Mr. Campbell, a former officer |of the Royal Canadian Navy, spic- led his dramatic address with thril- ling and poignant memories of his naval career. ERRORS OF SMUGNESS The main themes of Mr, Camp- bell's talk concerned the glorious symbol, Canada's ensign, and the tragic errors of smugness and com- placency, of which Mr. Campbell said, "We must teach our children of Canada's glorious heritage, we must teach them respect for our national emblem. Nations have fal- len because of smugness and com- placency, and they 'will continue to fall until we realize our responsi- bilities concerning citizenship." The speaker told of a visit to Italy in 1922, where he saw the | Black Shirts take over. "They shot |a few people," said Mr. Campbell, | "And they tarred and feathered a |few more that I saw. It took the {people of Italy 22 years to get rid | of the dictator and hang him up by his heels." Citizenship Talk Most Interesting cency always came to the fore when everything looked rosy. He explained how Canadians must be proud of their heritage, and illus- trated his point with several ance- dotes, one humorous, and one rich in. both pride and humility. "I landed on the beach at | Dieppe," said Mr. Campbell. "My |intention was to reach the nearby | American headquarters, and no | transportation was to be seen. Fin- lally I spied a dump truck driven by an American negro. I com- mandeered the truck, and as we drove we talked. I asked him if he like Dieppe, and he answered that it was all right, He said he had been to England for six months and Ireland for nine months. I asked him how he liked these places. He told me again that they were all right. And then I asked this man which place of all those he had been he liked the best. The man answered, Georgia." PROUD OF HERITAGE "He was proud of his heritage," said Mr. Campbell. the speaker then told of a blind professor he {had met at an English university. |The man told him that he had {been thrown in jail when the com- The next meeting will be at the | He described how smugness be- munists had overthrown the gov- gan the bitter seed of fascism, and | ernment, and he had been blinded |led to final overthrow.
