PAGE MVE THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, BOWMANVILLE, THURSDAY, ýZOVEMBER 3rd, 1932 CAPT. T. F. BEST TO SPEAK AT BANQUET Rev. Capt. T. F. Best, Whltby. wefl knowr. lecturer, athiete, humorist, evangelist. and Religlous Work Sec- retary of the National Council of the Y. M. C. A., bas consented ta speak at the Canadian Legian Ar- mistice banquet on the evening of November llth at St. John's Parlsh Hall. Tam Best has had a distin- guished military career, serving dur- ing the South African War as Y. M. C. A. secretary to the Canadian troops, and during the Great War as Senior Y. M. C. A. oficer. During the war he helped in raising enor- mous sums af money for this work, and aroused in Canada a true ap- preciation of what the boys in the trenches were undergoing. Mr. Best is a delightful yet forceful speaker. His delicate Irish wit permeates his everyeaddress and his messages are messages of aptiniism and happi- ness. There should be a large turn- out at this banquet. WHAT HAVE WE DONE TO-DAY? We shaîl do so much in the years tc, came But what have we done ta-day? We shaîl give aur 'gold in a prince- ly sum, But what did we give to-day? We shaîl lif t the heart and dry the tear. We shaîl plant a hope in the place of fear. We shaîl speak the wards af love and cheer, But what did we speak to-day? We shaîl be so kind if the after while, But what have we been to-day? We shaîl bring ta each lonely lufe a smile, But what have we brought today? We shaîl give to truth a grander birth, And ta steaclfast faith a deeper worth. We shaîl feed the hungering souls of earth, But wham have we fed ta-day? We shaîl reap such jays in the bye and bye, But what have we sown ta-day? We shaîl build us mansions in the sky, But what have we built to-day? 'Tis sweet in idie dreams ta bask. But here and now, do we do aur task? 'Yes, this is the thing aur souls must ask: What have we dane to-day? --Selected. When we think ta, catch we are sometimes caught. Church Parade Members af the Legion will bold their annual Armistice Day Church Parade on Sunday evening, Novem- ber 6th, ta St. John's Anglican Church. Members are asked to meet at the Town Hall at 6.45 p. m. sharp wbere the Canadian Legion Band will lead the parade ta the church. The padre ai the Branch, Rev. C. R. Spencer, will preach the sermon. PRESIDENT APPEALS FOR PUBLIC SUPPORT IN POPPY FUND CAMPAIGN President R. M. Cotton af the Canadian Légion bas issued the fol- lowing Poppy Day Appeal: Saturday, Nov. 5th. will be ob- served in Bowmanville as Poppy Fund Day and under the auspices of the Canadian Legion a tag day will be staged in aid of thls fund. In the days of the Great War citizens pledged themselves ta serve, and they may still do so. Disabled and distressed veterans are looking to You ta carry their pack. You can do this througb the Poppy Day Campaign. Do you know wbat the Poppy means? Do you know how and by wham it is made? Do you knaw that each year there is an in- creasingly larger number of aur comrades wbo will need your belp in carrying their pack? If you do not know the answers ta these ques- tions, we would suggest that your full duty remains undone and we would urge that you acquaint your- self with the answers. The Poppy is symbolical af the brave Canadians whose mortal re- mains lie buried in the battlefleld ai France and Flanders. Trhe Poppy is made by veterans wbo derive a livelihood f rom the work. Of course you know that each year more and more veterans are "burning out," The effects af the years in the tren- ches is telling on their constitutions and they are no longer able to carry on their work. This is because they made the sacrifice that you and yours migbt enjoy freedom and peace, and safety from the invasion af the oppressor. Wben the tagger greets you on the street next Saturday, _please be as generous as you can. Every cent will be used for welfare wark among the returned soldiers, in co-opera- tion with the Public Welfare Board. Pappy Day demands ai you a re- membrance o! the sacrifice made by these men in leaving homes and loved ones for your sake. Surely you have not forgotten the days Fwben you cheered tbem on towards that field of Armageddon, the bloody and bitter f ields of Great War activity.
