They can be found in London, England, as a Cenotaph, in France as the Arc de Triomphe, and Ottawa has a War Memorial. People at the age of 46 and younger have no knowledge of the Second World War. They have no idea what it meant to have food shortages, or seeing tanks'roll through quiet town streets. They don't know about the loss of life, the loss of freedom, when they see these stones. To those older than 50, these stones remind them of the many thousands of young men who left Canada to join troops in Britain. Many young lives were lost, and the absence' from Canada was often for five years or more. Today a strong movement called Ploughshares has as its objectives to turn tools for warfare into ploughshares. We must make tools for peace, not for warfare. All of us are children of one Father, and God loves all regardless of creed, colour or race. The Son of God went to War, but it was a Holy War. Jesus taught us to turn the other cheek. He stressed the love we have for one another. He call- ed us the Salt of the Earth. As Chris- tians adhering to the principles of Christ, we must love one another. He warned us to be faithful to His rules to love our neighbour as ourselves. Board meeting A fall meeting of the Official Board will be held on Monday, November 16 at 8:30 p.m. at Elimville.
