LEOTARDS by Trimf it From Infants to Ladies sizes Cable Stich Plains Tartans FIRST PRIZE BY SHELLEY WRIGHT What is the real meaning of November 11th? Now as we stand almost on the brink of a third world war, we are wonder- Inge Like all our other holidays it seems to have lost much of its meaning and is conveniently moved to a week-end to ac- commodate town people who enjoy a longer holiday. Its real meaning should be a look back, with grateful hearts to many brave Canadians who served, suffered and died that we might enjoy freedom. We gather for remembrance services that we may honour those who fell at Ypres, Dieppe, Normandy and in the Korean war. Many served by land, sea and in the air. Others contri- buted to our freedom, but did not pay the supreme sacrifice -- disabled veterans and their families are also honoured and remembered. The poppy grows in Flanders Fields over the graves of our brave soldiers, This makes it a real symbol for Remembrance Day. The red is for the blood which was shed and the black centre stands for death. As we look around at our beautiful country, fine homes, recreational centres, we should at least say, "Thank you", to our brave men who preserved our nation. Especially this year many of us have an op- portunity to visit Expo -- and all of us may take part in cele- brations at home. By supporting the Legion in their wonderful work, buying Prize winning Remembrance Day. essays in Howick Legion contest a poppy and wearing it proudly we try to remember our heroes. It means remembering the dead and helping the living. My only wish is that we could help them everyday and not just one. What should Remembrance Day ceremonies mean to us, as students? We are young and do not remember the last war - yet it wasn't so long ago. Many brave boys left class- rooms to serve and died with- out ever reaching their 21st birthday. In future, as we stand for two minutes of silence, let us remember the dead of all na- tions who fought for our free- dom. REMEMBRANCE DAY Remembrance Day Comes every fall To be remembered By one and all, Our heroes fought And many died, So we have freedom On every side. We buy a poppy, As a token of love To help those loved ones, Of soldiers above. Let's be generous And try to repay Those who need aid For Remembrance Day. SECOND PRIZE BY TERRY BRIDGE A bugle sounds and two minutes of silence have ended. On November eleventh, each year, we commemorate the thousands of men and youths who died in the World Wars so our beautiful country could remain free. Have you ever actually won- dered why we still keep Re - membrance Day? What passes through your own mind during those two minutes, In the World Wars, bombs were drop- ped, soldiers, women and children were killed. Homes were destroyed. Many men and boys who left home to become soldiers and to join battle, came home to their families. Many more -- did not. They could not. Why? -- because they had given their own lives to allow the rest of their people and their coun- try to have the free rights they possess today. When your head is bowed for those two silent minutes, think about, and say a little prayer for all the brave and courageous men who died, At nearly every Remem- brance Day service we attend, you will probably recognize the touching old poem, "In Flanders Fields". McRae, the poet of "In Flanders Fields", wrote the poem just before he died, on the back of a letter he had received from his dear, sick mother. All school children are given poppies, (the flowers of remembrance) on Remembrance Day. They are provided by everyones' friends, -- Legion members. Yes, we have witnessed many, many Remembrance Day services, but still one may think there was really no need for the World Wars. Personally, I think war is EUB minister and laymen attend Bruce Presbytery A number of new faces turn- ed up at the last meeting of Bruce Presbytery, held in Luck- now recently. They were the ministers and lay delegates from 'the Evangelical.United Brethren Church, which is to become part of the United Church of Canada at the begin- ning of next year. This will mean that Bruce Presbytery will not only increase in member- ship, but will also expand in area, as the E.U.B. churches in Clifford and Hanover have elected to belong to it, rather than to the Guelph and Grey constituencies. In its business sessions, Pres- bytery heard a number of inter- esting reports. Rev. Ed. Ro- nayne told the court about a special meeting which had been held in Chesley to study the question of bishops in the United Church of Canada. Al- though no decisions were reach- ed at the meeting, there was a lot of good discussion. It was felt that the inclusion of bishops in the United Church's concil- iar system might be a more ef- fective way of dealing with some concerns, as well as a means of opening the way to union with churches which hold the episcopal order. George Trigger, lay supply at Tobermory, reported on two conferences on World Mission, at which he represented Presby- tery. There, the speakers ex- pressed concern for a greater emphasis on missionary educa- tion in the churches and in Presbytery. Rev. Keith Wett- laufer of the E.U.B. Church in Mildmay gave a brief resume of the outreach of his denom- ination, pointing out that most of it was concentrated in var- ious areas of the United States. Referring to a filmstrip depic- ting the Home Mission work of the United Church, he express- ed appreciation for coming to know something of the church's Mission within Canada. The court was also told about two banquets held re- cently in Wiarton and in Walk- erton at which David Eadie, who it an industrial consultant for the church in India, was guest speaker. James K. Courtney, lay supply at Allenfotd, reported on attending a conference on the Village and Country Church, and drew some highlights from talks delivered by Rev. Find- lay Stewart of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Churdh, Kitchen- er. Thete included pointers on how to have a vital cerigree gatiotial life and how the etititch can reach Out beyond the buildings. definitely unnecessary. World leaders of different countries, could and should, talk out their differences among them- selves. There is actually no cause for them to bring their people, who don't want war into war, Upon closing, I would like to remind each and every per- son that when Remembranbe Day comes, do buy some pop- pies. The money you give, is given to the many War Ampu- tees who have lost a limb or more in the Wars, Remembrance Day is, and shall probably always be, re- membered by us as Canadians. THIRD PRIZE BY RICKEY CLARKE On the cenotaph of our local grave yard are inscribed the names of heroic men who didn't make it home. "Home" to families; "Home" to a free nation; and "Home" to a brigh- ter future, Most of them have been forgotten, but, we don't forget famous politicians or great statesmen so why should we forget men who laid down their lives for the safety and well being of a "nation" they loved - a nation which was their home. Every November the ele- venth on the eleventh hour, people take two minutes sil- ence. (To some it is just another boring ordeal, but, those who appreciate their na- tion bow their heads solemnly, thinking of all those men; all those brave, heroic and un- selfish men who died in action fighting bravely for a land they loved.) A land whose beauty remained as a picture in their hearts. Most of these men didn't have to go. They could have stayed home and lived safely away from danger and death. They knew that the nation in which they lived had been built by the deeds of heroic men. That's why they went. Off to entangle with the forces of destruction. Forces that meant pain and death, But, neVertheless, they went. Old men along With young Men marched hand in hand on the call of duty. To the younger ones it was a challenge. A chance to make all those dreams come true. A chance for bravery and valour. But, these were no dreams. Dreams are made from imagination but bullets aren't. Of course many came back to the land they loved and were well rewarded. But, what about the others? They weren't necessarily smart or popular but they proved their bravery. They had something to come back to, Something that is unestimated in our hearts. A liking for a nation they had learned to love and a liking for people who loved them. A man wrote a poem once. A poem which caused many a tear, for it contained the evi- dence of war, War with its pain and war with its destruc- tion. The name of it was -- In Flanders Fields -- In Flanders Fields the poppies grow. This is how it starts. What are pop- pies? To some people it is just another flower that has to be watered and attended to but actually it was the poppy which brought beauty to war and a tribute to death. Of all the flowers God created this must be the most distinguished. They cover the mounds of earth with an air of dignity. Surely this is God's way of bringing beauty to war. Beneath these mounds of earth are the remains of scar- red and battered bodies, eaten away in time. Bodies of men who once laughed like us and talked like us, but no more exist, in this world, But these are proud men who gladly gave up their lives for a cause well worth it. When you bow your head next November the eleventh think over what has been said in many history books but has been expressed more vividly by the free nation which now rises higher in civil standings and a nation that promotes peace. Peace that will rule the world someday. It will even rule war. War that kills and cripples. Don't forget to "REMEMBER" yes "REMEMBER".

