On November 3rd., the Aus- trians surrendered to the Italians, In Germany, sailors at Kiel mutinied openly. The troops revolted, and the line of defence fell back fast. Ger- many was going to pieces. In Canada, every city, town and village waited in eager anticipation for the end. Thirty-three years ago on Novem- ber 9th, the Kaiser abdicated, and two days later in the early hours of November 11th., 1918, hostilities ceas- ed. At precisely 11 o'clock, the Armi- stice was signed by the contending powers. On the war front, there were no demonstrations, no hilarity, no celebration or back-slapping, only a mood of restful peace. In jubilant contrast on the home-front, sirens and factory whistles pierced the air. Church bells tolled. Ticker tape and confetti rained from the sky and crowds of people surged from office buildings and factories. An informal procession formed and people march- ed arm in arm down the streets jam- ming traffic. In the wake of the cele- bration, a quieter mood of reverence and prayer, supplanted the mad out- burst of joy at the war's end. Out of the universal desire to per- petuate the memories of our war dead it was decided ,this day, which coincided with the signing of the Armistice, should he called Remem- brance Day. Sunday, all over Canada, people will participate once again in the tradi- tional ceremonies and public meet- ings, religious services and watching the veterans on parades. allies had good reason to believe that An awesome percentage of man- kind's history is written around bloody conflict, It was prayerfully hoped the First World War was the war to end all wars. But the dream of world peace was rudely shattered for Canadians on September 10th., 1939. Once again death took its terrible toll and disfigurement and disability stood close by to claim their share from the ranks of mankind. And again in 1951 the guns rolled out their message of death over the mountains and plains of far off Kor- ea, to bring once more, the uncertain- ty of World Peace. So, on Sunday, we will pay tribute to the men and women of Three Wars. With a feeling of pride ming- led with sadness we honour those who died triumphant and hopeful- triumphant in the sense that their sacrifice was not in vain-hopeful that the cause of freedom and dem- ocracy had gained a new and strong- er foothold, Throughout recorded times the poet has responded with vehement pro- test against the forces of war.

Turnbull, deputy postmaster general, told the Kiwanis Club at Oshawa recently. Postal officials ‘vould like to be "waiting f•It the .front door" to welcome people as new homes spring up and families 11I0Ve ill, he said, I lowever, the need to treat everybody alike and at the same time stay within the par- liamentary appropriation demanded the setting up of service standards to be applied fairly throughout Canada. The deputy reminded his listeners that the Post Office now faced the competition of the armed services and the labor demands of industry in its recruitment of help. With regard to recent increases, Mr. Turnbull said that unlike every feature of life the postal services had for years resisted the general upswing, in costs. Rates had been held down so iong that when finally the presSUre ui circumstances forced "modest increases', a startled cre \\ cut up. "It was," he said, "as if the Rock of Gibraltar had moved. This had brought about ,,enne criticism, more, lie thougnt, than was actually warranted. lie assured his hearers that his officials were working- ceaselessly to make the machine run smoother,- " e ha\ e some iong-range plans,- he itlided, "so that the I'ostal ,s,er\ lee will not only grow with eanaita, but will be a prune agent in helping that growth: TI1Q (leptity citeli some 111rtanCts 01 progress ill tilt transportation of Canadian mails, recalling the "All-Up ..\ir Mail ;service" by means of which first-class mail is conveyed at ordinary rates of postage. Canada, he said, was the first----and is still the only country in the world — o make such an extensive use of the airplane to annihilate distaee aim gne "star service at stage-coach prices. Many post infice critics demanded the exercise of stringent economies, Mr. Turnbull said; but with the proviso that whatever cuts these economies might entail in postal service be borne by somebody else. That involved an element of unfairness which responsible officers would be hard put to justify, he intimated. RENOVATIONS NECESSARY When Dr, George if. Hail, president and vice-chancellor of the University of Ontario, stepped onto the stage of the auditorium of the. .town hall Tuesday night, he was slapped right between the eyes by the bareness and dis- repair of that part of the hall. The occasion was, of course, the annual commencement exercises held by the Wingham and District Iligh School. Wingham has had as guests over the past several months, several distinguished and famous men, including Premier Frost, Walter Thomson and Wilson MacDonald, to only name a few. What do you think their impression is after standing on the shabby stage of our town hall? The impression that they take away with them is of peel- ing paint, bareness and austerity. The town council have already _made plans to repaint the main part of the hall right after the municipal nomin- ations. Now there is an admirable and long-needed move- BUT there have been no arrangements to redecorate and refurnish the stage. Isn't this a serious oversight on the part of council? Most every event of any Size and importance takes place in the town hall, from the Nigh School Commence- ment to political rallies. As the main centre of conununity activities it should be in better repair. Also there is a need for better lighting both on the stage and in the wings. Back stage facilities are limited and totally inadequate for what is demanded of them. THE FOWL SUPPER—A DELIGHTFUL INSTITUTION The annual fowl supper season is in full swing to the delight of hundreds of chicken and turkey-loving. individu- als who wonder if a more pleasant social custom has ever been devised. I lumanity always appears at its best at a fowl supper. Ask the average person to sit patiently and twiddle his thumbs for hal r an hour or so on .any other occasion and there would be a dickens of a fuss,but a fowl supper ! Well, that's a different thing. I.)ozens of people sit docile, even amiably, awaiting the second or third table, with no visible signs of impatience, and then when they do arrive at the table they eat their meal happily, but quickly to make room for the next battalion of lunq_i,Ty. guests. The meals, of course, ate a subject in themselves. Turkey is a favourite, of late years, brown, well-clone, and accompanied by fluffy dressing. Mashed potatoes, turnips and peas, salads and jellies are a must and what a colour- ful variety from which to choose. Then the platter of turkey is passed once more, symbolic of country hospital. ity. It isn't essential that one have a second helping but it's pretty hard to resist. If you have any room left, you go on to pie, any variety you care to name, fluffy light or chocolate cake, scalding tea and an apple to eat in the car on the way home, It is a terrific job for the women who art' augmenting' the funds of their society in this manner and for the hits ! bands who .tre occasionally pressed IMO service, bill for their consolation,. it is very doubtful if there is any nicer,1 more satisfying. custom than ;1;(; awned rr11,t1 s e o!a.,., Sleep the sleep that knows no break- ing„ Dream Days of danger, nights unseen thy couch are strewing strains sense warfare o'er fields no more knows no break- Morn and will spend the winter in St Pet- ersburg, Florida.
