' It is easier and chore satisfactory, to ke,e4:0a_lpi protect the freedom that so much has For Remembrance Protect avifrqedionl; ,AA P folk banquet been sacrificed fot already, to cherish it in peace, rather than to redeem it in war, was the message Robert McKinley MP gave the ffensall Legion at their • annual banquet. "Remembrance Day has become known as a day of grief, ' of glory and rededication, a day set aside to remember those who gave their lives that others might live in freedom," Mr.MeKinley said. "But times are changing. Many people can no longer, identify with many of the things that have been taken for granted for all these years, the things that Remembrance Day is known for, " he continued. "Today most Canadians are too young to have had any war experiences or any recollection of total wartime conditions," he adcted. Mr. M cKinley felt that some veterans may even be getting an inferiority' complex about their accomplishment of 25 or 50 years, feeling that what they did is so out of fashion now that they should apologize for having been involved at all. "Veterans have no. reasons to apologize, for no large group of men ever shaped the past more than the soldiers of the past wars," he said. Mr. McKinley cited some questions often asked by people today. Why did they go? What did they achieve by doing so? Are those achievements relevant today and why? Mr McKinley replied to his own questions saying: They went to war to do battle with people, but in the final analysis, they were defending ideals and principles that we, and our allies considered worth fighting 'Mt. They fought,. against philosophies and practices that were contrary to our freedom and our democratic institutions, or were unacceptable in terms of human rights 'and dignity. Mr McKinley said that tf, veterans saw Canada's ideals, form of government, freedoms, culture and way of life being threatened. The veterans went forth to defend those things, in company with allies having px, similar interests. P "There are many peoplewho question whether they were rig ht in going to war, especially when the threat was so far away. This,is not the issue, they did what they believed to be right and fought for what our government thought was right," he said. 'In going to war the veterans achieved freedom," he continued. Some people think it was a poor bargain, 115;000 lives and so much human suffering to restore .freedom that was only threatened, not really lost. People say this because they don't know what it's like to lose their freedom," he said. "This is relevant today," Mr. M cKinley said, "because we enjoy freedom and democracy in this country because of the sacrifices of past generations." "Freedom is not something ;that can be purchased outright, it must be guarded or it will be threatened and then it will have to be reclaimed or it will be lost," he said. In concluding his speech, Mr. McKinley said, "Let us pledge a rededication to the ideals of peace, pledge to the departed that a will renew our efforts to ensure peace with honour to our nation; ensure ourselves that no more names are carved on cenotaphs to the memory of young lives taken in attempts to resolve the differences between nations. "Let us also think of the war veterans who served the repective generations exceedinlgy well, established bench-marks of patriotism, self discipline, duty and achievement that will always be the hallmark of our times. "At this remembrancetime, we have much to remember, to think about and to be thankful for, much to tell our children and our. grandchildren." "Let us do so with pride at every opportunity," he said. shut-ins e: • . 114.E.

Seaforth historian Belle> Campbell in her book "The Stary of Seaforth" says "on the corner east of Steene's log cabin, Robert `Barney" Lumsden in the early 1860's opened a store in which he sold drugs,, a business which he continued to carry on in town for many years." While the building he occupied was damaged, it survived the Seaforth fire of September 1876 which wiped out much of Main Street. The next year 1877 D.D.Wilson purchased the frame store as a preliminary to the construction of the large brick egg storage plant which dominated the corner for the next 50 years.
