marie ontario memorial for the fallen of the last war and the inscription that is writ ten on it kipling had written it es pecially for that memorial and it reads as follows from little towns 4n a far land came to save our honor and a world aflame by uttle towns in a for land we sleep and trust those things we won to you to keep it seeme strand that while the armies of the enemy failed in their efforts to beat the armies of the allies yet they beat them in making ttu announcement of the surrender listening to the announcements of the surrender on tuesday morning we couldnt holp but notice the differ ence in the way that mr churchill made the announcement to that of president truman mr gtturdhill was short and formal while the presi dents announcement was more oke a conversation that might have been carried on among any of us the last few weeks have been ratlwr hard on the nerves and most of us would be on edge we all looked for word of unconditional surrender and it seemed long in coming a gooct iuustnltion of the jittery state that prevailed comes from washington state in hie usa spanning the columbia river about ninety miles east of vancouver washington or of portland oregon there is a huge bridge which is known as the bridge of the gods where they got the name we are unable to tell you how ever we have crossed that bridge and about all that we can remember of it is that it was high and that it cost us ninety cents to drive across it sometime ago you will recall tfxat the allies bombed the bavarian retreat of hitler known as berohteagadfen in vancouver washington the announ cement was mads feat benditesgaden bad fallen maybe if you try to pro nounce that word you will understand that the word was sooa changed after bemg handed from mouth to mouth to that of brtdgeoctoeoods has fal len the telephone out to the cas cades where the bridge is located was soon quite busy and the operator of that toll bridge had quite a time of it assuring the town folk that the bridge was still intact there were a good many different ways of celebrating ve day parades were all the fashion noise was an other popular way of celebrating and even some damage was done in such places as halifax where they destroy ed some street oars and other pro perty up around our comer we went out and played ball with the kids on the comer lot maybe there are bet ter ways of educating youngsters than playing ball but we doubt it when playing games they learn to have a thought for the other fellow and we wonder if that isnt what this whole world has to learn every day radio reception was extra clear on ve day and the kings voice was na tural while listening to htm one cotdd only imagine how different victorious broadcast would bare been had it been the allies that bad ac cepted unconditional surrender there was no boasting but merely state ments of facts of course the fact that the war in the pacific isnt over yet made a difference it was rather nice to remember that the shags message would be heard by dh bsps oerseas at the same time as we were listening ho it that was one program that we could all listen to at the same- time no matter where we might ba- located one of the outstanding features of ve day radio programs was the number of wellknown hymns and psalms that were on the air so often taring the day we could do with many of them on the air more often we could imagine we oould hear them being sung an many an outdoor church parade overseas we wonder if those old hymns are going to be as familiar to the children of today ln years to come as they are to those of us that belong to the older gener tion strange as it may seenc the bey orer there are going to need oar let ters and parcels more than ever now that the war is over while they win have work to do yet it win seem most ly like killing time as compared to the days of the fighting suppose we resolve to keep those blue alrmalls forms going over just as regularly as vc have been doing it will seem a long time waiting for the word to board ship for canada lots keep on doing our part active service notes mrs allan law has received word from her husband ls allan lw

way of life our men overseas lhave been fighting for they wont be able to come back to these simple things unless we get down to earth in our thinking and make sure when ttiey do come back their dollar will be worth a dollar to protect that dollar we must realize now the dangers of careless unnecessary buying we must buy only what we need never buy two where one will do we must not evade rationing or price control or deal in black marketsv ij we break these rules our country the country our soldiers fought for will start on that spiral of prices known as inflation and inflation affects everyone wageearner pensioner smaimxisi- ness owner returned soldier thats why its important to take a stand against it now if inflation starts in this country this is what will happen prices will rise wages will try ts follow along and will never quite catch up soon your dollar yoar soldiers dollar may buy only 25 of the things it used to that is what has happened in many of the countries of the world today and that is why normal living for anyone is impossible in those countries so lets make sure our soldiers dollar when hegets back will be worth a full dollar we cannot give back to him his lost years or lost youth but if we keep up the fight against inflation the man who is overseas can look forward to pleasant satisfying living to the canadian way of life drifftfrv rjt brewing
