EDITORIAL Such is the patriot's boast, wh ere'er we roam, his first, best count ry ever, is at home.--Goldsmith. Ce REMEMBRANCE The greatest tribute which we can pay to the memory of those who gave their lives that we might be free is to heed John McCrae's challenge: "Take up the quarrel with the foe; To you from falling hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with those who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields." : Our greatest danger in this "Remembrance" and "Welcoming" is that the ceremonies are too often looked upon as an end in themselves. Noth- in can be further from the fact. The soldiers, sailors, airmen, nurses, and other members of our armed services, give daily evi- dence that they don't want any fuss made over them. But they do want to enter civil life on an equality with the rest of us. At the moment "the foe" has ceased to be Ger- man or Japanese. What we have to fight is in- dividual and collective self-seeking. Our quarrel is with those who would rob the veteran, and mankind in general, of a square deal. The fight is against all those who take advantage of present unrest to enrich themselves at the ex- pense of those about them, and of the larger community to whom they are in honour bound to give adequate service, Each in our own place, our business is to do all the good we can, and don't make any fuss about it. That will be the very best "Remembrance" we can observe. * * & i "I'M STILL BEHIND" "t€hristion Science Monitor) By his own admission, that Boston Navy Yard worker who "hit? the daily double at a New Hampshire. race .track for nearly $9,000 is still "behind". He said he had been playing the horses for 12 years, and despite his "hitting the jackpot," . - they 'still: owed him money. This took no account -of time lost from work. While this bears out the adage, "You can't beat the horses," thousands of persons each year continue' to lose hard-earned dollars in gambling against jockeys, owners, and the:eccentricities of horseflesh, N The publicity given to these large winnings only serves to promote gambling. Even though ~the track operators were obliged to pay $29,202 to three ticketholders, the race track made. money. "The losers were the thousands who picked the wrong horses. Their money, of course, went to the three winners--minus a profitable "take" for 'the race-track owners, It's a '"'sucker's' game." . And legislators who foster its continued victimizing pf the poor are not real friends of the people, POOLING WORLD RESOURCES "An idea is not really personal property. . It comes to you and to me, born out of the exper- iences of humanity; and, as such, should be passed on for the good of humanity, What is true of itleas, is true of world resources. Millions of people over thousands of years have laboured to make the natural resources of the world available to human beings in useful form. Not a carpet tack or an atomic bomb has been produced through the agency of a single mind. Mankind daily makes contributions both for ma- terial and mental welfare, and mankind should have access to rld resources of both kinds. What should be adequately paid is the labour of production. Initial reward for invention while proper, should not become a millstone about humanity's neck. Two porpositions along these lines have re- cently been made, 1. By Sir John Boyd Orr, Director-General of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organ- izution, that a world wheat pool be formed; and 'that.the fact of its existence be told to the man on-the street, so that he becomes convinced that hunger in any part of the world is unnecessary. 2. That the findings of medical science be pool- ed, so that" human suffering may be alleviated. One might continue this thought along practi- cally every avenue of human endeavour; and, of ~course it has its limitations. Labour of production includes research in all its forms, and copyright laws do much to protect those who originate ideas. But mankind can be taxed too heavily for the benefit. which inventors,. writers, musicians and other producers bestow. . Here is a clipping which gives point to this con- tention for limiting the control which inventors should exercise over their productions. "James Caesar Petrillo again has exercised his "life and death" power over the radio broad- casters by "enforcing an_ unreasonable demand. If orchestra programs are carried by I'M (fre- quency modulation) outlets, as well ns by the pre- sent standard stations, a duplicate orchestra must be employed, he rules, to stand by during the broadcasting period. In the case of the New York Philharmonie-Symphony, for instance, 104 additional musicians would have to be hired--ta do nothing!" The basis of lasting peace is reasonable sharing of world resources, both physical and mental. No one need suffer because of such sharing, SRE Ear a UL ES ER LAE . es | £ nN Hin s TEN FE : 1d Ny Ry Ee -- Ee . 