INDIANS HAVE GOOD RECORD,
An enlistment of 3,000 men in- a
county with.a population of 44,000 is
a good record, hut we doubt if any
part of Canada can equal the record
of enlistments in the Indian reserva-
tions of this county. In Cape Crok-
er out of 67 men of military age 63
volunteered and ,1 r
7 were accepted, 53
went overseas, 6 are dead on the
field of honor and 22 were wounded.

'l'lie War Memorial, whatever forhn
it takes; is to be an. everlasting token
of thduke to the man Who threw
down his tools, climbed down from
his office stool or turned away from
bis plough and went to war. To the
lean who bore the .mud, withstood
the sb lI , • grinned whom he went
down and came hack twice as strong;
to the men who for two, three or
four years did • all these things but
fell 'ere the task was linisbed. To
his honor is this pillar of stone,
this roll of trees or verdant parte
to be dedicated. •
'!'here was another man : he left
the shop, ,the farm and .the place and,
wont away, and he too -saw the mud,
the shells and the war with all its
horrors, lie also went on ,and on and
with God's help saw' it through. He
doesn't claim t)ls life as his -own.
When the last gun fired its last shell
ho lifted his eyes Heavenward for
abriefmoment, and uttered this short
prayer, "God I thank Thee ;" and
his eyes filled with tears and he
thought of Bill who a day, a week
or a year ago, had marched at 'his
side, dear old laughter -loving Rill/
The ground in which 11e }i'as buried
had a short while ago been in pos-
session of the enemy and Oh t God
how he had fought to regain that
precious soil. And as he returned
home on the transport amid the
merriment of a thousand hearts, hub-,
Wing over with the jubilant spirits
of happy expectation, he felt the
tears start once more, and across
the moon -lit waters he saw again a
mound of earth, a bunch of wilted
flowers, and a :mull radiant white
cross and it all meant --Bill.
And now he sits at his desk, a
thousand utiles from war and yet --
once more it conies, no _longer tears
hut that far -away look which no one
but himself shall ever understand.
True, 11; is sentiment, every hit
of it, but is there a man living who
dare ridicule such sentiment ?
I wonder : • Would this sentiment
be considered when you area Bill's
memorial ? Would the suggestions
and the desires of the man who came
back be considered when you decide,
what shall be Bill's everlasting monu-
ment. Will you for once forget •to
be practical and let sentiment direct
your choice ?
A park would be a splendid ac-
quisition to any town, to be called
Memorial Park would also be praise-
worthy, but it would be useful and
practical, and some day some ono
would forget that it was a memorial
and would think of it only as a
lovely park.
Trees, planted in loving memory
of Sleeping Heroes, is commendable
and it' has been adopted in mare than
one town, but that, too, is that not
practical ? Ten years from now,
which will you do : Look in rever-
ence upon them as you pass and
think of the ones they represent, or
admire their stately )

of their true meaning ? 13e honest.
(,Teat Britain has had many heroes,
men dear to a whole nation, soldiers,
sailors and statesmen. Their, mem-
ory rests forever in the hearts of
every Englishman. But their mater-
ial memorial in almost every case
has been a simple pillar of rack which
will stand forever and ever and
which presents by its sturdy, stead-
fast front the quality of the service
rendered by the man whose name it
bears. This is the desire of the men
who carne hack, It is not shouted
from every platform. Modesty has
laid a quieting finger upon many lips
that would speak, but he knows, this

3Iiss Ella Darroch, who has very
successfully taught in S.S. No. 4
for the past two years, having re-
signed to take a higher position, was
the recipient from her pupils of sev-
eral pieces of beautiful silverware ac-
''')mpanied by the fallowing address
' "Dear Miss Darroch, --On the eve

Miss Darroch replied hi a fooling
manner and also . presented every
child with something to remember
her by. The afternoon was spent in
a pleasant manner. 111.r. Dan Reuger,
who always .seems to know just what
to do at the proper time, took his
gramophone over to the :school and
entertained the children and teacher
for a while. Miss Darroch will be
very much missed in this section.
