"It is easier and more
satisfactory to keep and protect
the freedom that so much has
been sacrificed for already, to
cherish it in peace, rather than to
redeem it in war," Huron M.P.
Robert McKinley said in ad-
dressing the annual Remem-
brance Day banquet at the
Hensall Legion, Friday.
He went on to say that the
message must be communicated
to young Canadians "most of
whom haven't had enough ex-
perience to appreciate how easily
freedom and democracy can be
eroded, nor the Tremendous ef-
forts required to reinstate them."
One way to guard freedom and
-liberty, he said, is to always
respect and foster the democratic
process and the rule of law.
While many young people
associate Remembrance Day

Remembrance Day banquet
with the aged or the aging, he
noted that it was in reality a
festival of youth, "for they were
young when they were warriors".
It was explained that the average
grade 13 student is older than the
ages inscribed on thousands of
the headstones in the war
cemeteries "and because they
were young, there was adventure
and heroism, romance and
marriage, good times and bad
times, memories."
McKinley said democracy
provides the only form of
government that contains
provision within itself for the
criticism and challenge of
government policies and for their
reform and change.
"But as everyone knows, there
is an established,recognized
procedure for doing that, and if
that procedure—and the rule
generally -4s sidestepped, then
both democracy and freedom are
correspondingly inhibited. .
and we will have moved a little
closer to the point where they
must be reclaimed . . . of lost,
reclaimed as in 1914-18 and again
1939-45, or lost as in Holland in
1940-45,"
As an M.P. McKinley said he
was constantly reminded of the
way Canadian soldiers shaped
our history as he daily passes the
huge war memorial in Ottawa
and periodically views the golden
book of Remembrance which is
embossed with the 66,651 names
of the war dead.
"In other words, there is, right
in the heart of Canada's
• Parliament buildings a
dedication to the memory of
those who not only brought the
ideals of liberty and freedom to
Canada but to those who died in
defence of them. Here in stone,
Canada, in the name of both her
dead and her living has made a
solemn pact—one and indivisible
she stands with the British
nations, united for all time in
service to the ideals of peace and
freedom that are out common
heritage and tradition."
The Huron M,P. . said people
should look back on Remem-
brance Day to see the road we
have travelled and note our
accomplishments, so that we
learn.
"Let us pledge a rededication
to the ideals of peace—pledge to
the departed that we will renew
our efforts to ensure peace with
honour to our nation—ensure
ourselves that no more names
are carved on cenotaphs to the
Huron MPP comments on farm bill
(continued from page 13)
a man in order to carry out the
farming operation and in most
cases it leaves very little for his
own labour. So we feel that more
actual costs of production should
be taken into consideration.
We also feel the Bill should
require the Commission to
consult with the producer
organizations or the commodity
boards when arriving at a
stabilized price for that par-
ticular commodity.
It would be very difficult for a
Commission to arrive at a
stabilized price if it does not know
anything ahv t the commodity to
begin witL�.11d so, where the Bill
indicates "may" consult, we feel
that they "must" consult with the
various commodity boards.
In a news conference held by
Donald MacDonald, the N.D.P.
Agriculture Critic, accompanied
by Stephen Lewis, expressed the
Party's intention to vote against
the farm legislation.
Basically, the N.D.P. want a
more formal role for farm
of the crop insurance plan along
with more comprehensive
coverage and a different formula
for devising the stabilization
levels.
A columnist in the Toronto Sun
described the attitude of the New
Democrats in respect of this
legislation as "declaring you're

During the press conference,
the Columnist went on to say,
when the question of "supply
management" (read government
control),of production was
raised, Mr. MacDonald and Mr.
Lewis admitted reluctantly that
yes,• under their plan the
government would control
production quotas, but that
wasn't relevant to their amend-
ment so they didn't include it. He
said the N.D,P. proposal would
mean complete staterun farming
in Ontario.
The Columnist stated that
rather than standing on principle
and simply opposing second
reading of the bill straight out or
passing that stage and amending
the bill to fit position, the N. D. P.
have decided to go the route of a
"reasoned amendment". The
N.D.P. plan would cost about $140
million a year.

"And finally, let us also think of
the war veterans who served the
respective generations ex-
ceedingly well, who established
bench -marks of patriotism, self-
discipline, duty and achievement'
that will always be the hallmark
of our times."
In concluding, McKinley said
people have much to remember,
to think about and to be thankful
for, much to tell their children
and their grandchildren.
"Let us do so with pride at
every opportunity," he
remarked.
