REMEMBRANCE DAY
By Joan Huether .
Here it is Remembrance Day,
• a day to remember our soldiers
who did not come back from war.
For more than fifty years the
month' of November in the western
part of the world has been a month
of remembering. People every-
. where are wearing poppies.
Poppy-red or blood-red perhaps,
or even dead-black is the symbol
of war.
Across our land various corn-,
munities under the leadership
of local branches of the Canadian
.Legion have this year been mark-
ing the one hundredth anniver-
sary of the birth of John Mc-
Crae, writer of the words:
"In Flanders fields the pop-
pies blow". "To you from fail-
ing hands we throw the torch,"
If you can possibly find a way
to live together preserving both
justice and peace.
"You shall not break faith
with us who die," Also do
everything possible on your part
to live at peace with all men.
It is a day when the "Dying
pause to honour those who live."
When we • wear a poppy we
honour the gallant boy or girl
who went away to war .so that
our country may. be strong' and
free. In the awful fight they
saw and felt bullets, mines, fire,
and pain. Many of these youth-
ful people did not return. Here-
in Canada many mothers of these
brave people are laying wreaths
to-day and, wearing silver cros-
ses in their honour.
It should be a day when we
remember to give thanks to them
for our freedom paid for by their
bravery. Many paid with their
lives so that we and our country
may live in freedom. It should
not be a day away from school
when boys and girls sleep in and
do not attend the service. Neither
should it be a day when child-
ren go skating and do what ever
else children do.
We do not honour the memory
of our country's sons who did not
come back from our country's
wars unless our remembering
can somehow kindle in us new
dedication in showing more
loyalty to our country after all
these years. Many of us know
very little about war, only what
we have read and seen on tele-
vision as we were not born when
it was happening. We may also
have pictures of relatives who
have been the victims of war.
Remembrance Day is judge-
ment on all of us; a judgement
on our failure to understand
what those men bought' for us

with their lives.
Twenty-one years was the
average age at the time of their
deaths of the men of all nations
who were buried in war graves
marked with white crosses.
Have any of us the right to
feel comfortable on Remem -
'Prance 'Day? To save our world
these men donated their lives
and so wear a poppy and think of
them on this one day set aside
by the Canadian Government to
honour them.
"If you can't remember ---
think!"
And once a year we wear poppies
red.
In memory of the fallen dead.
in The one who was in the war might
think.
Of a friend he saw get shot and
sink.
Those were the ones who died,
just for peace.
Look at our world.
Will war never cease?
For the millions who died just
for peace.
Look at our world.
Will war never cease?
What a joyful time when they
came home.
To start new families which would
roam.
But the ones which were killed in
the war.
Their children and wives will see
them no more.
Those were the ones who died
just for peace.
Look at our world.
Will wars never cease?
