Badge Of Remembrance

Once, again this year, Castlegar - Robson Branch 170 of the
Canadian Legion, is asking the people of Castlegar and District to
wear a poppy for remembrance. This is an excellent appeal and one
that should not be overlooked. During the year since Col. John
McCraw wrote the challenging poem, “In Flanders Fields,” the
poppy has taken on a peculiar significance. It has come to typify’ in
many countries, the debt. which we who live owe to those who
died in battle.

One day in the year, the people of Canada are asked to wear
a poppy to show that they remember. One day in the year they are
asked to pause briefly to honor the dead. That is little enough.
While remembrance of the dead of two wars is the spiritual aspect
of the poppy, there is the other purpose of assisting the living, for
the money raised through the funds is used for emergency cassist-
ance to and to of

K.R.C. contributors ‘in this district, have their poppies paid
for them with the grant made annually by the K.R.C. to the Poppy
Fund. If they wish to make further donations, when they receive
their poppy, they are of course. free to do so and their donations
will be much ut no is of them.

It is true that veterans have advantage of specific legislation
such as war veterans’ allowance under certain circumstances, Yet
when cmereeney crops up in any family, speed is the essential re-
That's where the Poppy Fund

proves “avaluable.

At A Letter From An Old Friend
I just got a letter from an old.
friend, Gordon Atkinson, and for
the sake of his many other
friends in Castlegar, I’m going td
let you peek over my shoulder
as I read it — I know he won't
mind.

Gordon, as you'll doubtless re-
member, came here from New-
Castle, England and was very
active in the community, espe-
cially among the young: people.
Three years ago he took a ballet
course in Banff, got a scholar-
ship enabling him to train with
the Winnipeg Ballet, taught Bal-
let very successfully in Dauphin,
Manitoba, studied with a ballet
troupe in Ottawa, worked and
taught in Churchill to get funds
and is now in England again on
another scholarship,

The letter was addressed from
the Legat allet School, Lun-
bridge Wells, Kent, England and
starts out “Well at last I'm set-
tled for a while and the atmos-
phere is terrific! This is probably.
the last link with the true Mari-
insky Theatre” (the original Im-
perial Ballet) “and is run along
the same lines.”

“IT am here on a scholarship
and have ie room and board.

It Should be remembered also that there are many. worthy
who hesitate to apply to any of the organized charities. Many of
them have ‘twice gone into uniform and given ten yeast from their.
