"LET US REMEMBER all great souls whe have counted not life itself a sacrifice if, thereby, a noble purpose were served. ~~ LET US REMEMBER those early pathfinders Gs who forced an arduous way through almost Sy enetrable wilds, among hostile Indians, to the Cross: those fore-runners, of our ig > %o bear civilization. LET US REMEMBER the gallant Oates who, in _ far-off antarctic fields of ice, went out oh to death, so that his comrades might have a better chance to be saved. LET US REMEMBER other lonely and lofty souls who lived and laboured and died unheralded in fame or story. LET US REMEMBER the patient mothers, the self-denying fathers, who have sought to gdom wherein there shall be earts of men for war.

We are the dead, short days ago We loved, felt dawn and sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe, To you from failing hands we throw The torch, be yours to hold it high. If you break faith with us who die, We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. : > --Col. John McCrae THE DEAD Blow out, you bugles, over the rich Dead! There's none of these so lonely and poor of old But, dying, has made us rarer gifts than gold. These laid the world away, poured out the red Sweet wine of youth, gave up the years to be Of hope and joy, and that unhoped serene That men call age, and those who would have been Their sons, they gave, their immortality. Blow, bugles, blow! They brought us for our dearth, Holiness, lacked so long, and Love, and Pain, Honour has come back, as a king, to earth, And paid his subjects with a royal, wage; And we have come into our heritage. that there are still thousands of victims up- on whom we can lavish our gratitude and affection. THAT war is a horrid thing. That filth, and misery and degradation follow in its wake like poisonous snakes, and the end thereof is death. THAT our careless chatter; our selfish ways; our lack of fine vision--all may help to sow the seeds of war. THAT nobody wins a war. Every sition, every citizen pays to the uttermost farthing for the false glory of war. THAT no pride of victory can bring back to life our sons and daughters, who sacrificed their lives for us. THAT, noble as our motives may be in going to war, it is inevitable that those who actually fight must endure terrible suffering and be exposed to temptations that are almost ir- resistible. THAT only by a willingness to give and take can future wars be avoided. There must be some "give" and not all "take." THAT the desire for continued peace must be an active quality. It is of no use spending our time in belittling the efforts of the League of Nations and similar agencies, Far better if we directed our efforts to assist them. THAT every citizen has some responsibility in the bringing of either war or peace, and that the careless talk of the street corner may be shouted from the housetops as the battle cries of contending armies. LET US REMEMBER these undaunted souls, and, in silence pray that their mantle may fall on us, --Lillie G. Stoner. --Rupert Brooke. from war. \ THAT greed and selfishness must give place to the Golden Rule, if we are to avoid another war that could easily wipe out our civilization. THAT true Christianity could save the' world Red Cron Outpost Hospital Work in Ontario. ~The Red Cross Outpost Hospitals are in peril. Some of these havens for the sick and injured of Northern Ontario are in danger of being forced to close their doors unless financial | help. is forthcoming. The need for their services is greater than ever be- fore because, though times are hard in cities, conditions are hard- purse Outposts where one nurse "holds the fort" and lives among the people, ready to meet any emergency and put her trained nursing skill at their service at ali times. A striking review of the daily round in a one-nurse Outpost is contained in a letter which one of the nurses writes "back-home." It reveals that it is impossible to get a doctor to more than one-third of the 55 ob- stetrical cases that were attended dur- ing 22 months. If the Red Cross nurse had not been at her post, ready at call, there would have been no nursing care available. As it was, every one of these 55 mothers made a good recovery. ~ Called at night to visit one of these cases, the nurse had to walk 6 miles from the Outpost. Guided by a little make, the little shack had got into a most miserable condition. When the hysband returned with supplies and a message for. the nurse that another call had come for her services up the river, he found a new son awaiting him. Making the mother and new baby as comfortable as possible and leaving instructions for their care, the nurse journeyed part way back through the bush to the small farm house from which the second call had come, A doctor from the nearest town had managed to reach this case, so she was spared thé necessify of taking full charge. Mother and baby again made comfortable and then back to the Outpost for a few hours rest. A banging at the door told her that her skill was again needed. A man at the door with an axe wound in his leg was brought in by a companion. The nurse cleansed and dressed the wound, but realized that the man should be in case blood poisoning se in od ame | put under doctor's care immediately, at hand who has had the best training the modern hospital can give, to share with her the nursing and the watch- ing, to the men hurt in the bush to know medical equipment and service is available; to the discouraged whose strength is failing under the stern necessities of the new country to feel there is encouragement and practical help to give them new heart. This is a work that appeals to all Ontario. The people of the larger cities of the province have contributed generously; the people of the little settlements surrounding the Outposts have done all that they are able. Friends and members of the Red Cross have rallied to the cause and have given more than ever before. But the need is so great in the lonely out-lying sections of the province that the Red Cross is putting forward a 'widespread appeal to keep the nurses in the North where 'they are so ur- gently needed. A dollar or part of one will make a grand total that will enable the Red 'Cross to keep the doors of the little hospitals open, the nurse at their is post. sos bs, minster to the sick, . where Be generous.

We congratulate these young men on their scholarly success. REMEMBRANCE DAY "Test we forget" 1914-1918 @anadian Legion, Port Perry Branch, No. 91 the Ontario Government to hear the appeal or the Township of Reach against the County of Ontario's 1982 equalization by-law, held at the Court House on Tuesday morning last, three valuators, satisfactory to all of the municipalities in the county, were confirmed in their appointment by the Board. The valuators are Colonel L. McLaughlin and Samuel Snowden, of Bowmanville, and William Newman, of North Victoria. They started their work on Monday of this week starting ot Jans Twp., in the north end of the ty Members of the Board at the meet- ing were Judge R. Ruddy, chairman; Judge Parker, Goderich, and Dr. Jas. Moore, Brooklin, registrar of deeds and titles for the county. Addressed the Board. G. D. Conant, special counsel for the county, first addressed the Board pointing out that all of the muni- cipalities had advised of their appro- val of the three valuators as had been suggested at the last meeting of the Board. Mr. Conant produced the forms of approval and these were filed. After some discussion and argu- ment the Board confirmed the ap- pointment of the valuators and ad- journed the hearing until Dec. 6th, at which time the valuators are expected to have their report ready for pre- sentation. This report would then be sent to the municipalities, which would have the right to submit their own valuations of the properties in- volved. Judge Parker said that he was pleased that the municipalities had agreed upon valuators, as the Board had been very indulgent so far in con- nection with the hearing and had some agreement not been reached the Board would have proceeded to name valu- ators. Judge Ruddy advised the reeves and deputy-reeves present to give to the valuators every possible assistance either personally or through their municipal officials so that they might be enabled to get all the information they required for their report. The valuators, in proceeding with their work, will go over the north part of the county first while the weather is favorable. They will value the properties included in the 1926 assessment arrived at when the last valuation of the county was made, but they have the power to substitute other properties as they may see fit for any of these in securing data on values. They are also empowered to add two per cent. of the number of properties on the assessment rolls. Assessment figures furnished to the valuators by clerks or assessors, it is understood, will have to be properly verified. The three valuators are all ex- perienced men and their report a few weeks hence will be awaited with in- terest. Practically every municipality in the county was represented either by the reeves or deputy-reeves or by special counsel, in some cases both. GREENBANK Miss Ethel Wren, of Uxbridge, at the home of T.
