WIIITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1985, PAGE 27 Report from Q ueen's Park -~By THE HON. GEORGE ASHE, MPP (PC -Durham West) Remembrance Day is particularly noteworthy this year as 1985 marks the 60th Annîversary of the foundling of the Royal Canadian Legion. At the time of its inception, members of this organization adop- ted as their own, the following words from Lieutenant John McCrae's poem, 'In Flanders' Fields': Take up our quarrel uwith the fo. Toyoufromfailing hands we throw The Torch - be yours to hold it high; If ye break fai sh with us who die. We shal not steep, though poppies blou hIFlandersV ields. Through the years, members-of the Legion have kept faith with McCrae. They helped veterans returning from war, familles of those flghting overseas, and the war ef- fort here at borne. It was the Canadian Legion which helped found the Veterans' Home Guard of Canada to give veterans an opportumity to serve and, should the need arise, defend the homefront. It was also the Legion which instituted programs such as educational upgrading, entertainnient, and establishing recreational faciilîties for armed forces personnel serving overseas. I feel certain it is unnecessary to tell anyone just how important these services proved to be, both morally and intellectually. At the end of the war the Legion was on hand to help establish a first-rate rehabilitation prograrn for discharged military personnel. The fight for pensions, medical treatment, education and em- ployment were ail carried on by the Royal Canadian Legion. Things have not changed a great deal since the end of the last war. The Royal Canadian Legion is stili defending the rights and workîng to resolve the needs of our countrys veterans. But its efforts do not stop there. The Legion is active in assisting Canadian youth, be they in organizations such as Boy Scouts and Girl Guides, or in sport teams. It also offers scholarships and bursaries to deserving young Canadians. At the other end of the spectrum, the Legion assists in many projects for senior citizens. So on November il, as you observedl a minute of silence for ail the incividuals who dled to defend the freedoms we stili enjoy to this day, hopefully you, remembered the ongoing efforts of the Royal Canadian Legion. They are both a remembrance weil deserved. CALLING ALL ing in the rear and ad- RAILROAD mission is $2, children BUFFS under 14, $1. Kids under Therewillbe a five are admitted free.
