bserve National Veterans' Week
The one occasion during the year in
which we think of those of our fellow
citizens who are veterans usually is at
Remembrance Day in -November.
This Year, there is an added recogni-
tion. National Veterans' Week is being
• celebrated as part of Centennial Year.
During the present week Canada salutes
her veterans and remembers with grati-
•. tude their sacrifices in wartime to pro-.
tect our freedoxns, and their contribu-
tions in peace -time to the upbuilding of
our . country, ..
More than 112,0'00 Canadians have
given their lives for their country since
Confederation. They .are buried `in 70
different countries throughout the
world, including Canada.
Memorials to . Canadian servicemen
and women stand in Great Britian,
France,', Belgium The Netherlands, It-
aly, .Malta, Egypt, • Singapore, ,.;,]Hong
There are approximately 975;000- vet-
erans living in Canada today, of whom
. about 142,000, are receiving disability
pensions.
Kong, as well as In cities, towns and
villages across Canada.
In Seaforth veterans paid tribute to
those of their number who paid the
supreme sacrifice when they held a
church parade Sunday and again° on
Tuesday. when ..with representatives' of
area Legions, 'paraded to ' Victoria
Park where. a wreath was laid on the
Cenotaph.
' Veterans' Week means more than a
time of remembrance. It is an occasion
when veterans dedicated themselves in
these words :--
"Remembering all those whose lives
were devoted to the service of our coun-
try, and all the benefits arid Privileges
that we enjoy in this great land,
Let us all pledge ourselves to be wor-
,thy of "our •high citizenship, 'to be ready
at all times to defend it, and to live all
our lives in such a way as to keep .our
country great and free, respected and
beloved throughout the, world: May God
help us and keep us in this intention:
Amen."

COPS AND ROBBERS
• Some of you, gentle 'readers,
undoubtedly live next door to
bookies; others live cheek- by
jowl with bootleggers. But how
many of you .can boast of , liv=
ing right next door to a couple
of bank robbers? We can.
During the six years We have
lived in this house, one of the
many banes of my wife's exist-
ence has been the house next
door. It's a crummy old, brick
house, shabby and dilapidated.
Thea tenants, who change
about every six months, are in
much the same condition as
the house. That is not ' said
unkindly.. They are poor. They
are tough. It's all they can af-
ford.
Invariably,they- -have great -
gaggles of children. Invariably,
there is a good deal of scream-
ing, and some cursing, at these
tads. Invariably, ,there is wine
drinking and fighting.
But they ° struggle on,. the
men in .and out eoLwork, 'the
women hanging endless ,miles •
of diapers on a clothes line',
that squeals ..like a` banshee at
every yank.
They . don't bother me:
They're not malicious. One of
the women used to come over
and use our phone, when she
wanted a cab to go and get
some beer. One little boy, age
three, told me , to "go to hell"
when i told him to'stop using
our lawn chair as a trampoline.
Buenothing serious."
The only thing that bugs me
is that the rotten old board
fence between the • properties
keeps .falling down. And it al
ways falls on my, side. They
don't... care. It's not their fence,
but the Iandlord's. He doesn't
care. So I prop it up, This week,
however, things livened up.
Last Thursday, a bank in a near-
by village was held up by, two
armed men, They get away
with about $6,500,
Roadblocks were thrown up,
as they say. My assistant de-
partxnent head, on her way to
the dentist, was stopped three
times by scowling policemen
brandishing • shot -guns. She
weighs 82 pounds and couldn't
even lift $6,500 in $100 bills.

front the rector's wife.
"How are yeti? �I mean, are
you all right?"
Fine. How is everybody at
your place?"
"Fine, but are you all right?"
After more of this, it turned
out that the rector's wife, and
praetically everybody else in
town, had heard a rumor,, prob
ably springing from an erre-
mous radio report, that the
