POPPY DAY
(Seaforth Legion)
Last year, Canada remembered her
war dead in so inspiriega fashion at
Vimy—the memorial itself, the Pil-
grimage of veterans and mothers and
wives, the participation of the ;King,
the 'President of the French R'epu'b-
lice, the !!.'rime 'Minister --that every
Canadianmust feel pride in a duty so
wholly acid beautifully done.
Sotue expression of that :feeling is
very likely to be made .by Canadians
on November llltth this year when,
with the appeal of the poppy fiend, the
opportunity is given to render some
measure of gratitude to .those who,
one might say. fell in the war but did.
not die.
For that, in effect, is what happen-
ed 'to many 'thousands of Canadian
young mets. Wounded, datnaged in
body and spirit, those multitudes of
our 'fel'low men have survived twenty
years of ,pain and handicap, of 'dis-
tress, frustration and disappointment
in the daily ,race of life, .regardless of
all the help government and municip-
alities can devise ,far thettt. On the
base of the indescribably beautiful
