N Oshawa Legion Members Turn Back The Pages Of Time THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Combining The Oshawa Times and Whitby Gazette and Chronicle 4 OSHAWA WHITRY VOL. 9--No. 264 OSHAWA-WHITBY, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1950 PAGE THREE Large Crowd Pays Tribute to Fallen At the Cenotaph On Saturday, the largest gather- ing to attend a service of Remem- prance on November 11 assembled around the city's war memorial in Memorial Park to pay tribute to the men of the community who sac- rificed their lives in two world wars. And they heard a brief but stir- ring mesage from Capt. the Rev. H. D. Cleverdon, Chaplain of the Ontario Regiment, placing on them the responsibility of honoring those who had died by building a better world based on Christian principles. The service was preceded by a parade from the Canadian Legion Hall to the cenotaph, in which vet- erans, sea cadets and citizens bear- ing wreaths to be placed on the war memorial joined. The parade was led by the band of the Gen- eral Motors War Veterans' Asso- ciation, and made a fine showing as it marched to the memorial. Rev. Hugh Davidson, chaplain of the canadian Legion, conducted the service. His Worship Mayor Starr read the scripture lesson from the Revelation of St. John the Divine, Ch. 21, verses 1 to 7. Prayer was offered by Rey. J. K. Moffat, of Simcoe Street United Church. Wreaths Placed Representatives of organizations and individual citizens were then called upon to place their wreaths on the war memorial, and over eighty wreaths were placed there in loving tribute to the city's war heroes. That of the Province of Ontario was placed first, the res- ponsibility of placing it being giv- in to Mrs. F. B. Foote. Next came the wreath for the City of Osha- wa, placed by Alderman Clifford Harman, senior member of the City Council. Exactly at the stroke of eleven, the assembly of some hundreds of citizens stood in silence in the act of Remembrance. The playing .of the Last Post and Reveille marked the beginning and the end of the two minutes period of silence. Rev. H. D. Cleverdon The address for the occasion was Rev. H. D. Cleverdon, rector of Christ Church of this city. "Once again we are gathered here," said the Rev. Mr. Cleverdon, "To remember those who gave their lives in defence of their country, and to pay them honor and tribute. It is not sufficient or us to remem- ber them and give them the honor that is their due. We must should- er the responsibility that is left to us and uphold the principles for which they fought and died. Each one of us owes a duty to God, to King and to country. Christ Home Fighter "That is not an easy task,' sald the speaker. "It is easy emough to enjoy ourselves and le? others shoulder the responsibilities. What can we do to further peace in the world, to stabilize industry and lift up the moral standards of our country. Jesus Christ was a lone fighter against the evils of the world, and he sacrificed his life rather than compromise with evil. "We all have our lives before us, and life is not easy. Only fools think that life is an irresponsible picnic and that all they have to do is to enjoy themseves. There is too much evil, sorrow, suffering and tragedy in the world. We must learn to fight against the right things, not only flesh and blood, but against sin, selfishness, lust, cruel- ty and indifference, and to build up a better world of honesty, kindness and happiness. If you are a child of God, you will fight with Christ to build a better world. To do other- wise is to let down those who gave their lives for all we hold dear, and deny God. God's love bids us be loving; God is just, and bids us be just. We must get Christian- ity and Christianity back to work, must bring back self-discipline, hard thinking, and clean out narrow and selfish thoughts to build that better world. In the end, the world must come back to Christ, wh» alone has defeated evil and death. We must not fail those who gave their lives for the way of life we hold dear, We must build Christ's kingdom for their sakes, for our own sakes and for the sake of our children." Rev. D. M. Rose pronounced the benediction to close the service, and the National anthem was sung. List of Wreaths Among the organizations and ins- titutions placing wreaths on the war memorial were the following: The Province of Ontario, City of Oshawa, Public Utilities Commis- sion, Corinthian Lodge, 1.0.0.F.; Oshawa Fire-fighters' Association, Rotary Club, Kiwanis Club, Lions' Club, North Simcoe School, South Simcoe School, King Street School, Mary Street School, Centre Street School, Albert Street School, West- mount School, Oshawa Red Cross Society, Central Collegiate Insti- tute, Oshawa Collegiate and Voca- tional Institute, Canadian Legion, Bra 43 and Ladies Auxiliary, Gengfral Motors War Veterans, Po- lish Veterans Association, the On- tario Regiment, 420 Wing, R.CA.F.; Local 222, U.AW.A., Salvation Army, the Hebrew Community, Weston's Bread.

Rev. Harry | A. Mellow, the minister, preaching lon the subject "We Remember", | urged his congregation to keep faith | with those who, dying, had passed on the torch to those who came after them. "We today have fears for the fu- ture," said Mr. Mellow, "These fears are built of the materials of the sufferings of the past. We remem- ber the crosses in Flanders' Fields and other fields, But we also re- member our faith in the words of Paul, 'I would not have you ignor- ant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope' We believe in life ever- | lasting. We look to the distress and suffering of the dispossessed and | the mutilated, who may suggest that i the world accounts man of little | worth. But we remember, 'Ye are of | more value than many sparrows'. | "We shall remember to keep faith with those who, dying, have passed on their torch to us.

E. A. Couldrey, | field secretary of the British-Israel- | World Federation (Canada). | After the end of the last war, | 1939-1945, though Germany, Italy 'and Japan were no menace to the peace of the world, there still re- mained a power, namely Soviet Rus- sia that was a menace to world | peace, as the years have passed that | menace has increased, Russia has | now: reached the place where there | is no retreat.

