Mr. Anderson said that remem-, prance -- "of times amd places, | of people and principles, was the | "strong cement which binds us to- gether" 'There are those," he noted "who say it doesn't matter -- there are those who say we should for- get, that the war is over and we face new problems. But I suggest to you that we cannot, we should not, and we will not forget." The second link, that of com- radeship, is 'that sense of being together which comes from the memory of a common service," the speaker said. COMMON ROUND mine those things for which we stand, and for which we have fought and for which our com- rades died. Not our least service now can be to see that they do not accomplish their evil designs, either by active force, or by lack of opposition on our part.'

The bond of service is a "na- tural results", of the first two, Mr Anderson said, "There is need of service today --the need to look after the unfor- tunate, those suffering from the results of war, their widows and dependents," he pointed out. 'These will ever be our first con- cern, but with the growing help of government -- much of the practical assistance is now forth. coming in a generous manner -- most are looked after. Mr, Anderson said, however, that the 'part of our service which should cause us the most concern is in seeing that in the commu- nity the ideas and ideals which prompted our former efforts and cost our comrades such sacrifice are applied for the benefit of oth- ers, and particularly the coming generations." GOOD CITIZENSHIP "We hear a great deal about 'isms of one kind or another to- day," he said, "Some are good, but a lot of them are bad. There are loud lamentations of how so many people in high places, as well as the youth of the country, are being influenced by and dem. onstrating ideas which we know are wrong.
