A. M ST.CE DAY'
SPICE 'OBSERVED
Sunday last marked the tenth anni,
versary of the signing of the armis-
tice that brought . the great World
War to a victorious close to• the Al-
lied troops.. Throughout the Empire
the occasion received that due 'obser-
vance •its importance merited
and'.be-
cause
of the anniversary thisy ear'f'all-
ing on a Sabbath, it occasioned a' dee-
per and more' solemn recognition.
People in every part of the empire
gathered earlier ,in their respective
places of worship, and ,for two min-
utes at eleven o'clock stood with bow-
ed heads, in humble silence in mem-
ory of the dead, and in. Thanksgiving
for the blessings 'and 'liberties their
sacrifice made .possible. In the local
churches the pastors fittingly referred
to the glorious ending of the conflict,
the heroic part played by the youth
of the country in accomplishing this,
even at a heavy cost.
In the evening a number: of the Vet-
erans under command of Major H. C.
MacLean, M.C., marched to St, Paul's
church, and listened to an address by
a comrade of the trenches, Rev. Mr.
Lewin of Brussels. The speaker from
old testament lessons showed how
that the ancient Israelites were famed
for physical endurance and valor, as
well as for mental and' moral stamina
in their battles, And from this he
drew 'a graphic picture of the ethics
and general standard of Canadian boys
in the trenches. Some may not have
realized what signing up would cost—
their. lives—but all were filled with a
holy desire to seeour country saved,
the breaker of pledged words and cov-
enants punished; and peace, righteous-
ness and permanent peace triumph.
"The Dead March in Saul" was
played by the organist and the "Last
Post" was sounded by A. D. Hings-
ton. Singing of the National Anth-
em closed the •service..
Following the church service there
was a parade to the war monument,
where floral decorations were placed
by' the veterans and by different or-
ganizations, including the Municipal
Council. The church altar had also
been decorated with the 'Union Jack
and wreath having the, lettering "Lest
We Forget."
WALKER STORES' Ltd. :.
INCREASE SPACE
Walker Stores Limited Wingham,
has found it necessary to, increase
their floor space, to take, cave • of their
expanding business, and: to, properly
display many new lines • particularly
in demand at this season. So the
basement has been turned from a
storage room to a well lighted, com-
fortably heated, and well arranged de-
partment of its own, with shelving on
four sides and spacious tables on the
floors. The walls and' ceiling are in
a two-tone buff color, which makes
the place particularly bright and in-
viting. Mr. Barr, the manager, states
that for the present the new addition
will largely feature Xmas toys and
novelties, a department in which the
store was very much congested and
hampered before..

Dr. Goldwin Howland addressed the
meeting on the subject of Occupat-
ional Theraphy, and told of the good
work being done and the great stride
being made by this association, of
the help given nervous cases, blind,
crippled etc., he was proud ' of the
fact that this was the third consecu-
tive meeting of the Women's Hos``
pital Auxiliary he had been asked to
address. Through the efforts of this
association the blind were given work
they could perform—leather and brass
work were taught also pottery and
basket weaving, jewelry and bead
work or whatever was suitable to the
affliction of the patients.
The guests were served with lunch
after the closing of the morning ses-
sion, in the large dining room of
the General Hospital, when Mrs. Hen-
ry Aitken of Becton, was the speaker
of the occasion, She spoke of the
crying need for pre -natal clinics, in
this country, she compared the work
along this line in European countries
with Canada, she quoted Denmark as
being atrue Democracy, making the
U. S. and English Dominion look like
absolute monarchies.
Women in this country are rever-
enced and men feel they have to be
protected and spoiled and so there
can he no intellectual equality. 'No'
mother, said Mrs, Aitken,, should be
an object of charity from any organi-
zation. Proper care shotild be avail-
able for all just .as education, good
roads and other public services are
available.
The speaker believed that much re-
sponsibility for modern crime and de-
liiigttirrcy was clue to unfavorable con-
ditions which surrotinded children in
their early years.
Speaking of Women's organizations
Mrs, , Aitken said there was need for
a change. Too much time was sps:nt
now in speeches .of; welcome, pre-
septation of flowers to one another
and so there was little constructive

ty girls the next month; these child-
ren were recovering from such dis-
eases as heart -disease, paralysis and
bone diseases•. About forty years ago
the Duffield Flower mission was or-
ganized by 1VIrs. Duffield, On ,One day
each week this mission furnished
and educatonal centre.
He spoke of attending school in
Hamilton along with Dr. Langrill,
Supt. of the Hospital,
He said he read the Bible but nev-
er got past memorizing the 1st chap-
ter of Genesis.
"You will remember," he said, "that
God made the world, He worked for
six days then He looked at His work
and He said "It is good." 'Then He
made man, out of the dust and slime
of the earth He made him. He brea-
thed the breath of life into his nos-
trils and He said "It is good." and
rested. This is the only place in the
Bible said lie where God said," It is
good" and where he rested. He
next took from man the crook-
edest bone in his bdy, his rib,
but mind you the closest to
his heart, and He formed woman, and
neither God nor man' has rested ever
since." To this he attributed the suc-
cess of man, they were not allowed
to rest and therefore arose to greater
heights of achievement.
He believed the great work done
by doctors and Hospitals' to -day was
caused by the restlessness on the
part of women who lived up to that
belief that.—"I am my brother's keep-
er".
Col. Hatch, chairman of the Gene-
ral Hospital Board, was the next
speaker. He didn't altogether credit
Dr. Bell's Bible story. He said he
knew that Dr. Bell had spent some
years in Kingston, but never knew
just what for, He said he had given
the Dr. an outline of what his speech
was to ;be at this meeting, only to'
have him, make use of every word,
of it in his own speech.
He eulogized woman for their great
work in connection with hospitals and
spoke of one hospital he had been
connected with in Montreal where the
ladies all wore aprons at their Auxil-
iary meetings to show thattheir pur-
pose was work and riot social climb-
ing, He closed with words of wel-
come to the delegates and hoped we
would always say a good word for
the Hospital,
Dr, W. J. Langrili, sept. of H.
G. H. expressed great surprise at
Dr, Bell's knowledge ofP
: scripture. He
S
welcomed the ladies and told them
em
to have a good time socially and not
take convention duties too seriously.
He said the Hamilton Auxiliary was
seven years old and at first just made
surgical dressings, now all dressings
etc. are made by Hospital Aid, they
have instituted a envalescent camp
.for children where for one month
t erity boys are Gated for and twen-
