No one knows this better than war veterans, and so no one was happier when the war ended than the thousands of Canadians who fought in them. But what kind of country did they return home to? It is one of the ironies of the Se- cond World War that the men and women who camel home found that they had transformed their country, even though they had been away from it. Consider some of the things that had happened while they were serving overseas. Canada had gone to war as a producer of raw materials and agricultural goods, and she ended it as one of the world's great manufacturing na- tions. She had started the war as a largely rural country and by its end urbanization had made large strides. Her cities had mushroomed. Other things had happened. When Japan overran the rubber plantations of Asia, Canada promised to produce synthetic rubber. By war's end, 10 plants were in operation and Canadians were turning out 15 kinds of rubber. It was the same kind of story for the vehicle manufacturing in- dustry and so many other things. For Canada's veterans, the return home must have made them feel a bit like Rip Van Winkle did after his long sleep: It was still the same country, but it had, _been transformed. But even if there was some apprehension about the kind of country they would be returning home to, it couldn't hide the joy they felt when the war in Europe ended. Canadians celebrated from coast to coast and in Europe, but perhaps one soldier from British Columbia's Westminster Regiment put it best. He was shaving on VE -Day when he happened to look at his image in the mirror. "Boy", he exclaimed, "am I glad to see you." The changes that the veterans returned home to didn't stop them — or Canadians — from remembering the country's 114,000 war dead. And that is one thing that hasn't changed in the 42 years since the war end- ed. The Legion's Poppy Campaign is just as successful now as it was M 1945. Cana- dians still remember. Ready to RIDE The Ontario Provincial Police RIDE check program for this Christmas and New Years season will commence on Sun- day, November 15. While the Kincardine OPP utilize this program on a year round basis, the RIDE initiative is particularly emphasized over the festive season to aid officers in identifying and removing im- paired drivers from our highways. The objective of the OPP is to staff a minimum of forty RIDE check locations across Ontario everyday, stopping more than 20,000 vehicles daily. During the 1986-87 Christmas and New Years season, 1,193 persdhs were charged with alcohol related offences. An addi- tional 2,938 drivers received 12 -hour suspensions. - The Kincardine OPP urges everyone not to drink and drive. If you drink, show you care and allow a sober person to take you home. Better yet, take a taxi. The cost of a ' taxi could be the greatest investment you'll make this Christmas. That Makes The Difference it's the caring and concern that you get from us, because we know how important your car is to you.
