forces in the UN command. Some people say that the
Korean conflict does not get as much attention as the
two world wars. ]t say that war is •war. Korea was a
dreadful bloody event where over 500 Canadians paid
the ultimate sacrifice, )( am delighted that, this year, the
Prime Minister has made special mention of the contri-
butions made by our Korean Veterans.
We must, of course, also remember those who contin-
ue to serve, protecting not only our native shores, but
those who keep. the peace in places of turmoil around
the world. For the past half century Canadian service
men andwomen have gone into over 40 of the "hottest"
hotspots on the globe; saving thousands df civilian lives
in the process. Not many Canadians realize this, but
over 100 of our citizens have died while on peacekeep-
ing duty over the years,
We who have never known war owe a tremendous
debt of gratitude to those who spent, their youth in
defence of freedom. Their contribution is now a part of
our history, their legacy part of our heritage. As we
approach the millennium, we owe it to the next genera-
tion to recall the sacrifices of our past heroes. May those
who have gone before have our remembrances, our grat-
itude and may they rest in peace.

Dear editor:
"We freely admit that
we've been powerless with
the local school boards
and the unions to stop the
erosion of education of the
last 10 years," Harris said.
What erosion?
According to my prof at
the University of Western
Ontario, ;'this is a blatant
lie." ofessor L, Kushnier
stated that all the profs in
his department have con-
tinually noticed a steady
improvement, over the
past 10 years in the caliber
of first year students. He
attested to the fact that the
secondary school system
has been working hard at
improving standards, with
this year's "crop" of stu-
dents being the best, So
what gives? Do you
