Gibson) On Friday evening, Nov. 8th, the men from Newcastle who served in the armed forces during the Second' Great War were guests at an Inter Church andi Commun- ity Banquet. The banquet was followed by a.reception, entertain- ment andi presentation under aus- pices of Newcastle Basebail Club. The banquet, served as an ap- propriate part of a final welcom- ing gesture to the men who served in the armed forces, including both those who went from New- castle and those who have since their return taken up residence in the village. About 80 men sat down at the long tables which presented a festive appearance with the decorations carried out in white 'mums, rosy~ cheeked ap- ples and grapes. The dinner, a most delicious and sumptuous one, consisteci of tomato juice, baked Virginia ham, scalloped potatoes, peas, carrots, rolîs, celery, pickles, apple pie, ice cream and coff ee. Guests at the headi table were Rev. W. W. Patterson, Rev. Doug- las Dewdney, Reeve George Wal- ton, ex-Reeve Cecil Carveth; Earl Walton, Cecil F. Cannon, Herbert Hancock, James A. Smith, George Crowther, Kari Weyrich, Keith Aiken, John Cotter. Rev. Patterson, in a well deliv- eredi address, conveyed to the men greetings and welcome from the three churches and niembers of the community. John Cotter replied on behaîf of the returned men and conveyed to the corn- mittee the sincere thanks and deep appreciation for the banquet tendered them. Toast to the King was proposed by Rev. Dewdney ahd duly hon- ored. Mrs. Garnet Porter, convener of the general comrnittee, whose untiring efforts were responsible for wonderful success of the ban- quet, graciously received the th'anks of the gathering on behalf of the members of her comrnittee, which consisted of Mrs. Keith Ai- :ken, Mrs. George Crowther; Mrs. iJarnie Wright, Mrs. Ross Dieken- Sson, Mrs. George Walton, Mrs. ,Sam Cowan, Mrs'. Garnet Rick- !ard, Mrs. Alfred Garrod, Mrs. Fred Thomas, Mrs. Clarençe Tur- ner. An extra treat and one greatly enjoyed was the piano accordior selections of Mr. J. H. Fraser of Toronto who recently returned from serving with the R.C.A.F. overseas and who is now a guesi with Rev. Patterson. Mr. Fraser also played for the sing song. Padre Rev. Father Coffey, unable to attend the banquet, sent his regrets. At the conclusion of the ban- quet, Earl Walton, honorary pre- sident of the Newcastle Basebail Club, invited the men to the au- ditorium upstairs where they were guests of Newcastle Basebail Club for the entertainment, presenta- tion and dance. This part of thE evening was open to the public and the auditorium was filled. ThE club had reserved the east part oi the hall for the guests of honor heir families and relatives. Reeve George Walton as chair- n an assured the men that New. cz stie Basebaîl Club and the com. m unity as a whole considered f ait. honor and privilege to be ac. co rded the opportunity to pa3 hîrnor to those men who had s( gallantly guarded our shores her( and abroad. He said the member of the Basebaîl Club had planne( the evening for a long time and i Newcastle. One chap kept trat o! his cigarettes from the clh and he received 11,500. The mno ey to carry on this project w raised by the indefatigabie mer bers by means of dances, basebi tournaments, etc. The membe also presented each man who r turned from overseas with handsome wrist watch.

He hoped that mem- bers of the community would put shouider to shoulder to make it a better place to live, for these men and their familles and show thern that their victory was not in vain. At the'conciusion of his very ex- cellent address of welcome Reeve Walton asked the gathering to stand and observe two minutesý silence in memory of those men from. our cornmunity who had paid the supreme sacrifice. As the audience rose and respectful- iy bowed their heads in silent tri- bute, the pianist softly played L"Abide With Me." A splendid programn was then given by Russ Creighton's Var- iety Entertainers. t Ex-Reeve Cecil Carveth, secre- )tary-treasurer of the Newcastle 1Basebaîl Club, introduced the guest speaker, Cecil F. Cannon, Superintendent of Elementary Ed- ucation for the Province o! On- tario and also a former principal of Newcastle Public School. Mr. Cannon is well known as a very 1fluent and eloquent speaker. He tis a humanitarian at heart with a great vision and with concrete ob- ijectives. His speeîh was a most interesting one and dealt a great -deal with the tolerance and un- aderstanding that is necessary to imeet the needs of a changing sworld. r Mr. Cannon touched on the fact 1that it was a quarter o! a century -since he first came to Newcastle 1to assume the principalsýhip o! the tpublic school. His first impression when he arrived was that it was 1one of the most beautiful villages -he had seen and he has neyer changed his opinion. He paid tri- rbute to the local Horticultural So- eciety for great help and assistance ethey have been in beautifying the -village. He had always been im- epressed by the fine tolerant view- fpoint of the citizens and saw evi- dence again tonight in the most sumptuous dinner he had enjoyed in company with the returned men, and whîch had been planned by members of Newcastle's three churches. 3. Mr. Cannon expressed his plea- sure in having the opportunity to speak to the returned boys, many yof whom, he had taught in school. n He recalledt that when he first dcame here some of the fathers of dthe returned boys he was address- 7ing, had just returned from serv- ;ing in the f orces of the First Great ýrWar. He was honored to be able to join in the "welcome home" tc e their sons. He paid tribute tc ýthe young men who had enlisted and gone from this little village to fight for the cause of freedomn -He paid a special tribute to thosE Il who had given their lives for their i- King and Country, and woulè ,e neyer again walk down the streetxý bof their beloved native village i- He said citizenship in a free lanc Le implies duties and responsibili. Ities as well as rights and. privi. Le leges. Returned men have mad( )f a great contribution and will makt rone in Newcastle through sacriflet they have made and experiencg - gained. When intolerance, hati - and prejudice rear their ugl, - heads we must strive ever to prac it tice true brotherhood. He aske< - the citizens of Newcas'tle to b, IY tolerant o! the adjustment per 30 iod of those returned. Rdturnei e men should set a good exampl rs particularly to the children. W ýd must expect great changes in thi [t atomic age in social improvemen and in physical things and. w must ever strive for greater socie harmony. We must search for th *truth and obey the moral law. At the conclusion of this ver eexcellent and inspiring acidreE ýnj which was loudly applauded, M: nd Cannon made the presentation o -8 behaîf of the Newcastle Baseba je Club of handsome wrist watchE - to the following returned me 6,from overseas: Alfred, Adair, Fre hAdair, Milton Brown, Harol Brown, John Cotter, Sydney Fei guson, Roy Foster, Reg Meadow Jack Nesbitt, Keith Rowe, Hom ard Rowe, Harold Rogerson, Dot graved were also presentedi te Mrs. Floyd Butler in remeinbrance of her son Murray, a pilot officer with thé R.A.F. who was reported missing in actidn and wEho was later off iciaily reported dead; to Mrs. Mary Alldiread in remem- brance o! hem son Alfred who died o! wounds whie serving ov- erseas; to Mms.

The 14 men who were present- ed with watches' on November 8, have returned fmom overseas since October, 1945. The interest and kindness of members o! the Base- bail Club to the boys who were semving overseas and enduring al the hardships and sufferings of war is deeply appreciatedi by ev- ery citizen in the community and everyone joins in assuring them o! our grateful appreciation and say- ing a fervent "Thank You" for a job so well done.
