Richmond Hill Honors Memory (ll The Fallen As the church bells of Britain rang out to mark the allied victories last Sunday, an impressive Rememâ€" brance Day service was held in Rich- mond Hill, and the community paid solemn tribute to those who gave their lives in the War 1914â€"18 and in this second Great War. The service sponsored annually by Richmond Hill municipal council in co-operation with the York County Veterans As- sociation was attended by a large number of Veterans and citizens of Richmond Hill and surrounding dis- trict. Headed by the North Toronto Sal- vation Army band the local veterans paraded along with visiting veterans from many parts of York County. In the parade too were the local Boy Scouts and the troop from the L.T.B. & 0. Home. The thinning ranks of the veterans was testimony to the stern times in which we live. The ranks have been thinned by the grim reaper, and by the enlistment of many of the veterans in the various branches of the service in this war. Reeve Thomas H. Trench presided at the ceremony which opened with the playing of the “Dead March in Saul" by the band, dedicated in honor of the memory of those who have paid the supreme sacrifice in this war. The laying of the wreaths on the memorial was an impressiVe part of the ceremony. Following the singing Of “O God Our Help in Ages Past" and a scrip- ture leading and prayer by Rev. C. B. Brethen of Richmond Hill United Church, an inspiring address was de- livered by Rev. W. F. Wrixon, Chap- lain of the Vaughan and Richmond Hill ,Veterans and Rector of St. Mary"; Anglican Church. The last post was sounded by four smartly uniformed cadets from De La Salle College, after which the ceremony concluded with the National Anthem and the parade reformed and the salute was taken by Capt. J. D. Mc- Nish, Toronto police magistrate. Col. the Hon. W. P. Mulock, Postmaster General and President of the York County Veterans who has been an annual attendant at these services services was unable to be present due to illness. In iesponse to many requests and for the benefit of the many who were unable to attend Sunday’s services we publish a verbatim report of the address of the afternoon. Speaking to the Remembrance Day gathering Rev. W. F. Wrixon said: Once again it is our solemn duty to revorently remember that great company of men who served and died in the first World War, and we couple with their names the names of those who have served and died in this present struggle. Time was when the .eleventh day of November was known as Armis- tice Day. But inasmuch as many have come to regard that Armistice as premature, and that the job had not been finished, we now dedicate the day to the memory of thOSe who did their best, and gave their all in a gallant attempt to finish the job they had begun. As we pause today, memory comes into play, and what a picture it brings before us. A picture of that great company of thousands of Can- ada’s finest, led by the great Sir Arthur Currie, backed by all the re- sources Of a. great country, inspired by brave mothers, sisters, wives and sweethearts, cheered by the great Civilian Auxiliary Forces such as the Red Cross. and held aloft by the prayers of the churches. Into the thick of it they went, becoming the very spearâ€"head of most of the im- portant battles. Of that great Army of Canadians. over 66.000 paid the supreme sacri- fice, and left their broken bodies in the soil on which they had fought. and for which they had fought. But they did not perish; for as long as (Continued on Page 8) A. Charity". ER 19th, 19-12. ADVERTISERS INVITE YOUR BUSINESS DEAL WHERE ARE INVITED. YOU IIUdson 5437 Yonge St. at Glenforest Rd.

She is helped in her struggles by Midge and Tony (Martha Hambly and Marian Smith) while the nurse and the doc- tor (Violet Paris and Edith Burnett) add much to the general tangle.
