AJAX AND DISTRICT NEWS Phone Ajex 426 John Mills, Representative ) Impressive Memorial Service For Remembrance Occasion AJAX -- (Times-Cazette Staff Reporter) -- The citizens of Ajax aid tribute to the memory of the Empire's dead in an impressive service of Remembrance in Rotary Hall on Sunday afternoon. A simple service in' which the congregations and clergy of Ajax united, differences forgotten, their hearts and thoughts united to do homage and acknowledge the debt owed to those gallant souls who ave to the uttermost, even life lf to preserve for us our way of life. Here was to be found the digni- fied ceremonial of presenting the colours, the placing of wreaths be- fore 'the Cross Sacrifice, the stirring of the emotions as the Last Post and Reveille were sounded, the calling of the Roll of Honour. The trim uniformed figure of an officer of the Girl Guides before the Cross of Sacrifice and the dropping of & poppy that "symbol of sacrifice" as each name was called, all contributed to a service of Remembrance, which was high- lighted by a thought-provoking and inspiring address by M./ McIntyre Hood, Public Relations Chairman Ontario Provincial Command of the Canadian Legion. Rev. J. E. Harvey, Rev. A. H. McLachlan and Rev. R. D. Camp- bell shared in the service which was directed by John Mills. The Ontario Regiment Band head- ed the parade of veterans, Legion- naires and Auxiliary, members of Ajax Squadron, Ontario Regiment, the Ajax Volunteer Firemen, Girl Guides, Scouts and Cubs with their respective officers under Parade Marshall Staff Sergeant Arthur Sergeant Victor Childs of . the Ajax Squadron sounded Last Post and Reveille. The choirs of the United Church and the Church of the Holy Trinity, combined for the on occasion and rendered the anthem, Kiplings Reécessional "Lest We For- get." INSPIRING ADDRESS The memorial address by M. Mc- Intyre Hood was a stirring call for re-dedication to the principles for which the unforgotten dead had fought and died, and for an ap- plication 'of the Christian princ.. cs of living to individual and national 3 is a service dedicated to solemn and grateful remembrance of the sacrifices of our comrades, the youth of our land, who gave their lives in two great wars, the men who fought for an ideal and died for it said Mr. Hood. They were men who believed it was bet- or to die on their feet than to ve the rest of their lives on their knees. As we remember and honor 'them, we Temember the victories freedom and dem-] ocracy wi are the cornerstones of the British Commonwealth and Empire. The surest of our victory is found in fact that we here in Canada still retrain the greatest fresdom of any pesple world, and have been able to reserve for ourselves and for Phone who came after ws the good Canadian way of life. "On this memorial occasion" said the speaker, "we should hear a call to rededicte ourselves and our national life to the ideals of peace and Christian democracy. The men Ww we remember fought and died for an ideal. It is our duty as those who are left to live for that ideal and to retain for posterity those things for which we they died." eve Y k Mr. H took as a text for his address the words of St. Paul, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principali- ties, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of the work. Wherefore put ye on the whole ar- mor of God, that ye may be able to stand in the evil day." CHALLENGE TO FREEDOM DPointing to the dictatorship of Comm! m as the powers of dark- ness and evil, Mr. Hood said that they present a great challenge to the world. The basic need the world was to get back to the fundamental truths of religion, be- cause Europe was in chaos and under slavely because people had forgotten and returned to ath- eism. "Today the great problem before all humanity how we are gol to attain and maintain that life based on the Christian philos- hy of living, as the dominant factor in the world that is yet to be. With all seriousness, I com- mend your thoughts and attention to the great resources of spiritual help that are at our disposal. In all our energies see to make this country worthy the men who died for it, we must take time to renew our strength at the source of all strength so that when road ahead seems dark and diffi- cult, we can know beyond the sha- dow of a doubt that God is our Tefuge and strength and under- neath are the everlasting arms." John Mills, chairman, in opening the service said: "Once more we meet to honour those gallant souls who laid down their lives that we may live in Jesiity and freedom -- today and November 11 thousands of such services will be held throughout the world in those countries be- g to the commonwealth. "We pause to our tribute in t a brief moment of awe inspir- silence. . "To those of us whose memories travel the miles dusiag this brief respite, come faces no onger seen. Once again, we live the days that were, once again they pass in pro- cession before us, in the full flush of their youth, a youth that had fe] cut short as they passed be- our ken and joined those awaiting on other side. "Let our memorial to them be that we think of what they would have done had they lived, and in that thinking, carry the double burden of their share, and our own, in bringing nearer to fruition the kingdom of God on earth and peace among men.' ROLL OF HONOUR -- 1958 The chairman read the roll of honor, as follows: Rodger Brun- elle, Harry Crossley, Albert Cross, Frederick Burnley, B. Garside, James Gilchrist, James Gillard, G. W.

'""We pray their sacrifice will ever inspire us to labour on, to the end that those who survive and need our aid and may be as- sured of assistance, and the country in which we live and for which they died may ever be wor- thy of the sacrifice they made."

