R. S. , ATKEY, Editor A. L. COLQUHOUN, Plant Manager THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1951 Remembrance Day On Sunday ceding the community service, were well - attended, too. St. Andrew's Presbyterian* Church, where the Canadian Legion held its parade, was filled to capacity, and that -is something rarely attained in a Town Hall service. Each year, when November 11 does not fall on a Sunday, there is considerable argu- ment as to whether or not there should be a full holiday, or a partial Holiday. And we do not think there should be any difference , of- opinion whatever regarding such a matter. The NEWS -RECORD would like to see Remembrance Day held every year on a Sun- day—preferably .preferably the Sunday nearest November 11, What could be more fitting than that it should be held on he Sabbath? To us, the mere date November 11 does not matter very much; it is the spirit of the thing that really counts. THIS. YEAR—and it doesn't ' occur very o ften --Remembrance Day was marked in Clinton, Bayfield, Hensall, Goderich and other centres, on Sunday: True, November 11, 1951, happened to fall on a Sunday, and the Can- adian Legion branches, clergy and civic auth- orities, `decided to hold the usual community' Service of Remembrance on that day. Paying of solemn tribute, to the departed of two World Wars was done on the Sabbath, which is as it should be. In Clinton, at any rate, arrangements were well carried out in cooperation with the churches, with the result that the community service at the Cenotaph was the best -attended in many years, and pos- sibly was one of the most effective for some time, sincerely expressing 'the tribute of the people to the memory of the young men who bad sacrificed their lives for their country. By all accounts, the church services pre - Why Not "Kingdom" Of Canada? APPARENTLY, the Government at Ottawa _plans statutes termminate the d books and leave onlyn theion" from the word "Canada" to carry the mail. That was made abundantly clear by the Leader of the Government, Rt. Hon. Louis St. Laurent, in the course of a debate in the House of Commons Thursday evening last. Incident- ally, the debate stemmed from a rather' Innocuous -appearing '•proposal to repeal the "Dominion Lends Survey Act" and substitute therefor the "Canada, -Land Surveys Act." The Prime Minister minced no words nor meaning when he said "This government be- lieves that the majority of the Canadian people feel that it is a privilege to be a Canadian citizen end are quite satisfied to be described as such instead of being described as citizens of. a dominion." The NEWS -RECORD has no Quarrel what- ever with Canadians being very proud of be- ing Canadians and of Canada. In fact, we are of that ilk. But what alternative does. the Government propose? As far as we can see, it suggests • a vacuum—no alternative at all! just nothing. , We think that is very foolish and carrying j things rather far, for every nation in the world, within our knowledge at least, possesses some designation such as . "Republic"or "Union",or "Commonwealth", or "Kingdom", or somthing. The Statute of Westminster, in 1926, established Canada's status, as a - Kingdom . ‘ within the British Commonwealth of Nations. It so happens that the King of Great Britain is our King;• and we have no quarrel with that. All we should' like to see come about is the recognition of the term "Kingdom" as belonging rightfully to Canada, as well as to Great Britain or any other nation within the Commonrvvealth if it desires to recognize the King. Incidentally, India and Pakistan do not, but they still remain members of the Commonwealth, so elastic is the interpretation. Let us not fool around and split hairs over the meaning and implication of the term of "Dominion". Let us speak the truth and call our country the "Kingdom of Canada" as it really is! A Royal Residence In Canada THEIR ROYAL HIGHNESSES the Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh are now on the sea on their way home to England. They left Monday afternoon from Newfound- land and should arrive in England shortly. In her farewell message to the people of Canada, the Princess said in part: "It is not easy to say good -by because, although I am happy to be returning to my, family and my children, I am also leaving a country swhich has become a second home in every sense. "Wherever we . have been throughout the ten provinces, in your great cities, in your towns, in your villages, and indeed in almost every mile that we have travel- led through fields, forests, prairies and mountains we have been welcomed with a warmth of hearth that has made us feel how truly we belong to. Canada. "Nor is At easy to say thank you, be- cause no words of mine can express what. I would like. to tell you. We have seen and heard so much that has moved our imaginations and touched our hearts. "Destiny has given me the privilege of being able to live my life for the ser- vice of that brotherhood (the Common- wealth of Nations); in the five weeks You have given me a new strength and inspiration which I know will always help me in the future. For that I thank you and say, not good -by, but au revoir." Truly great words and worthy sentiments, are those quoted above, uttered by a young woman possessing a sincere purpose and a full realization of her destiny. What we would like to point out is that the young. Princess feels that Canada "has become a second home in every dense." `Why not make it a reality? Let Canada provide our Royal Family with an appropriate residence in this country—so that members of the reigning family could visit us when ,they feel like it and have the time to do it. However, we should be careful in what we do in this regard. Toronto Saturday Night points out in its current issue, 'lit is true that Canada has no experience in building palaces for monarchs, end has made some very hor- rible mistakes in building other unusual types of structure. Nevertheless we feel that Can- adian architects are making progress, and that even Canadian politicians are not quite so easily led into aesthetic aberrations as they were a generation ago. And we have one con- sideration very strongly in mind. ' Owing to the advanced state of the science of heating and air-conditioning in this hemisphere, Can- ada would probably be able to turn out a residence which, whatever its purely aesthetic quality, would be so vastly more comfortable than anything available to Royalty in the British Isles that any members of the reigning family would be anxious to spend as much time as possible in it in future years." Who is going to take the lead to provide Canada's Royal Family with a real Canadian home in Canada? 1 Too Formidable A Danish teacher told an inter- viewer that all his students were' strongly in favor of the defence program and the ,Atlantic Pant, This result, he claimed, had not been accomplished by lectures appealing to•their patriotism. The teacher simply chalked the en- tire Russian alphabet on the blackboard. New Kind of Music A 'six-year-old neighbor boy had attended his first piano con- cert held in a very small audi- torium. After the performance he went with his parents back stage to speak with the guest artist. Upon being asked how he had enjoyed the music, he re- plied, "The rhythm was good, but I didn't like the noise." No Fence for Him «A young father, leaving for the Army, informed his small son with mock solemnity that he was now the head of the house. After the youngster had care- fully digested this startling bit of information he went to his mdther and said, "Moe Die, I want a new bed, and I^ want one that doesn't have a fence around it."
