Odds n' Ends
By ELAINE TOWNSHEND
On November 11, 1918, the
Armistice was signed, and at 11
a.rn, the roar of the guns ceased.
Bells pealed around the globe;
millions of battle weary people
rejoiced. World War I had ended.
Depression, distrust and hatred
still smouldered, however. Some
historians claim the period of
peace after 1918 was only an
armed truce. Twenty-one years
later World War II erupted.
Scarring the globe, the deadly
and costly hostilities raged for six
years.
For those of Us born after
World War II, it's difficult to
imagine the terror and the
desperation of the war years.
The causes and effects of the
two wars, the crucial battles, the
inventions of new weapons, the
devastation of the Atom Bomb,
and the Depression are just
history lessons we studied in
school.
The cost of the wars in dollars,
the cities ravaged by the bombs
and the number of people killed
or wounded are only statistics.
By listening to the tales of our
parents and our grandparents,
we gain a second-hand knowledge
of the tragic events. We also
review stories, poems and films
based on the two world wars.
When I was a child, I was
fascinated by the war movies. I
laughed and cried with the
heroes. As I grew older, I realized
the stories weren't fiction. Those
atrocities actually happened. My
romance with the war movies
soon concluded.
During the past quarter of a
century, upheavals occurred in
various parts of the world, In
Canada, most members of my
generation watched from a safe
distance. We realized that the
news reports, brought to us via
satellite, were real, The violence,
bloodshed and suffering' appalled
us.

grown to include a display of
Dutch crafts, Ukrainian and

she said and the displays have
just mushroomed.
A Dancing Club from the

march through the streets of
town to lay wreaths at the foot of
the cenotaph. We observe a two
minute silence, honouring the
victims of World War I and of
World War II.
For the veterans, for the
families that lost loved ones, and
for all the people who endured the
harsh realities of war, the
memories are vivid.
What does Remembrance Day
mean to those of us who don't
share their recollections? Do we
feel less emotional and somewhat
detached?
If we consider what the flowers
on our coats symbolize, if we
study the faces of the veterans,
and if we ponder our history
lessons, Remembrance Day
gains importance in our minds.
We, too, are grateful to the men
and women who sacrificed for
our freedom.
Although my generation didn't
experience World War I or World
War II, we understand history
enough to pray, "God, please
don't let there be a World War
III."

UCW see films
of life in India
The Exeter Evening UCW held
their November meeting Monday
with Unit leader Carol Willard in
charge.
A few ladies from Bethel
Reformed Church were guests.
Mrs. Ada Dinney's committee
was in charge of the devotional
period assisted by Maxine Sereda
who led in a sing song.
Lauretta Siegner read a poem
"Just for today" followed by the
scripture by Elsie Tuckey,
Irene ' Dunn introduced the
guest speaker, Mrs, Jane
Davidson of Brucefield who
showed films and gave a most
interesting description of the
work and progress of the
primitive life in the central part
of India. The guest speaker was
thanked by Lauretta Siegner
followed by a lunch served by the
group in charge.
Because we weren't directly
involved, however, we can't
comprehend the impact with
which war strikes its victims.
In many ways, my generation
has been fortunate. But what
does the future hold for us?
Comparing history with the
present situation sometimes
'creates formidable prospects.
o•,; On November 11, 1974, we
flow a tradition and our
t oughts turn to the past. We don
red felt poppies on our lapels.
We watch the Legion members
