Vol. 5 — No, 45 5 anette RSS a! lS i ae) : re b & yy wt hy hg Jim Bell This is Monday — Armistice Day ‘Oh what a beautiful morning, Oh what a beautiful day, Oh what a beautiful morning, Everything’s going my way.” That was the chorus of a song that was popular about twenty years ago. The chap, that I heard singing it, had just won an elec- tion. I wonder who will be sing- ing after the Municipal Election that will be coming off shortly? That is something that we will have to wait to find out. From all reports, there will be some new contestants. The more, the better. It. is tog bad that they are not taking a vote on the sewer question, then we would really know just how the majority of the ratepayers feel about it. IT had better keep out of politics, how- ever, even Municipal, or I will be getting in wrong with some one. I seem to have a knack for doing that anyway. Some one asked me on the street the other day, to tell them the secret of keeping young. Here's the answer, The first rule is live right and that rule takes in practically all the rest. Don’t indulge in liquor or tobacco. They won’t do you any good and are likely to do you harm. Don’t be afraid to work hard. It keeps your brain and body both exer- cised. Give friendship and you -will win friendship. Lastly, don’t worry. To sum it all up, if you are obeying the first rule, you won't. have anything to worry about. _ To-day is Armistice Day, 1963. _ Forty-six of them have come and gone. To the younger generation, it is only a name, but to us older 1 REMEMBER ones, good friends and comrades who did not come back. “They paid the price to that grim mon- ster war, And though the world) washed clean with: blood so red,” alas, the r still growls. The only thing’ ‘that we cafi do is hope and pray that it won’t come to anything more than that. Tn looking through my files for something that would fit in with the Memorial Service to-day, I came attoss the erder of service for both the Memorial Services of Queen Victoria and King Hd- ward VII.
