To abandon this work at this time would be most unpatriotic and not at all in keeping with the constitution of the Canadian Legion. In the words of one local Legion man: "We must carry on; we cannot let the other fellow down and so, the Legion makes it appeal forâ€"every citizen. ‘a poppy on Poppy Day, with Dsay. Some are inclined to think that with:â€"the present struggle taking plage with its calls for enlistment and the rdded impetus of production arid labor, that no further assistance should be given and the Poppy Fund used for other purposes. This would only cause added hardships to those who are perâ€" haps in a class by themselves, namely: (1) Too old for service and general emâ€" ernment has the finest pension and alâ€" loptdaéé system in the world as far as the veterans are concerned. It is also tmue that there are thousands who do not come under government supervision and it is for these men that branches of.the Legion throughout the Dominion maintain a relief fund,â€"hence another reason; â€"for Poppy and Remembrance _ grow In Flanders Fieclds. The quanrrel has again been forced upon ‘the Empire and the torch has been taken up by a younger generation, but for the same ideals of peaceful livâ€" ing without fear of aggression. The present war is just the final chapter to the book of justice and freedom for all mankind. Those who marched in 1914 had the thought that it could be finâ€" ished by them, but, after four and a half years, realized they had but writâ€" ten a chapterâ€"a chapter which: to Canada alone cost 60,000 lives and over 100,000 maimed for life.. Should Reâ€" membrance Day be abondoned because the Nazisâ€"or the Hunsâ€"have seen fil to plunge the world into conflict oncs more? The answer of every returneo soldier and every other rightâ€"thinking citizen will be an emphatic No.! Returned soldier organizations and the Canadian Legion as a whole have been carrying on since November 1l1th, 1918. Their battle for betterâ€"conditions for pensioners, widows and dependants. has borne fruit and toâ€"day it can be trut.hm,lly sa.ld that the Canadian govâ€" sez t o s s s o e h o e o e o e o i i "Why Not?" was the prompt reply, "There‘s more reason than ever to hold the Rememberance Day service this year. In the first place the Legion does not intend to let the sacrifices of the last strug‘.le be forgoiten. True twenâ€" ty-five years have passed, but their glory still stays, and as long as the Canadian Legion exists will continue to remain." One recalls those immortal words of John McCrea, written from his own experience in Flanders during the last stand for freedom and democracy : ‘"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 "You surely are not going to hold an Armistice Service this year" was a statement recently made to a member of the Canadian Legion.

L. Traver, Regenit of the local Chapter of the also spoke briefly but effectiyvely. She mentioned that whatever wark was undertaken (Contnued from Page One) . Rev. Fr. O‘Gorman made it very clear that the Emipire and France were fightâ€" ing for freedom and the right. Life without freedom and decency was not true life. The threat to safety and libâ€" erty mubt be stopped now, he said, if the world hoped to enjoy true and lastâ€" ing peace. He concludes his inspiring address with a paraphrase of a couplet from a famous poem, saying: s ‘"Who dies, if Freedom lives? "Who lives, if Freedom dies?" Rev. Canon Cushing spoke with deep feeling of the cheenfulness of the evaâ€" cuaited children forced to leave their hcomes, of the kindness of the foster parents :who received them, of the wonâ€" derful help the teachers had been. He also made reference to the heavy taxaâ€" tion which these already iburdened people were asked to bear. WTurning to the effort of the I.O0.D.E. to help the evacuated children, Rev. Canon Cushâ€" ing concluded his address with the scriptural quotation:â€""Fcor as much as you do it to the least of these My little ones â€"ye do it unto Me."
