The men who had died did) not have haloes simply be-| cause they died, he said, but the values for which they were ready to lay down their lives must be seen. Remembrance Day was honoring these same values and what men are cap- able of becoming. "Without de- dication Remembrance is simply a meaningless sentimentality." Mr. Larke summed up the point of his address saying, "Man built Rheims Cathedral; man destroyed Rheims Cathe- ment, New armored warfare tactics were unveiled during a special lecture at Oshawa The problems created by a judge's son and a vicar's daugh- ter were outlined by Mr. Carl- ton Wells, owner of a business college, at Thursday night's meeting of the Lakeland Chap- ter of the National Office Man- agement Association in Oshawa, Mr. Wells, the guest speaker, said the judge's son was an hour late for school most mornings and the vicar's daughter weigh- ed 195 Ibs, | He explained how the business college put the girl in a charm class and influenced her to slim but they could do nothing about this boy because his mother made excuses for him being late and would not co-operate in making him arrive on time.

Oshawa Times Photo New Tactics Explained To Regiment New military tactics were un- veiled before about 75 specially selected members of the On- tario Regiment at Oshawa Armories Thursday night. The militia members were told that their regiment would return to its original role as an armored =roup, but this time it vould be using new tactics and methods especially aimed at nuclear-age warfare. A taste of things to come was offered in a lecture delivered by an officer of the Eighth Canadian Huzzars, a regular armored regiment based at Camp Petawawa. With the aid of scale models he demonstrat- ed new formations for combat novements especially those concerning the new Mark Six Centurion tanks. This latest model Centurion tank is at present being brought irto service with Canadian troops in Germany. A spokesman for the Ontario Regiment said until recently the unit had been drifting away from its original armored role and had been concentrating more on national survival tech- niques, Now the regiment has been given a new part to play. Very soon, he said, nearly 70 per cent of the militia unit's training time would be spent in practical training as an armor- e* group.

Mr. Manuel said that entirely different groups of people turn out to support the individual cul- |tural activities in this city.

Ten-year-old Robert and Fred, 12, appear to have started a writing career with their first novel, a second adventure novel, and even a trial edition of a newspaper. The talent of the two boys, Grade 5 and 7 pupils at Dr. S. J. Phillips School, was discovered by Miss Enid Wal- lace, children's librarian at the McLaughlin Public Library. PRAISED BY AUTHOR : Miss Wallace took the first novel to a convention in New York State where it was seen by Louis Slobodkin, of Long Island. Himself an author of children's books and an author- ity on the subject, Mr. Slobodkin praised the efforts of the two boys. Mr. Slobodkin later wrote to on their first production and wishing them well in future efforts. The first novel, "The Gables Time Adventure', was illustrated by drawings done by Robert. The story recounts the adven- tures of four children who steal a ride -in a time-machine and roam the ages fnom the 'pre- Christian era to the future. The second novel has two chil- dren as the main characters and tells of their adventures when abducted by bandits and held captive in a cave. The the boys complimenting them} Youths Authors and suspense but closes with a happy ending. Writing is not the greatest in- terest in the lives of the two boys who have many hobbies to interest them. Fred is a keen Boy Scout and is also quite a sportsman. Robert follows rather an un- usual hobby, butterfly collect- ing, and boasts more than 50 specimens in his collection. He also draws well and is respon- found on a neighboring farm which he rented at the begin- ning of the pheasant hunting beer bottles all over the place," he stated, "and IT had $5,000 worth of cattle which could have wan- dered on to the road through the season.

"This is just so someone can come into the restaurant and have something to drink with meals if they want to," Mrs. Smith said. She added that she was asking only beer and wine and not spirits. Reeve Neil Smith said that the township solicito' would be asked for advice on the matter. Councillor Rudi Maeder stated, "These people have left it too late.

"I welcome true sports- men to hunt on my place any- time." He added that anyone who parked his car in a farmyard and asked the landowner for permission to hunt would be welcomed by the farmer. "I know it says on the licence that you must do this," Mr. Mc- Laughlin continued, "but how end of them bother to read it." William Rosnak, member of. the game commission, brought immigrants under fire, "'a lot of the tnouble is caused by Italians from Toronto," he said. "They shoot at anything that moves or crawls." Mr. McLaughlin told the meet- ing of a hunter, who walked through a farmyard when the farmer was asleep, shet 11 tame ducks, returned the next day and picked off the remaining four ducks in the farm pond.

Both boys admit that they would like to make their career as writers, Fred expresses a wish to be a fiction writer while Robert hopes to write fiction and factual magazine articles. The connection between maga- zines and newspaper production is easily seen. When the two boys came to write the news- paper Robert handled the news- gathering side of the enterprise 3 and included stories of local in- terest such as the birth of : seven young to his cousin's rab- , © bit. The newspaper idea came dur- ing an intermission in a hockey game being shown on television. Fred began to write a sports account of the match which was illustrated by Robert, TIMES WAS INSPIRATION Following the sports section another popular section of the paper, a television page was done. Robert says that they drew much inspiration from The Oshawa Times and 'borrowed' news items and want ads for the paper. The parents of both boys think that the efforts made by the chil- dren have been very good and hope that the interest in writing which has developed will con- tinue.
