'gglRemembrance Message Specual Notice "Arthur Grey was a young pilot officer and the closest friend I ever had. Even in the stress of wartime, his training took over two years and when it was completed he and I met for the first time in that two years on a bleak and chilly day on the platform of a lonely rail- way station in Lincolnshire. We spent two hours together be- fore we had to go to our separ- ate stations and I couldn't tell you now what we talked about. We had been such good friends and for so long that there was not much need to talk and we walked along a country lane in companionable silence for the most part. His train left before mine and as we shook hands our eyes dwelt on each other. just a little longer than is usual with young men, both of us sharing the unvoiced thought “You all know Arthur Grey.

Some are a little bowed by the years. but they carry themselves a little more erect and their step he- comes more elastic for a brief moment on this day, as their thoughts wing back over the years. ‘ “Others. such as myself. re- member different faces and different battles, a quarter of a century later. l For the past 19 years.

(Mayor Thomas Broadhnrst caught the spirit of Re- membrance Day so aptly in his opening remarks at Sunday's Service of Remembrance that we are reproducing his speech in its entirety below. It is our hope that all citizens will read it and in so doing my trihute to all those gallant souls who paid the supreme sacrifice in two world wars. it is also our sincere hope that these words will prompt more of our citizens to “set aside a few moments devoted to the recollection of dear and once familiar faces which were riven from us by two brutal and bloody conflicts." â€"Editor) SET IT‘ It is anticipated it will take two weeks to clear the project through the Ontario Depart- ment of Highways and the suc- cessful tenderers have contract- ed to have the work finished within six weeks of the starting‘ time. with the exception of the repaving. Since the winter season will be well under way by the time the sewer is laid repaving operations will have to wait until spring. Reeve James Haggart stated. “It is well that we should feel anew the grief and pain that we felt that day, that we should recollect afresh the in- congruity of the surroundings in which we heard the dreadful news. The failure of the years to erase that sorrow should be apparent in our faces and in our hearts.
