Lack of discipline
could bring trouble
Canadians have had 30
years of “fat living’’ in
which they have not been
engaged in any armed
hostilities, but if they main
tain their obsession for
material comforts “we’ll
end up in big trouble”
predicted an area
clergyman this week.
Rev. Donald Stuart, a
retired RCAF padre now liv
ing near Devon Corners, told
a large audience at Satur
day’s Remembrance Day
banquet at the Exeter
Legion that he was afraid
the prosperity enjoyed by
Canadians “may be just a
time for breeding of new
seeds of war”.
He noted there were
already serious confron
tations from various in
terest groups within the
country, such as multi
national firms, unions and
even crime syndicates, and
he compared their actions to
pounding two rocks
together.
“If we keep banging our
heads together we’ll become
the consistency of sand,” he
said, adding that discipline
was the ingredient needed to

“It’s too bad, but I just

Cottrell, chairman of the
Downtown Business
Improvement Area.
He said he had approached
several local businessmen,
as well as the Exeter Lions
and students at SHDHS, but
none would tackle the job.
“People are just too busy,
and I’m not going to knock

need for competent leaders
who could tell others what to
do and then the need for hav

do it because they’ve had
discipline.
“We have to get more dis
cipline into our society. If
we don’t, sooner or later, the
world will have to submit to
the power of military
necessity again.”
He told the veterans and
guests assembled that dur
ing the wars, Canadians had
good discipline on the battle
fields and it was built
basically on mutual respect.
“We’ve got to get it back,”
Rev. Stuart commented.
Noting that the night was
for remembering brave peo
ple and victories, he con
cluded his address by
saying: “please, please, br
