LAMBERT AT GODERICH Over nine lundred comrades and ex -service men joined in the Veter- ans' parade and drumhead service held on old home week Sunday at Goderich.

Eight members of the .Lon- don :branch of. the 'Ontario 'Amtputa- bans Association formed an 'escort for Captain Lambert on the parade. Veterans from all ,parts o 1 Huron Comity and from the districts of 'Kin- cardine and 'Listowel within the zone, mustered at Victoria Park, 'Goderich, and marched to Harbour Park, where a vast assemblage had gathered Lor the drumhead service. Capt. Lambert paid special tribute to the wearers of the blue .and white beret, men of the British navy, There were no braver men and women, 'he declared, than those who died on the high seas, or than those who served there. 'We can never forget the thou- sands upon thousands of them who are down in !Davy 'Jones locker. Here he extended greetings from Christie Street Hospital patients. 'Thank (God the Union Jack is the standard flag of (Goderich this old hone week. it might easily have been something else!" Turning then to the subject of 'his memorial address, "The Aftermath," Captain Lambert referred to the days of the war and eulogized the spirit of the women who worked so nobly. He told of an editorial in a Toronto evening paper which told of the pen- ile of Goclerich being scared when the Fenians came, which forced them. to action, sometimes ridiculous. "Vt''hen people are scared] they do things. 'During the war linen and women went the limit for the ;sake of the callee•. Tics forgot their cliff fer'sres and - ,indeed together for the common cause. "Don't you think if we did that in Canada we would. make it the 'biggest country in 'the world?" asked 'the sneaker. Those for whom the war is not yet over, who have never had -a day free " from suffering, have ;given a new spirit to us—a spirit t0 overcome handicaps, which is needed in this land. Never forget those who would worship Isere if not handicapped. "I ask you to join with me in dis- carding your differences and 'bring in a day of peace. Maintain the spirit of brotherhood with all lands that the flame of freedom may 'blaze - from nation to nation. I challenge ' you to live for the cause of righteous- ness and peace—and "'May God ;bless' you all,"., concluded the chaplain. ' 'Follotsing the singing of "Abide - With Mel", the oath of allegiance was repeated and the National Anthem sung. Major the Rev. Canon Appieyard of Seaforth, moved a vote of thanks to 'Capt. Lambert, which wes sec- onded' by Major the Rev. IDs. Barn- ett of Goderich, and the ;benediction was pronounced by Rev. D. J. Lane.
