It takes a realistic look at our population's age grouping and recognizes the fact that 60 percent of the population are under 30.. Not only are students un- able to remember World War II, many sochool teachers are also too young to have had any personal involve- ment. So as Seaforth area citizens join with veterans in Remembrance Day events this year the thrust of the 1971 Remembrance mess- age very simply is: "If you can't remember war , think of the peace and your duty as a Canadian citizen." In an age of vociferous protest groups, one hears' a great deal, about liberty, civil rights, opportunit- ies for youth and "doing on.e's thing". The 1971 Remem.brance theme attempts to repatriate one word, a News of Staffa word which somehow has be- come foreign to too many of us. That word is "res- ponsibility". It was in recognition of the full meaning of the word that hundreds of thousands of Canadians have offered their services when their country called - --when thousands upon thousands gave their all. For those who are for- tunate enough not to remem- ber war, Remembrance Day still has an important message. It is not a mes- sage of old battles, but one of old causes. It is not a message of death and the past, but one of 'hope and the future. Remembrance is a time during which we all can examine our sense of responsibility as Can- adian citizens. If we don't do it on this day, when else in our fun- oriented calendar will we find time to make a true assessment of ourselves as citizens of this country :and of the world?

Cromarty 4-H MEET A Fondue Party, with moth- In the Years Agorae we've just been through a perfect late fall weekend in these parts. The sort of weather we'd been waiting for all summer, and which refused to arrive. But the. weather was the only thing that was perfect. The rest of the weekend was a comedy of errors. My wife had lost her glasses: She can see about eighteen miles, but has trouble with the small print. So I was volunteered on -a beautiful Saturday afternoon, when I had planned to get in a last game of golf, to drive 75 miles round trip, with her, to the optome- trist. For an eye examination? Oh, no, she could have obtained a prescription from the doctor. No. Merely so that she could choose frames for the dam' things that would enhance her beauty. She had explained that the optometrist was closed on Wednesday afternoons, and that since I was free on Saturday, there was no reason I couldn't drive heryak yak yak. ' Just before we left sheewondered whe- ther she 'should call to make sure he was open. I scoffed at the idea. "Don't be silly. If he closes Wednesday afternoon, he'll be, open Sattirday. Especially with all that out-of-town business." Sp she didn't. I mellowed a bit on the way, with the sun smiling on a world of magnificent Bttt I'd tather 'have been' 'six other places. . We got there, parked, 'walked to the store and - you grabbed it - he was closed. Ten minutes later we were at the curt recrimination • nolnt, and twenty minutes after mat we were laughing as we lumbered off on the home journey. Arrived chez nous and the house was like an oven. We were bickering about who had turned the thermostat up to 75 (it was '75 outside), when a sepul- chral voice from above inforpled us that our only begotten son had,arrived, taken a shower, and turned on the heat to avoid a chill. He's the same character e who will walk around in his bare feet in winter. I picked up this morning's daily paper and what was the first thing I read? Headlines: Beards for bachelors; whis- kers rub wives the wrong way. It was back in Centennial Year when my husband had his beard.. Mr. Keller, the normally quiet and very conservative man I'd married surprised me no end when he reached his decision to grow hair on his face. It was so out of character for my spouse that was shocked into agreeing with him. I remember that when the project was getting underway, I was wondering just What kind of a fool I'd been to allow this thing to happen. I found that while my husband was being freed from the morn- ing ritual at the bathroom sink, I was a prisoner of those itchy good-bye pecks and those rough hello buzzes. It was like being loved by a friendly porcupine. But as the days became weeks and , the stubble grew into a beard, I bean to change my opinion. There was something Very distinguished looking about my hus- band. He was no longer just an ordinary ‘, fellow but he'd become a man at whom other women looked with admiration In their eyes. What's more, the scratchy beginnings of a beard had now become soft and silken strands of hair, clean and shining and good smelling. l found it was no longer an ordeal to be face to face with this new hairy version of my husband. Instead it was an ,absolutely new kind of pleasure which .gave me great satisfaction. It' made me feel like more of a woman than I'd ever been before. Alas it was my handsome husband who decided to remove the heard. I pleaded with-him to keep it. I promised him all sorts of things if only he'd reconsider' and. let the beard grow. But he was determined. With something bordefing on defiance, my husband marched to the bathroom, picked up the razor and began Following a-- long-distance call at a few days. before, we had hall-expec- ted him, along with his kid sister. Half, because you never know with them. However, Old Fuss-Boots had decided we should stock up with grub, just in case. We hadh't all. been together for about eight months. So we went all out; a turkey, a big roast, wine; all sorts of goodies. The freezer was bulging with meat. • , Kim didn't come. When his mother asked Hugh what he would like for -dinner, and rhymed off the delicacies, he answered calmly that he was a vege- ' tarian and had brought his own little packet of brown rice. " There are times when .it's hard to keep your temper , but we managed. By the time, we'd sorted this out, coolly, we had a desultory dinner of boiled brown rice for him, Kentucky fried chicken for us. But fate still had a facile, fickle finger for us. Hugh had come home to get away from the city, see the glory of fall foliage, walk in the woods 'and on the lonely beach. He woke up Sun- • day morning, stretched his neck and had a muscle spasm. This is a thing that sets your neck otter on one shoulder and gives you a foretaste of hell if you try to turn your head. Spent most of Sunday, another per-. feet day, trying to find the local chiro- practor af - his carefully concealed cot- tage ten' miles from town, and thereafter slapping hot towels on Hugh's neck. He could see only the foliage on one side of the road, as we drove._ Home to Mama, and the last blow had fallen. The freezer compartment of the fridge wasn't working. And it was loaded with meat. All of which -was rapidly getting limp. The meat is in the neighbours', freezer, Hugh's neck is slightly better, and, at time of writing, it's another beautiful day in which I have been chained, first, in an institution, and second, to my typewriter. Tomorrow, everything will be back to normal. And _it'll snow. •to shave. He was a stranger to me. He looked familiar but years ant] years younger. His face was smooth and so, so soft . . . like the countenance of a child. I remember how I laughed and cried all at the same time. I laughed because he looked so childish and I cried because my he-man seemed to De gone. Well, as you would suispect I got over my disappointment. It wasn't too long before I had forgotten how handsome my husband had looked with his beard. Slowly I began to appreciate his clean.;- shaven appearance once more. But now and again I get a wistful longing for that beard, especially when I see a man who sports a fine growth of well-groomed whiskers. All I can say to women who have husbands who want to grow beards is to give it a chance. With your bles- sings, encourage him to have his fling at letting his beard grow. You may be just as surprised as I was at who is the first to want the hair shaved away! Of course, there is the undeniable fact that when a woman sees that her husband is admired by other women - and bearded men are always noticed and secretly watched by women who like masculinity - "takes a renewed in- terest in her spouse. I suppose that's only natural, too, but when some other gal makes even the most casual remark about wanting to nestle into that beard, wives become entirely protective of their men - and suddenly keener, about the beard growing. Oh sure, there are lots and lots of young men - boys, if you like - who use a beard to appear older and more mature, but that doesn't really wash with me.Show me a man - a red-blooded Canadian male with a beard - and I'll show you a fellow with added appeal for the ladies and a new confidence about himself.
