I was not born when the war was on, and besides I did not know any of the men who were killed. ‘It has nothing to do with mei" It Is our responsibility to inform the children that the peace and freedom that we enjoy today was bought by the sacrifice , of the thousands of men and women who gave their lives in Order to secure that peace by eliminat- ing the forces of destruction. The following is written to el help the children and young people understand the significance of the Poppy and Remembrance Day, and also why it is important to buy a Poppy. We as adults under- stand bnly too well and may be guilty of being impatient with the children because they, cannot see ¤ that Remembrance Day has any relevance. Some young people feel that • Remembrance Day is not for their gerieration. The wars are what they study in school in Modern History - a- compulsory subject, so if they get a holiday on the 11th • of November they feel that it is a waste of time observing it in Remembrance. There are also some young people who realize the significance of the 11th and who observe it solemnly. This year's theme is "If you can't remember, think."

Any veterap may appeal to the Poppy Trust Fund for emergency aid such as food, shelter or medical •expenses. There are also bursaries for their child- ren's education in deserving and needy cases.. DOESN'T THE GOVERNMENT PROVIDE PENSIONS FOR VET- ERANS? Yes, in fact many veterans do get pensions, but many others, RI although handicapped do not.How- o ever no pension can provide for eventualities such as fire, a long illness on the part of the bread- winner or other medical expen- ses. DOES ANY VETERAN OR DE- PENDENT GET POPPY FUND HELP? Yes, in fact 75% of all cases involve veterans Who are not Legion members. DOES ALL THE MONEY RAISED THROUGH THE SALE OF POPPIES AND WREATHS GO INTO VETERANS' WELFARE? * Most of it does. However, ex- penses such- as the cost of poppies arid other-supplies natur- ally would be deducted. ARE CAMPAIGN EXPENSES HIGH? Campaign expenses are unusually low because all work is voluntary. HOW MUCH OF THIS MONEY STAYS IN THE COMMUNITY? About 70 per cent. An amount not exceeding 10 per cent may be used to help veterans in the Commonwealth under-developed countries. The rest helps Canadian veterans by going to the maintenance of Service Bur- eaus across Canada. WHAT ARE SERVICE BUREAUS? They are Legion departments Classified Ads pay dividendS. By John D.

They will act on his behalf with the Federal government. There is no charge to the veteran or dependent. The experience of Service Bureaus in handling such problems, enables the Legion to keep close check on veterans' 'legislation. and recom- mend changes where changes are justified. CAN POPPY MONEY BE USED FOR ANYTHING ELSE? • A sum not exceeding 20 per cent may be used to construct or assist in construction of low cost housing for the aged. The Legion's constitution stresses that 'these funds must be held in trust. They are subscribed to by you, the public. They are held in a bank account separate fronf that of the Branches, and cannot be used for any other purpose than stipulated above. HOW MUCH SHOULD I GIVE?' We Suggest that you give accord- ing to the dictates of your con- science.. YOU might remember that the cost of all the things the Poppy Fund provides is much higher .today than It used to be. Therefore, it takes more to do the same job. On Thursday, November 4th, members of the Legion will be around the community selling Poppies. we appreciate the sup- port that the Seaforth citizens have always given us in our PoppY campaign. We sincerely .trust that you will continue to support this very important pro- ject.
