SEAFORTH, ONTARIO, - NOVEMBER 9, 1967
Remembrance Day — 1967
- -To eachoof us Remembrance Day has
a particular significance and provides
a vehicle for. thoughts and recollections
peculiarly our own. •
It also is an opportunity, in the re-
collection of the 'pasto'to think of the
present and the relation of die one to
the other.
We are reminded by the committee
on Chaplaincy services, the Presbyter-
ian Church, in Canada, that all..of us
are what we are today because of what
we have been in the past. This is one
reason why it is sometimes said; "man
is what he remembers".
Is it not the same with a Nation?' the
committee asks and adds: "The charac-
ter of a Nation is formed and revealed
by allthat has happened to it in, its
past; it toois what it remembers.
"Viewed in this way, therefore, Re-
membrance Day is an important day.
It is not just a patriotic holiday; it is
a time for remembering what•we have
done: as a people; 'hhd what we `awe be-
cause of these things. We owe it to
young . Canadians to explain our past
to them ,and to teach them to remem-
ber. '
"One thing the younger generation
'finds hard to understand is why when
War seems so cruel, and uselesh, we
chose War. But the point is, we did
not .choose it — it was thrust upon is,
and there sdpmed no other honourable
way oiit. Surely there . is a difference
between an aggressor Nation and its
victims, between liberty and enslave-
ment, as Sir Winston Churchill put it
"however tempting itmight be when
trouble lies ahead, to step aside adroit-
ly and put somebody else up to take
the blows", we could not do that, so
we went td war, believing if we had
not done so 'far worse things would be
in store for us than war could bring.
"In a world such as this, peaceand
security and freedom, are costly," the
committee concludes. In this case the
cost was the life's blood of our nation's
youth. They were prepared to pay' the'
cost, and proudly, we remember them.
Let us also remember those who loved
them; wives made, widows, children
left fatherless. They, too, have paid
far our liberty, and our Nation owes
them all honour and gratitude. We re-,
member them today with thankfulness.

Requirement for OPP Detachment Here
The decision 'to continue the opera-
tion of the Seaforth detachment of the
Ontario Provincial Police was wise. It,
' .reflected , an awareness of the contri=
• bution which the 'detachment and those
who have served in it through the
years have contributed to law enforce-
ment in the area.
In recent years there have been re-
occurring efforts to close the detach-
ment. Presumably those instituting the
.Troves have acted without having been
informed_ as to the geography of the
`area, the distances involved, the con-
' sidered opinion of those in the county
responsible for the administration of
justice and .certainly without consulta-
tion or discussion with the municipali-
ties involved.
The Seaforth detachment is respon-
sible for policing ' Tuckersii ith, Hul-
lett and McKillop — a civilian popula-
tion of nearly 5,000. The area in ad-
ditien involves the traffic and activity
created by the nearly 2,000 man
strength of Canadian Forces Base Clin-
ton. It includes in addition to other
centres what are to all intents and
purposes, the expanding urban areas of
Egmondville and Harpurhey.
All this has been handled by a staff
of one constable. That the detachment
has established a record of .conscientious
service since it was first. established
when the OPP took over in Huron is'
due to the calibre and devotion of the
nip who have manned. it.
For 'comparison sake detachments at
Exeter, and Wingham are staffed with
as many as seven constables each. Each
is responsible for areas ' at most little
larger in terms of area and population _
than is the Seaforth detachment.
It is true that with modern commun-
ications it is possible to move quickly
when trouble arises. But no matter how
quiekly the'response, it remains a fact
that the OPP area headquarters on the
shores of Lake Huron is anything but
centrally located: From the north east
corner of McKillop it is a distance of
over 40 miles to the Huron headquar-
ters. Elimination of the Seaforth de-
tachment would mean there would be
no OPP base between Sebringville and
Goderich, a distance of more than 40
miles along busy ;No. 8 Highway:
Rather than' press to close the de-
tachment here, those in charge would
be wise to reassess the situation with
a -view to increasing its strength to a
Martyrdom of Brebeuf and Lalemant,
1649. The Jesuit missionaries came to
New Frahce to establish schools and
hospitals, ensure the spiritual develop-
ment of the settlers and carry Chris-
tianity to the Indians. But only a frac-
tion of the tribes lived at settlements
on the St. • Lawrence, so the ,Jesuits
went out to seek the natives.
The most famous mission was to the
Huron villages in the stretch of land
between Lake Simcoe ' and Georgian
Bay: Here the missionaries worked
while the fiery Iroquois planned geno-
cide — the annihilation of the Hurons.
The Iroquois had been raiding the
flotillas of Huron canoes on "the way
down the Ottawa to Montreal a since
about 1640. But in the summer of- "1648
they stormed •the outpost village of St.
Joseph and murdered its priest, Father
