~ A Dream Comes True

The dreams of the Canadian
Legion Branch, 170 for many
years has been to erect a Cenotaph
to commemorate .our war dead
and on Tuesday, November [1
that dream will be fulfilled.

_._ They have erected the lovely
Cenotaph, pictured on the front
page of this issue, on a site above
the Bloomer residence and. it is
their hope to turn it into a ‘Garden

Once upon a time over ten thousand
years ago, the natives of Russia, Canada, the
United States and Mexico were all related. At
least they all had the same background of
“Asiatic culture.

Dr. Richard S* MacNeish, senior arch-
aeologist at the National Museum of Canada,
reveals that o survey conducted fast summer
in the Yukon’s Firth River valley produced
‘artifacts supporting this theory. .

Dr. MaéNeish, accompanied by Mr. Gor-
‘don Lowther of McGill Uniersity and Alex

fold purpose—a lasting memorial
to their fallen comrades and a

A good deal of money and
labour has gone into the erection

of the Canadian Legion that the
general public will turn out for its

The Royal Commission on

I counted three people from

these are teachers, where was the

it Is still-a fable.

In the first place students
must write full scale exams in or-

In the second place the majority

TIMELESS TOPICS
A WEEKLY MESSAGE FROM
THE CASTLEGAR MINISTERIAL

ASSOCIATION a
. By MISS F. CLEMO i]

On Remembrance Day in one of our
large Canadian cities, thousands of people
will gather around the cenotaph which has
engraved upon it this message, “IS IT NOTH-
ING TO YOU?” .
i] Other meaningful words have been in-
scribed upon similar monuments, but these
serve to arrest the attentioon and cause one
to ponder its meaning.

Multitudes pass this cenotaph daily on
their way to and from places of business,
some gaze in its direction and their minds
recall the scenes of sacrifice of home and
loved ones and all they held dear and parting
in some instances for the last time.

Some passerbys have become accustom-
ed to its message, others may ignore the
words in the rush to arrive at their destina-
tion oon time. Once again, on Noverber 11
these words will penetrate its message, “IS
IT NOTHING TO YOU??” into hearts. The
question is not asking for an audible reply
but everyone will answer within themselves.
In such critical days of world’s history, we
cannot answer indifferently, "IT 1S NOTH-
ING TO ME?" Great sacrifice was made for
the price of freedom we cherish today, let us
hold its torch high,

These words “IS IT NOTHING TO

4
YOU?" are found in the word of God —
Lamentations 1:12, which were-not engraved
upon stone to see but burned upon the pro-
pht Jeremiah’s heart..John the Baptist bore
testimony to a similar message, “BEHOLD
the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin
of the WORLD." Multitudes heard and view-
ed the Son of God as He walked amongst
men, doirig good, healing all that were sick
and oppressed of the devil. Some looked upon

deplore the bankruptcy of govern-
ment policies that can neither

it." They said there was immed:
fate need for a “crash” program
to provide jobs: and pointed out
that on August 21 there were
133,000 unplaced job applicants in
Ontario, “some 33 per cent more
than a year ago.” , ai
Arid what action did those
labor leaders take to relieve that
situation? They added 10,000 to
the number of unemployed in
Toronto alone by a strike in the
building industry. In Hamilton,
at the time of writing, 8,000 work-
ers have been deprived of their
jobs and regular wages for ten

Him with contempt, others d for His
life for His message brought deep conviction
upon their sinful lives dnd self righteous acts.

I wonder tiow many children

There attitude conveyed this message though
not always spoken audible, “YOU ARE:
NOTHING TO US.” This calloused air of|
indifference only served to deepen His love,
for enslaved humanity and moved the song
writers to pen these words as they look upon
the supreme sacrifice of Calvary,
. “On a hill far away, stood an old
rugged ‘Cross,
The emblem of suffering and shame,
And 1 love that old Cross for the
dearest and best
For o world of lost sinners was slean.'*

know their parents very weil.
They simply take them for gran-
ted as their own personal prop-
erty. Of course the parents have
the advantage as they know the
childre from birth but the child-
ren only know the parents in
their adult life. To them they are
either very unreasonable tyrants
or ever willing slaves,

A course in “The Importance
of Parents” has been suggested
to help bring families closer to-
gether. This would not only give
a child more respect and under-
of his parents but ac:

play is a comedy in three acts
and requires four men and four

but ‘could be hilarious if properly

The story opens with an in