The 38th and:39 chapters | of Ezekiel are called by students of Bible prophecy "the Russian chap- ters of Ezekiel. Dr. C. J. Schofield in his edition of the Bible has this footnote to these chapters, "That the . primary reference is to the nerthern (European) powers, headed {un by Russia, all agree." 'For years | we have predicted that these things | would happen, the time is near when | we shall see the fulfillmnt of these | prophecies. i Gog is the prince, Magog his land, | Meshech (Moscow) and Tubal (To-| brisk).

The time is not far dis- | tant when these two forces will come | to grips. Anglo-Saxondom find it| more difficult to conciliate Russia. Prophecy is a foretélling of events seen in the mind of God but fash- iored by man. It is not predestin- ation, but prediction, prophecy is not a Divine compulsion but God's foreknowledge. Israel has not obeyed but that does not destroy God's plans. The Holy Scriptures give us the pattern, the storm is bound to break, this is the authora- tive statement of God's Holy Word, there is no way out, people may sneer who put their trust in United Nations. This is the picture and a grim one. There is no peace, there {1s no hope for peace in this world until the Prince of Peace returns.

Following the meeting a social half hour was enjoyed with re- freshments being served. M. Sossin Seeking Seat On Council Michael Sossin, President of Ray Bennett Motors, Limited, and also of Ray Bennett Appliances, Limited, announced today that, in response to strong pressure from many of his friends and associates, he had con- sented to stand as a candidate for alderman in the coming Oshawa | Municpal election. Mr. Sossin is well-known in the city, and has been a resident of Oshawa for the last five years. He came to this city after demobiliza- tion from the army, having been in service for four and a half years, serving overseas with the 2nd Bat- talion, Canadian Engineers. He came here as special representative of the Dominion Rubber Company, and was with that firm until a little over a year ago, when he was ap- pointed Ford and Monarch dealer for the Oshawa distrist, and or- ganized the firm of Ray Bennett Motors, Limited, of which he is owner and president. Mr. Sossin is president of the B'Nai B'Rith service. club, and is chairman of the Service Club Coun- cil of Oshawa.

Brooks, President of the lo- cal Legion Branch, presided over the gathering as master of cere- monies, and his message of welcome to members and guests was brief and sincere. The long list of guests and executive members introduced by C. P. Grant, branch secretary, in- cluded representatives. of many of the city's service organizations, the Ontario Regiment, the General Motors War Veterans, the Polish War Veterans, and the city was officially represented by Mayor Michael Starr. First President Spoke Col. Frank Chappell, the first president of the Oshawa Branch of the Legion, who held office in 1926-1927, was a special guest of honor, and recalled the days of the organization of the branch. He said he was proud to have been associated with the Canadian Le- gion in 'its formative period, and had an even greater pride in the splendid progress it had made down through the years. Mayor Starr responded on be- half of the invited guests, and spoke of the splendid spirit of comradeship which held war vet- erans together. He hoped that the Oshawa branch of the Legion would continue to be as success- ful in the future as it had been in the past. Toast to the Legion T. K. Creighton proposed the toast to the Canadian Legion. He said that while the banquet was an occasion for 'gaiety, there was something more solemn attached to it on this day 'of remembrance. There was a peculiar quality in the comradeship of service which grew as the years went past. "We toast the members of the branch who were its leaders during the years, the Legion has served in Oshawa, and the intrepid people who had started the branch. They laid the foundations well, and it has been built by the hard work and faith- ful devotion of the members of the branch and its splendid auxiliary." Mr. Creighton referred to the nation-wide scope of the Legion, with its 300,000 members across Canada, and commended the founders for their courage in founding what has become a great service organization. "Th Legion is the voice of those Remembrance Day Seen Challenge To Greater Service The old army spirit of comradeship, mingled with memories of the gallant comrades who did not come back, characterized the annual Remembrance Day. banquet of the Oshawa Branch of the Canadian Legion, held in Legion Memorial Hall on Saturday evening. The hall was filled to capacity as some 265 members of the Legion and guests sat' down to a splendid turkey dinner served by the Ladies Auxiliary, and the combined program of speeches and enter- tainment turned back the pages of time as tributes were paid to comrades of bygone days. A special significance was at: tached to the occasion, since this event was arranged as the Silver Jubilee Remembrance Day banquet, and reminiscences of the early days of the Legion featured some of the ade & Lam who need somene fo speak for them. We are those who came back. It is our duty to hold on to the mee mories we have. We have been pere mitted to see the bare, tragic' truth of war. Our victory lay not so much in vanquishing the enemy, but in the greatness of tHe things for which we fought and strove. Our great duty now is to keep alive the conviction that our primary objective in national and interna tional affairs is to maintain the greatness of the free human spirit." Birth of Legion Recalled Response to the toast to the Le- gion was made by Past President M. Mcintyre Hood,, who, in a re- miniscent vein, recalled the Unity Conference at Winnipeg in 1925 at which the Canadian Legion came into being. He paid tribute to the great leaders who had met with Field Marshal Earl Haig at that conference, and who had gone on to build up the Legion to be Cane ada's greatest organization. Speaking of the Oshawa Branch, he recalled the difficult days of its early history, and particular its struggle to keep alive during the period of depression. He recalled the officers of 20 years ago, several of them now gone to their reward, who had faced adversity in the Legion, and had come out trium- phant to hand on a strong and ag- gressive branch to those who came after them, anl particularly those who had served in World War II, "Functions such as this, admir- able thought they may be, are not the heart and soul of the Legion," said Mr, Hood. "It heart and soul are to be foynd in the service to those who need help, in protects ing those who need protecting, and in seeing that the country for which the heroic dead gaves theiy lives is ever worthy of the sacrie fice they made." Rev. Hugh Davidson Guest speaker was Rev. Hugh Davidson, chaplain of the braneh, who was introduged by Honorary Chaplain A. J. Graves. Rev.
