 Owing to the fact that the statue of Joan ofs Arc. which is to surmount the memorial to be erected to the soi- diers of the parish, did not arrive for Thanksgiving day, the programme as arranged for Thursday had to be somewhat changed. Instead of the dedication of the memorial ont of doors. as originally planned, the. bronze tablet. bearing the names of Ithe service men, that is to be attach ed to the memorial was unveiled in the church during the service. This was during the sermon of Rev. Fr. Faure. M. S, The tablet had been draped with the colors of the United States and France. the folds of the flags being drawn aside by members of the Guard of Honor.
 At the end fof the mass the choir, with congregation sang the Te Dium and Immediately afterwards the ser vice closed with the singing of the
 Star Spangled Banner.
 A joyous event was awaiting the service men, who assembled at one
 o'clock in the hall at St. James school
 to be guests of the parish at an elab-
 crate Thanksgiving dinner. The liber- al supply of good things, with noth- ing that makes a grand dinner miss ing, must have made the men recall,
 by way of contrast, those simple
 though healthful and nourishing
 menus, thatswas the regular thing for
 them during the days of the war,
 There was no limit or restrictions on
 feasting Thanksgiving day. and 1t is l wholly needless to; say that the splen- i did young men demonstrated that they
 still have their appetites with them
 and are in condition to make the l best of a showing at a banquet, as l they made good soldiers and sailors
 during the war. They had a great
 time, as they richly deserved, and the
 parish was happy in having the oppor
 tunity to do them honor.
