M. Cotton, and the Executive of the local Brancb of the Canadian Legion are already work- ing on plans for the celebration and observance of Remembrance Day on November llth. While plans have plot reached a stage of certainty it is expected that they will be of mucli the same nature as last year wbhen the most impressive service since the war was staged at the Cenotapli before a gatherlng of more than 1500 people. It is ex- pected also that the Town Council wiil co-operate as in past years. The tentative program for the day provides for the service to, com- mence at il a. m. wben two min- utes of silence will be observed to perpetuate the memories of those wbose mortal remains rest in the poppy strewn cemeteries of France and Flanders. The. period of sil- ence wiil be followed by the repeat- ing of the Lord's Frayer in unison and the readlng by some prominent offciai of the nanies on the Ceno- taph and of others who, gve their ives ln that great struggle. Opportunity wlll then be given for relatives and organizations ta, place flowers at the base of the monu- ment, and after the soundjng of the Last Post and Reveille a short ser- vice in whicb members of the Min- Isterial Association wil take part wiil foilow. It is hoped that the beautiful rendition by a massed choir under Mr. Francis Sutton, Mus. Bac., o! "O Vailant Hearts", will be repeated this year. This proved ta be most impressive last year and many re- quests were reoeived at that tume for its repetition. The address last year was given by Major Rev. c. R.