44 3 o PORT PERRY STAR PORT PERRY, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 8th, remem hy, a , 1945 WILLIAM PARROTT - KILLED BY AUTO About 6.30 Tuesday morning the body of William Parrott was found by V. Masci, a passing trucker, on the roadside, five hundred feet south of the County Road, a short distance north of | Myrtle Station, How the body came there; and by what means Mr. Parrott met his death are matters that are being investigated by the Provincial Police. Clues to the mystery are few, if any. Mr. Parrott was last seen about 6.30 p.m. Monday, when he was talking to Mrs. Holliday, of Prospect. The tragedy has all the marks of the work of a "hit and run" auto driver. Mr. Parrott was for many years a member of Reach Council, and was Reeve for three years. He was 76 years old at the time of his death. Recently he had a sale at his farm near Chalk Lake; and was intending fo retire from active farm work. His son Earle will carry on the farm. . Dr. G. M. Rennie, district coroner, said that an autopsy show hemorrhage and internal injuries. : VERY DESTRUCTIVE LIGHTNING Amos Rodd's house, near Greenbank, came in for a bad maul- ing in the freak electrical storm Tuesday night of last week. Mr. H. W. Emmerson, who is agent for the Company carrying Mr. Rodd's insurance, says that in twenty years' experience, he has never seen so great destruction from a single lightning storm. 'Here are some of the results of that electric striking. Just north of the house is a row of some twelve or fifteen trees, every one of which was struck, and a gaping hole 'was made in the ground. The brick work in the north-west corner of the house had a great hole punched in it. The plaster was badly broken in every room but one. The electric wiring was put out of commis- sion, and was badly burned. The transformer on the pole across the road was destroyed. The electrician says this was fortunate: otherwise the house might have been burned. All the doors and windows were blown out and the glass broken. The storm seemed to have special spite against the room in | the north-west corner where Mr. Rodd's daughter usually slept. Fortunately the lady was away in Toronto. - Everything in that room was smashed--dressing table, mir- ror, bureau, the latter having the drawers tumbled on the floor. IL was a complete job, if ever there was one. The family all escaped injury as they slept in the South side of the house; and it was not until morning that they realized how great had been the damage done. - It is pleasing to know that the loss is completely covered hy insurance. Ci - HALLOWEEN. DANCE The Hallowe'en Dance staged by Port Perry Lions, and the Port Perry Welcoming Committee, was a pleasant affair.

SE TE LOOKING AROUND A woman came into a leading dry goods store one day and spent hours questioning the salesgirls and having them bring out bolt after bolt of ma- terial without spending a penny. I'inally- one salesgirl asked: "Madam, are you shopping here?" The lady spoke indignantly: "Cer- tainly, what else would I be doing?" To which the girl purred: "Well, madam, we thought you were taking inventory." : "The real. defence against the atomic homb is a working peace." --Chairman Vinson, U.S.A. his parents at their hime here.

The evening of October 31st, was the occasion for the annual visit to the village of the weird, funny-faced speechless little people of Goblin-land --and some of the bigger ones, too, for there was a sailor lad; a full grown ghost; a gentleman with an unusual manly figure and small feminine hands ard feet; a lady with absurdly large hands and feet and even an animal of genus Sus was noticed making the rounds of the village. Tn spite of the fun and laughter at their expense these queer "humings" as "Lum" of the radio says, never batted an eye- lid or moved a face muscle. Silently they held up their bags for the meagre gifts offered them, for again this year there was only the occasional candy and peanut, no apples, a few cookies but lots of popcorn. However these were gladly accepted and the kids went happily on their way. - Mesdames Duchemin, Eyers, Luery and Harrison were among the fair sized crwod who heard Mrs. Dickson's address in Burn's Church, Ashburn on Friday evening.
