Thousands of men, women, and children, lined both sides of Bank street, north and pouth of the church to view the ceremonial, which was carried out by the Highlanders. Small boys were even precariously rrched atop huge bill boards in order not to miss anything.

The weather was beautiful and the bayonets of the troops flashed like silver in the brilliant sunshine. Church Is Filled. The church was thronged to capacity with members of the 43rd Regimental Association and the r8th Battalion Association, when the color party and escorting platoon obtained permission from the church authorities to enter. Before the ceremony in St Giles commenced, the Colors were borne slowly down the khaki-clad lines of the main part of the battalion, as the men stood at the present. The skirling of the pipes and the magnificent Colors fluttering proudly in the breeze added 'in-z-um man ii i f1 i 'Jill', -1 100 RESISTOL CAPSULES TAMBLYM Drat Store IS Spark noe.

In so acting they also desire to provide a memorial to the men of all ranks who served under these Colors, and to afford an inspiration for patriotic service and sacrifice to all who may worship here for all time to come." Captain Logan-Vencta replied: "In the Faith of Jesus Christ we accept these Colors for the glory of God, and in memory of those who were faithful, many of them even unto death. in- the sacred cause of King and Country, and In confidence of the inspiration they will afford to all may behold them; In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

His sermon in part follows: "This text is no idle boast or empty phrase. It is a solemn and sacred claim on the benevolence of God to abundantly provide the necessary courage and determination, to keep untarnished the glorious record of achievements Inscribed on the Regimental Color, which today we have de posited for safekeeping with the authorities of this Church, and with the prayer that all who have repaired here be spared the disappointment of defeat and return with additional honors, with which to adorn the record of Ottawa's own regiment, the Cameron Highlanders, CAJ5.F. "We go out to meet a foe denuded of justice, decency and honor. The hour has struck when those nations whose will to live in peace and on friendly terms with their neighbors must unite, and with vigorous determination, set their course towards a speedy and effective overthrow of the reign of anarchy and unrestricted defiance of sacred covenants, and to the establishment of social Justice and freedom, and to the final enthronement ot reason in the conduct of international affairs and world government. "Let the motto of our beautiful city be your constant inspiration, and may you advance as Crusaders of an enlightened democracy, holding high the splendid traditions of public service that have characterized the units whose unselfish devotion to duty are deeply embedded in your regimental history.

"Having set up your banners in the Name of the Lord, go forward now to whatever He may call you, proving yourselves good soldiers of Christ our Lord." Takes Salute.

(CP) A skeleton staff of stokers and a half-dozen police officials remained on duty tonight at the strike-bound Canadian Celanese Limited plant after a maintenance crew of 500 men retired Saturday when a short-circuit of high tension wires stopped the plant's essential water pumps. Non-strikers claimed that the short-circuit was caused by strikers throwing a ftccl chain across a high-tension wire at a sub-station located about a quarter-mile away from the main plant.

Shutdown of the pumps brought evacuation of the 500 men who had been kept on duty to ensure a normal resumption of work on adjustment of strikers' grievances. The strike started yesterday after a week of negotiations between Canadian Celanese officials and employes who had sought recognition of their union, the National Catholic Textile Syndicate. Union workers also protested that production had "-een speeded up without any increase in pay for operators caring for more looms. As the 500 maintenance men left the plant, more than 3,000 persons gathered at the main entrance to the grounds. Those at the gate confined themselves to shouts at the non-strikers.

Union workers had intended to go on strike last Monday night but a walkout was postponed through the efforts of Drummond-vllle's mayor, J. A. Rajotte, who is also Liberal member for the Quebec Legislature for Drum-mond County; Rev. P. Allard, parish priest; and Cyp'rien Miron, a Quebec Labor Department official.

Miron said the greatest difficulty had been encountered in persuading union employes to put off the strike until the matter would be submitted to Celanese directors, most of whom were in New York. Meanwhile, the company's head office at Montreal declared Saturday that "we have nothing to give MONDAY, MAY 13, 1940. Burns Are Fatal To Mrs. H. Felhaber PEMBROKE, May 12 (Special) Mrs.

Harry Felhaber, 39, died in the Cottage Hospital here this morning from burns suffered when she attempted to light the stove in her Clontarf, Sebastopol Township, home, with coal oil on Friday afternoon. The oil caught fire, exploded and deluged Mrs. Felhaber with the naming liquid. Her 14-year-old son, Harry, beat out the flames on his mother's clothing, managed to get her and five younger brothers and sisters out of the burning kitchen before returning and putting out the fire which had caught in the walls of the room. Mrs.

Felhaber was rushed to Pembroke Hospital where she was attended by Dr. Al. L. Kig-ginsori. The funeral will be held it her home on Tuesday.
