In conclusion he said "We do re- member them and we thank God for what they have done for us. We thank God that he has taken that army of -valiant dead to be and live with him. But we must do more than merely remember them. Under God, with his • help; let us promise and resolve that we are going to make our lives, our com- munity, our land, which they have died to save, a hope and a blessing and a power for a world at peace. Only then can we keep faith with those whose memory we honour to- day." Wreaths at the cenotaph were laid by the following: Auxiliary, president, Mrs. Gordon Munn; Township of Hay, Reeve V. L.
