gree the pioneering spirit of the Can-
adian home missionafy. His experi-
ences along the line of the Hudson
Bay Railway during the construction
,period and his work in the port of
Rev. Samuel Martin.
Churchill itself before and during the
clearing of the tewnsite of Canada's
new maritime outlet has been unique
and thrilling.
Rev. "Sam" Martin, as he is known
to construction men in the northland,
has had. unusual opportunity to study
the romantic history and the econ-
omic possibilities of Churchill. There
is great public interest in his story of
the men who endured rnany hardships
to push the line through to Hudson

citizens were not, and we were not
making the best of our resources. For
eximple, the speaker referred to our
fuel, shoes and clothing, vehich was all
produced. Canada,. but when manu-
factured, were principally of foreign
material. He thought it had been a
mistake to allow our new settlers to
ettle in colonies, as in this way they
.etained their own methods, and
vete much ha.rded to Canadianize. In
ortclusion, he stated, he thought
here was a splendid opportunity for
is, as Catadians, to broaden out, se-
ttee greater markets, the reason that
ve were trading with a country was
0 reason that we had to adopt their
nethods, Rev, K. MacLean expressed
is appreciation for the splendid ad-
ress, saying, that he thought Rev.

POPPY DAYS
NOVEMBER 10th, 11th
The symbolism of the poppy, the
sorrowful appropriateness •of its
blood -red bloom, takes on a deeper
significance with each sacceeding
year. The Great War is passing al-
most into legend; a generation is be-
queathed the duty of carrying into
the years that have yet to come the
work and the ideals of those whom
the Poppy commemorates.
Canada has adopted the Poppy as
a symbol because of the 60,000 grav-
es in France and Belgium in which
lie the dead, of the preceeding gen-
eration, because of the 170,000 Can
-
adieus to whorn the conflict brought
disablement of one kind or another.
The crosses in the cemeteries of
Flanders are garlanded with Poppies
—colorous emblems of a nation's
youth consumed in the `Wrath -red
forge of War."
On Poppy Days this Dominion
pauses in its normal activities to re-
call the sacrificies of its young men,
to pay tribute to their heroism, their
hardihood and the uncomplaining for-
titude with which they bore their pri-
vations and sufferings. At the same
time, Canada strives to liquidate in
some small measure, an obligation to
those disabled men employed in the
Vetcraft W'orkships of the Country,
whose only means of livelihood is the
making of these simple emblems.
All Canadians of every- age and de-
gree should wear a symbol on Poppy
Days. For that is surely a day of re-
consecratiort and of re -dedication to
the work on hand of continuing the
structure of civilization where the
workers of a previous generation left
off.
•
The Funds raised on Poppy Days
will be handled locally and used for
local relief only.
