Legion, is surely cause for a moment's reflec- tion, for the difficulty in regard to the observance of 1Renembrance Day is not conlfirfed to Seaforth, The letter of the ;Legion infers that the general public is growing indif- ferent to the sacrifices made by the boys who served overseas during the war; that there is not the 'proper hon- our ;given to the soldiers' who gave 'their lives, and to those who came back with afflictions; ttiist fifteen years have almost erased from many ntinsl's the feeling of ind.ebtedine'ss. They fear it is the thin- edge of the wedge of neglect and that future gen- erations will know nothing of Can- ada's part in the wear, The Legion feels that the Canadian public is not "keeping faith." The ex -soldiers Feel /that there Should he ,no question at all about ob- serving Remembrance Day, and that indifference this year will set a bad precedent for future years. That is so. While on the one hand fault may be rightly laid at the 'public's door, it is equally true that some responsi- bility for this: condition most be ac- cepted by the Legion itself, The Legion officials have not taken the public into ,their coinfidenice soffit - ie ntly, Appeals are made each year for funds on `Poppy Day" .and presum- ably targe sums are collected for the appeal is one few can refuse. 11 is natural that contribtators are curious to know-how their •cpntri'brtions are used, what is being dcn'e.

It's, Cummings in a few well chosen remarks welcom- ed the ladies and a reply was given by Miss McKercher of McKillop. After the minuses and business of the meet- ing splendid reports were g'lvear by the different Auxiliaries, as well as .the, Y,'W. Circles and C.G;I.T., also the ,Mission Bands incl !Baby Bands. Af- ter the singing of the hymn, "Where Coss the Crowded Ways of Life," Mrs. Ratteniury of Bruccfield led in prayer. The afternoon session WRS 'opened by the Londesboro Auxiliary.
