struggle to give some thought to the period that intervened between the war of twentyfrve years ago and the time in which we now live perhaps it would be well to study that inter val something was done or left undone in that period which should nct be repeated if the way to permanent peace is to be gained remembrancedaybnngsrecollectiqnsof an memories other war that was fought to end wars of sons gladly going forth to battle and giving their all in the faith that that struggle would usher in the day when wars would be no more then we had twenty years of opportunity two decades in which to make sure that the victory that was so dearly won would fulfil its noble purpose and usher in lasting peace someplace irrtharpenod we failed in our worthy purpose failure was not in remembrance of those who sacrificed ttieir all so much as in remembrance to hold high the torch for which they fought and died as we approach another remembrance day let us combine with the memory of the sacrifice of other years a resolve that when victory and peace come again the torch will not fall let us be firm in our resolve that out of the struggle of martwiii evolve a better way in which to live together in this world of plenty in peace and harmony that task can best be served by the resolute aim and living in a practical way of every individual in a more brotherly way of life v i hold your part of lie line we are apt to read of the splendid defence the russians are putting up against the invader and dis cuss the subject with a word of praise for them but lets analyze a little further that defence has been going on day afterday for months these isnt a doubt but many have become discouraged in the battleline and said whats the use we havent the guns or tanks and the enemy are stronger than we are but then there were those who fought on in kpite of the handicaps and held the enemy until they fell they were not quitters the home trout is like the fighting front in many respects there have been months of working pay ing new tan levies doing without things urged to make more savings help is asked for one charity after another there are those who meet new taxes with a reduction hot in privation for themselves but in stopping their war savings these later are not the soldiers who hold the lme- donbeaqiutter wjienvqusignyourwar sast ings pledge make up your mind you will do that much or better that you will assume the place of the fellow who by no fault of his own falls in the line beside you canadians have not yet felt the pinch of the conflict the way to victory is a hard one only thosewho fight on to the finish will aid victorys eaue iou on the home front are asked to fight on make sure that acton sends a naval gun each month if we can d more lets do it but lets be sure that acton does what is required of her dont let it be said trfat your part of the line failed weve held splendidly thus far fight on buy war savings to your limit after victory will come the return of your money with good interest v halloween conjr acton young folks sure deservelolie compliment ed upon their general conduct on halloween prop erty damage was a minimum this year and we believe young folk had a good time too it certainly is to their credit in these days when conservation of everything is so necessary that they refrained for the most part from tactics that are too frequently perpetrated on this night pf the year there were ahellouta at most homes and liberal ones too there waa nothing lost by either the visi tors or the visited in their calls and a lot of ui waa provided after all life would be pretty dull if all fun were put out of it the part that is pleas ing is that the young folks of today are learning that fun can be had without bringing sorrow and ex pense on some one else we congratulate acton young folk on their out look of life wo congratulate tho older folk on par ticipation in this better method of halloween ob serving v the poppy fund the local branch of the canadian legion is mak ing its annual poppy day appeal to the people of this community friday and saturday the poppy fund is now a recognized institution wherever the canadian legion exists in canada and it serves a twofold purpose of much merit the money which is raised by the distribution of the poppy the sym bol of sacrifice is used entirely to relieve unusual distress among war veterans and their families at all times it has been found that the veterans in view of the fact that many of them have disabilities and handicaps suffer even wore than others who are out of employment since many of them require special care and attention which they are unable to provide this is wherethe poppy fund raised through the sale of poppies by the local branch ofthelegion steps in and provides relief for the situation this twofold appeal should find a ready response in the hearts and minds of the people of this com munlty which has always been ready to make the wtty easier for those of its citizens who served coun try and empire in the great war and in this present conflict we commend it to your sympathetic con sideration in the hope that you will respond gener ously and thus help to hold the torch flung to you by those who did not come back v editorial notes never mind what the colonel will any meglnnls i need you 3nturdaya when i shop there still seems to be

who feel it their duty to criticize caandas conduct of the war that they are addressing not only canadians but indirectly an audience of 130 million people cross the border including elements who may
