As the years roll on, we who are -veterans become increasingiy invotved in day to day prob- lems of life, (as who does not>, but we do NOT forget, nor white we live sh-al you. You owe it to our comrades who -died, to those who to-day live in hospitats, ,who swing along on crutches to remember that they paid a price that you can not re-pay, for your present with their future. Wars and patriotism are not fashionabte, they say. You younger generation wiII be surprised to know that wars were neyer 'fashionable' to those who fought them. Our comrades went to war because you, the. people of Canada, said they shouid, and so thqyvoIunteered on your behaîf, so remember themn. They were Engiish, Scots, Irish, French, Potish, Ukrainian, Italian, Finnishr Dutch, German, Danish, Norwegian, Russian, American, Indian, coloured and white......but they were Canadians. They were you,so remember them and the debt vou owe.

It was Father Austin who provided Whitby with a new Roman Cathotic Church in 1958, and a new rectory in 1963, and brought the Grey Sisters, a teaching order of' nuns, to the town 16 years ago. His contributions to separate schoot education in Whitby are of particutar importance, for during his pastorate two new etementary schoois were constructed, one in Brooklin and one in Whitby, and four additions were made to the St., John's Schooi which -was , buiit before'.hiîs arrivai- Whitby .owes is~oa CathoJîic' High Schoot, Denis O'Çýoo~nr (r,DOC, as the-«students cati. it) to Fathpr ,Austin'seý'fforts.
