"Wear A. Poppy For Remembrance?"
tam circumstances have the advantage of
specific legislation, such as war veterans' al-
lowance, • it should be rernembered that 'when
an emergency crops up in any family, speed
is the essential regpirement in providing
assistance.
There are many cases on record with the
Poppy Fund where the necessary assistance
has been forthcoming in a matter of hours.
It should be remembered also that there are
many worthy veterans who hesitate to apply
to any of the organized charities, Many of
them .have twice gone into uniform, and have
given ten years from their productive 'life to
the service of their country. Through the com-
radeship of the Canadian Legion their . needs
are learned, and the assistance is forthcoming.
'It should be remembered too, that while the
Poppy Fund is a national appeal, the money
raised locally is used locally to assist veterans
and their, families.
The Legion slogan "Wear a Poppy for
Remembrance" is a good slogan. • It is one
that deserves the support of every citizen,
ONCE AGAIN this year The Canadian
Legion is asking the people 'of 'Clinton and
district to weer a poppy for remembrance on
Saturday, November 4. This 'is an excellent
appeal, and one that should not be overlooked,
During the years since Col. John McCrae
Wrote the challenging poem, "In Flanders'
Fields," the poppy has taken on a peculiar
significance. It has conte to typify in many
countries of the world the debt which we
who live owe to those who' died in battle.
One day in the year the,people of Canada
are asked to wear a poppy to. show that they
aememiber, One day in the year they , are
asked to pause briefly to honour the deed.
That is little enough. While remembrance of
the dead of the two wars is the spiritual aspect,
of the poppy, there is the other practical pur-
pose of assisting the living, for the money
• raised through the fund is used for emergency
assistance to veterans and to families of
veterans.
While it is true that veterans under eer-
Unnecessary Things
"Why has man the will and power
to make his fellow mourn?"—Robert
Burns
IT IS NOT NECESSARY to establish a new
tyranny in order to destroy an' old one, points
out The Rural Scene.
It is not necessary to destroy the labor
unions in order to correct their abuses. All
that is needed is to deprive them of the 'extra-
territorial powers they wield, and to require
them to observe the laws of the country 'the
same as others do.
It is not necessary to force men to join
unions against their wills, to pay dues to
unions to which they don't belong. Unions
should be voluntary organizations, as they were
in their younger and better days, with6ut
power to coerce unwilling people into joining
them,
It is not necessary to' establish a closed
shop in order to give labor its rights. A closed
shop enables some men to deprive others •of
the right to earn a living, and should be for-
bidden by law.
It is not necessary to require employers
to deduct union dues from their workers.
Willingness to pay one's own dues should be
a condition of membership in any voluntary
organization.
It is' not necessary to deprive employers
of the right to discharge unsatisfactory work-
ers. The employer knows, the job he wants
done and how he wants it done. He should
be free to choose the man to de it and to
change him if unsatisfactory.
It is not necessary to condone lawlessness
in labor disputes or to allow conciliation of-
ficers to settle disputes by promising that law-
breakers will not be prosecuted.
It is not necessary to substitute political
influence fpr collective bargaining in labor
negotiations. Bargaining is bargaining only
so long as both parties are free from intimida-
tion.
It is not necessary to make farm market-
ing schemes compulsory or to deprive farm-
ers of the right to sell their products when-
ever end wherever they think they can sell
to the best advantage.
It is not necessary for the government to
rid the wheat pools of embarrassing compet-
ition by abolishing the open market.
The pools have had a quarter of a century
to show whether they could give the farmers
better service than the open market. If they
are still asking the government to destroy this
competitor, it is en open confession that they
have failed to make good.
Oil Boom
WESTERN CANADA'S :oil industry is ex -
m pending so rapidly this year. writes Gordon
Grant from Calgary in The Financial Post, that
two dollars is expected to be spent on explora-
tion, well drilling, etc., for every dollar
"brought to surface" in the form of oil.
And this huge rate of capital expenditure—
estimated at $150 millions per annum—is en-
tirely exclusive of other great related expendi-
tures: $90 millions for pipeline facilities; $30
millions for additional prairie refining capac-
ity; $4 millions for new tankers,

ernments and the remaining 13 per cent by
the municipalities.
Ten years ego,. the corresponding tax take
was $1,064 million, of which half came by
way of federal taxes; 30 per cent, through

Three Important Literary Awards
Three important literary awards
to be made annually to Canadian'
writers for the best short story,'
article and single poem in English
language publications have been
announced by Dr. G. Edward Hall,
president, University of Western
Ontario, end Franklin Davey Mc-
Dowell, chairman, Governor -
General's Awards Board, Canad-
ian Authors Association. The new
awards will be known as "The
President's Medals, The Univer-
sity of Western Ontario, London"
and the judging has been % en-
trusted to the Governor -Gen-
eral's Awards Board,
Dr. Hell, in announcing the
establishment of the three medals,
said: 'The Sonata and the Board
of Governors of the University
of Western Ontario are extrem-
ely happy in having their offer
of The President's Medals accept-
ed by the Canadian Authors As-
sociation as annual awards for
the best short story, the best
article and the best poem. They
are pleased, too, that the Gov-
ernor -General's Awards Board.
has accepted the responsibility of
judging the competitions.
"It was recognized that the
Governor -General's Medals for
five book classifications and the
Leacock Medals for Humor have
had stimulating influences upon
Canadian authors, But still cer-
tain fields of writing were not
covered. With a course in crea-
tive writing within the honors
course of English language and
literature and. en honors course
in journalism, it was only nat-
ural that this university should
wish to encourage Canadians in
those fields of writing presently
without recognized competitive
awards. The university as a
whole is privileged in being able
to participate in the stimulation
of Canadian arts and letters,"
Dr. W. G. Hardy, en Edmonton
author of international standing,
wrote: "As President of the
Canadian Authors Association, I
Should like to express the deep
appreciation of the Association to
the University of Western On-
tario for its outstanding contri-
bution to Canadien letters. I feel
that these three medals will be
a great encouragement to Can-
adian writers and to the offic-
ers of the Canadian Authors As-
sociation."

winners, last year, four were
non-members of the Authors As-

leading writers were included in

WINTER—HART
(By our,Bayfield correspondent)
A wedding of interest to many
in this community took place in
St. James -Bond United Church,
Toronto, on Saturday, October 7,
when Helen Muriel, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Morley Hart„ be-
came the bride of Bruce Ogden
Winter, son of Mrs. Winter and
the late Dr. Ogden Winter. The
service was conducted by Rev.
George McMullen, assisted by
Rev. Bruce Millar.
The bride, given in marriage
by her father, wore a gown of
white brocaded silk. Her veil of
tulle illusion was gathered to a
matching halo and she carried a
bouquet of gardenias, fleur d'-
ameur and stephanotis.
Attending the bride were
Margaret Will, maid of honor;
Ruth Rawlings and Muriel Rit-
chie. All were gowned in grad-
uating shades of pink taffeta,
with matching headdresses, and.
carried bouquets of roses and
tinted 'mums.
Douglas Humphreys was best
man, and the ushers were Charles
Winter and Charles Hart.
The guests, including many
from out of the city, were re-
ceived at Wymilwood. The bride's
two grandmothers, Mrs. Charles
Hart, Picton, and Mrs, George
King, Bayfield, were both pres-
ent, and it was to the latter that
she tossed her bouquet as she
and the groom left to board a
plane for a honeymoon in New
