Perhaps it was the words of “O God Our Help in Ages Past” that stirred the hearts of those who sang so lustily. Or perhaps it was just the knowledge that this was a ser- vice of Remembrance that was being held come hell or high water â€" and no god of rain nor thunder could ever wash out a word of it. The Remembrance service was therefore held in Legion Court. after five minutes notice had been received by members who are normally respon- sible for making preparations to welcome 500 'citizens in five minutes. All vestige of the pre- vious evening's “375 Clowns and Dolls". rapidly disappeared from the stage to make room for the visiting dignitaries; tables were stacked to allow space for the Richmond Hill High School Band and every available chair in the establish- ment was utilized to aceommo- date the many who were in atâ€" tendance. After some delay, the service was conducted with dig- nity and reverence, and adhered as closely as possible to the pore-arranged schedule. greater will he the deluge.

One reason given was that the visiting squadron of air cadets had not been advised of locally prevail- ing standards of parade weather and were subsequently without life-jackets.
