REMUERA WOLF CUBS COMMEMORATE ANZAC

TALKS BY VETERANS With simple ceremony the St. Aidan's Wolf Cub Pack commemorated Anzac Day at the Parish Hall, Reinuera, last evening. The troop recited Laurence Binyon’s verse, "We Will Remember Them,” and then, with colours dipped, Patrol-Leader Morton, of the Scout troop, sounded the “Lost Post." This was followed by "Reveille." All remained standing while Mr. J. Mead, District Scout secretary, played Beethoven’s “Funeral March." About GO cubs and scouts, together with their parents and friends, attended this second annual commemorative service. Professor Hugh Corbin, who was in the chair, emphasised the words "Service” and “Self-respect," as being two factors necessary to enable one to do his duty to his country. "We are,” he said, "part of the British Empire, and we must do our best to serve our country and to see that she upholds her present worthy position in the eyes of other nations. We may accomplish this by respecting our nationality, and by doing nothing that would lower the traditions of the Empire." The Rev. Mr. Venables addressed the cubs, taking «.s his subject, “Why We Reverence Anzac Day.” He spoke of the bravery of the Australian and New Zealand Forces in this greatest feat of arms in the Great War. A very diminutive cub explained the meaning of "Anzac.” Lieut.-Colonel E. G. Fraser said: “We want you boys to remember that you must be ready to defend your country if ever the need should arise.” Lieut. Stocker gave a few reminiscences of the Gallipoli campaign.
