The Huron Expositor, 1983-07-06, Page 15GEQRGE J GLIS The Royal Canadian Legion, he had served so many years paid a final tribute w George Inglis of Delmore, Con. 18, , Howick Township on Thqrs day afternoon. An honor guards of 30 members of Howick Legion, Branch 307, together with the Branch color party led a procession to McIntosh Uni- ted Church cemetery in Car- rick Township following fun- eral services in McIntosh Church. In poor health for several months, Mr. Inglis died ,in Wingham District Hospital on Monday, June 27, 1983. He was in his 86th year. The largely attended ser- vice was representative of Mr. Inglis' wide interests and reflected the many organiza- tions to which he had contri- buted and which he had served. Mr. Inglis enlisted in the First World War with the 161st Huron Battalion. Over- seas, he served with the S8th Canadian Infantry Battalion and was wounded. Decorated with the Military Medal for bravery. he saw action at Vimy Ridge, Passchendale, and on the Somme. Short Shots No one else can give you happiness unless you are ready to accept it. Do not lose the emotion of love because someone has betrayed your trust. School is out! The youngsters are full of zip, enjoying their freedom from the schoolroom. Parents are now in charge of them all day for the next couple of months. Possibly they are wondering already how to keep them occupied and interested and still have time so they too can enjoy some vacation leisure. Plan- a vacation you can enjoy with them. All too soon they will be grown and gone. Parents will then be alone wishing them back. The Queen's Plate, Canada's most presti- geous race, indeed, one of the most impressive in North America, is eagerly looked forward to by all interested in such racing. It is usually an exciting event with a field of competitive three-year-old colts. This; year it proved to be a dull affair. After they announcement that Sunny's Halo would not be there owners and trainers entered horses of dubious Plate quality hoping they might have a winning chance. Bompago was an easy winner. It was not a classic presentation for the oldest continuous thoroughbred race in North America. On a fast track, the pace was surprisingly slow and the usual tense anticipation and glamour of the Queen's Plate was missing. Even the voices of commentators lacked the enthusiasm and excitement that was so evident in other years. ***** Those who have not come in contact with it do not realize that it exists but racism and intolerance do exist in Canada. It is most by Evelyn Kennedy visible in cities where there are immigrants of non-white minorities. In such centres out- breaks of violence have occurred. Much more subtle expressions occur elsewhere even raising an ugly head in small communities. We should all examine our own attitudes to ensure it does not happen here. Such intolerance can not be legislated away. All parents everywhere must teach their children to respect the rights of others no matter what their race, color, or creed. Only then will Canada be free orate disgracing stain of racism. ***** Carling Bassett, the 15 -year-old Canadian 'whiz kid of tennis who amazed Wimbeldon with her skilled performance, lost to Andrea Jaeger of the United States. Canada should still be proud of her play on the court. She advanced further in the championship competitions than any other Canadian had. She said she was thrilled to have advanced as far as she did and hoped to do better next year. ***** Thousands of athletes from around the world are in Edmonton this week to participate in the World University Games. What a wonderful way for young people of so varied cultures to meet and get to know and understand each other better. ***** It continues hot, humid and dry, draining one's energy. Gardens and lawns, not frequently watered, are suffering. Thirsty gardens fail to thrive as they should, lawns are not lush and green but dry,and brown. Even so we should be glad that we have not had the violent storms, twisters and floods here that have plagued other areas.
