Remembrance, Day speakers say to people;
Must be more active and tolerant
Rev, Phil Gandon suggested
Friday that the present state of
affairs in the world and in Can-
ada probably isn't what men had
hoped for when they took up arms
to fight in the wars of this cent-
UrY.
"Let's agree that it's a better
place than it would have been if
you hadn't gone to war," he told
the veterans in the congregation,
but then asked them if it was
really what they had fought for
and what their comrades had died
for.
The veterans were joined at the
Remembrance Day service, at
Trivitt Memorial Church by the
Legion Auxiliary, various youth
groups and about 150 residents.
The Anglican cleric asked the
veterans three questions: Why
did they go to war? To what pur-
pose was all the waste of life?
What was achieved by their com-
rades' deaths.
"You'd probably say that you
wanted the world to be a better
place for your children," he told
them, and then asked if the world
of the 60's was turning out to
their expectations.
He said nations were living
under the threat of nuclear war,
and until this power was control-
led, then the world was not what
they had fought for.
Rev. Gandon went on to cite
the moral decline and decay of
the world in which there were
few standards; a world in which
there is affluence and at the same
time starvation; a world in which
men can be tossed into jail to be
treated worse than what some
people would treat animals.
"There are so many areas in
which so much has to be done
before we can make the world a
good reason for our fighting and
dying," he suggested.
However, he said there was no
one to blame but ourselves, be-
cause the fight was for democracy
and there were responsibilities
as well as priviledges in a dem-
ocracy.
The Legion padre quoted from
a recent editorial in the T-A
bemoaning the fact that while
nomination meetings exemplified
the freedoms won in the wars,
the upcoming nominations in this
area would probably be poorly
attended and would not have ample
candidates for the public offices
to be offered.
He added that his wife had re-
cently spent three months at-
tempting to get someone to assist
With the local Girl Guides and now
the Cubs were experiencing dif-
ficulties in getting enough lead-
ers.
"Those we remember today
didn't sit back," Rev. Gandon
stated in urging those in attend-
ance to get involved. "Get where
the action is," he concluded.
Assisting in the service were
the Rev, John Boyne and the
Rev. H. Heeg. Legion President
Chub Edwards and Auxiliary Pre-
sident Mrs, Robert Wragg read
the scriptures.
The worship service at the
cenotaph was conducted by Rev.
S. E. Lewis and Rev. D. S.
Warren. Andrew Bierling was
master of ceremonies.
Those placing wreaths in the
service were as follows:
Province of Ontario, the Hon.
C. S. MacNaughton; CFB Cen-
tralia, S/L Jack Malone; Ex-
eter, Jack Delbridge; Usborne,
Archie Etherington; Stephen,

wards.
Also on hand were two term-
er past presidents of the Legion
who are now living out of town;
Max Harness, Sarnia, and Herb
Broom, Harrow.
C. S. MacNaughton replied to
the toast to the guests and S/L
Malone replied to the toast to
CFB Centralia,
The latter stated that person-
nel at the base had always tried
to work closely with the local
Legion and that all men who had
passed through the area training
school had enjoyed Exeter and
the surrounding community.
"Centralia was always con-
sidered a plum as far as postings
were concerned," S/1_, Malone
reported, indicating that the many
benefits and attractions in the
area, plus the lower cost of liv-
ing, made it enjoyable.
However, he noted that this
would be the last year that any-
one from Centralia would be par-
ticipating in the local service as
the base will be closed next year.
creating troubles as the U.S.A.
felt they had to destroy com-
munism and the Communist coun-
tries felt they had to destroy
imperialism and democracy,
"All believe they will ultim-
ately be successful," he noted.
However, he said both were
wrong in saying that their way
was the only right one and told
the audience that it is necessary
for world peace that men and
nations find humbler ways of
holding to their convictions.
He concluded by saying this
was only possible through Jesus
Christ.
Andy Bierling was master of
ceremonies for the evening. Reg
McDonald introduced the head
table which included: Bert Cost-
land, Pat Skinner, Rev. Edgar
Roulston, Stan Frayne, Rev. Phil
Gandon, S/L Malone, Chub Ed-
wards, Jack Delbridge, the Hon.
C. S. MacNaughton, Eugene Beav-
er, Howard Holtzman and Har-
vey Pfaff.

NEED TOLERANCE
Friday evening, the Legion en-
tertained a number of local of-
ficials at the annual Remem-
brance Day banquet at their hall.
Guest speaker was Rev. H. D.
Pilen, Pine River.
He told the large crowd that for
peaceful coexistence in the world
today, all persons must display
a measure of tolerance.
He said this was difficult in
that men have always believed
that they had to fight for their
convictions if they were to prove
they were men.
"Now it is recognized by some
that tolerance is really a virtue,"
he said.
Rev. Pilen indicated that it was
this lack of tolerance that was
