Fraise Not Enough 'Praise for aur dcad will nev- er cease, but praise is not enough", Ca pt. Cales toid tPe audience. "Wýe must flot only praise, but emulate. Emulate the Christian principles for which they died - for sureiy there could be no more endur- ing monument than this." "This Remembrance D a y should not only be a time ta reminisce," he continued. "We should also look forward, ta tel aur chIldren not oniy of the bravery o! those who died, but ta train them ta hold high tPe same spiritual values for xvhieh they fought. Self Concern Lets Us Forget "Prosperity tends ta make us forget. Peace, as such. bas pro- duced a cuit of self interest for many, in which personal secur- ity, comfort, wealth and pleasure are o! paramount cancern. "Let us remind ourselves, however, that God did not grant us vietory just so we couid boast our awn strezigth and superior- itv. He did sa that we could vindicate ta the whole worIid tPe Christian values andi stand- ards of life that are better thao the values and standards of scientifie, yet pagan, material- is m. Future Unsatisfactory "The growing materialis-m andi indifference ta spiritual values make tPe future way of living unsatisfactary", b e allscrted. "There surely is a need for us ail ta return ta tPe roots out of which aur life sprang, namely loyalty ta Christian priticipies, xith Gad ruiing in aur h-arts and ail tPe activities in aur lives.

God said ta His early people, 'oniy take heed ta thyseif, and keep thy soul dili- gent, lest thou farget the things which thine eygs have seen. And lest they depart from thy heart all tbe days of thy life:, but teach them to thy sons, and thy son's sons'. Must Retain Our Principles "And we again remind aur- selves at this time of remem- brance, for tbis they fought, ta break the ebain of feer, ta still the voice of Pate and to preserve the rigbt to worsbkp." Captain Cales recalled the November il of 1918 when the Armistice xvas signed. "Since then we'have had another w ar and the. succeeding generations marched off to fight to preserve our principles of living," he said.

O'Neil Speculates On Changing World At Canadian Club With a desire to be provo- cative rather than persuasive, A. E. O'Neii set forth his spe- culations of this changing worlcl to the Bowmanviiie Mens Can- adian Club last Wednesday. Over 80 members attended the first meeting of the club year held in the Ebenezer Church. The guest speaker is a noted educationalist and was principal of the Oshawa Col- legiate and Vocational Insti.. tute from 1928 to 1950. He is now retired. Mr. O'Neii asked the mem- bers to imagine that ail of the Canadian Club Elects New Off icers J. C. Alldread was elected president of the Bowmanvil!e Men's Canadian Club for 1957- 58 at the first meeting o! the year heid in Ebenezer Churili last Wednesday. He succeeds Charles Osborne. Vice president for the com- ing year will be Neil Porter while A. H. Davis xiii assume the duties of secretary-treasur- çr.

Comprising the Nominating Committee will bc Charles Os- borne. Ross Stevens and Gor- don E]liott. Auditors are L. W. Dippeil and D. R. Morrison. world's twenty-six hundred million population was ,ie off the face of the earth ina mass demise. "If that weie to Pappen" he said, "tPe world would stil, go on as it had before. The anly things to miss human beings would be the domesticated ani- mais. Over a period o! time Na- ture would corne back and the earth would be as At was in the beginning of time. Ail that man had done and accomplished would be obliterated." "We consider ourselves very Important in this world but wc are not. We are oniy important to ourseives and one another." Transferring to another lune o! thought Mr. O'Neil polnted aut that historicaily the unpros- perous nations have aiways subdued tPe prosperous nations. "Civilizations ail through bis- tory have arisen, flourished, declined and decayed", he sa.d. "There is' no reason to believe that our civîlization will flot do the samne. It is true that we are living in a changing world but it is flot always a progres- sive worlid." How can we survive what ap- pears ta be an inevitable fate he Asked. "The world has becomne so small that we must accept the fact that there is going ta be a fusion or amalgamation cf races," he said. The British Isies he thought was one ex- amnple of a tolerably success- fui amalgamation o! races. Tbe '"so-cailed barbarian ra- ces" are continualiy striving Lo becomne part o! aur western civilization Pc said. And these tninority groups, he painted1 out, are graduaiiy being accept- ed into our way Df life. It wvould be a brilliant ae- complishment if the best feu- tures of ahl races cauld be pre- served and this in turn amal- gamated into one race Pc thought. "It would be far bet- ter than breaking up into small groups and fightîng eachi oth,ýr." Mr. O'Neil was introduced by L. W. Dippeil, principal of Bow- manville High School and thanked by Frank Rickard, Newcastle. New members at the meeting Wednesday were D. Higgin, L. R. Jones, Ernest Laird, W. R.