BOWMANVILLE AND DISTRICT Representative--Donald Heridry, 77 Ontario St., Phone 881 Stirring Message At Legion Dinner BOWMANVILLE -- "The Cana- dian Legion has become Canada's atest service organization, serv- for the one purpose of weaving into the broad pattern of Canadian life its own high ideals, aims and Patposes. So said M: Mcintyre ood, nauaging, editor of Daily Times - Gazette, as he ad- dressed a group of almost 300 vet- erans of two world wars and their uests at the annual Remem- rance Day Banquet held Satur- bi day evening in the Legion Hall. Mr. Hoo was an admirable choice of speaker for the memor- able occasion, having served for many years in highly responsible ts in Legion organization since ts inception. Mr. Hood is present- ly the Public Relations Chairman for the Provincial Command. During his address Mr. Hood reviewed the sterling contributions of the Canadian Legion toward the cause of increased veterans' allow- ances, and the care of their de- pendants since the original 22 vet- erans organizations amalgamated into the first Canadian Legion in 1925 under the inspiration and uidance of Field Marshall Earl aig. "There is a story behind that conference of Unity," continued Mr. Hood. "Some of you may re- member the days after we came back from the first World War. There was no past experience to uide us or guide our government in dealing with the returning vet- erans, The result was inadequate pension legislation, no fixed pro- cedure in administration, and a period of years of suffering and ardship for those who were dis- abled and for the dependants of the fallen. Trail and difficulty and strain were their common lot." PATTERN LAID DOWN "It took two years for the Legion to organize into an effective body," said Mr. Hood. "I attended the Dominion Conference at St. John in 1928, and there a patterp was laid ror preparation of proposals to solve these problems." The speaker then told of a fur- ther convention held at Regina during the following year in which the charter of the veterans was written, and the demands for fair and equitable treatment was cry- stallized into a legislative pro- gram. From this conference the principles laid down eventually be- came the War Veterans' Allow- ance Act, and Prime Minister King announced that there would be a parliamentary committee to deal with the overhauling of veteran legislation. uring that year Mr. Hood was called as one of the witnesses be- fore the parliamentary committee, and a general conference was call- ed in Ottawa at the opening of that parliament's session at which General Sir Arthur Currie, then the grand president, said, 'The time has come when the attitude of the government must be one of sympathetic consideration for the needs of our veterans, rather than simply saving money for the country.' NEW DEAL FOR VETERANS "What happened is a matter of history," stated the speaker. 'The pension act was entirely rewritten, the war veterans' allowance act was passed, liberal provisions were made for widows and their dependent children, commuted pensions - were reinstated, and more remedial legislation was passed in 1930 than had been pass- ed in the 12 previous years from 1918 on. And that happened be- | cause the Canadian Legion had | welded the veterans of Canada in- | to one great unified organization | with one purpose and a single ob- jective." | Mr Hood went on to cite the re- sponsibility assumed by the Can- adian Legion in the cause of prop- ° STAFFORD BROS.

Calling attention to the responsi- bility of Canadian Legion members in protection of the high ideals of citizenship Mr. Hood warned of the tter seed of communism, the 'enemies within" that threaten our way of life today. "There is still a free world," said Mr. Hood, "But today, as we look on, our own freedom and that of our partners in democratic world are in peril, not only from without but from those within.

In business life Mr. Rumble is head of the General Motors Truck Division with head offices located in Toronto, and is*a popular show- man of his consistently prize win- ning horses. A man of great business and social accomplishments, Mr. Rumble is qonstantly in demand as a speaker and manages to fit many entertaining engagements in his schedule though working through an almost impossible time- our indifference to our responsibil- ities in a democracy are our coun- try's own worst enemies." "If we are to have a world in which we can breathe freely and live without fear, then we of the peace loving nations -must make a concerted effort to uphold the laws and principles on which peace can rest secure." NEED FOR PREPAREDNESS "We are determined that Can- ada shall be fully prepared to meet the challenge to our democracy. The Legion calls upon the nation through government and parlia- ment to play its part in meeting the challenge of dictatorship, by utilizing our resources of manpow- er and natural riches to uttermost limits of our capabilities. We stand for. universal military service as part of that preparedness. We be- lieve that nothing can be of great- er-importance than the preserva- tion of our freedom and democ- racy. We also believe that the people of Canada must be prepar- ed to make any sacrifice to main- ain them." "There are over 2,200 branches of the Legion in Canada now, as- sisted by the devoted work of 1200 Ladies Auxiliaries. There are 239 branches and many auxiliaries in the USA where our old comrades uphold our fine tradition in the land in which they chose to live. In Canada there are 300,000 men and women who are members of the Canadian Legion." "Truly we have an organization of which not only we, but all the people of Canada, whether veterans or not, can recognize as being a great force for finer citizenship, higher ideals in private and public life, and one which is putting these ideals into practice." "That is the challenge which comes to us on this Remembrance Day from our unforgotten dead, a challenge to you and me, and to all of us within the Canadian.
