The Gov- ernment ordered that that day thauld be observed as "Armistice Day." For many years this custom was carried out in loving memory of the 66,500 anadians who gave their lives that we might have freedom. The general public, at that time, had no thought that there would ever • be another war. That Aeries of battles In our minds was the war which would end war. The Geneva Confer- ence was formed by representatives feora all nations involved. At the sitting of that 'conference all matters of vital importance to the different countries were to be discuesed and everything possible done to prevent any return a the terrible chaos through which the world had passed. It was not many years until Ger- many showed unmistakable signs of disagreeing with different ap- positions 'which would in any way in- volve them. In 'spite a warning of some of the British diplomats that Germany was re-arnling she was al- lowed to proceed and the breach be- tween her and the allied forces grad- ually widened until it seemed inevit- able that war was again arieroaehing. As Prime Minister of Britain, Neville 'Chamberlain made several trips to Germany to see if something could not be done to straighten mat • ters out. Each time he would return to Britain with ethe news that peace had been again established but there was no peace and on 'September 1, 1939, Germany- .commenced World War II by entering Poland. The tragedy and cruelty of World War 131 far surpassed that of World War 1, although the number of lives lost was not so great. Several na- tions joined with Germany in the awful struggle, principal among these were Italy and japan, Septena ber 3, 1943, Italy surrendered un- conditionally and Mussolini, the Fas- cist leader met a horrible heath at the hands of enemies, in his own miuntry. Japan fought on until Sep- tentber 2, 1945, when she surrendered following the destruction of two of her cities by the "most devestating. destructive force ever known to man, .the atomic bomb." .! Hon. Winston Churchill said at the !time in reference to the atomic bomte !"By God's mercy, British and Ameri- • can •seienee outpaced all German ef- forts," There has been much 'discus- ( sion since •that titne re the pros and 'cons of the atomic bomb but the facts have come to light since those days that had the Allies not used this powerful force, the armies of the enemy would in all probability have destroyed a great part of Civilization with the same discovery or its equiv- alent. An Amerioan preacher, epeak. ing in Toronto receritly, asked the qpestion: "What influence will the atomic bomb as used in the two Japanese cities have on Minion work of the future?" The question now peominent in the minds of thinking people, is "are we going to get away withoet World War III?" We read that the 'United Nations Conference now being held in New York ,began its work without prayer, the reason given being the faet that so many different religions were represented. It is common knowledge that the Geneva Confer- ence at the close of World War I, be. gan without prayer. Credit must be given to President Truman that at the close of his opening address, he acknowledged God as the Leader of all Nations. We can all have a part in that momentous conference by praying to God that He will direct the representatives of the different nations in such a way that peace terms will be formed agreeable to all nations and that the dread of World War III may be swept away. As we look forward to "Remem- brance Day" which will commemor- ate the heroic sacrifice of all who gave their lives, in World War I and World War II, and also those who were willing to do so, our sympathy goes out to the parents and families from whose homes loved ones went but did not return. May God comfort their sad hearts and may they find a consolation in the fact 'that those dear to them would not want them to grieve. May they have a feeling a pride in their supreme samifice on behalf of humanity. The heroes who fell during World War 1 threw to us a torch with the rquest that we -would keep, faith The next meeting of the Huron County Council will be held in the COUNCIL CHAMBERS, COURT HOUSE, GODERICH, commencing Monday, November 18th at 2.00 p. m.

We have drifted farther from God that we ever were before and yet we expeet lihn to care for us. How foolish of us to expect such con- sideration. The world will have to come back to the God who levee us before we can expect Hire to help us. There is no one else who can give us strength to go on from day to day, butmi many in the world now have utterly forsaken Him. If we honor and obey Him He will do the same for us, but should we forsake Him, we cannot expect any consideration from Him, How true that is in all branchee of life today.

