REMEMBRANCE AND
THE POPPY
Last November, six and a half
'million poppies bloomed in Canada.
Dotting the lapels of almost one-
third of Canada's population, the
symbol of Remembrance made its
38th appearance in this country.
Although everybody knowS what
the poppy means, nobody is certain
of how it all begun; of how the
poppy became so, closely associated
with remembrance of the war dead.
The association was certainly not
new when the poppy was adopted in
Canada in 1921. At least a hundred
and ten years before that time, a
correspondent wrote of how thickly
poppies grew over the graves of the
dead. He \Vas speaking of the Napo-
Atonic War and its campaigns in.
Flanders.
But a Canadian medical officer
was chiefly responsible for this,
association„. more., than, .any other
single known factor.
John McCrae was a tall, boyish,
43 year-old member of the Canadian
Medical Corps from Guelph, On-
tario. An artillery veteran of the.
Boer War, he had the eye of a gun-
ner, the hand of a surgeon, and •the
. soul of a poet when he wentinto the
line at Ypres on April 22,-1915.
That was the afternoon ,the en-
emy first used poison gas. —
The. first attack. failed. So did
the next and the next. For 17 dayS
and nights the allies repulsed wave.
after wave of attackers.
1.
• During this period, • McCrae
wrote: "One can see the dead lying,
there on the front field. And in
places where the, entry threw in an
-attack,' they lie very thick on the
slopes of the German trenches."
Working from a dressing station
on the bank of the Yser Canal, Lt-
Col. McCrae dressed hundreds of
wounded, never taking off his cloth-
es for the entire 17 days. Some-
times the dead or wounded actually
rolled down the bank from above
into his dugout. Sometimes, while
awaiting the arrival of batches of
wounded, he would watch the men
at work in the burial plots which
were quickly filling Up.
Then McCrae and his unit were
relieved. "We are weary in body
and wearier' in Mind. The general
impression in my mind is one of a
nightmare", he wrote home.
But McCrae came out of Ypres
with 13 lines scrawled on a scrap of
paper. The lines, were a poem which
started : "In :Flanders fields the pop-
pies blow
These were the lines which are

enshrined in the hearts of all soldiers
who heard in them, their innermost
thoughts. McCrae was their voice.
The poem circulated as a folk song
circulates, by living word of mouth.
Men learned it with their hearts,
In the United States, the poem
inspired the American Legion to
adopt the poppy as the symbol of
Remembrance.
In Canada, the poppy °was offic-
ially adopted by the Great War Vet-
erans Association in. 1921 on the sug-
gestion of a Mrs. E. Guerin of
France. But there is little doubt
that' the impact of McCrae's - poem
influenced this decision.
'The poem speaks of Flanders
fields. But the subject is universal :
the fear of the dead that they will
be forgotten, that their death will
have been in vain.
The- spirit of true Remei-Orance,
as symbolized by the poppy must he
out eternal answer which belies
those fears.

SMOOTH SAILING
• One of the better things to hap-
pen here in recent months is the re-
paving of the main street. With the
construction of new curbs the gen-
eral appearance of the business sec-
tion has been improved immensely.
It is not, however, only in appear-
ance that the town has been improv-
ed. There is something psycholog-
ical about a smooth piece of pave-
ment. For some reason we have
never been able to completely fath-
om, we always feel attracted to a
town where the, streets 'are in good
shape. r And of course the opposite
is true of a town where the roads
are rough and uneven. We always
feel just one desire—to get out of
the place as fast as possible.
As we search for wayS in which
to improve our community we are
all prone to think in big terms . . .
of great new industries, tremendous
increases in population, or some
equally impractical move. It is, of-
ten, however, the sum total of many
map improvements ivhich spells
the greatest advance of all—and we
feel that the job on main street is
very important from this standpoint.
There is another aspect about thet
betterment of communities, as the
monthly letter from The Royal Bank
points out :
otnnitunty, in the sense- of a
better community' does not mean a
municipality, a trading area or a
district. There' is a richness, in the
word 'community' that goes far be=
yond all these and has something to
do with the flowering of human
