Mon- day evening, Wingham Hurons de- feated Seaforth Bosharts 11-5 before a large crowd of enthusiastic tans. The rivalry between these two teams commenced .again in• the first innings, and was the aftermath of a Saturday night game in Wingham when Seaforth .claimed they lost the winning run on a wrong decision, the game ending- a tie. Seaforth started scoring in the first frame.. However, Wingham didn't waste any time when they garnered two runs in the second on two errors and three hits. •In the ,third 'Seaforth tied the count. ' Wingham then .'took control and were never headed, although Seaforth managed to fill the bases at one tinie. Jardine hammed with no one on, and Eisler retired the side •en a smart catch of Beli's line drive. Eisler then came through with a three -base hit, but Seaforth didn't seem to be able to score in the . parches.,Kennedy. pitched smart ball ih the fith, retir- ing the Wingham batters in. order. Beattie came in in the fifth, ,replac- ing Deneau, who couldn't seem • to connect in the clutch. Wingham's half •of the sixth proved •disastrous to Seaforth and Kennedry, as they scored four markers. O'Shea took up the pitching. chore •'for Sea - forth and allowed' two runs. B1I1, Smith in left field was' the outstandi- ing Seaforth player in the field; mak,. ing many good catches and especial- ly, a smart ofie off his• shoe strings.

The roll call was.' answered by "Whet to do or not to do in case of fire," The answers were splendid and some good .facts were'..brought out. One fact which. every rural resident in the vicinity should; know, is that in case of needed assistance the Sea - forth firemen may respond to 'rural fires, but the truck cannot be brought out of town. However, the Brucefield fire' department and truck will come to any rural fire. Dtstrict farmers Mal. rural residents would 'do well to keep this fact in mind. • Mrs. Elmer Cameron, the secretary, read the minutes and financial report.

Dunning, , superintendent . of Scott Memorial ,Hospital, from Hon, Rus- sell T. Kelley, Minister of Health. The training school scheme was ad- vanced by Mr. Kelley at a meeting' • in Clinton last spring, when Huron hospitals poi ted' out the difficulty of operating without increased aid 'un- less the availability- of nursing staff was increased. It was intended that ' certain of, the training would be giv- en in each of the hospitals and the remainder at a central point by ane instructor furnished by the Depart. went. In his letter Mr, Kelley pointed out that neither Goderich or Clinton had 'succeeded in'securing trainees, while . Seaford], had three' and Wingham four. While the proposal was out as far as this year was concerned, he stressed the., fact that every effort would be made to bring the scheme ihto Operation in 1948. ; R • Announce Upper School Results Edith Blanchard -Eng.

The order of service included: "0 God, Our Help in Ages Past"; prayer by Rev. L'. Morgan; the Lesson, .St. John 15:1-17, read by Rev. Stotesbury. The address was given by Rev: F. H. Paul, which --was. as follows: Four teen years ago m'a.ny of us were pres- ent here when this' cairn was dedicat- ed in memory of those whose na.tnes are engraved.upon the bronze tablet en the west side. We dud: not think then that, in A few years, we should gather together again at the same monument, to honor another ,group of young men -•who had given their 'lives in a second 'Weald. War. It wan' little more than six years after the erection of tlita memorial that a second .and longer and more devastating war had engulfed, its„ And, as their fathers had done 25 t'e'ars before, so the sons and daughters did in the second' great con- flict. They rose in their proud•, youth - Fu: strength and answered the call of oppressed and threatened •peoples, the call of truth and freedom, . the very call of God to defend the right. We kronor these valiant eons of our land, and' prouritly revere their memory and, five acknowledge our debt' to them which we can never repay:. I want to i'e'fer'you to a portion of Holy Scripture, two verses, or parts of two, verses of Joshua 4, viz, 6 and 7. These words were spoken by Jos'b- ua 3,006 years ago, after the:Israel!. ites had crossed the. River Jordam and set foot upon the'i?roinised Land:. The stones (tevelve in number) taken from the river land were, no ,doubt, piled in. Aare form of a pyranilda It may well be that the custom of building mem- orials in, tbe farm, of Cairns, such as this one, has. come down to ies from such an ancient form of monument as Joshua Commanded to be built. But we are concerned with the pur- pose of Joshua's Bairn. It was to stand forever as a memorial. Cbi1- dren would ask the meaning of the' pile of stones, and parents -revere ad- monished dmonished to have' the right answer ready. And isn't this monument standing here for the same reason? Here is a pile of stones. What Is the purpose. its meaning? .It is a memor- ial, a memorial to valor. and unselfish- ness and sacrifice, and'.' le: particular to those men who displayed these great qualities, whose names are writ- ten ritten here, on that day in July, 1933, vfre dedicated this' monument with t'be . bronze tablet containing the names of that gallant company who gave their lives in the First Great War.

It must be the earnest prayer and hope of every 'sincere Christian, in- deed of every person of good will, that, never again shall the scourge and curse of war afflict mankind. We have seen. 'war's awful carnage and des'tructfon, and its devastating con- sequences, 'and, its utter ;'utility. It is true that all life is generated' by sacrifice and death as the seed that is planted, dies. and in dying -pros,. duces life; so we believe that ev'en1 those supreme) sabrilicea of War stall ultimately prove they.
