Our own Bishop Renison, who is a veteran in every sense of the word, preached at the thanksgiving service held atâ€" St. â€" Mathew‘s Anglican Church on the close of V.~E; Day. There was quite a good showing of: Legionnaires among the congregaâ€". tion. The Rev. Father Q‘Gorman,. a" member of. Branch 88â€"«and a veteran of two wars, was outstanding among the speakers at the Hollinger (Ball Park during the Civic Parade,. and another comrade, the Rov. W. Mustâ€" ard, D. C. . M.,. officiated at the drumhead service held at.the: Cenoâ€" taph on the Sunday following V. E Day. This branch should be congratutâ€" lated on the splendid â€" turnout for the civic parade, and the weather was undcubtedly agin us. The only hitch came whenâ€"on the return trip â€"some bright â€"lad tried to lead the crowd through a gate designed‘ t> pass ‘em two abreast when there was a double gate fully twenty feet wide not more than a hundred feet down the line. Some of us like to do things the hard way, but it was tough waiting with a raw north wind whistling around our. knobby knees. ~ ' It would not be in keeping «<with these momentous times if â€" this column made no reference to V.â€"E.

It was> definitely an« occaâ€" sion for thanksgiving, and ifâ€"eper-i‘ hapsâ€"a few isolated did happen to blow a fuse, their exce:;; of spirit was due more to a sudden relsase of pentâ€"up emotion than festive urge. | JAMES R.
