Among the guests, were the Rector of Stony- hurst College (Very Rev. Father Belton, 8J .) ' the Rev. Fathers Vavasour, S.J.„ Walkerley,] S.J., and Father Walmsley, SJ., together with; Dr. Ramsey, Mr. H, V. Moreton, Captain: Williamson' and Mr. 8. Robins (Clitheroe).! The President of the branch, Major L. de C.' F, Robertson, presided and proposed the loyal] toast which-was enthusiastically honoured.' A toast to the British Legion was proposed by Mr. Moreton (Stonyhurst) who referred to the high hopes' entertained on the first armistice day and then to the recent crisis with its deep shadow of the menace'of; another war with democracy again threat­ ened. Mr. Moreton added that it was a superfluous [task to recall a long series of blunders the result pf a too-narrow Nation-, allsm . arid historical Ignorance and lack of foresight which had all gone to destroy the hopes of 1918. Eight .weeks ago the country; was on the very brink of the abyss once moreJ And .even then, when gas masks were being served- out and we all again realised the utter futility of war, we also - realised the glorious fact that the country seemed as ready to answer the call of duty In 1938 as it had been ready to 1914, and we to Hurst Green- somehow felt that after all perhaps the outlook was not so black and the sky not so dark as many people would have us imagine, we had to our little village at any rate.

and in reply Major Robertson expressed his thanks - to Mr. Moreton for the eloquent fashion in which he had paid tribute to the British Legion. The members, he said, were fully conscious of their responsibilities and to preserving the fellowship which existed among the ranks during the Great War they were doing somethtog to maintain the com- rad,e^p which could be of great value to all circumstances.
