SAMUEL FARMER, Ben Smith Saves Six Persons from Burning Boat on Lake Scugog Ben Smith, while making his usual calls at the cottages, Lakeside Beach, Lake Scugog, delivering vegetables ana rut was startled with cries for hielp coming trom the direction of the lake, and saw tlames on a motor boat. He amneaiately ran to the shore some one hundred yards away and commandeered a large punt that was resting on the shore, and rowed to the rescue of those in distress. On draw- ing along side of the burning.craft he found it carried six persons, Mr. and Mrs. Stewart, and Miss Bella Willis, all aged people, Bud and Betty Mathews, all of Toronto, and Mrs. Cephas Sleep who was in charge of the boat. With the assistance~of Mrs, Sleep, Smith managed to help the elderly trio in the punt and bring them to shore safely. Bud and Betty plunged into the water: and started to swim ashore, they were later picked up by cottagers in another" boat. The burning craft had a canopy top which made the rescue work all the more difficult, Shortly after the rescue was com- pleted the boat sank out of sight. It is thought the engine back fired and started the blaze. Much praise is spoken for Mr. Smith for his quick action of rescue and presence of ind in bringing the passengers ashore 'I'he people rescued seem to be none the worse for their trying experience, 1 was. 1 was Glens third hit of the day, a single, a double, and a home run in four times at the bat.

To-day as we think of the many veterans and their' families who are sailing for France to attend the un- veiling of the Canadian Memorial at Vimy, our thoughts turn to-a poem written by one who fell near Lens in 1917. It is called "Remembrance" and reads as follows: When war's last thunder dies And we, who made the thunder, cleanse our hands, Desert the guns and raise our weary eyes From these untended fields to peace- ful lands And clear unclouded skies, stands With freedom saved fice." ". When 'all this comes to be-- For ever this great vision will come 'by-our red sacri- true-- What will you do, you who will then be free By virtue of our pain? What will _.you do? Will you come over here with silly oo zeal . ' To walk about the places of our pride, And mumble foolish words, and, gaping, stare . At ruins rendered holy by our steel, Unnumbered suffering men have bled and died? Will you with guide and guide-book, come to gaze Upon these mighty places as you come To scatter paper scraps along the ways That are the soul of Canada's soul at home Will you stand on these hills now = wracked with war And look across these valleys that will be So green and tranquil then, and never see With your weak eyes our long ranks rush and roar In furious battle? Will you never aay To your own secret heart that all these true i" And noble men who suffered agony, Did splendid deeds and laid their lives away, ' Did all these things for you? Is that what you shall do? Or--shall you come in silence and alone To walk with reverence through the fields and find The fading signs that trace out where we stood, The long-since crumbled trenches, overgrown 1 With weeds and grass that murmur in the wind, The rotting shelters in the empty. wood That hid our flashing guns, and roam the towns (Continued on page 8) AETHER ENTERS and we trust no ill effect will follow.
