1 wonder how much more will be chipped
'away from the image of Remembrance Day
this fall?
Each year the iconoelasts chip. chip
away, hoping that eventually the whole
embarrassing (in their opinion) charade
will fade away, en though old soldiers
never do.
Last .‘„ ear. one Canadian Legion branch
observed the day a week early because the
Nov. 11 date interfered with their deer
hunting.
To the businessman, Remembrance Day
is a dam' nuisance. For years he fought it.
with one eye on his customers who w ere
veterans, and the other on his clerks. who
would have to be paid for nothing. if he
gave them the day off.
He whittled it down to half a day off,
then an hour off for the memorial services.
Today. most businessmen simply ignore
the day, and it's business as usual,
To industry. it has long, since been an
anachronism. although many of them do
allow veterans the time off to attend the
service.
To the civil seta ice. the -banks. the
teachers, it is just another welcome
holiday. .a little bonus. M akes a good day
to go hunting. or .fishing for rainbow., or
putting the boar away for the winter.
To the young people of this land.
however much their teachers try to make
them aware, it's just one of those vague
and silly holidays. like Empire Day, or
whatever that thing is called that used to
be The 24th Day of May.' the Queen's
birthday.
Even a decade or so ago, yourfgst ers still
had fathers and uncles who had served in
World War 11. and talked about it, and
maybe had a souvenir, like the garter-belt
of a Women's Land Army girl, which they
assured their kids was one of the catapults
that were Britain's only weapon after the
evacuation at Dunkirk.
For many a veteran's wife, it's a day
of some anxiety. She knows perfectly well
that, however carefully she has trained the
old man, he's going to insist on going off to-
the Legion Hall, to "honor My old
comrades," tie trouble is. his old
comrades have also gone there, to honor
him. And between all the honoring, he's
going to arrive-hems at an -unusual hour. in
an uncertain condition, and will feel every
one of his 56 years on the morrow.
That doeSn't leave much of anybody.
does it, who has any 'real stake in
Remembrance Day? .„ •
Oh. of -Course thereare the politicians..
There are still a few votes to be culled from
veterans and their wives.
And there are the trumpetsrs who can
handle the Last Post. They're few and far
between', but around Remembrance Day
they hit the Jackpot, A former student of
mine used to pick up about $35; darting
from one area community to the other.
playing the Last Post at, Legion dinners.
and memorial services, and schools and
churches.
And there's the military, the mighty and
intrepid Canadian Forces, who could
probably repel an attack by the Swiss Navy
and the army di Monaco. h gives them a
chance to strut their stuff and show that
they hay e been taught the Slow March.
But those are minority groups. Who or
_„...atahat is left to make Remembrance Day a
significant one in C,apadian Life? There's
nobody left but the' guys who were actually
there - the veterans..
Does it mean anything to them? At the
risk of sounding maudlin, I would answer
with a ringing affirmative.
Their ranks are thinning, and hardly'
anybody else turns up for the ceremony
any more. But across the land, thousands
of men and women, pot-bellied, grey-
haired, slightly ridiculous to themselves as,
well as others, will march with solemn
faces, on a cold and wet and windy day, to
community cenotaphs across the land.
They will stand and listen to the Names
Of the Fallen being tead They will be
assured by the padre that They Did Not
Give Their Lives in Vain. In the Minute's
Silence, which is usually cut to 30 seconds.
they will have a brief flicker of
overwhelming grief. Not for fallen
comrades, but for lost youth, and for the
encroachment of old age and' illness and
the final enemy.
• And as the knifing notes of The Last Post,
keen in the November air, there be
some real tears. Then. its attention.
Rey eille. and quick-step behind the band,
off to the Legion Hall,all that sloppy
"sentiment - left behind, like the fallen
comrade's, •
There, the caps will snap. and the turkey
will sizzle, and the dart board and the
shuffle board will be in full swing, and all
the young punks who joined the Legion, as
social .'tnembers will. be enjoying the
facilities, and over in a corner, a feW Old
Sweats from W.W.I will be nursing a beer
and reminding, with a quickening of the
"D'ya remember the time...?"
It's sort of sad. But maybe it's a good
thing that somebody remembers all the
z,fine yoUng men who went off so willingly,
even eagerly. ,to fight, and to die if
necessary, • for ideals that modern
historians sneer at.

What's a

Lions have
answer
What's a million?
Not many of us know or can
even imagine what a million of •
anything we can think of amounts
to - how big - how heavy is it? _
We'll soon find out. The
Seaforth Lions Club is launching a
campaign to collect a million
pennies to help the Seaforth
Arena Fund.
Wh ile some details have to be
worked out Club'President W. J.
Thompson said the ,olleetion
already is underway. When a hat
was 'passed at a Lions Club
meeting Monday night of ter the
campaign proposal had been
approved members cleaned their
pockets of pennies and came,•up
with 282 cents, he said. "That's
not much• money in itself but it
indicates the potential", Dr.
Thompson said. "ennies are
everywhere - Tucked away in
bedroom drawers, in cup s, and
cans in the kitchen and in kids
saving banks. It's our job to get
them out of hiding and into the
arena fund" he said.
'Gordon Rimmer who suggested
the idea to club members as 'a
means of aiding the ,arena fund
saw many opportunities for
Seaforth people to co-operate at
little cost to themselves.
Collection depo is in business
places„clubs and hotels will-make
it easy' for everyone to contribute
their pennies.
