Cotton of the Canadian Legion also placed a wreath of popples in mernory of the tallen comrades. It was an inspiring mxoment as the huge crowd and the yarlous sections of the procession stood bareheaded as Sergeaut Bor- rowdale of Oshawa sounded the last post and the revielle. The proces- sion then moved on to the cemetery, the Legion and Fife & Drum Bands playing alternately. At the cernetery hundreds of cars were parked and a huge crowd gath- ered at the gates for the formal op- ening. Mayor Elilott received the gates on bchalf of the town at the hands of Major A. H.

The procession then mnoved on to the platforln that had been erected by the Chamiber of Commerce under the shade of pine trees in the centre of the cemnetery. It was a beautiful spot to hold a dedication and decor- ation cerernoly, with the sweet scent o! myriad ffowers filhng the air and a vast crowd o! people present to do bornage to their, beloved dead. The service that f ollowed was inspirig in its simplicity and appears in de- tail on page 9.' Whlle the council, ministers, and repreSentativeS of lodges and societies took their places on the platforln the band played softly "Nearer My God to Thee." Rev. c. R. Spencer opened the ser- vice by reading the responses with the people answeriflg and taking a 1f ull part in the service. Ai ter the s.ngifl1o -0OGod our Help inAges Past," Rev. W. J. Todd took the sec- ond part of this service. Immediate- ly at the close of the dedication ser- vice the DeCoration Day service was held with Rev. E. F. Armstrong, Rev. A. S. Kerr, Capt. L. Bursey and Rev. Geo. Mason taking the various Parts. A vast Choir sang the hymn -For- ever with the Lord" previous to the blesszn and the service closed with the National Anthern. The decoration of graves then pro- ceeded. The cemnetery, not smnce the decoration day ceremoflies were dis- carded rnany years ago, bas looked so attractive, and special credit is due the caretaker, Jos. H-ighfield. The Canadian Liegion under Pres- ident Cotton and with Padre C. R. Spencer officiating made a round of the cemetery decoratiflg graves of their f allen comirades. It was pa- thetic in more than one instance to see a neglected spot under which lay the mortal remains o! one who had gone forth in the dark days of the war to serve bis God and country and now lay almost f orgotten with- out a stone or mark to identif y his last resting place. Each of these graves was decorated witb the Union Jack under whicb these heroes !ought for liberty and peace, a leg- ion badge and a bunch o! Flanders poppies made by their comrades who through war service are in sorne way disabled and unable to earn a living in the ordinary manner. The g- aves so decorated were: A. Crackne>, E. Wrerm, C. L. Spry, C. H. Gatcheil, D. Drew, E. Almond, G. King, A. Sirnnick, L. Laugher, L. J. Goodwifl, R. Davies, J. Davies. A. Abernethy, A. J. Moore, W. C.I King, V. R Oliver, W. C. Nicholson, E. Stonebridge, L. Saunders, J. W. Edmond, W. J. McMurtry, R. L. Mc- Murtry, A. J. Fothergill, E. C. Lut- treil, E. C. Southey, W. H. NichoUls, W. A. Raynes. Few graves xËemnaied uncovered by fiowers and none o! the dead .went unhonored at the cerernonies -wbich were considered a great suc- cess. Reverence and respect for the departed was shown in every part of the programi, in the procession, the cenotapb ceremony and at the services in the cemetery. Neyer had the cemetery looked more beautiful and neyer had such large crowds gathered there to do honor to those wbo have closed this transitory lii e and passed on to their final reward. The Fire Brigade under Fire Chie! George Lyle presented an exception- ally smart appearance in their blue uni! orrns. The members o! the bri- gade decorated the graves o! depart- ed members with wreaths. The graves decorated included former Chief s Wrn. Edger, George Downey, George Haines and Thos. Hoar, and Engincer Thos. Tapson. One of the big fleatures o! the day was the splendid manner in which the police controlled the heavy traf- f ic without ever impeding the pro- gress of the parade or the general highway trafmc. Chief Sydney yen- ton, Constable Walter Hall, and Traffic Officers J. H. Hincbliff e and Douglas Wilson had complete con- trol o! the trafflc and are to be high- ly commended for their splendid work. Up town the procession pro- ceeded without interfering with reg- ular traffic and at the cernetery an ®rderly parking system directed by the police prevented any hitch iu arrangements there. The program as rnapped out by the commlttee Provided for only a very brie! stop at the gates so that the highway would be kept clear.
