G The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville. November 21,1990 Lions Hear Remembrance Day Message by Lorna Miller "We dare not forget," said Rev. Doug Warren, guest speaker at the annual Remembrance Remembrance Day meeting of the Bowmanville Lions Club. Rev. Warren spoke to the Lions and guests including members of the Bowmanville Bowmanville Legion, Branch 178, on the evils, causes, and consequences consequences of war. "There is not much to be proud of in war, except pride for those who fought and died for us. Their sacrifice must not be forgotten," he said. Rev. Warren paid tribute to the over 55 million who perished in World War Two to keep the world free. He noted the changes technology has made in the way we wage war today. "Less than half a century ago, a bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Hiroshima, changing the concept concept of war forever. In 1918, war took to the air when Zeppelins dropped 270 tons of Dombs on Britain. In 1940-42, there were 50,000 tons of bombs dropped on Britain. In 1942-1945, 75,000 tons of bombs were dropped on Germany. The face of war had changed, he said. "Today's arsenal has 700,000 times the killing power of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. It is time to think about the possibilities we may face in the future." In speaking on the consequences consequences of war which linger after the guns have stilled, Rev. Warren told of one of many soldiers who had returned returned from the war suffering suffering from shell-shock. His shattered nerves created a neurosis so explosive that his family had to announce their intentions when coming coming near him, even for a kiss, lest he strike out at them, thinking they were a long-ago enemy. "War takes its toll. Our freedoms come at a formidable formidable price." Rev. Warren holds this theory about how wars are started: "Selfishness begins wars," he said. "That old T of selfishness conjures up suspicion, fear, and mistrust, mistrust, goaded on by our ignorance ignorance of other peoples." "But," Rev. Warren continued, continued, "there are examples of humanity even on the battlefield. battlefield. One day, when men in the trenches were firing on each other over a stillstanding stillstanding farmhouse, a four- year-ola child wandered out the door and onto the field. Both sides immediately ceased fire and watched the child at play. All was quiet until the child's mother ran out and took her inside. For that instant, peace ruled the battlefield." Rev. Warren extolled his audience to learn to share their abundant blessings with the world. "In the free countries, which are ten per cent of all the population, 90 per cent of all tne goods in the world are consumed. We must learn to share. If everyone could accept that we all own the earth and its resources, we would not be on the eve of another war with Iraq." Two minutes of silence were observed to remember our blessings and those who died that we might enjoy them. Ron White introduced Rev. Warren and Jim Rickard Rickard thanked him on behalf of the Club for his inspiring words. Jim Connell, president of the Bowmanville Legion Branch 178 and Doreen Park, President of the Legion Legion Ladies' Auxiliary, expressed expressed their thanks to the Lions Club for hosting the evening. Linda Staples and Dr. R. Kimmerly of the St. John Ambulance, were presented with a donation of $1,000 to replace to lost mannequins used in demonstrations of w Prices effective at Miracle Food Mart and Miracle Ultra Mart in all departments subject to availability until Sat.

Other proposals for the WAN experiment include increasing increasing the efficiency of the production of board curriculum curriculum documents and resources resources as curriculum committee members. Teachers and resource resource staff can meet at their own convenience, through the computer, and reduce the number of meetings meetings and the amount of travel travel time. The network could also assist students with interests interests in certain subjects find other students with similar interests when no one else is available locally.
