svstbrss r j the tribune- stouffville oat- thursday- april 5 1945- w qjtf touffmur ritmtip r established 1888 member of the canadian weekly newspaper association and ontario quebec newspapers association issued every thursday at stouffville ontario subscription rates per year in advance in canada 200 in usa 3260 a v nolan son publishers notes and comments let it be deliverance day there is a good deal of talk about v day and just what we should do in stouffville and other small commun ities or large ones for that matter it seems that plans are prepared in some places for the celebration of the coming victory over germany thousands of our men- might yet pay the supreme sacrifice hence it seems rather presumpt- ious for us to be considering a grand celebration because we live in safety and comfort it will be hard for many people who seriously read the war news these days or who have jost loved ones to think of celebrating yet that is the urge on the part of so many theday of military victory over the germans may be very close at hand but in looking forward to that event we should think of it as a day of deliverance that will to say the least be a day of rejoicing- and due praise and honor must be accorded to the valor of our men who fought and the military prowess of their leaders but we must not forget that we have suffered many defeats and even dis asters in the field and that there were times when as the scripture says if it had not been that the lord was on our side when men rose up against us then had we been swallowed up quick when their wrath was kindled against us then the waters had overwhelmed us etc how often we have felt that during the past five years if it had not been for the cause the cause of freedom and righteousness for which we entered this war then had we thrown up our hands in despair and gone down to utter defeat- it was only our faith in the justice of our cause and in the divinity that shapes the ultimate end of all things that saved us from despair we firmly believed germany was in the wrong that tyranny and savagery must not and could not triumph in the end it was this belief and this spirit that sustained us in those dark hours of dunkirk of the battle of britain and of the retreat in the african desert and it was that belief and spirit which inspired the valiant men who stood at bay- at alamein and finally put to flight the armies of the alien in looking forward confidently to the day of victory and to the peace beyond we must beware that the virus of german militarism does not enter into our own souls certain savage tribes had a practice of drinking the blood of their enemies in the belief that they would thereby in crease their strength and prowess in battle and we would be virtually doing the same thing if we gloated over the defeat of the germans and celebrated the victory in a drunken orgy of rejoicing rather should we be humbly thankful for our deliver ances remembering the men who have suffered and died that we might live in security and freedom and those who mourn for loved ones who will never return rather should we say i was glad when they said unto me let us go into the house of the lord whither the tribes go up the tribes of the lord unto the testimony of israel to give thanks unto the name of the lord pray for the peace of jerusalem they shall prosper that love thee for my brethren and companions sakes i will now say peace be within thee so shall that day be compassed about the songs of deliverance and we shall go forth to win thepeace with the same passion for freedom and righteousness that in spired us in the winning of the war hvdro boost for farmers again a program which will make ontario one of the most highly electrified farming areas in the world bring still
