turn to parade back again to the Centennial School Impressive assembly Those in attendance tried to keep pace with the marchers but it was too cold to walk slowly too windy to move fast and for some the church service had already begun when they reached the auditorium The assemblage itself was an impressive one Approximately children and adults were on hand to unite in common prayer and dedication commemorating those who had given their lives In past but faithfully praying that they were the last The service which was conducted by Don Sinclair was an ecumenical one In which all four and area congregations participated and the clergy from each of the village churches took part with the exception of Rev Ken Cordwell of the St John Church who had Ernie representing him in his absence Rev Don Sinclair for the and Presbyterian Churches Rev Ralph Williams for the Rock wood and Stone United taking the place of Father Elliott who presently on leave of absence for the Rockwood and Oustlc Scared Heart congregation was Rev Harold Bedford who gave the sermon Put aside differences Rev Sinclair in his opening salutation said that he was delighted at the response of those people attending the service It was one day in the year when we can put aside our differences which keep us apart and Join together He said he was grateful for the participation of the Choir whkh added pleasure to the eye car and soul and then Mr Sinclair his sympathy to the family of Rockwood referring to the lovely flowers on the platform as ones placed In memorlam of their recent bereavement Mr Sinclair then extended words of welcome to father Bedford who took over the service Canadians remembered Bedford in talking to the congregation presented account of the of Canadian soldiers throughout both world wars saying that in many countries where they had fought they had been remembered for their courage and abilities to fight together with strength and determination Referring to the Jewish salutation Shalom which means many things in the Hebrew tongue and Is the of everything good he said that with all the peace for which Canadians have fought too much hatred still exists in the world today and regardless of the approximate count of some million dead as the results of the last two wars 112 of which were Canadians soldiers no Shalom has been reached and in depicting the picture of the Canadian part In the two wars father Bedford said that there several young adults and young people who had no conception of the horrors faced or the valiance of those who had fought to give them whatever peace they had today but that It was in vain because Shalom which means Hello goodbye God be with you and Peace over all the World has not really been found We won the War said Father Bedford but have yet to win the pence Choral group under the leodcrshlp of Mrs Roberta Hoy was tremendous as rows of youthful songsters all arrayed in poppy red tunics and boys wearing ties sang beautifully
