POPPY DAY 1939 "Poppy Day' --•uniting ' us, in Re- membrance has this year the added significance of being observed whilst we as a nation are at war. The veteran and all other citizens require no reminder that all we have of freedom is dire to those who, in bygone years, sacrificed themselves for our right to live freely. But, with freedom, and all that it im- plies, again the object of 'attack, the younger ones in aur midst will on this occasion be better able to share the Veteran's feeling, and the nature of the obligations that all of this gen- eration are called upon, to share., Veterans are proudly conscious that, through long and difficult post- war years, they worked unceasingly to promote goodwill, that a lasting Peace mmight come, and equally so of the fact that the new threat to liberty found them again ready to .serve in any capacity their country might re- quire. Already many are on Active Service; either with Defence or Aux- iliary Forces; whilst others waiting for an opportunity stand a solid bur work from coast to coast against avert acts, or the promotions of dis- conton1 and disseinition intended its Weaken Canada's determination to take her proper place' in the great conflict which is ahead. The warm-hearted people of Clin- ton are asked to study the following facts concerning the distribution of "Veteraft" Poppies:— All Poppies, Wreaths, etc,, distrib- uted in the Poppy Campaign are manufactured by disabled 'soldiers 'in "Veter'aft" Shops or, in some in- stances by disabled soldiers and their dependent at home, under the Depart- ment of Pensions & National Health.. • The custom of wearing the poppy as the "Flower of Remembrance" 'has continued in eanada since 1923. The Canadian Legion undertakes annually the distribution of these Poppies, Wreaths, etc., throughout the whole of • the Dominion, The National Distribution is parried out through the medium of the Can- adian Legions' Dominion and Prov(in- eial Commands, who are charged with the duty • to see that so far as pos- sible, the Message of the Poppy is carried to, all sections, classes, and communities in 'Canada. The prices 'charged by the Legion are based on cost plus the necessary - expense entailed in National distri- e bution, plus a reasonable margin to n cover risk of loss, for which the Can- n adieu Legion must assume respon- d sibility under its contract with the ✓ Dominion Geverinnent. Any monies remaining in the hands - of Dominion or Provincial Commands s upon completion of distribution arc applied to the maintenance of Canad- • ran Legion Service Work, which is carried on by the Legion for the benefit of all Canadian ex -service men and 'women throughout Canada, whether members of the Legion or not. The entire proceeds of the monies contributed by the public for poppies are spent for relief or other essen- tial assistance to ex -service men and women. The task of nation-wide distribu- tion of these Sacred Emblems is one of great magnitude. The twofold objective, Remembrance of the Glor- ious Dead and practical assistance to the Living, is most worthy. While doing its utmost to assist n in Canada's present war effort, the Canadian Legion must continue to help necessitous victims of the Great War 1914-18. So join with the Legion andive generously on Poppy Day, g November 4th. HURON OLD TIMERS MET AT REGINA .

THE MAGINOT LINE To the imagination and good sense of a former first sergeant in the World War the republic of Franco owes her Maginot. Line, stretching 150 mules along the border facing Germany, which is the strongest de- fensive military wall ever construct- ed by man. Andre Maginot was the Sergeant, who rose to be minister of war in the French cabinet, and for whom the. completed system of fortification wan named. He received the plan, which was adopted after funds for extraord- inary measures of military prepara- tion were voted in 1928. Construction was began shortly thereafter, but Maginot did not live toeee the works completed, as he died in 1932, A ' monument to his memory, has been erected at Fort Souvjllle, 18 miles from, Verdun. The Maginot Line consists of con- tinuous fortifications, including 900 mighty forts, and cost about 150 mil- lion dollars. I•t is considered impreg- nable, so lar as attacks by land are concerned, and it is believed little damage could be done to it by aur raids, as much of the`defensive weak and equipment are underground. Steam and electrie transportation: systems, supply bases, and oommiuni- cation lines are protected in tunnels deep in the earth. Troops, equipment, food and all manner of supplies for the line can be brought to the front by trains 'operatingwholly under- ground and a million men can be garrisoned under its: protection.

Probably most of our read- ers were already practising the boy- cott against Ger.•rnan, goods and hard- ly need to be reminded that the reas- ons for that boycott are now more valid than evier. We hope that they will be vigilant in making sure they do not give as presents this year toys from a land whose present rulera have done more than any one else who ever lived to bring suffering and death to children.
