WAR. VETERANS' DAY
August Lith, 1919, will be a Red
Letter Day in the history of Sea -
forth, In years to come people will
decide the date of the birth of child-
ren and other similar events in their
lives by SaYing, "It happened so
. many years before or after the War
Veterans: Day." The celebration be-
gan in the morning at 10 o'clock,
when Zurich and Seaforth baseball
teams lined up behind the Kitties'
Brass Band, from Clinton, and fol-
lowed by the crowd, went to the
Agricultural Park for the baseball
match. ---In the first innings Zurich
got away with 7 runs, which gave the
game a one-sided look. It did not
indicate the play, however, as Sea'
forth for the remainder of the game,
more than held their own. They
were not, however, able to overcome
their handicap of the first innings.
The Zurich boys are a fine aggreg-
ation of which that -town should be
very proud. They play a good game
and are gentlemen even in winning.
They can always come on a welcome
to Seaforth.
The afternoon program started with
the parade front the public school
headed by the Kiltie Band of Clinton,
followed by a memorial float to the
comrades sleeping among the poppies
in France and Belgium. which was
greeted all along the line with revel, her ryf prominent ins':. it must he
