Tresidder , representative. i ai htc FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1927 -_-- _w ARMISTICE DAY "Two minutes of silence this day invited Can- adians everywhere to remember not only that monient nine years ago when the order to «geéase Fire" was obeyed along the Western Front, but those who had already given their lives as the last pledge of patriotic valor. More, yoverent memory should not neglect those that met death later through injuries to body or health which they had incurred in the service of their Country. And, finally, no one should fail to find space in his meditations for grati- {ude to all who made this honorable peace 1ossible, Among them the soldiers who re- turned, the sailors who stood the fearful watches of the sea, nurses in hospitals, and willing hearts at home, All these, in great measure or small, contributed something to the ransom of civilization. Of the dead there can be but one thought in which is blended both pride and bitter re- gret, For they were, for the most part, young. And remembering their youth, there is no heart so dull that should not Jearn tender- ness hereafter for all that is youhg, unschooled and, for that reason, unafraid. First, to re- solve thereby that, under God, there shall beno more such sacrifice; then, to let memory teach us how great are the hearts that youth bears, how willing to serve; how, given the challenge, unmindful of self, ; Contemplation of the past is useful only if we learn its lessons. The great dead take mo note of heads bowed in unison as 'a token of either gratitude or regret. The flowers that grow on their tombs or that adorn their monu- ments are not regarded by those that gave their lives in battle. Their memory lives only in the doolls of those who survive, in whom alone it can be justly said that "These dead did not die in vain," Ra "THE SEPULCHRE OF HEROES" Pericles, the Athenian statesman. has a sec- ure place in history through the greatness of his achievements in the founding of an empire in an age to which history, by eommon consent, gave his name. But Pericles will live longer, perhaps, in the memories of men for his elegy, as reported by Thucydides, which was uttered over the graves of Athens' soldier dead at the close of the Peloponessian war in 431 B.C. over 2,300 years ago. The words which he spoke over the gerat city-state's devoted dead can hardly be im- proved upon on this day when Canada remem- bers its 60,000 sons who died in the Great War: "But each one, man by man, has won im- perishable praise; each has gained a glorious grave -- not that sepulchre of earth wherein they lie, but the living tomb of everlasting re- membrance wherein their glory is enshrined, remembrance that will live on the lips, that will blossom in the deeds of their countrymen the world over. For the whole earth is the sepulchre of heroes. Monuments may rise and tablets set up to them in their own land, but on far-off shores there is an abiding memorial that no pen or chisel has traced; it is graven, not on stone or brass, but on the living heart of humanity. Take these men for your: ex- ample. Like them, remember that prosperity ¢an be only for the free, that freedom is the sure possession of 'those alone who have cour- age to defend it," DEMOCRACY, NOT LIQUOR STORE IS AT STAKE - Si Delegates representing citizens of Oshawa who are opposed to the opening of a liquor store here appeared before the Liquor Control Board of Ontario Thursday morning. They asked that the Board proceed no further in the matter until a vote is taken on the question. The Board promised consideration and a de- finite statement at an early date. "What decision the Board may arrive at is problematical for mo one can say just bow seriously they will consider the matter. 8o far, the Board ha: not given the matter very "serious attention. They have, on x-their 0 own statement, a petition from citizens of Oshawa comprising some two thousand mames. They were and are much impressed by that petition. But the truly impressive fact about that petition is the fact that when the delegation headed by O. M. Alger asked to examine it, they were informed that it was a private docu- ment. That, moreover, word had been passed to those signing it that it would not be made public. If democracy means anything in Ontario . then the Board, on reflection, can do no more than decide that that petition isn't worth the paper it is written on. Not because those sign- ing it are not, perhaps, citizens of a high type and large payers of 'taxes in this city, but be- cause Fhe pringiple of secrecy is being applied at democracy's danger point. The ballot is secret, and it is the bulwark of liberty. But the minute this principle of secrecy is applied to the protection of those who seek the private ear of governing bodies, then that minute marks Ontario's passage from a Government of the many into a Government of wire pullers. One can understand a timid shop-keeper or a young professional man hesitating to affix his name to a liquor store petition until he is assured that it will not be scrutinized later by those who might refuse to trade with him or engage his services on that account, That, while not admirable, is a human trait. But there are others to consider in a secret petition than those who haven't the courage to jeapordize their profits for the sake of some- thing they support. How many of those two thousand names are registered on the voters list of Oshawa? How many are British subjects and citizens of Can- ada? How many give their street addresses? How many arc 21 years of age? How many names, in fact, are legible? These are not idle questions asked for mere rhetorical effect. They are asked because the consideration already given to that liquor store petition by the Control Board is entirely ominous to democracy. More than a liquor store is at stake, FIRE PROTECTION As regards fire protection in this city, the City 'Coumeil is confronted with cold, even ominotis facts and not by theories, Chief Cameron's report on the recent $100,000 fire showed: | 1."That in a fire occurring when the part paid sen are asleep, it requires forty minutes after an alarm is turned in to get enough men to- gether to man the motor pumper, 2. That if, in a great fire, outside aid were requested, 'the city has no adapters so that Toronto hose, for instance, could be connected upto' bshawa hydrants, '(Given u forty minutes' start in a section of one of the city's larger industries and Toronto auxilliaries rendered useless through a differ- ence in hose diameters, does anyone need much imagination to say what the result would ba? The Council, however, has taken a wise course in calling a meeting as a committee of the whole on the subject of fire protection, As the fire marshal's department has threatened to take the situation in its own hands if the Council doesn't act, a representa- tive from that body should be asked to attend. Oshawa, of course, doesn't want to be eom- mitted to an orgy of spending through a fire for which a man is now held on a charge of arson, It can, however, profit from that lesson, tighten up its fire prevention campaign, and decide on a policy that will really give the city something approaching a fighting chance against the ever-present menace of fire, A born buck-passer is one who calls the re- sult of his own folly "an act of Providence," Two is company, three is an organization that will ask for a congressional appropriation. Bit of Verse AN FLANDERS FIELDS In Flanders fields the poppies blnw 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 down, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrél 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. - By Jas. W.
