ARMISTICE DAY The celebration of Armistice Day this year seems to have been more generally observed throughout. the Worm than in any other year. With the exception of Germany and Russia the day of peace seems to have been pretty universally proclaimed. ‘-‘ LA ku“ 4“““n This is as it should be, but there is room for quite a lot of improve» ment before Armistice Day will go down with quite a lot Of citizens. Personally. we think it is a mistake to combine Armistice and Thanks- giving Days. and we might quite frankly go further and say that. we sometimes wonder what Thanks- giving Day is for anyway. Of re- cent years it appears to us that in- stead of being a day of thankful- ness it is rather a day when the majority clean up the old shotgun and take to the woods for a day’s hunting. Combining the two does not. in our opinion. make for the goml of Armistice Day. "' -__ __.-LA.. ‘_ ‘ C‘} ".l UL ALL L‘Lsuv-vv .â€" “.J _ In our mind, now that November 11 in each year is going to be ob~ served anyway, why cannot we go back to the old days and have 'l‘hanksgiving Day proclaimed for the third Thursday in November, or, if you prefer it, the third Monday. Wo- would like to see Armistice Day set apart and observed for what it is and not combined with Thanks- _. I“râ€"“nl\ giving Day as a day of pleasure. Theoretically, of course, the two days should work together, but practically. they won’t. We believe in the celebration of Armistice Day and in thus honoring our fallen soldiers. but we also be- lieve too that we should at the same time honor those of the living wha went overseas and received wounds or injuries which incapacitated them for active. successful lives as civi- lians. These men should be looked after. The Pension Board at Ottawa should be made to adequately pro- vide for these disabled men in a manner commensurate with their needs. Instead of trying to lop off a‘ certain number of the pensioners from year to year. or refusing a. pension to some man whose war‘ service is just now becoming appar- ent for the reason that he was At when discharged. the Pension Board should give them a little of that British Fair Play that they would exliect for themselves were they in the same. position. When recruiting was at its height we listened to the silver-tongued orators proclaiming that there was "nothing too good for the wounded soldiers”. Now is the time to “come across" with some of that good stuff. There are hundreds of disabled men in this country today who are not receiving half the pension they de- serve. and hundreds of others who have been given practically no con- sideration who are in dire need of such assistance. .. n o __. A--AA~.d‘m We do not believe in increasing our pension debt any more than is necessary. but. we do maintain that. this country is well enough off to take care of its young manhood whose whole future was ruined by wounds received in overseas ser- vice.

But, no matter where he goes he will find that his home town is not the only one that, moves slowly. In fact things are apt to move slower in the town where he is a stranger. It will take him a long time to get acquainted and, during that time he is really an unâ€" known quantity, who needs to be tried out before he is given respons- ible work. In his home town, if he has done well as a student and at whatever work he has taken up he has something to start with in the way of reputation. The home town is usually the best place for a young man to start in.â€"â€"-K1ncard1ne Re- view-Reporter. Not Less Than Marvelous The comment of Righ Hon. Reg- inald McKenna that “the day will come when the Mother Country will take second place to Canada?" leads the Financial Times, Montreal, to say that modest Canadians who may have seen in it graceful flat~ tery will probably blush over the remarks of The American Banker, which says that assertions of this kind "do not surprise those who have been paying attention to the miracle of nation-building in evi-i dence to the North.” This author- ity. enlarging on Mr. McKenna’s ’commeut. says that Canada will soon take the front rank as a source of world gold supply, but that “the real miracle in Canada has been the expansion of wheat production." It adds. “Mr. McKenna was well advised in makii g his assertions and predictions.

Figures are pre- sented for twenty-five leading de- nominations, showing that they have grown almost fifty per cent. in the last twenty years, and that the rela- tive growth of membership in this period was 9.9 per cent. greater than the growth of the population during the same length of time. Dr. Charles S. Macfarlane, general sec‘: retary of the Council, explains that the statement is given to the public “in response to many inquiries as to the validity and significance of the puplic announcement, accredited to Dr. H. K. Carrol, church statisti- cian, that ‘the total yearly loss of Protestant Church in the United States would approximate about half a million.’ ”-â€"â€"Acton Free Press. The Conservative Party Vote Because the Conservative party has only one member from Western Canada, Hon. R. B. Bennett, the new leader, there is a tendency for Lib- eral papers to talk as if the party were a dead issue in the West. It is safe in saying that delegates who attended the recent Winnipeg con- vention came back with a difi’erent idea. They were impressed with the virile leadership of the Con- servative party in the West. What is more, in the last election the Liberal party polled 200,542 votes in the three Prairie Provinces... while the Conservatives polled 200,- ‘138, only 404 less. Yet the former secured 23 seats and the Conserva- tives only one. In Manitoba the Conservatives polled 83,100 votes and did not secure a single seat. while the Liberals with only 36,242 votes, elected four members. In Saskatâ€" chewan- the Conservatives polled 67,542 votes without a solitary mem- ber. and the Liberals, with 125,849 votes captured 16 seats. In Alberta the Conservative candidates secured 49,514 votes and elected but one member. while the‘L‘iberals, with - #Am‘nnnn only 38,541 votes had three members elected. Can anyone reading these figures believe that the Conservative party is a dead party in the West? This is undeniable statistical proof of the strength of the Conservative party in the West. It might interest some of our readers to know that in the entire Dominion the Conservative party polled 1,504,855 votes and elected 91 members. The Liberals, with the support of 1,421,804 electors. Secured 116 members. This is an outlook that should not be discouraging for the new Con- servative leader and his lieutenants. â€"â€"London Free.
