THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, THlftSDAY, NOVEMBER 10th, 1938 $2.00 a year in advance; $2.50 to U. S. A. Vox Nostrae Scholae Jack Seed, who did his first public speaking at the Colborne High School when a pupil here, was one of the four students selected to lead the debate on Chamberlain's action at Munich, before an audience at Hart House recently, at which Professor Wallace was the guest speaker. Professor Wallace addressed an oratorical contest of the High School in the Town Hall here a few years ago. Jack Muskett and Mac Pettlbone enrolled at the High School this past week. A delightful story of modern pioneer life in Alberta is that written by Kathleen Strange, entitled "With the West in Her Eyes." While she describes interestingly the actual experiences of pioneer men and women on the prairie she does recall to others, experiences that are not unfamiliar to people in this neighbourhood. At her first auction sale, after she had summoned up courage to shout out her price abotve the clamor of strange voices, she noticed a "good sized copper waslnboiler in which were packed a dozen or more half-gallon glass jars or sealers and a sewing-machine that appeared in good condition. I managed to secure both the; boiler and the sewing-machine and carried them home with me quite elated at what I had considered to be my bargains. But when I came to examine the boiler, I found that the bottom was pierced with tiny holes, and that many of the sealers were cracked, which rendered the entire purchase practically valueless. When, later, I looked up the price of sewing-machines in a furniture catalogue, I discovered that for two dollars less than I had paid for the relic I had secured, I could have purchased a new one." Born in Old London, married to a husband from Old London too, Kathleen Strange lived to see h band earn the distinction of winning the World's Wheat ramipionship at the Chicago International Exposition within but a few years after both of them served their country in France in the Great War. But to that triumph the wife contributed her share surely. First one hundred bushels of wheat were run through a Marot cleaner several times until reduced a plateful at a time and all discolored, shrunken and off-type kernels rejected. Lastly a barrel churn was taken and lined with flannel and then with silk. Into this was put the grain It was 'gently swished around i: When the Grain was taken out it looked almost too beautiful to be But success was not achieved without disappointments that would discourage most souls. "After all, this is a country of next years. There's always next year and the promise of what next year will bring forth." "Next year? How sick I got of hearing those words. They are a common expression among all Western farmers. Yet :.i ^rhaps it is because of his eternal liith in the morrow that there is atiy West at all."

The world inlay already have forgotten that nations are made of individuals. The Munich agreement may be nothing more than a scrap of paper. The deeply-welcomed promise of "Peace for our time" may be empty and without foundation. If son, Remembrance Day this year is nothing but a hollow sham. Should the nations once more take up arms and "let slip the dogs of war," Remembrance Day may better Ibe forgotten. Forgetfulness is better than hypoc- But if men have not lost their high estate of reason, and if governments have not wholly laid aside -charity and mercy, Remembrance Day holds a deep and inspiring significance. War has hovered so closely above us in these days that we have savoured the dread of its approach. And In the respite that has been granted us, we commemorate Remembrance Day and revere the memory of the men who served in "the war 'The message of those men is insistent. Their fervent desire was that there might be no more of the squalor and waste and horror of war. The common people have listened to that message and concur in it. The relief and joy that the people of all countries experienced when the agreeiment at Munich was successfully concluded is all the proof that is needed to show their attitude. And the fact that it was possible to avert war by consultation and agreement, no matter how unsatisfactory the agreement may seem to some, is evidence that the rulers of the people desire peace. The message of those we remember on the eleventh of November is the message of peace, their foe was hysteria and intolerance and ignorance.
