What Shall We Remember? SEVENTEEN YEARS AGO--November 11th, 1918--the order came-- "Cease Firing," and the actual fighting of the Great War was ended. But the scars remain; and, because of these, we keep "Remembrance Day." What shall we remember? Has the Great War { aded as a fantastic dream? Are the sixty thousand Canadian men forgotten who gave their lives for our protection? vice of those who survived? Have we brushed aside as unimportant the military ser- Have we nothing to remind us of their splendid sacrifice except the taxes which we must always pay? Has war become nothing but "news" and the means of securing profit from the manufacture of munitions? These are pertinent questions. Great as is the picture which they call to mind, there is a still greater - ~*/ picture. In the days of the Great War we came close to being an unselfish people. Men and women in all walks of life 'did their bit." It was a wonderful sight to see persons who had. national self-sacrifce seldom known in history. " was more important than getting with most of our folk, "been untrained in any marrual skill, do their best to knit® socks, wind ~~ drive Red Cross cars, and give themselves whole-heartedly to the ser It was wonderful to see poor folk give "sons and husbands, and further endure the pinch of poverty. It was inspiring to note the courage with which wives and . mothers faced bereavement and broken lives for "a scrap of paper." Were they mistaken? Possibly so, from a technical point of view, but there ~.was nothing mistaken in the fine spirit that prompted all this service, and this courageous endurance, in the face of in- ~~ finite danger hg eomiiied hardship. _. Self-sacrifice on the part of a whole people for the principles of freedom and * the protection of the weak, is a noble tribute to the possibilities of human "- greatness, No matter how mean and grasping were the men who really caused the war, the men and women who - gerved and fought did so with pure mo- "tives and high resolve, The grim deter- mination of that service is one of the 'brightest achievements in the annals of history; for most of us thought that such courage and endurance were not possi- ble with the people of to-day. Should we not attempt to re-capture something of that gpirit of unstinting service to humanity?

We reached a spirit of Giving bandages, pack bales, nurse soldiers, vice of their country. tress of the dependents of those soldiers who died for our country? War, which is'destruction, commands instant ser- vice. Peace has need of service just as great in results of national development. Canada needs thoughtful citizens, who are willing to assume the obligations of" public service. Canada has particular need of that service from the men and women of the younger generation. The older folk, who went through the terri- ble experiences of of 1914-1918, are fast passing away. It will be a tragedy be- yond words if another such war becomes part of the price that must be paid to rouse some people to a realization of their obligation to assume a fair share of the burden of making living condi- tions endurable for all citizens. The greatest causes of war are greed If the nations knew each other better, and made reasonable allowances for the necessities arising from national growth, there would not be many wars. : Munitions should not" be privately manufactured. Ten million lives are too great a price to pay for "'dividends." Remembrance Day should call to mind the greatness of unselfish service, i i Pte. Harold Thos.
