After the addresses and ceremony, the parade reâ€"formed and marched back to the town hall for dismissal. Opportunity was given during the service at the cenotaph for the placing of wreaths upon the memorial. Among those placing wreaths on the memerial were the following:â€"Canadian Legion, Timmins, Ladies‘ Auxiliary, Timmins, Provincial Government, Town of Timâ€" mins, Timmins Fire Dept., Timmins Police Dept.. Hollinger Mine, Golden Beaver Lodge, A. F. A. M., Timmins Lodge of the Oddfellows, Castle Douglas Camp of the Sons of Seotland, Timâ€" mins, Sons of England, Daughters of England, LO.L., LOB.A., LO.D.E, the Italian Veterans, the Loyal Finnish Hociety, the Polish People of Timmins, the Loyal Ukrainian Society, the Boy scouts, the Girl Guides, the St. John Ambulance Brigade, seveml from the Mr. E. L. Longmore in a brief address appropriate to the occasion touched on many points of interest, referring to the ideals that should be inspired by the true observance of Remembrance Day. Rev. Bruce Millar spoke of the treâ€" mendous cost of the world war, not only in lives but in money. He quoted facts and figures to illustrate the points he made, and his brief address was very interesting throughout. Mayor Drew spoke particularly to the younger generation, urging them to loyvalty to the ideals for which brave men had given their lives, and asking them to remember those who lie in Flanders Fields. Each of the speakers touched on the meaning of the day and the honour owing to those who had given their lives for others. President Neame spoke of the need for loyalty to flag and country. There were those who would rob us of all that the heroes had died to maintain. â€" Only lovalty and rememâ€" brance would hold the day. The large gathering honcuring the dead on this Remembrance Day, he said, taught its own lesson to all who harboured disloyâ€" al thoughts. "The Canadian Legion carries on," he concluded. Adjutant Jones of the Salvation Army led in prayer. Then followed the hymn, "Nearer My God to Thee," sung by the large gathering, the Timmins Citizens‘ Band playing the accompaniâ€" ment. Addresses were given by the following:â€"Austin Neame, president of the Timmins Branch of the Canadian Legion BESL., His Worship Mayor Geo. 8. Drew, E. L. Longmore, and Reyv. Bruce Millar. "Onward, Christian Soldiers," and "Goed Save the King," brought the service to a close., The Timmins Branch of the Canaâ€" dian Legion BESL., had their p‘ans well prepared and the result was the largest turnout ever witnessed on any similar occasion in Timmins,. The parade, fully half a mile in length, asâ€" sembled at the town hall, and mustered as follows:â€"Chief of Police H. Jones and the Timmins police force, Fire Chief A. Borland and Timmins fireâ€" men, Hollinger police force, Timmins Citizens‘ Band, Legion [Bugle Band, Sons of Secotland pipers, colour party of the Canadian Legion followed by members of the Legion and the Ladies‘ Auxiliary, about 200 strong, the Boy Scouts, the Girl Guides, the Italian Veterans, the fraternal organizations, the St. John Ambulance Brigade, the Loyal Finnish Society, the White Eagle society of Polish people, the Loyal Ukrainian Society, the School Cadets of Schumacher.\ The latter looked especially well in their attractive uniâ€" forms and with their fine bearing. The Girl Guides, in charge of their lieutenâ€" ent, Miss Cranston, drew special reâ€" mark for their fine appearance and marching. Indeed, it may be said that the way all the ladies in the parade marched was worthy of remark, their erect but easy carriage and the way they kept in step, showing the fact that they live up to whatever occasion they may meet. Special interest was taken in the little girl with the loyal Ukrainâ€" ians, this youngster being beautifully dressed in Ukrainian costume. Each of the organizations and groups carried their own standards and these flags and ensigns made a very interesting and attractive feature to those watching the parade. Of course, British flags preâ€" dominated, being proudly carried by all. All the bands played lively music for the paraders and helped materially in the success of the march. Upon "arrival at ~the « memorial: â€"on Spruce street, a crowd of 2,500 or more was found to have assembled for the service at the cenotaph. The standard. bearers lined up on each side of the pathway leading to the memorial. The two minutes of silence ppened the proceedings at the cenotaph, folâ€" lowed by the sounding of the "Last Post" and "Reveille," by Buglers P. Cherry and F. J. Hornby. ‘"The Flowâ€" er of the Forest," a Scottish lament, was then played by the Sons of Scotâ€" land pipers.

As usual when a council has given general satisfaction under difficult corâ€" ditions there are suggestions made in some quarters that the expense of an election be avoided this year by the election of mayor and councillors by acclamation. The same suggestlon was made last year, It remains to be seen whether the desire to save money by having an election by acclamation is general or whether it is offset by the idea of having a contest at this time.
