Engineer B. M. Ross, Code- rich, informed council that the sidewalks installed incorrectly at the soinmerfield apartments on Sanders street had been the fault of the town crew ;who had not followed the levels designed by his firm. • He noted that some of the Stakes had been broken off. hut even those remaining in- tact had not been adhered to and the sidewalk was built scleral inches too hi;:,s1 and had to he ripped tip. Councillor Ted Wright re- Pneted lie had received com- fit:anus from two property own- er, on Marlborough street who fell the sidewalk had not been built in the area as previous• planned. "'the report was published in the paper that we were going to build the sidewalk," he- *inter] nut. "and they want to 1.7iow why we didn't." Councillor Ralph Bailey re• plied that the sidewalk had not ht en constructed because the temperature was not favour- gtle for construction. "It's unfortunate," he stet- O. "but it has been too cold." However, he stated that if it warmed up sufficiently the sidewalk would be built for the residents. in other business, council: Were informed by the Can- kcian National Railways that they have sold about one-third often acre of their property to tlf6 Canadian Canners. Learned from clerk C. V. Piekard that he had been in* /melted by the Ontario Muni- cipal Board that only one no- tice of the new zoning bylaw wolild have to he sent to joint prilperty owners as long as they both lived et the same address. He pointed out this would cut down on the nutnbee of qmyle.we that would have to be :mailed as many propertiet were listed as being jointly owned by husbands and wives. Halt TttesdaY night to answer e.ny questions from ratepayers in regard to the revised values. Court of revision will be held Wednesday, Nov. 21. Taxes remain same Tax rate for McGillivray is the same as 1961, but the town- ship has had to absorb a four- lain hike in the.district high school rale. The central school board dropped another two mills from its levy and the general town- ship rate is down a similar amount, offsetting the high school increase, This year's breakdown is: county, 18,1 mills; township, 10; high school, debenture, 4,8, maintenance 11; school area board, debenture, 4.4, mainten- ance, 1.7; fire protection, one mill, Donate to fair board At its meeting last week, council made a p5 donation to the F'arkleill fair board. Three tile drain loans were approved and one fox bounty Was paid to Robert Steeper. SHDHS board —continued from Page 1 "We aren't advertising for another man until you resign," Hensall representative Laird Mickle added. The board then decided not to -advertise for a yiee-princi- pal this year and also took no further action on the sugges- tion of acquiring another office girl, The principal pointed out that some of the school's work was presentl y being farmed out, and while a second girl would be warranted, question- ed where they would get the extra office space. "I agree that we are vastly understaffed," he noted, "but I don't know where we would be able to put another girl." Cafeteria problem After learning that the school's cafeteria was over- crowded, the board accepted the principal's recommenda- tion to purchase one new table and to. install a shelf ard'und one wall that would enable students to stand up while eat- ing their lunch, He noted that at present, they put their trays on the window sill while they are eat- ing, but there still isn't enouelm room for them all, especially during inclement weather when few travel down town to eat. "It isn't any hardship for them to stand up and eat," he stated, "but they need some place ;to put their trays." Pointing out they they were sitting all day, he said he thought most of them actually enjoyed standing hp to eat their dinner. The principal reported the first set of examinations would commence Friday. November 23. and would he concluded the following week. He told the board that the winter activity timetable, had been set un and would be car- ried en during the last period of the day for all five dayS. This is a change from re cent years when the student , were dismissed earlier on Fr' days, but this has been alter- ed due to the fact some ar- at Clinton and the buses have to wait until they return, Sturgis reported that the total attendance at the school was 759, and the teacher- student ratio was an "ideal." 25 to one.

Li egh 3.—Marshall There are some people who deplore the annual ritual of Remembrance. Why re-open old wounds and revive memories of the pain and sorrow of family bereavements, they ask? Why spoil the work of Time, the great healer. The fallacy behind this sort of thinking is that by allowing time to dim the memory of our losses we might easily for- feit the freedoms for which thousands of Canadians gave their lives. Another genera- tion, unappreciative of the tre- mendous sacrifices of the past, might not hold so dear the democratic principles for which we fought. Only from the great record- ed achievements of the past can we draw inspiration for the fortitude and courage re- quired of us in the future, Can- adians should realize today more than ever the tremend- ous debt of gratitude they owe to our war veterans and to our war dead. By their courage and supreme sacrifice they made it possible for us to re- tain our dignity, pride and in- tegrity as citizens of a free nation. On November 11th, Canadians all across the country will stop and remember the men who were killed in wars. There will be parades to memorials in sonic 2,000 cities, towns and villages. Then everybody will stand in silence as they re, member the more than 100,000 brave Canadians who were killed, That is why November 11th is called Remembrance Day. On that day everybody wears a poppy, a reminder of the blood red flower which grew in the fields where many of these Men died. Much of the fighting was done in a place called folanders, This evae dur- ing the war of 1914-1918. Every spring, the soldiers fighting hi the trenches noticed The red flowers blooming on the battle- grounds. And as more and more of their friends were killed, the soldiers noticed that the poppies bloomed over their OARADE AND sOrtvice Sunday, November 11 Members Of time Connell, girl giddes, Scaits, Cubs, Ladies Atteillety and Legion wilt meet at the Legion Hall at 10:30 a'.1lle'rade Will idea up and P march down Main street te th0. .fames Street United Church for the Betrietribrance Service, arriving at the church ley It O'clock.

The rewards and satisfactions for which they fought and died are gravely threatened by war in some parts of the world and cruel suppression in others. This year is no exception. Tensions have been building up again in the long cold war between the Western Powers and Russia. Our hopes of a lasting peace after World War 1 were shat- tered in a short 20 Years by Hitler's goose-stepping hordes, After six years of fire and death we set up the United Nations, bright with hope and shining with faith. But it is being used as a public forum for malignant propaganda as well as rightful expression. .Now as We listen to the news about Berlin and Russia's amazing distortion of facts Poppy Story graves.
