Remembrance Day is Nov. 11 and we see the bright red poppy worn on lapels and hats as a symbol of recognition of this day. Nov. 11 is aet aside to remember all those who have given up their life in the name of freedom for themselves and their country. Men and women courageously went• to 'battle to protect the democratic freedoms and ideals which they and those at home valued so highly. • Has anyone given any thought to or remembered all those who today are dying in vain while fighting their private little wars? Day after day when one watches the news or reads the claily paper you witness death in so many ways. The senseless greed and power of governments and their leaders brings death and destruction to those who try to protect their homes and families. The war against hunger and poverty rages rampant in many countries and especially today in Ethiopia where the past number of years of drought has brought on widespread famine and the ultimate death of young and old. Wars are not always fought by great masses of people, one country or culture of people against another, but in our society we find individuals battling their own private wars. The wars of loneliness, poverty, sickness, acceptance, drugs, alcoholism, pressure, pornography, abortion and depres- sion. And when we read of those who` have taken their own life or that of their family or others we know defeat has truck again and the battle was lost. People march up and down in opposition to nuclear war and to the already proven results of the past in. Hiroshima, we hear many reports on the arms race and who has the upper hand. There is no fear of anyone ever forgetting the dead and the dying if the rich nations keep getting richer and the poor nations poorer as the conflicts and uprisings will always go on. Are we so busy remembering the past that we overlooked the present? We cannot live in the pastas time and technology force us to go forward and we must strive to make the future better through peace, unity and co-operation. Scarves made at Staff Correspondent MRS. J.

School board votes to keep Perth Catholic schools open Stratford's separate schools will stay as they are --for the present at least. By a close vote of seven to six Monday night in Stratford, the Huron -Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School Board made the decision not to consolidate its five elementary schools to three. The Board considered the proposal to close two schools at a special meeting in Stratford when its Board Accommodation Review Committee made the recommenda• tion following a study on declining enrol- ments. The two schools proposed to be closed were St. Joseph's School with an enrolment of 114 and Immaculate Conception with an enrolment of 134 students. Previously, a community accommodation committee had recommended to the board review commit- tee that only Immaculate Conception be - dosed. The large crowd of about 2(10 gave a standing ovation to four speakers against the dosures. Rev, James Williams asked if Catholic education in Ontario was solely dependent on the dictates of the Ministry of Education. He advised the trustees they were elected to the hoard to serve the ratepayers incltding Stratford and to ensure the students were receiving a truly Catholic education. Ron Cork, Father Sharp and trustee Ronald Marcy all of Stratford, spoke of the importance of the neighbourhood school. Mr. Cork said just as the church and the school form such an integral part of the small urban and rural community life-. the neighbourhood school in the city provides the necessary link between the people and their church. In a city of 27.000. he said the link to the church has never L sen stronger. He urged the continuance of keeping St. Joseph's School open as did Mr Marcy so that there are schools in the four quadrants in the city. One of the reasons to consolidate the schools was to give the three schools adequate core facilities. Mr. Marcy said that. ,while the parents wanted kindergarten to grade eight in their schools with auditorium and gymnasiums, but not if it meant giving up their neighbourhood schools. The board held a vote and six trustees voted in favour of consolidating. They included William Kinahan of Lucknow, Vincent McInnes of Wingham, Louis Malon• ey of Dublin, Michael Moriarty of Bayfield, Ray Durand of Zurich and Ernest Vander• schott of St. Marys. The trustees intent on keeping their neighbourhood schools were Ronald Marcy of Stratford, Arthur Haid of RR 4, Listowel, Gerald Groothuis of Seaforth, Tim McDon- nell of Gadshill, John Devlin of Stratford, Michael Ryan of Ailsa Craig. and Ray Van Vliet of St. Marys. Following the meeting, William Eckert, director of education said the matter is over and closed, unless some trustee brought in a motion to open it up.
