What a sonty excuse The rcason why sonne people can do any stupid. tasteless and inscnsitivc thing they want is because this is à democracy. itqisundoubtedly a demiocracy due ta the efforts of Allicd Scdnd World War veterans. who beat back dictatorships that thetee ta swallow western Europe and Asia. perhaps even the world. lrorncaiiy then, ihrough the heroic efforts of these now aged v0arriir. the world and our nation have remaîned sale, in large part, foi arl> repugnant. callous and situpndously ssorthlcs phiiosophy or sentimlent cspaxusedl hy whichever fo;)I cares to lit thîs great schcnie of drivel, the Ilaltan Board of EdLicationis stance %% iîi regards ta war veterans, as detaiied ihis rie%%spaper last Friday, harcly rates a mention.

They would have said they couidn't go, because: " If they entered one such war, they'd have ta go ta tlhem ail * Wars are wrong-headed because (hey pramote competition " The volunteers' and conscripts, time could be better spent doing samcthing eIsc. and that would save on military sup- plies., too The fact is, the cause the Legion works for is diffgrent, and transcends arguments sucb as Mr. Party advanced. Thoue wbo fought for Canada. and the free world, and those wsho gave their lives for this just cause, are members of a select group that is exceedingly difficult ta join.
