Fire Protection To Be Increased Liberals Announce Plans For New Riding ‘here is a tendency, as the years progress, for people to become forgetful of the sacrifice made by our servicemen. Armistice Day does not hold for them the spirit of respect that it should. The twoâ€"minute silence is but an inconvenience. Certain industrics no longer grant time off for exâ€"scivicemen to attend services, people hesitate about going to.church on the Sunday prior to Armistice Day because they feel bored by the procecedings they know in advance will take place. The memories of war are fading, all that remains in the minds of too many people is the movie war, the glamour war. A fellow that served oversens is grected with such expressions as "What a time you must have had," "How are the pubs in England?" "the cafes in Brussel‘s?" . . . they forget that these same fellows are the ones that charged onto the beaches of Normandy, got battered to pieces on the Scheldt or fought from farmhouse to farmhouse across Holland and Germany. They are the same ones that flew operational missions with the Air Force, no heat in their aircraft, cramped quarters and no rations for hours at a time, antiâ€"aircraft fire reaching up to kill them during eighty per cent of their flying time. They forget about the sailor spending weeks at sea, no mail, tosed about like a cork, never seeing land or home folks, cold, wet and miserable mo:# of the time with the everâ€"present threat of a torpedo or shell crashing into your ship. Glamour, huh! Thousands of Canadian servicemen have died in two great wars. They were killed by enemies of our country, They served where the going was toughest. They were given a certain amount of respect during the wars, they deserved more. Let us remember them on Armistice Day. Thoir bodies were torn apart by hot steel, let us at least remove our hats and stand silent for two minutes in their memory.