Appointed as bank manager Vernon T, Inglis of le Bide- ford Avenue, Toronto, younger son of Mr. and Mrs, F. Inglis of the 17th of Howick, has re- ceived his first appointment as bank manager at a new branch of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce on Eglinton Avenue West, in Toronto, Vernon started his banking career in Wroxeter in July of 1958 at the age of seventeen.

Santa's sleigh "Santa's Packing His Sleigh' is a quiet Christmas game that provides fun and hearty laughter. It starts simply enough with one member of the group saying, "Santa's packing his sleigh, and he's bringing a toy dog." Then each person repeats the sentence, adding another gift to Santa's sleigh. The object of the game is to re- peat correctly, in order, the complete list of gifts in Santa's sleigh --.and it's harder than it sounds. As the list gets longer and longer, more and more play- ers just can't seem to remem- ber the whole list and its or- der, so consequently they drop out, until only one is left. Rod and growl, symbolic colors The traditional colors of the Christmas season are red and green. Yet. These eolerS have meant different things to different people over the ages. Color has been used as the symbol of abstract ideas from time immemorial, It, early and medieval Christian art colors had a mys- tic or symbolic meaning. Red indicated passion. In its good sense it was a symbol of divine energy and love and the crea- tive power of the Holy Spirit; in its bad sense it was a sign of hate. In that meaning it became an emblem of Satan. Emerald green is often the symbol of hope and growth in many Christian paintings. Colors played an important role in medieval magic and superstition. For example, the famous "philosopher's store," which the alchemists thought would turn base metals into gold and cure all diseases, was thought to be colored red, according to the Encyclopedia Americana. Red was also a favorite curative color in more recent superstitions. Green was a sacred color among the ancient and med- ieval Egyptians who wore it as a symbol of hope and the joy of spring.

HOLIDAY GREENERY BRIGHTENS HOMES Home decorations are not complete without holiday greenery about the house. The best choices include spruce, pine, hemlock, yew and abor- vitae. Of these, yew seems to hold up best. If you use broadleaf ever- greens -- laurel, andromeda, boxwood, or Japanese holly •-- for table decorations, keep them in water or the leaves will shrivel and die within a short time. Even though short last- ing, broadleaf evergreens are ideal for making wreaths. For this purpose, they may be mixed with holly, balsam or yew.
