Remembrance Day
Inevitably, in the inexorable march of time, Remembrance Day is
upon us—a day of reconeecrattion. November llth is a day of na-
tional sorrow. The spirit which in the first few years after the war
celebrated this anniversary with wild hilarity is .happily gone. It
has been replaced with a spirit of reverence, -one whicih insists upon
due homage being 'paid to our dead. Throughout Canada Remem-
brance Day will be the occasion for brief but earnest
ceremonies with the depositing of wreaths on Ceno-
taphs and War Memorials. The service is dedicated
in memory of the men who gave their lives for Can-
ada, as a mark of profound respect for those dearest
to them, and as a reminder to all of the sacrifices
made by those young Canadians on their behalf, not
only during the Great War, b-ut in the restless years
of the Peace. •
. In Seaforth the service will be under the aus-
pices of the Canadian Legion and will be conducted as usual at the
Soldiers' Memorial in Victoria Park on the morning of Monday, llth
November. The parade, preceded by the Boy Scouts, the Seaforth
Highlanders Band, and including the Town .Council, wreath bearers,
school Children -and! the veterans, will leave the Town Hall at 10.15
a.m. to Victoria Park. The usual service will be carried out, inclu•d-
Mg the solemn two minutes' silence at eleven o'cloek in sacred ane.m-
lory of the fallen heroes of the Great War.

In the conversation which follow-

would drive on to another sta-

would buy a ticket if Mr. Lilley
