such poor results makes one wonder just when this day may come in the meantime a dedicated group of men and women carry on as best they can making the best use of every dollar and hoping that the

states georgetown oct 26 1966 dear sir why a corjscrvauve social bt assocntioa tttli question has been posed so often in re cent weeks that a public state ment seems to be called for our nation standing on the threshold of its second century of nationhood ought to step off the coattails of uncle sam on which we have been hitching a ride for too long the urgency is paramount since h is appar ent that the us is racing with a suicidal passion towards dis aster already there are grave doubti that are well founded whether the north american mentality can return to sanity without violence hogwaah a good many will y bat look at recent history a highly developed nation iea- pected and civilized wag bam- boosled into a abort hved fling of eeprultrt hysteria h emerged a cultural and moral heap of ruins as well as in toe physical sense branches and no bird sings a typical remembrance day at mosphere but on my desk is a letter from an old friend and the warmth courage and indomita u spirit contained in it defy the feel of death and sadness outside his name is alexander forbes cannington ontario weve never met but have cor responded we are both lovers of the printed word and about once a year he writes a long letter filled with reminiscences wit and goodwill his letters always give me a lift h has been in peer haaltti in recant yean ilka se many of his old cemriwi but this has net dimmed hi spirit hia writing becomes increasingly difficult to read net because f infirmity but because he is going blind cataracts are forming on his eyes and he will enter st jos eph s hospital peterborough after new years for an oper ation does he complain not your life he can even joke about it for the veteran who wishes to buy a home i would like to renew the veterans land act as it ts coming to an orderly end the sue of lot must be one half 04 acre 21 780 sq ft the only exception to this sue is the case of pensioner who may he allowed to bave a smaller lot the vet erans land office is extremely busy probably due to the am endments of 1965 loans to commer farmers have a i maximum of 40000 small the georgetown heraid 8772201 our want ads are big performers too the reason he wrote is that he had promised to send me a book and wanted to get it off before his sight failed com pletely it is based on a yanks experience in world war and typically he adds 1 lieve it to be authentic and not a lot of yankee bull when you have read it you might lend h to some old sweat the legion halt particularly if he served in the pbl short for poor bloody infantry barely middleaged and their ranks svere swelled by youthful swinging veterans of che second war young fit and full of beans but the gnef was real there were brothers uncles sons and fathers missing from the files of legionnaires and when the last post sounded and the bell tolled in the hush the tears ran free and there was a com munal lump in the throat time passed grief i thing changed a whale new gertanttien grow up to which even world war 3 waa ust emething in the history books the veterans of that war are mhldleoged new year the ranks of old sweat of the first groat war grow thin ner thrre is something almost perfunctory about the occasion now the veterans remember and the women who lost their men remember but it doesnt mean much to the kids and for many others its just a dsy to go hunting or put on the last of the storm windows but for me the second emo tion of that day admiration does not dun as the tatter ed remnants of canada s gal lant lads of 19141b turn out or the parade my heart is snth them there tsnt much spring in the step anymore and backs are not as straight but there is still a pride in their bearing and there should be their war was no charge of the light brigade there was nothing

is easy prey to manipulation by a benevol ent laaderabifi whose mentality remained stack in the last cen tury or when the omissions of past decades culminate in crisis even worse history bears witness that an ignorant public under strain is apt to pick the noisiest dog from the litter what now has the conservsuva socialist assoc iation to offer prime reason for its existence is the fact that
