinton
Concert Band, . a couple of Ihymnis
were sung; the General Confession
was said, led by Major McGoun, and
later Rev. G. G. Burton read the
scripture lesson.
The speaker of the afternoon was
Major Win. Beattie of . London who
was a chaplain during the war. He
chose as his text a passage from the
Book of James, the writer of which
he said was a very practical man,
who wanted things done. The verses
chosen were: "If any be a hearer of
the word and not a doer, he is like
unto a man who beholdeth his face
in a glass and - straightway forget -
tech what manner of man he was.".
And he took a.look into the past in-
to the present and into the future.
In looking into the past he saw the
nations, all down the ages, engaged
in war with one another. "Wax," he
declared, "was the most futile thing

corated with autumn flowers and pres-
ented a very attractive appearance.

ident, took the chair for the opening,
when 0 Canada was heartily sung,

At the conclusion of the installat-

on the aims and objects of the Home
and School Club, the key word being
Co -Operation.
Principal Jefferson of the Public
School was called upon to present
the Club's prize money to the boy
and girl taking the highest marks in
the Entrance Examination, Gene
Hearn and. Billy Counter, and he con-
gratulated them warmly. He also
spoke very appreciatively of the work
of the Club and the success which has
attended their efforts.
During the evening Mrs. H. C.
Lawson and Miss Viola Fraser con-
tributed much enjoyed solos. The
program was closed by the singing
of God Save The ,,Ding. And then a
contest served to mingle the com-
pany for refreshments which were
served later.
The table, at which Mrs. Chowen
and Mrs. W. D. Fair poured tea, was
decorated with yellow flowers. Mrs.
Fingland and Mrs. G. Hanley looked
after the serving of the guests, a
bevy of helpers assisting.
ever concieved." It engendered hate,
destroyed life and interfered with the
progress of the nations. And he touch-
ed upon the horrors of a war in fut-
ure when the home cities would be
attacked by incendirary bombs, gas
bombs, etc. "In the past," he said,
"the soldier stood between his home'
and the enemy." That will be no long-
er possible for the enemy will make
straight for the opponent's capital
cities and lay them in ruins.
The speaker said that while war
was horrible, that some good came
out of it, it gave an opportunity of
the developement of self-sacrifice,
he knew cases in which those bring-
ing in prisoners gave them the last
drop of water in their possession -and
treated therm with tenderness and
pity. "But he said, "The good was
there and this was just an opportunity
to bringing it out, no good coming out
of war can compensate for the evil."
He urged his hearers to align them-
selves on the side of peace. This was
what was enjoined upon all: reurned
men by those of the high command
at all conventions.
What the world needs is more of
the spirit of the Prince of Peace. He
told of hearing a soldier saying, when
talking things over with some com-
rades "We do not give God Almighty
half a decent chance with us." And
the speaker said: "What we need is
to give God Almighty a half: decent
chance with us. If we did He would
help us to build a better world, one
in which the fatherhood of God and
the brotherhood of man would pre-
vail."
He concluded- with a story from his
own experience. He was touring in
England some years ago, since the
war, and stopping one night in a town
in the north he was walking with
some others of the party and stopped
to speak to a women who was sitting
at her door. After asking some
questions he discovered that she had
had a son killed in the war and that
he wentwith- the Canadians. He
asked whatunit he was in and found.
it was his own, and the mother said:

when the above accident occurred. ,

cident about her son. "You need not
tell me," said Major Beattie, "that
that meeting was not a providential
one that God had nothing to do with
it. You might as well tellme that
I am not alive and standing :here to-
day. God has not.. forgotten His world
and if we would but allow Him he
would order our lives in: such a way
that we would be able to carry out
his will more closely."

There must be a mint of old coins

Mrs. Edward Glen of Stanley has

sian 'coin, dated 1832.
Mr. W. J. Vodden of Goderich town-
ship has a whole purseful of differ-
ent coins, some ancient, some pot so
ancient. One of the oldest is a Hong

German 10 Peffnnig piece, dated 1788.
He also has Dutch and French pieces,
dated 1855 and 1870 and an American
coin. dated 1865, a Bengian 5 cen piece
.a 3 cent piece and the smallest coin,
a half cent piece, the tiniest coin
we've ever seen. He has a penny with
a large crown on the reverse side and
one with a Harp. Others are dated
1812-16-37-44-42-61-50- and 52.
Mr. Vodden also showed us a couple
of flint arrow heads which'he had
picked up on his farm and a steel
arrow head which he had
picked up in the west. The flints are
still sharp enough to make a wound
like a ragged bullett if shot from a
swift bow.

coins of more or less antiquity. One
is an English silver piece about the

1756 a penny of. Georgius IIII's time
