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 Citizens News, November 17, 1976 -Page 19 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 ready to die for your country in .1 MIN M ERIMAI 7['IRIIAIAI U{[ OMf UMW[ TEi[AIAIIAF SOUNDS."

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. memory of young lives taken in attempts to resolve the dif- ferences between nations," "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.
