Public, Council, All Get Going Over Editor's note:-- Due to illness it was impossible for the editor to be present when Brigadier Cassidy spoke at the Canadian Legion Remembrance Day Din- ner, and therefore we couldn't carry a proper report in last week's paper. We felt that his address was of considerable im-, portance, and have therefore ob- tained the full text. We also a short comment by Mayor Cooke. Mr. Chairman, distinguished guests, comrades, ladies and gentlemen: Another year has rolled a- round, and again I am privileged in-being asked to address you on Rememberance Day. I wish to thank you most heartily for this honour and for your kind invitation to Mrs. Cassidy and myself to be with you at this fine dinner. I am not at all sure, however, that you will be in the same welcoming mood when I have finished this talk. In fact, I am not too sure that this is the right time and place to give it. I can only plead beforhand that I was never so sincere in my life nor never felt such necessity of saying what I am about to say. To-day you and I _ witnessed and took part in a solemn cere- 5 mony. made more special by the unveiling of a new tablet, f the names -of those who made the ulimate sacrifice in the las¢ 1nuch war. We were all moved, I know,--we all felt the solem- nity; we are all proud that this work was undertaken and com- pleted. But if this is the end of it--if tomorrow we return to our daily lives completely un- changed--then it is a mockery. The names are there, but noth- ing is gained if no one looks at them, still less is gained if they bring no knowledge or meaning to the minds of our citizens, old and young, and _ still less again is gained if the minds and souls of our people are not illuminat- ed by the flame which these noble names stand for and pro- claim. If this is to be the case, then we have paid only lip-ser- vice to-day. I very much fear that lip-service is becoming the unfortunate symbol of our Can- adian life in the present era. In every field of endeavour, we see signs of it. For example, in the field of religion, there has recently been a marked increase in the number of church mem- bers. Yet only a few weeks ago a responsible group of clergy- men expressed the fear that this increase might be considered, a blessing, not a curse. They state that religion, and church- going-have now apparently he- come "respectable" to people who formerly either scorned or were tnware of religion In other words, there is reason to believe that church membership is too often sought only for its prestige value, like a member- ship in a country club. A similar attitude has cropped up in the jports and entertainment fields Published statements of prize fighters and football coaches say: "We won because God was in our corner", Twenty years ago you would never have heard neh things; now they -aré-fash ionable. Are they really meant? Is the rock and roll singer really honest when he sings so fami- liarly (and blasphemously) about "pals with che man up- being stairs" ? The proof of the pudding 1s in the eating. Has this upsurge of so-called religion had any pract- ical efforts on the morals that make for basic health and de- cency in our everyday life' Is. for instance, the padded expense account on the way out? Are honesty, forthrightness, truth and honour returning to our politics. Does our charity to the eee | GIRL GUIDE ASSOCIATION Monday, November 25th at 7.00 p.m. Rummage Sale!

Is it not possible that the urgent problem of juvenile delinquency is only the resuit of our . youth having seen through our sham behaviour, and of their showing usin their own way what they think of the whole miserable business? Have we really--our- selves--held or given any of that "illumination from the torch held high"? You may smile at this point. There has never been any short- age of critics to "view with alarm" and to prophesy doom. Somehow the human race _ has always muddled along. But we must remember, that, although civilization has tended to pro- gress, there has always been a constant ebb and flow oi civiliz- ations. The story of the birth, the growth, the decline and the death of nations is a common- place of history. And if history has any value at all, it is to give us a handy crystal ball in whick we can read our own future as a nation, or as a_ civilization. Please allow me to quote here from a great philosopher-hist- orian, Philip Toynbee. In his examination of the rise, decline and: fall of civilizations, he notes that a certain pattern always occurs. At the outset, a minority of the people become leaders. Py their energy, by their imagi- nation, by their charm, but most of all by their self-sacrifice turns to self-interest--the lead- erg cease to be originators---~ they pay lip-service to the slo- gans and beliefs that had made them great--and then the mass of the nation or civilization stagnates until either one of two things happens: an internal revolt occurs, led by a new group of self-sacrificers, or an onslaught comes from~ outside that submerges and drowns that civilization. In either case, the flame had obviously gone out. Are there any warning signs that such a flame is beginning to flicker? We've mentioned one-lip-service. There ave many others: the wilingness of our leaders to settle for the cheap victory, the shoddy goal, the im- mediate gain; their willingness to adopt the eXpendiant plan, and to use the double standard oi diplomancy to gain their ends.Ort the part of the mass of the peo- ple we can note the willingness tc accept the second-best in every field of culture, the breaking of old molds without making new and good ones to replace them, the decline in family life....one could go on for some time. But the one great signal of decline is the general failure cn the part of of us to really face up to our responsibilities as citizens. Just a year ago tonight, the topic of Civil Defence was in- troduced at this dinner by His Worship, Mayor Cooke. A short while after, I was appointed a Coordinator of Civil Defence for the Tri-Town Area, this after a two-year search for another person willing to take it on. I'd like to run over with you briefly the history of our Committee to date, to outline some of the problems we have met with, and leave it to you to decide for yourselves whether or not we have here in Hailey- bury, or in the three towns generally, faced up to our fes- ponsibilities. I won't bore you with too much detail. A committee of twelve was set up, four from each town, and sub-committees (continued on page 7) Mrs. M. A.

