EXETER, ONTARIO, THURSDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 10th, 1942
Our stock of ladies’ misses’ and girls^ fall and winter coats is about complete. Owing
to the shortage of materials we have taken early delivery and would strongly advise
early purchase of coats, as it will be very difficult to repeat on any lines later. We
have an exceptionally large stock to choose from in small, regular, half and extra
large sizes. The materials are of good quality English tweeds, boucles etc. Many
have luxurious fur collars of Persian Iamb, fox, oppossum, Genet etc.
We are placing on sale this week several dozen men’s fine broadcloth shirts—fused
collars attached, good patterns, also plain white. These are nearly all brand new
stock including a few odd lines of higher priced shirts. Sizes 14% to 17—to sell in a
hurry
at $1.39 each or 2 $2.75

MANY TURNED AWAY FROM
SUNDAY MORNING SERVICE
The anniversary of the Trivitt' •
Memorial church, at which the hon
or roll was unveiled, combined with
a service of prayer and dedication,
attracted a crowd, on Sunday morn
ing that filled the church and many
persons were unable to gain ad
mittance. z
Crowd of Townspeople Watch Parade
To Trivitt Memorial Church
Assembling at the pillars south of
Exeter, the Exeter band headed a
proc.ession that marched up the
Main street to the church. Follow
ing the band were members of the
Canadian Legion, the First Hussars,
and the Middlesex-Hurons. Then came
the trumpet band of almost forty
members from No. _9 S.F.T.S. at
Centralia. The band,,, comprising-
both men and women, looked
smart in their' uniforms of blue
with white belts. Following the
band were men of_,.the-^Air Force
with a detac.hmeirrfrom the Women’s
Divisio.ii-'in, uniform next in line.
Then" came the Wolf Cubs and the parade was completed at the church
by members of the executive of the
Red Cross, the outside units being
well represented. The Main street
was well lined with spectators.
An augmented choir filled the
chancel and during the service Mr.
Kenneth Johns sang a solo.
The honor roll, which contained
the names of the members of the
church on active service, was un
veiled by Squadron Leader Rev. F.
F. Crankshaw, padre of No. 9 S.T\
T.S.fwlio was the special speaker for
the day. The names on the honor
roll were read by President R. E.
Pooley, of the Canadian Legion.
The scroll was the work of Mr. G,
Koch.
For his sermon Mr. Crankshaw
took for his text Ephesians 6:10,
•‘‘Finally my brethren be strong in
the Lord and in the power of His
might.” He said, “Today we are
gathered here to make our request
known to God: to ask those things
which we need, to give thanks for
those things which He has already
given us, and to dedicate ourselves*
to the task which lies before us.
We are at the beginning of the fourth
year of the war. On September 3,
1939, Great Britain declared war
on Gerniany; on the 10th of Sep*
tember, the Dominion of Canada
declared war. This Sunday, the
6th, has been chosen as being half
way between those dates, as a suit
able date for all Of us to join togeth
er and come before ,the face of
God. We come before the face of
God, We say it a little glibly, and
without much idea about what we
mean when we say it. ,
If you were to ask an artist what
is the most difficult thing to paint,
he would tell you that it is the hu
man face. The features are the
same, but the expression Changes so
rapidly that it is always difficult
to catch one steady expression in
order that it may be transferred to
canvas.

The United church parsonage,

arranged in French -Dubonnet style
and she carried a sheaf of white
gladioli. The bride’s only orna
ment was a pearl necklace, the gift
of the bridegroom. Mrs. Earl C.
