now minister of a Presbyterian
Church in Guelph, where he
has been since demobilization
in 1946. As padre of theregi-
anent he served with his risen
while in combat, in England,
Italy, Holland, Belgium,
France and Germany.
Recalling the variousartnies
that had fought in World War
II the speaker mentioned the
Gurkhas of Nepal, who served
with the British troops as being
outstanding fighters, and also
spoke of the stamina of theBrir-
ish soldier.
In defining a Canadian sold-
ier, Mr. Smith said he was a
number of things. He was an ,
improviser, who soon learned
to make -do with what he had.
He was a businessman, which
the speaker thought could ac-
count for the fact there are so
many successful businessmen in
the Legion today. He said
there never was a time when
the Canadian soldier did not
know exactly what his shoes,
blanket, etc, , were worth, and
what he could get for them on
the market.
The Canadian soldier was a
churchman. Mr. Smith said
he knew all about the church
parades where men were form-
ed up an hour before service
and were inspected by the var-
ious officers, before the padre
could get tus say, He did know,
however, that soldiers attended
church services of their own tie -
site and did not take religion
lightly.
Added to all his other attri-
butes, the Canadian soldier was
a comrade, There was com-
radeship in barracks. When
soldiers went on leave it was
usually with a comrade and
there was often a comrade to
loan a man money when he
went on leave, Above all,
Canadians were comrades on
the battlefield and the men
knew that if they were wound-
ed they would not be left to die
without some effort from their
fellow soldiers.
Mr. Smith was thanked by
Willis Hall, a wartime mem-
ber of the Perth Regiment.
Others who addressed the
gathering were Rev. C. F. John-
son, rector of St. Paul's, Mur-
ray Gaunt, R, S. Hetherington,
R. E. McKinney, George Cur-
tis who had accompanied the
guest speaker and renewed ac-
quaintances with friends. Jack
Bateson extended greetings from
the district.
Dave Crothers thanked the
Evening Guild of St. Paul's for
catering to the banquet and Mrs.
Herbert Fuller, president, re-
plied. A social evening follow-
ed at the Legion Home.
Cenotaph Service
Continued from Page One
Mayor R. S. Hetherington
voiced his admiration for the
Legion in their efforts and or-
ganization of this special ser-
vice each year. He remarked
on the number of people who
turned out to the cenotaph and
said that he felt it was a time
of re -dedication for individuals,
who realize the futility of war
and their responsibility as citi-
zens to see that hostility, is a-
verted and that names are not
added to those already on our
monuments.
Rev. G. L. Fish offered pray-
er. Murray Gaunt, newly-elect,-
ed
ewly-elect-ed member of the Ontario Legis
lature for Huron, spoke briefly.
Mr. Gaunt said, "We who have
not served tend to take for gran-
ted the sacrifices of those who
died." He said that it is the
task of everyone to foster love,
the first and major element of
peace.
Wreaths were placed by the
Town of Wingham, Township
of Turnberry, Wingham Busi-
ness Association, Public School,
Order of the Eastern Star, High
School Cadet Corps, A. F. &
A. M., Lebannon Chapter, Ma-
;estic Rebekah Lodge, IOOF,

1st Wingham Boy Scout Troop,
Salvation Army, Lions Club,
Kinette Club, Kinsmen Club,
99th Field Battery, L.O.L.,
Province of Ontario, Ladies'
Auxiliary to the Legion. The
veterans then placed their pop-
pies in the Legion wreath and
it was laid at the cenotaph.
The Last Post was sounded
and silence observed in memory
of the fallen. Following Rev-
eille, Rev. C. M. Jardine pro-
nounced the benediction and
the national anthem was played
by the Salvation Army Band.
The parade was re-formed
and the Legion and the Auxil-
iary were led by the pipe band
to the Baptist Church for morn-
ing service. The 99th Battery
attended service at St. Paul's
Church and the Scouts and Cubs
marched to the United Church,
where they attended service in a
body.
In the afternoon the Legion
and Auxiliary, and members of
the cenotaph guard went to Tees
water where a similar service
was held. George Tervit was
parade marshall and Willis Hall
was sergeant -at -arms for the
color party. The Legion Pipe.
Band also tookpart in theparade
and march -past in Teeswater.
This country is making moral
progress in a few respects. For
example, there are not nearly
so many horse thieves and train
robbers as there used to be.
Mrs. R. LeVan
Wins Blankets
The annual Kinette fall tea
was held Wednesday afternoon
in the council chambers. The
president of the Kinette Club,
Mrs, Alan Williams, welcomed
the guests at the door. The tea
table was attractive with tall
yellow candles and a beautiful
arrangement of rust and yellow
mums in a silver rose bowl.
Tea was poured by Mrs. Bill
Hotchkiss, Mrs. Matt Boyd, Mrs.
Jack Isaac, Mrs. Stewart Leed-
ham, Mrs. Dave Burgess and
Mrs. Bruce MacDonald. The
tempting variety of home bak-
ing was quickly sold, as were
the mysterious looking pack-
ages on the touch -and -take
table. The table displaying
home made candy was also very
popular with the ladies attend-
ing the tea.
A new feature this year was
the beautiful selection of dolls
clothes. Mrs. Jim Currie, who
was in charge of this table, re-
ports that it netted the club ap-
proximately $45.00 for service
work. Mrs. Richard LeVan was
the winner of the two white
Kenwood blankets.
The Kinettes are very pleas-
ed with the profits from their
raffle and tea which amounted
to $258.00 and they wish to
thank all the people who bought
raffle tickets and attended the
event.

