Special Appeal by the Chaplain The Legion would like the public to revive its waning interest in this annual Remembrance Day by a better attendance at the Armistice Cere- monies because our boys in the fight- ing forces in this present war will measure 'their country's appreciation of their services by the sympathetic interest it takes in the veterans of the last war, and the gratitude for their sacrifices, especially those who made the supreme sacrifice. Show them in a practical way that their country and the people at home ap- preciate their services and are deep- ly grateful to them. All legionaires, ex -service men and members of the armed forces are especially urged to be in attendance. CAPT. (REV.) T. P. HUSSEY, Chaplain.

The Seaforth Branch of the Can- adian Legion is grateful for the hearty support they have always re- ceived from the general public to make the lot of distressed ex -service men easier and it is our hope that there will be no partial or permanent black -out for them.
