I believe we had somewhat of the same weather approximat- ely one year ago. Since Indian summer is supposed to follow squaw winter, here's hoping. Last Monday evening the films "Children of the Mount- ain, " a Swiss film; "Four Ways to Milford, " a picture of New Zealand scenery, and "Christ- mas Near and Far, " which speaks for itself, were shown. These were very good dilms, and we invite more people to come and enjoy there every Monday evening com- mencing around 7.00 p.m. We want to thank Mr. and Mrs. George Haggitt for picking up these films in Goderich and delivering them for us. On Wednesday evening, the Ladies' Auxiliary held their regular monthly meeting in the Horne. Mrs. Harpwell of Hensall favoured the audience with several piano selections. Little Misses Vicki and I<elli Schroeder, Shelley Haggitt and Martha Klopp, majorettes, entertained the audience. Ron- nie and Danny Meidinger prov- ided a few musical selections on their guitar, Ilornenmade donuts and fresh apple cider were served at the close of the program. We wish to thank Mr. Edwin Steckle for the two bushels of delicious apples donated to the Home, Mrs. Mary Ging- erich for the basket of tomatoes and Mrs. Nap Bedard for the large assortment of lovely quilt patches.

There's a raw wind blowing out of the north- east and you feel frozen just crossing the street to get a cup of coffee. There may even be a few flakes of snow in the air. I'm not possessed of a hidden power. That's the way every November 11 has been since I've been a small child. I can remember standing at the cen- otaph on several Armistice Day; and finding the weather always about the same - spine -chill- ing and very uncomfortable. It is a funny thing about Remembrance Day. Every year the crowd at the, cenotaph gets smaller and older. Have you noticed that? Oh, there are a few children there, brought by their mothers or fathers for the occasion be- cause someone in the family has either been involved in a world war or is extremely hung- up on the romance of what the armistice meant to this country. But for the most part, the people standing out there at that cenotaph are old soldiers, sailors and airmen along with their families and friends for whom Remembrance Day has a very special impact. I don't want any of you to get the idea that I'm opposed to the observance of Rememb- rance Day. I recognize what a great deed was done by the men and women of the Canad- ian Armed Forces for the pres- ervation of this nation. I'm in- debted. What I really wonder about is how I'm showing my indebt- edness by standing out in rhe Dairy Darlings taste chicken The fifth meeting was on October 20 at 7.30 p.m. at the home of Mrs. Tean Armstrong Brenda read the minutes, Susan was absent. Tean gave us our pamphlets for achievement day. Brenda McKinley made Chicken a' la King with every- one helping in some way. The chicken proved ro he delicious served on hot toast. The Five Dairy Darlings held their sixth meeting Tuesday, October 26, at McKinleys. Plans for Achievement Day, November 13, were discussed. Frances Armstrong demonst- rated how to make lemon chif- fon. It takes some time to prep- are and chill this dessert so Frances brought one already made. Everyone liked the lemon chiffon and a chocolate milk- shake was served with it. 63211111110016 Zurich Mennonite Cyril K. Gingerich, Pastor SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 14 9.45 a.m. Worship Service 10.45 a.m. Sunday School MEDITATION: "If we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:-9 Everyone Welcome BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER freezing cold watching people laying poppies on a marble foundation at the foot of a stone statue. I really question the value of the ceremony at all other than the fact that it is a thoughtful gesture to the memories of dead warriors who fought valliantly for their freedom and mine. I often try to imagine what the reaction of a soldier who gave his life in a blood battle would be if he could somehow be miraculously transported from eternity to the middle of today's society. Just what would that soldier think of the way we were utilizing the freedoms he gave his all to protect? And what would he think of the sterile methods we employed to remember his offering of life's blood? It is interesting to theorize about this sort of thing but much more exciting to try to do something about correcting the mistakes of the past. For instance, it is a futile exercise to stand at the cenot- aph listening to the Last Post and wearing a poppy in your buttonhole in token of your esteem for war heros if you don't get out and utilize your freedom at the polls on elect- ion day. If you had given your life in World War II, would you settle for a ten-minute PACE 11 service in the town square once a year at an appointed hour if the very things you fought to preserve were being ignored? The Legion organizations in most communities do a marvel- lous service for all kinds of people. In my estimation, this is a much more vital and real- istic way to show one's gratit- ude than to stand with sober face and damp eyes by a mem- orial tomb remembering the sacrifice someone else made on your behalf. I'm not against the annual worship services at the cenotaph They are beautifully touching and they have their place, I suppose. But let's face the truth that these services are of more of a sentimental nature for families and friends of veterans and heroes than to the hundreds and thousands of young people growing up in this country who know next to nothing about global war but who understnad poverty and bigotry and hatred and greed all too well. Maybe Remembrance Day should be updated to have some meaning and new stim- ulation for the young of this nation. I'll still be at the cenotaph this morning because I rem- ember how it was. It is a real thing for me and the Unknown Soldier has a face. But I'm growing older and my children have no recollections at all. They need to be motivated on Remembrance Day and will take no more than a trumpet and a poppy.
