F0ti MILTON REMEMBERS A Remembrance Day Message from the Mayor The armistace to end the First World War took effect at the 11 th hour of the 11 th day of the 11 lth month in 1918. The poppy is a symbol of remembrance and peace. Please take a moment on November i lth, to remember the service and sacrifice of Canadians at home and overseas dur- ing - the First World War; the Second World War; the Korean War; the Gulf War and peacekeeping operations around the world - who made such a sacrifice in the name of peace and freedom. G. A. Kral, Mayor Members of Council STONE GLOW The cold stone soldier stands alone in the park. His bowed head dusted with November frost. No warm glow surrounds to fend off the dark. No life is remarked, no hint of the cost. Perhaps there's a trace of the boy who enlisted, Some spark in the eyes that answered the cali. But in that Stone the past seems misted. It clouds the agony after his fail. They lost their lives, and we lost them. Yet the grey stone soldier.seems to know, When we stand, and remember them, We are warmed by a previous glow. James E.
