Christmas Eve Communion - Dec. 24, il p.m. -Last Wednesday was the Regionai Inaugural Council, Meeting. About the' oniv way to express my concern was to write a. poem, so here goes: Personal acetion cean contribute to Canadia n uimit y Cont'd from P. 4 across the worlci was his belief that idealism and, high aspirations and deep convictions are possible in our ordinary lives. The third obstacle will be a lack of dedication to the cause., Few people are willing to brave the sarcasm and disapproval of their fello w men. Remember when you falter that moral courage is greater thanbravery in battie, but moral courage is essential for those who seek to change a society that finds change so painful. So in this battie, you rm ust be tolerant. You must understand that every man's effort is important and not futile, that it is important for each of us a s human beings to have hopes and aspirations, and that it will take great personal dedication and moral courage to win the battie for Canada. I ask you therefore as a Legion to organize yourselves into a conimittee of. men and women, to start by educating yerselves,.on the,, reat. issues Surrounding the future of the country,> to seek out the advice of p~eople in andout of the, community who can increase your understanding of those issues, and when you are in commnand of the facts develop a list &factions which you can recommend to your membership at large. Give themn an opportunity to speak to you about your conclusions and listen carefully to thenNhen you have done al that, set out a simple course of action for this Legion that every member will pledge himself to support. Then communicate your ideas to thé Provincial Command and seek their approvai, then communicate your position to ahl of the Legions in Ontarib, and to ail the other Provincial Côminands. In short, stretch out 'a hand to your brothers in Quebec, and to ail of the other Provinces. If wbat I have suggested seems like a staggering amount of work and cost, ask yourselves is it worth it to make an-effort to save your country. la it less important today that It was in 1914 or 1939? If one man's opinion is 0f any value to you--you will never have done or will nover do anything in your lives which is more important. The need la now. Seize the opportunity. Defend your country. Make the people's voices beard. Tell our politicians that we are prepared to do whatever is fair and just to keep our country whole- -and -healhy- .fM-Te l the&thatwe&ar-prepred4t The Region's Inaugural Meeting, Was a near disaster, IPm told, Because Whitby's triunvirate, Clipped a corner from its mould. Regien's in the big league compétition, Its played for keeps more or less, Not like amateur hockey, More like a, gameë of chess. Oshawa had a full board of white players, For a king they would fight.- Whitby had only three chessmen, T'was hoped they'd ail opt for the knight. The pawns were ail awaiting, For the bishop and rook to make their move, They knew it was best for the Region, If Walter stayed in his groove. Two of Whitby's, champion players, Made the-skilled play, They voted for Beath, To remain 'chairman' that day. Bobby, you're new at this garine, Tel] us, how could you do it? On your first strategy move, You were checked; and you blew it. Keeping Whitby's triumvirate united, Couid have spared ail the hassie.
