The Canadian Legion's national poppy, cam-
paign is a debt to the, dead and a duty to the
living. In perpetuating the memory of the, war
dead, it focuses attention, on the awful conse-
quences or war. It tries to give meaning to the
sacrifice• Made,by some 1P0,000-Canadians who died
in war.
Each year the poppy earripalgri, and the subse-
quent wearing of the poppy at thousands of ceno-
taphs, says, in effect: "This is the•price a nation
pays for war." To the more than four-and-a-half
million Canadians the war is hearsay, the •product
of old newsreels which they occasionally see on
military anniversaries. These Canadians are our
youth.
Watching death on a TV sereen is one thing,
Unfortunately it appeals to the sense of drama
in youth, but the solemnity of the, Remembrance
ceremony, the living grief of those who were left
behind, these are the- things which can be more
emphatic than movies and the magazines which
glamorize war;
The ceremony at the eenotaph, is real. It is
"The Legionary"
an immediate and'persenal experience which takes
the obseiver beyond the final fade-Opt of the
movie, or the last panel in a comic book where
the hero has gone to a glorious death.
Each. Legion member has a duty *to see that
the'youth in his community cornea closer to seeing;
feeling and knowing the anatomy of• war. One
way of doing this is to ask students to investigate
the names 'on the local honour roll, Who were
these people? How did they differ from them-
selves? •
Ask today's teen-agers to listen to the music of
We pre-war era. This was the music of the dead,
It throbbed with the restlessness rhythm 'of youth;
it jumped with their 'exhuberance, and , it sighed

During the past ten years our

swung into close parallel with that
of the United States, but there is
hardly cause, as yet, to assume either
that the British have taken leave of
*their senses or that they have suddenly
thrown, morals to the winds.
We might well recall that Britain
has a well-founded history of careful
diplomatic procedures; that wherever
and whenever possible the British have
tried to sustain the underdog; that

The league was originally suggest-
