Barney On justice Dear Editor, ' Who ".likes to Bufferin - justice? Are we not indignant or angered when someone does injustice to us? . 'indeed, injustice seems to strike -at the very foundation of any co-operative relationship, whether this is between manand wife, business partners, labor and management, the governed . and those governing, or between .nations. If the one party . is continually doing injustice tothe other party, a co-operative relationship will break down and often end in violence. Our western industrialized society, and the benefits that we derive .from it, will not be possible when the general population no longer believes in our understands the im- portance of being just to the persons that we dehl with.

The key word is "happy". Perhaps then, November 11 should be set a'side`as a time to remember ... , a day on which two minutes or longer at the 11 o'clock hour would b'e observed to remember, the horror of war. That's history. Then, during the warmer months perhaps, a Freedom Day might be declared ... a • day 'to ' be happy, a • day to rejoice in •our freedom, a day to march and to dance and to. sing and to have fun in sheer gratitude to the thousands of men and women who gave their all for it. That's ' the . "now" of history. They died for our freedom. They died for our rifhts, our happiness. Let's not per- petuate the morbidity of war, thought we should not ever forget. Instead,• let's rejoice in the good life we enjoy now ' because men and,women over the years have. fought, and died to make it possible.