in case of an emergency, to
have these officets all in one
location in order to co-ordin-

froth, the entire area,
POWER PROBLEM
Matt Boyd, head of special
servicos, pointed out that in
such an emergency electric
ower would have to be chan-
neled only to those places
where it was vitally needed,
such as the hospitals, It is ex-
eeted that the district high
school would be taken over as
an emergency hospital for refu-
ees from the target areas. If
the supply of power from the
Hanover distribution point were
interrupted, the only power in
Wingham would be from the
100 kilowatt generator at the
ospital and the 150 kilowatt
enerator at the Lower Wing -
am plant of the PUC. A
third generator with a capacity
of 45 kilowatts is also avail-
ble, being the one recently
eplaeed at the hospital, Homes
in town and district would sim-
ply have to go without electri-
city until connections with
Hanover could be restored. •
MEDICAL SERVICES
Dr. McKibbon said that the
medical problem would be-
come acute in case of a wide-
spread emergnecy. He point-
ed out that it would be vital to
have a complete registration of
all persons coming into the area
and full knowledge of billeting
arrangements so that the med-
ical people could locate them
when needed. It was also
pointed out that a complete
list would have to be prepared
at once of all persons in this
area with any medical, first
aid or nursing experience. The
general public must be made
aware at once of the need to
include first aid supplies in
their preparations.
The doctor said that allcat-
egories would arrive here, old
persons, expectant mothers,
chronically ill, etc. , and these
persons would have to be look-
ed after, He also stated that
the hospital has a complete di-
saster plan in readiness for such
an emergency.
Mr. MacDonald stressed the
importance of organizing at
least one division of the St.
John Ambulance Corps in Wing -
ham at once, and said that the
Goderich units would be avail-
able to take charge of the
training.
POLICING
The need for an organized
corps of special police wasem-
phasized, and it was suggested
that the officer in charge of
that branch, Chief Jim Miller,
might contact the local Legion
as one source of volunteers for
training.
Jirn Lee, who has been put
in charge of catering, pointed
out that in case of an emer-
gency he would be completely
tied up in his own work as chef
at the hospital. However, he
THiS JUMBLE OF WRECKAGE was all that was left
of a truck owned by Walden Brothers, of Wingham,
when it was involved in a crash with another trans-
port west of London. Driver Jim Morrison, of Wing -
ham, was pinned in the wreckage for two and a halt
hours with a broken leg and arm.
was asked to take charge dur-
ing the planning stages, until a
definite and workable plan for
handling the influx of hundreds
of target area persons is worked
out.
The matter of an adequate
warning system was discussed,
and the feasibility of using the
town bell, or possible the loud
speaker system at the Presby-
terian Church. Final decision
was not reached in this regard,
The warning would be required
only for the first alarm, after
which time all persons would
be expected to keep in touch
by radio. It is expected thata
telephone "fan -out" system will
oe required in the rural areas.
Another meeting will beheld
shortly at which the service
heads will be expected to re-
port on the formation of com-
mittees and -plans for training.
Parents Asked to
Warn Children
Provincial police have ask-
ed this newspaper to warn par-
ents in the district that there
have been several cases re-
cently of children, being mol-
ested by adults in cars.
Parents should make their
children aware of the situation
and have them tell their teach-
ers or parents, and inform the
police if any child is bothered
by adults in cars. The child-
ren should be told to try to ob-
tain the license number of the
car if at all possible and to get
a description of the driver.
Under no condition should child-
ren accept rides either to or
from school offered by unknown
adults.
Women like to look into a
mirror, except when pulling
away from a parking place.
Friday Service
In Memory of
Former Students
Students of Wingham and
District High School held a Re-
membrance Day service on Fri-
day afternoon, which opened
with the singing of, "0 Valiant
Hearts", with George Conn at
the organ. The Lord's Prayer
was repeated and Philip Adams
read Scripture.
The girls' ensemble of Grade
X sang "Let's Pray for Peace"
and Peter - John Pace read a
message on remembrance.
Remembrance sentences were
given by Cameron Robinson,
Beth Merrick and Anne Cardiff.
Julia Thornton sang a solo, "In
Flanders' Fields",
J. W. Pattison of the Royal
Canadian Legion addressed the
students and read the names of
former high school pupils who
had given their lives in service
of their country.
The Last Post, silence and
reveille were followed by the
recessional with a mass choir.
"Land of Our Birth" was sung
and the national anthem brought
an impressive service to a close.
