George W. Sach, spoke on "A Day of Remembrance". Following the service all par- aded to the cenotaph at the Le- glen Hall, where they were join- ed by members from the other churches. It was a bright, sunny, ideal Fall day for the Remembrance Day service which followed, with the Legion president, J. W. Smith as MC. Rev. E. 0. Lancaster of the Anglican Church, read the scripture lesson, Rev. G. W. Sach of the United and Rev. John Sexton of the Pentecostal Holiness Church, led inprayer. The following wreaths were then placed on the cenotaph: Province of Ontario by Hon. W. A. Stewart; Lucan Legion, President, J. W. Smith; Lucan Legion Auxiliary, President Mrs. A. E.

I don't know how you feel, but my answer is a resounding, reactionary Yes! It is based not on facts, but on emotion. I'm a sucker for Remem- branee Day. There's something to mist the eyes in the jaunty gallantry of the old vets as they try to match the swing they marched with 46 years ago, here a stiff leg swinging, there a pipped-up sleeve, And there's something almost equally touching in the vets of World War II. They straighten their backs, pull in their pots, ignore their kids waving at them from the sidewalk, and for a few brief moments toss away 20- odd years and become tough Canadian troops, striding to- ward their destiny. During the two-minutes' sil- ence at the Cenotaph, I re- member. I remember the two lads, a Canadian and a New Zealander, with whom I shared 14 there any Point in Pree longing the observance pf that middle-aged and melancholy occasion known as llernemr brance Day? They mean nothing to about eighty percent of the several million immigrants to Canada since World War II. How would you feel about Remembrance Day if you were a former Gere man tank commander, or an Italian ex-infa.ntryman? Both the world wars of this century are ancient history to school children, and the old cliches of the day "s ac r i- fice," "laid down their lives," "fought for freedom" — leave them solemn but uncompre- hending. And last, but not least, it terferes with business, Mer- chants will tell you, with tears as big as turnips in their eyes, that they'll go broke If they have to close upon November 11, Manufacturers will assure you that the one-day interrup- tion of production will force them to the wall. In view of all this, is there any sense in hanging on to this special day? Why not cut it down to a one-hour coffee break on Nov. 11th?
