Donald Graham of the R. A. F. “The tragedy of the twentieth century- is the loss of so many of the finest of our young men who started out on life with high ideals, only to find that there were men and influences in the world who would use the good things of the earth for evil purposes,” said Flightâ€" Lieutenan-t Hedley, RIC-A.F. Chap- lain at the memorial service held in Richmond Hill United Church Sun- dlay afternoon for Sergeant-Gunner “Don!” Graham. “Don” Graham is Richmond Hill’s first casualty of the war, and Sunday the community expressed its tribute to his heroic sacrifice and sympathy for the be-/ rea-ved‘ family. It was last Wednesday the tele- gram was received tdllfilg the sad news, and Friday a second oable ar- rived advising that “Don’s” funeral would be held Saturday at 12.30 British Standard Time, and that he would be buried in the Churchyard, at Ford in Sussex. The Memorial Service was then arranged for Sun- dlay afternoon, to coincide as nearly as possible with the service in Brit- ain. The United Church was filled to capacity for the service and was attended by a group of R.C.A.F. men from I‘oronto. The local Veterans and. the Trumpet band of which Don was once a member attended in a body. The impressive service was in charge of Rev. C. B. Brethen, Mir.- ister of the Church, and the sermon was delivered! by Lieut. Hadley. Capt. John Wilson and Airrcraftsmen Harry Sayers, “Mac” Cooper and Norman Mabley of the R.C.A.F. acted as ulshers. Rev. Brethen who recently assum- ed his work as Minister here, said as practically a stranger in the com- munity be was impressed by the feeling of sorrow which permeated the entire district as a. result of ti e sad ne-WS contained in Wednesday’s telegram. Visiting at the Graham home, reading Don’s letters, talking to his friends he had caught at least something of the radiant sunshine of Don’s personality and he under- stood why the passing of such a fin-c example of young Canadian manhood meant so much to this community. He referred to Don's pleasing per- sonality, his prowess on the athletic field as a High School student, as a member of Trail Rangers and Tuxis groups, as a cheerful lead-er at summer camps. In 1988, long be- fore the outbreak of hostilities he went overseas, probably said MI‘. Brethen, inspired by some intuition that the call of duty for him lay in the service there, and that the time was coming when he could render service to_ his country. Trained and ready at the outbreak of war he had with courage, skill and daring taken a prominent part in the air defence of Britain, in the very critical days of the past summer. To the mem- bers of Don’s family he extend-ed the most sincere sympathy of the com- munity. “There are ideals in life worth fighting for. and worth dying for.” said Lieut Hedley of the R.C.A.F.. “and we of the Air Force are hon- ored to have this opportunity of pay- ing tribute to our brother, who has given his life for his country.” The speaker whose duty it is to bring comfort and consolation to many of those who suffer the loss of loved ones in the war said that it was the highest and finest thing in life Vtv; give one’s life for others. It was high and noble and not in vain as long as we don"t break faith with those who die. Their sacrifice chal- lenges us to go on and build the finer and better world for which they make the supreme sacrifice. He quoted the great Cecil Rhodes who on his deathbed said, “So much to doâ€"so little done.’ He commended these words to the people of Cant- ada today. So much we could do in the way of helping the boys in the Navy, the Army and the Air Force, and we are doing so little in the way of real sacrifice. We go on thoughtlessly he said wasting our time and spending our means on our- selves. Men dlown through the ages in all walks of life and hum-an en deavour had thought ideals and causes worth giving their lives for, and today brave men are doing it to preserve our way of life, our freedom to live our individual lives our freed-om to worship God as we choose. The service opened with the sing- ing of the Hymn, “Unto the Hills Around do I Lift Up My Longing Eyes”, followed by a scripture read- ing by Lieut. Hedley, the hymn “My Faith Looks Up to Thee”, prayer by Rev. Brethen, the sermon by thz Air Force Chaplain, a period of silent prayer and the clear heart-touching notes of the Last Post sounded by a member of the R.'C.A.F. The Na- tional Anthem brought to a close the impressive service.
