There they stood on the ground,
Wreaths were laying all around.
I wondered why they were there,
I knew that some didn't care.
The questions rose in my mind,
But no answers could I find.
I tried to ask older folks
But they treated them as jokes.
I went to look up some books
And got many strange looks
The books told of war and death
Of those who took their last breath
Many men went to war
Loyal soldiers went out the door.
Many sorrows did they see
Many died for people like me.
Young men came back old,
The life and joy suddenly cold
So on that November Day
Remember then as you pray.
-MICHELLE NESBIT
JUNIOR POEM
THE WAY WAR WAS
Loud and clear they heard the call,
The war had touched them heil.
Our boys must go and fight the cause,
And leave the ones held dear.
For several years the war raged on.
For freedom our boys fought.
Across the sea in foreign lands,
"Dear Lord" we lost a lot.
It seemed the war would never end,
By the thousands our boys fell.
The ones that finally made it home,
Had seen a living hell.
They left as boys and came home men,
The pride we felt was strong.
For each and everyone that went
And fought to right the wrong.
So once a year we take the time,
To say how much we care.
For all the men that died at war,
We bow our heads in prayer. -LISA BAILEY

"cute"; it's "sick"!
The rules should be changed. If
parents will join me and others who
are voicing similar displeasure,
they will be changed.
You can help by urging concern-
ed parents and others:
1. to contact their Minor Hockey
Association President;
2. to write their local newspaper to
publicize the concern;
3. to call their local radio call-in
show;
4. to write their M.P.P.;
5. towrite the OMHA President at:
1425 Bishop St., Unit 6,
CAMBRIDGE, Ontario. N1R 6J9.
6. to write the CAHA President at:
National Office, 333 River Road
VANIER, Ontario. K1L 8H9
7. to contact their local hockey
coach about immediate abuses of
physical aggression; and
8. to call me in Seaforth to add their
names to a brief for submission to
the OMHA.
I am convinced - through
contacts made during the last
month - that a majority of parents
want these regressive rules chang-
es removed. It's an error to assume
that nothing can be done.
Let's take some positive action to
initiate some constructive change
on behalf of our children!
