ember 27th, 1945.
A. fitting welcome home for the
ladies and men of Hay Township,
was initiated by dr?. Hay Township
Council, in recognition of their ser-
vices rendered to their country dur-
ing the past six years. The Council

seated in an adjoining room. Rev.,
'Tr. A. Lucier led in the invocation,
after which the Reeve, Win. Haugh
gave the following address of wel.
Come,
"Honoured Guests and fellow cit-
izens, it affords me a great deal 01.
pleasure on behalf of the Township.
of Hay to officially welcome all of
you service women and men and
other guests representing all the.
various organizations in this Towne
ship. In planning this event we
thought it would 'be fitting to call all
of you together in this joyous and
peaceful Christmas season. It is with
deep regret that we are unable to
have all the men and women here at
this banquet tonight, due to the fact
iaiat some still on duty on foreign
fields, or in some needed capacity in
Canada. Our sympathy goes. out to
the bereaved homes that have given
a son who has paid the supreme sac-
rifice, that We might enjoy freedom.
"We are also reminded that there
are some who would like to he with
us but are lying on some sick bed
and are unable to attend.
"In the history of mankind there
are certain days that stand out in
relief. No all of us 1945.will never
be forgotten. It .was with joy that we
celebrated VE day and V,I day. This
was our Victorious year. The year
when the tyrants of the world were
crushed.
"For the last six years you were
called upon to do more than a man's
duty for your country, now in re-
turning we hope that every opportun-
ity will present itself whereby you
shall be able to again fit yourself into
some worthy civilian occupation.
"Again on behalf of the Township'
of Hay, we welcome you back to our
Township.
Mr. Leroy O'Brien acted as song
leader assisted by Mrs. H. G. Hess at
the piano. Group singing was enjoy-
ed .by all present. Mr. Haugh then

Campbell called for a toast to the
King. and the entire assembly replied
by singing the -National Anthem.
The honoured guests then chose
one of their number to lead thein to
theTownship Hall. They marched a-
round the 'block and were then ush-
ered through -a filled hall to seats 're-
served for them at the front of the

ed the song "O'Canada" to be follow-
ed by a short :Minstrel show given by

Mr. 0. Klopp. and Mr. A. J. Kalb-
fleiach. Mr. Kalbfleisch was asked to
act as chairman for the remainder of

The Clergymen were called in turn
to give a short address, and the chair-
man also gave a fitting addreee, the
youtext being as follows:
"Mr.'Reeve, Clergymen, Ladies and
gentlemen of the armed services and
citizen:
"It i indeed a great pleasure to be
here on this occasion to celebrate
with you. We are glad that hostilit-
ies have come to an end,and that
you are priveleged to be with us, and
particularly at this festive season of
the year, which undoubtedly enhanc-
es the purpose of this present gath-
ering.
"We are all happy that so many of
the armed forces who served at home
or abroad are able to be here after
passing through so many years of
distressing warfare; but intermingled
with this pleasure is a hidden grief.
We feel sad indeed that five have
perished on the field of battle, and
another after serving for four years,
and 'after reaching his native land,
due to the effects of war, passed on.
Our deepest sympathy is extended to
those who are bereaved.
Minute of 'silence—
Immediately following the minute
of silence the following verses from
Longfellow were quoted by the chair-
man.
Rest, Comrades, rest and sleep,
The thomehts of men shall 'be
As sentinels to keep
Your met from danger free.
Your silent tents of green
We deck with fragrant flowers;
Y.ours' has the suffering been,
The memory alta'ft be 0 1t111,--,,.

"Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentle-

before Ithe presentation. These gifts
are indent to be not only -mementos
of thi,occasion, but ties, and more
particecarly, tokens of our appreciat-
ion foeithe services •rendered to our
countra and the Ernpire. I believe
that i eonununity has tried to do
more '.6.an this community in trying
to kee,,i in touch with the boys while
they eeere away from home.. That
was baCause we were interested in
them nd wanted to assure them that
the fqks beak home had not for-
gotten'them. Tonight we are Tumour-
ing-thpm to .show that we still are
interested in them and..thanreful to
them.

gree ,xpress- our appreciation to

the cause of victory. But we do
want to do what we are able to do.
We hope you will believe us when
we tell you that our sincere thanks

"We ask you to accept these
signet rings and when you wear them
may you. think of- your thankful fel-
low citizens.'
Then groups of service women and
men were called to the platform and
then the Reeve, Mr. W. H. Haugh,
with the assistance of Mr. H. W.
Brokenshire, presented each person
with a signet ring having the follow-
ing suitable engraving within it: -39
Hay Twp. 45 -presented on behalf of
the ratepayers of Hay Township in
recognition of the services rendered
by these young women and men.
In closing, the chairman then
quoted the words of one of Canada's
greatest statesmen:
"As for you who stand to -day on
the threshold of life, with a long
horizon open before you, for a long
career of usefulness to your native
land, if you will permit me, after a
long life, I shall remind you that al-
ready many problems rise before you.
Lot me tell you for that the solution
of these problems you have a safe
guide, an unfailing light, if you re-
member that faith is better than
d.oubt, and love is better than hate.
"Banish doubt and fear from your
life. Let your souls. be ever open to
the promptings of faith, and the
gentle influence of brotherly love.
Be adamant against the haughty, be
gentle and kind to the weak, let your
ain and purpose in good report and
01, in victory or defeat, be so to
live, so to strive, so to serve, as to
do your part to raise ever higher
.the standard of life and of living."
Mr. Harold Stade on behalf of the
women and men then fittingly thank-
ed the ratepayers for the recognition
shown to the armed services.
This part of the Welcome Home
was concluded by singing the Nation-
al Anthem.
Immediately after this the hall was
cleared and a dance was held for
any one wishing to attend. Mr. T.
Meyers acted asleader of this for the
evening.
,r',ince those honoured on December
27th represented only about 5O% of
the total number who were in the
services, another reception 141 be
held at a later date.