TYNDALL A large newel was in attendance at the funeral of Loren Thomas Tyndall, held on Saturday afteinoon Oct. 26, at two o'clock, at the Beattie Funeral Home. Rev. W. J. Woolfrey of Ontario St. United Church, offic • iated with interment taking place in Clinton 'Cemetery. Pallbearer were six gaandsons: Harold, Keith, Loren, Jack, Clifford and Weldon Tyndall. Flower bearers were three grandsons, 1301100 and Kenneth Tyndall and D'Arey Rathwell and William Jenkins. In his 86th year, Mr. Tyndall was born at Port Hope, a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Tyndall, on August 16, 1861, in early manhood he came to Blyth, later going to Whitechurch, and quite soon after coming to Hullett Township where he resided until two years ago when he moved into Clinton. At that time, he moved into town with his brother, the late Arthur Mendel], who died very suddenly two days beer. Me. Tyndall had not enjoyed very good health for almost two years and his death occurred October 24, in Clinton Public Hospital, where he had been a patient for several weeks 1, In religion he was 'Methodist and `e later United •Ohureh, being a, valued 17. member of Ontario St. United Church, ainfliwaehsi.ch he had held a number of - As a young man he was married to eNora Stevens who predeceased him in e February, 1940. ,Surviving are four t sons and one daughter—Frei*, Ha- g lett Township; Roy, Goderich Town- s: ship; Norman, Clinton; Clifford, Tor - a onto; and Mary; Mrs. Howard Tre- warbha, Hallett Township, One son, Fred, predeceased his father by sese ' eraI years. There are 19 grandchild- ren tied six great-grandchildren, also surviving. a barrier n our catching the tore which our fallen comrades hav thrown to us. Perhaps at no time i the world has that element of se been so prominent. All world con ditions are secondary t� personal a fairs. We cannot throw that charg on someone else, and try to exclud ourselves. Everyone of us mus acknoweldge that we are guilty an as Adolph Hitler, -the fuehrer of Ger many and his henchmen have pee the penalty of their dastardly cruelte, and cowardice, so we will be judged probably not by an earthly tribunal' but by A higher power for our selfish- ness in thinking of ourselves rather than of the 'torch which was thrown to us by those who gave their lives that we might live in a land free from barbarism. We cannot give too much honor to those brave men and women Who thought not of themselves, Many of those Who came home from World War H as well as some of World War I, are living and will live lives of intenee suffering, both physic- ally and mentally. Brave as they are, some have wished that -God had seen fit to take them while on the battlefield. To those we extend our sympathy. The main cause of the trouble and restlessness rampant at thus time is that we will not like Mary sit at the feet of Jesus and learn of Him. We lack one thing really needful in our lives, that is the love of God. We do not know what is ahead of us iu world affairs. That is in God's keep. ing. He will see to that, but we must pray that Ile will be our Guide and also that He will lead and strengthen those who are endeavoeing to plan for the futime. May He lead them into closer fellowship with Him. Christ lives and He will rule in His own way which will he best for us. There is still in the minds of Me leaden of some nations the thought that they must get but not give. Again that brings back the thought of self. We must hope and pray that those who represent these countries will quietly talk these matters over until an agreeable settlement can be reach- ed. Our part of it is to pray without ceasing. So many of us think we have no pert but we have a very im- portant mission. One cannot help but feel that Jesus Christ should be in- vited to tage part in these all-imoprt- ant discussions. Without Hint nothing can proceed according .to His will. Should we have World War III, we will have no one but ourselves to One more can be one too many Even Hydro cannot always find immediate room for one more consumer. Present demands for Hydro power tcrxes existing facilities to the utmost. This is due to ever-increasing use of low-cost Hydro service plus necessarily restricted Hydro construction during and since the war. Shortage of materials and equip- ment makes it impossible to speedily accomplish expansion long since planned. Lines and transformers now serving any one district can carry just so much power, Wherever that capacity is being completely used by present consumers, addition of new customers could be made only at the expense of service fo the old, until new materials for extensions are obtainable. This condition applies in 'city, town and country. Everything possible is being done to overcome it. New equipment is being installed as fast as it becomes available. Your Hydro Commission trusts and believes you will recognize the facts; and assist, by your patient co-operation, in the orderly restoration of the prompt service that your Hydro always strives to maintain. In the meantime, Jet your Hydro know as early as possible of any planned substantial increase in your power needs, and use this lowe' cost servant wisely. * * GEORGE R.

Surviving are four sons and blame for it. When World War I was finished, a beautiful poem which will go down through the ages "In Flanders Fields" was written by a Canadian doctor, lohn MoOrae. A Remembrance Day thought 'would not he complete with- out pointing the way to ,Tesus Christ who will freely give us the salvation which will entitle us to an everlasting home in the Realm over which He is Ruler, and the quoting of said poem, What a joy it is to parents sisters and brothers, to know that their dear 01103 are safe with Christ. It is for us to accept Christ and be prepared to meet those whom we have loved and lost but only for a little time. WIII we not think this over carefully and make our decision in efavor 04 believing in Christ and accepting Rini at once. "In Flanders Fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, atill bravely singing fly, 'Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead, short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were leered, now we lie In Islander's fields, Take up our cemerel with the foe, To you from falling hands we throw The torch. Be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us 'who die We shall not sleep, though poppies blow In Flander's fields."
