WORK BEING RUSHED
Work on Exeter’s new community
building is being pushed rapidly.
On Wednesday of last week stakes
were driven- ,to mark out the site of
the new building and since that time
the cement foundation for the north
wall has been put in together with
the cement foundation for a number
of the pillars. The work of exca
vating for the foundation under the
gymnasium and also for the base
ment which will house the heating
system is completed and some of the
cement already poured.
The contractors are N. O. Hipel
& Co.,, of Preston and Mr. William
Beattie, engineer and partner, to
gether with Hon. N. O Hipel, have
been here during the week supervis
ing the work. So far all local la
bour is being employed and will be
employed as far as possible in the
erection of the building.
The building will be located twen
ty feet back from the street and
twenty feet from the western boun
dary, formerly a part .of the Exeter
Agricultural Society grounds oppos
ite the Exeter School. The building
is to be 80 ft. wide and
deep. The front part will
as a gymnasium for the
School, the size being 38 by
There will be two waiting
provided with showers and
and also a gallery for the gym and
the skating rin'k. The ice space for
the skating rink will be 70 by 170 ft
with a five-foot space for spectators
on either side of the ice.
At the time of the Exeter Fall
Fair the building will be used for
the indoor exhibits replacing the
old “'Crystal Palace.” It will also
replace the smaU ticket and secre
tary’s office. The Fair Board will
pay an annual rental for the use of
the building.
The building is to- be principally of
steel and when completed will pre
sent a handsome appearance. The
contract price is $9,880. At a recent
meeting o’f the Board of Education
it wag decided that a yearly grant of
$200 will be made for the use of
the gymnasium. This will be made
up largely from a grant from the
provincial government for such pur
pose. It is expected that the new
building will take about six weeks to
erect and should be ready by Christ

AT THE MEMORIAL
Somewhere in France
Somewhere in France, I cannot tell,
Sleep two boys, I loved them well*
No stone marks the s'piot where they
take their sleep,
No flower decked mound where their
mother may weep.
They fell with the brave in' that
terrible fight
That was waged for justice, truth
and right,
And although their graves we cannot see,
My boys will never ifiorgotten* be.
Somewhere in God’s own house
above,
They wait for me those boys I loved,
And when my wiork on earth Is passed,
I’ll meet again the boys I lost
Somewhere in France.
With these lines, composed Jby
herseilf, Mrs. James G. Gardiner,
mother of two boys who- made .the
supreme sacrifice in the Great War,
deposited the wreath of the Pro
vince of Ontario at the Soldiers'
Memorial in front of the Town Hall
Wednesday following the service in
Trivitt Memorial church. With
comrades lined u-p in front of the
Memorial under the direction o£
Sidney McArthur a short service was
held. <On behalf of the Exeter
Branch of the Legion a wreath was
deposited by Comrade Norman Norry
and on behalf of the council by
Clerk Jos. Senior. The Last Post
and Reveille was sounded by Bugler
Beer. The service was closed with
the band playing the National Aur
them.
Service at Hurondale
Members of the Exeter Branch of
the Canadian Legion gathered at the
Memorial at Hurondale on the morn
ing of Remembrance Day fob a short
service. A goodly number from th'e
community were present. Rev. Mr.
Sinclair, of Hensail, delivered an< ad
dress and a wreath was placed at the
memorial on behalf o’f the Provincial
Government by Mrs. H. Strang and
on behalf of the Legion by Comrade
Rufus Kestle.
Remembrance Day was fittingly
observed in* Exeter, Wednesday, No
vember 11th. The day throughout
was observed as a holiday with all
places- of business closed. In the
morning a service of Remembrance
was held in the Trivitt Memorial
church. The members of the Exeter
Branch of the Canadian Legion
neaded by the Exeter band paraded
to the church. The reeve and coun
cil attended in a body. There was
a splendid attendance of the citizens
which comfortably filled the body ot
the ' church. At 11 o’clock two
minutes silence was observed. With
the Rector, Rev. M. A. Hunt acting
as chairman the service opened with
the singing of “O God Our Help in
Ages Past.” Other hymns used in
the service were “Unto the Hills A-
■iiound,” “O Valiant Hearts” and
“God of our Fathers.” Rev. A.
Page, of James .St. Church read the
Scripture lesson and Rev. D. C. Hill,
of Caven church, read the prayers.
During the offertory Mr. Arthur
Middlemiss sang “They Have not
Died.” Miss K. MadFaul presided
at the organ and a union choir led
the service of song, A printed ser
vice was provided.
Rev. A. E. Elliott, of Main St.
United church delivered a very fine
and appropriate address,
liott expressed the hope that this
Remembrance Day service would not
soon be forgotten. He paid tribute
bo the comrades who will never re
turn, how they suffered and endur
ed and the sacrifices they made and
finally the supieme' sacrifice. He
spoke of those who came back brok
en in body, men who will never walk
any more, men who have lost the
use of their arms or of their eyesight
men who after 20 years are even now
gasping for breath because of the
effects of gas. He referred to the
men broken in mind, who were
shocked in the war and whose nerves
were gone. It seems a long time
since the war drums beat; since the
days that were packed with drama,
tragedy and futility; futility because
men believed they were fighting a
war to- make a better world. Yet it
would be dreadfully disappointing to
think that no good had been accom
plished during those years. We do
not seem to have learned our lessons
in spite of the cataclysm with all its
intense suffering. Nations are de
vising ingenious ways of destruction.
We find international jealousy and
suspicion. On the other hand there
are noble efforts to promote peace.
We o'ught to think peace, work tor
peace and pray for peace.
The speaker said he was not
thinking of our duty in face o>f some
future calamity. He was thinking
of the difficulties men are facing
here and now during this post war
period. There were three words >he
wished to pass on. The first Bro
therhood. We knew what it was in
the old days when men passed, over
the Channel into the arena of war,
when they came to grips with life
and death. He spoke of the men
sharing their .scant supplies one with
the .other. Brotherhood is what the
church pleads for and what the law
of humanity demands. Men need the
warm hand clasp and cheedful word.
The second Courage. Many were the
deeds of bravery at the front. But
since coming back there were hun
dreds crushed in spirit and discour
aged; unable to get suitable em
ployment and we find them selling
trinkets and trying to carry on. It
requires courage not only to make
a living but to- live right, to
when we 'fall.
The third, Faith. We need
not only in God but faith in
Men at the front used to get confused
in their faith toward God and man.
They wondered why things were as
they were. Men may have appeared
rough but down in their hearts they
had faith in God. It concerned not
only the .soldiers but it r concerned
the men and women who lost their
loved ones. We .cannot truly prac
tice brotherhood nor have the high
est moral and spiritual courage un
less we have a real faith in G.od. With
the full assurance that God loves us
and still cares we should be able" to
stand anything. Rev. Mr. Hunt
conducted the closing exercises.