I find that it has taken its toll, not only in phy- sical reserves but in financial reserves as well, No doubt this decision will come as a shock to Libera! sup- porters in this area but this will be momentary as we have many well qualified citizens who will be pleased and honoured to be the candidate under the Liberal banner, I will be pleased to help in anyway I can but I no_ longer have the physical reserves to earn a living, look after my own affairs, see something of my family and at the same _ time wage the type of campaign that appears to be necessary today.

Sutherland Dies Publisher and Sportsman By John Hunt Duncan E. Sutherland, former publisher of this newspaper and a newspaperman of some 5 years experience, died in Sunny- brook hospital yesterday. Mr. Sutherland was a man of varied talents, 'perhaps best known for his capacity for mak ing friends rather than for his aggressiveness aS a newspaper- man. Keenly interested in sport, which he regarded as an infegral part of community affairs. Mr. Sutherland was particularly well known among curlers and hoc- key fans. One of the old school of news- paperman, Mr. Sutherland was < former mechancial superintend- ent of the Daily Nngget. He entered into partnership with the late Tom Leishman in 1919 and the two published the Haileyburian, which is still Nor- thern Ontario's oldest weekly newspaper. When the plant was wiped out in the 1922, fire they reopened from Mr. Leishman's home until the present building was constructed. Mr. Sutherland was born i Renfrew county in 1890, the eldest son of the late George and Mary Sutherland. As a young man he joined the 158th Battal- ion and transferred to the 26th Battalion of the Signal 'Corps during the first World War. Keenly interested in sports, he actively supported the golf club, curling club, and the Northern Ontario Hockey Association, of which he was a former secretary and former president. He is survived by his wife, the former Evelyn Ohesser, and two daughters, Mrs. L. E. Howell, of Jamestown, and Mrs. D. A. Faw- cett of Cochrane. Six brothers also survive. They are, George, Kirkland Lake: Douglas, Englehart; James. Schumacher; Bill, North Bay: and Earl and Ken of . Nanaimo, B.C. Three sisters surviving are Mrs. Roy Lafferty, Schumacher ; Mrs. Percy Grozelle and Mrs E. Carmichael, Haileybury. The funeral service will be held from MHaileybury United Church Friday, at 3:30 p.m., with interment in the veteran's plot at Mount Pleasant. THE MAYORS REPLY I -wish -to state that the Town Council is NOT trying to eliminate the Militia in the tri- town area. | was approached by a high ranking officer from Oakville and it was suggested that the town terminate the rink agreement and get out o1 as an alternative spend $1200, on repairs to the rifle range or shorten the ice surface, It seemed imperative that the children of Haileybury and their main winter sport should be our first consideration. The Council decided that, to get action, the matter should be brought to the attention of the Minister of Defence. Naturally attention has been focussed on the local militia and they are in the position of having to justify their exestence, not because of any action of Council but be- cause of economy measures sponsored by the Department of National Defence. The fine old Algonquin Regi- ment with its battle scars and hattle honours is loved and re- spected by each member of the council and myself and should never have been brought into this controversy.
