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 Brussels. Legion as a feature of Remembrance Day sponsored a competition for a suitable essay and. poem, emblematic of the occasion. Winners were Mary Smith for the essay and Bob 13rya.ns for the poem and their entries were reproduced in the Post of Decem- ber 13.

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.
