are of the new army,
If you have eating apples that you

of the house. This exhibit drew a large
audience of spectators. Then, too, the
Red Cross- booth, .presented- a sight
all its own,
Mr. Herbert Neil was present with
his hobby—the antiques. He has 109
articles, some small, others large, such
as the loom at which he sat busying
himself at the trade he learned as a
boy from his father, and answering
the numerous questions of the curious
as he worked away, making a rug mat
using home made rags. This loom is
very old, in fact no one has any record
of its age, and belongs to Mrs. Jack-
lin of Wroxeter. He also had a wash
ing machine, which was necessary to
place in a tub to do its work. Then,
too, was the old stone grinder which
Mr. George Anger was busily display
ing the grinding of wheat. There were
wooden shoes, a wooden shovel, gufts
and more guns, and a bridle that still
has the farmers puzzled as to the
how it goes on. The ladies . were
specially interested in the striped taf

shawl. This being, the wedding dress

LEGION BANQUET
WELL ATTENDED
Splendid Address Given by Col, the
Rev. Sydney Lambert
Armouries Beautifully Decorated For
Event
The capacity pf the armouries was
taxed to accomodate the large numbei'
who attended the Legion banquet on
Friday night. The Women’s Institute
did the catering and deserve great
praise for their work. The decorations
were carried out in a scheme of Old
War ideas with the Legion crest on
a light blue background back of the
head table. They were attractive and
humorous and the Legion are greatly
indebted to Mr. George Allen, a form
er Wingham boy, now an artist in
Chicago, for this wonderful job of
decoration.
The guest speaker, Col. the Rev.
Sydney Lambert, padre of Christie
Street Hospital, Toronto, was intro
duced by W. H. French. They both
enlisted in the last war in Alberta.
During his address, Col. Lambert
said there should be no distinction in
those who should go to war. All Can
adians should be in this thing be they
English, Irish, Scotch, German or Ital
ian. Let Hitler do his worst, we will
win this war. I do not listen to Hit
ler on the radio he said and I am of
the opinion that he should be kept
off the air. Britain stands for what
is right and Hitler is lined -up with
the forces of evil.
We must stop wastage he declared,
as nothing short of a full o-ut effort
will do in this time of crisis. It is a
great privilege to be a private in the
army, he said. The Colonel paid a
great tribute to the men of. the last
war and spoke in glowing terms of the
work- which is carried on by the
Ladies’ Auxiliary to the Legion.
Mr. E. S. Copeland was chairman
and prior to the address the follow
ing program was presented: Toast to
the King; Community singing with
George Northwood as leader; Ad
dress of welcome by Mayor J. Har
ley Crawford; Presentation of flowers

es, president of the Ladies’ Auxiliary
to the Legion; vocal solo, Capt. Rev.
W. A. Beecroft; Violin solo, Mary
King; Introduction of Legion officials
by’Duncan Kennedy, president of the
Legion; Vocal solo, George North
wood. Mrs. W. A. Beecroft was the
pianist for the evening.
An impressive part of the program
was the two minutes of silence ob
served in memory of those who gave
their lives in the"- First War. This
silence was broken with Mrs. Walter
VanWyck reciting "In Flanders
Fields”. A motion of thanks to Col.
Lambert was given by Charles R.
Coultes, and, William G. Hamilton,
vice-president of the Legion. The sing
ing of the National Anthem was the
closing number.
