Big Victory Celebration

Like every other town in the Unit ed States, this village, together with Grosvenor-Delo, had big victory eel ebration on Nov. 11th. Early Mon day morning the whistles in the mills and every bell in sight were put in motion and the glad news spread rapidly. The populace clad hastily and before o'clock a parade had been formed at the hose house and started on it's noisy career The Ca- nadian Band played all the popular marches of the day. At times the shouting and the rattling of tin cans, and the blowing of tin horns com pletely drowned out the band. When the column completed it's route and was at the hose house again the Star Spasgled Banner was played, and af- ter that tremendous cheer went up,
 Throughout the day horns, tin cans, guns and bells kept up a steady rattle. At 630 another parade, much larger than the one in the morn ing, was held. The Canadian Band played to the limit, but was scarcely heard because of the cheers, etc, which filled the air This parade was somewhat spoiled when the band left and went to Putnam. This broke up the parade. Efigies of the Kaiser hung in many different places, besides being driven in a baby carriage around town. After his ride he was thrown into the French River

 In common with the rest of the country this bustling mill village got busy Monday to celebrate the down fall of the Kaiser, and the signing of the armistice terms. As the whistles began to sound early in the morning, it was a case of no work in the mill for the day. Groups gathered about with guns, horns and musical instru- ments until it seemed as if Fourth of July had come in the month of No vember. Indeed, it was the celebra- tion of Independence Day-independ- ence from Kaiserism and militarism as is fondIy hoped by all, who have given millions of men and billions of treasure for this great end. The At tswaugan band serenaded various homes where service flags were dis played. In the afternoon procession of some 12 or 15 autos went down to Danielson to join the big parade there The autos were finely decor ated with Old Glory and bunting. A fine fife and drum corps from Ballou- vile and this village accompanied the procession, and rendered stirring mu- sic in vigorous fashion. Superintend- ent C. II. Truesdell led the procession with his auto filed with invited guests The line of march in the village con tained Red Cross women, Indians, Un- cle Sam, and effigies of Kaiser Bill. Those going in the evening to Daniel son found themselves in the biggest parade of its history It is consider ed that not less than a thousand auto vehicles were in line.
