There were special draws for the- ladies and much good-natured banter between president; Steve Nimigon and Garnet Rickard who arrived late' and was presented with a bagged bun for dinner, until the kitchen crew took pity on him.. Also enjoyed were a few remarks by the Reverend Ed Schamerhom who had, unfortunately, misplaced a poem. As far as anyone knows, he is still determinedly searching for it. It was this writer's privilege to fill the role of guest speaker for the evening, evening, an opportunity, to say out loud what many Canadians are feeling as they are caught up in the confusion of the multi-cultural, feminist, and sexual sexual revolution.

"Canadians should feel grateful , (and not guilty) that they live in a relatively relatively stable society that can produce. produce. They should feel proud (and not apologetic) when they stubbornly uphold the morality, faith, work ethic and value systems that have forged this nation into what it is today - the best place to live in the entire world." Although Canadians should strive to eradicate social injustice wherever that is a real concern, little sympathy was extended to the "endless list of self-interest groups", who place the concept of collective 'rights' over individual individual responsibility, or who pro-, mote "heritage above country." A warm and responsive audience listened to the personal and often humorous humorous anecdotes of the Fraser family family during the years when the sexual and multi-cultural revolutions was literally literally brought home by three female offspring, who turned the dinner table table into a United Nations assembly with a particular welcome for (male) Hispanic refugees. These shared experiences "have added excitement, richness and blessings blessings to our lives, furthered our education, education, restored our faith in human nature nature and broken down a thousand stereotypes." But as tales of wars, deprivation, chaos and terror began to emerge, it reinforced the importance of maintaining maintaining a proven value system and way of life. It also created a "new humility humility and a deep and profound sense of gratitude that we live where we do." A recent trip to Venezuela, has even more forcefully "brought this home to us." There to visit newly- acquired in-laws and daughters who were at school in Caracus, the Frasers were warmly welcomed and royally treated by their extended family. But, they discovered the beauty of the country and climate did not compensate compensate for the indescribable poverty, frustrations and dangers of every day existence in this South American city. "We returned home with a very warm feeling for our cold and snowy Canada. We were back to human rights and human dignity, to a place of stability, reason, and relatively speaking, an enormous amount of trust. It made us want to say to those who are constantly whining about social social injustice in this country - if you think you can get a better deal anywhere anywhere else in the world - go for it!" When the speech ended, a gracious gracious thank you was extended by Tom Gatchell, but it isn't often a guest speaker has the opportunity to return thanks to her audience for their warm response or for the lovely ]gift chosen with such thoughtful care.

The Navy League Tag Days this year are on April 22, 23 and 24th. This is the one time of the year the Sea Cadets themselves go out and solicit solicit funds from the general public to support the local Sea Cadet Corps.
