Volume 4, Noe 45 November ll, 1954. LARGEST CIRCULATION IN TERRACE BAY EMEMBRANCE AY INNER Nov EMBER ih 2, Tonight, November 11, at the Hotel Terrace, the veterans of World War I and II will attend adinner to pay tribute to those gallant men and women who gave their lives for their country, This is the third annual Armistice Dinner to be held in Terrace Bay, which is a fitting and proper gesture, Everyone should pause on Remembrance Day to pay solemn tribute to the men and women of indomitable spirit and courage who gave their lives to preserve the kind of freedom we enjoy in this country. Dr,» John McCrae's poem is most appropriate to read again on this Remembrance Day. IN FLANDERS FIELDS In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly, Scarce heard amid the guns below, We are the Dead, Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields, Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high, If ye break faith with us who die, We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields, - John McCrae,
