ia. Reflections & Recollections,

Martin Allis, 20, of Castlegar, was killed the evening of
, Oct. 17 in a head-on automobile collision on the Waneta Road.

At the memorial service last week, I gave the following
address:

Tam honored to have been asked to: speak to you today, at
this memorial service for I know I speak for everyone here.

I would give anything, as I know you would, to

have been here on any occasion but this, Still what must be
must be.

The Roman poet Titus Maccous Plautus, who lived in the
third century B.C. wrote:

“He whom the gods love, dies young, while he is in health,
has his senses, and his judgement sound.”

We cannot be certain that Plautus was arguing for an
early death to avoid tha ills and infirmities of old age or if he
was altempling to comfort his friends who, too, had lost a son,

years, and was surprised how suddenly he changed from a
very small boy to a fine, tall young man.

During this time I knew him mainly: as an unfailingly

id when help was needed, who, even: though he was

Since Venturer training emphasizes not only the highest

jit followed that Martin became a Cub leader. With his

youth and vigor. ,

Why, then, did he die? I cannot‘even venture A guess. My:
scientific training has taught me only that, like Paul, I see as
through.a glass, darkly, and know only that I don’t know. On
the other: hand, it has taught me that nothing in this world is
wasted ot. in vain, My faith tells me that, as Soloman wrote in
the Book, of Ecclesiastes,

“To! everything there is a season, ang’ a tins for every
purpose, under heaven. A time to be born and a time to die, a
time to plant and a time to pluck up that which is: planted.”

While. ghlsin ae way consoles me, nF 3 you, for the loss of a
son, a friend, it does help’me to accept it.-It also

any man’s death diminishes me

because I.am:: involved in mankind,

and therefore’ never send to know for whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.”

By his early death, Martin has recalled to us not only the
fact of our.own mortality, but of our own involvement in all
mankind.

He has, as well, left us with the unforgettable memory of
a kind, generous and warmhearted young man whom we all
loved, and who will, though we grow old, remain eternally
young, untouched and unmarred by the passing of the years.

And so.we shall remember him a bright candle in the
‘encompassing: dark.

Martin's death is the latest in a series of violent deaths |
among young people recently in this area. This time the
anguish associated with such tragedies’ has been brought to
me with vivid sharpness.

In his book ‘Death Be Not Proud’, the novelist John
Gunther writes a memorial to his son by quoting from another.
poem by John Donne. For the Allis family, and for all of those
who have lost a son or daughter recently, I would like to

-Yededicate that same poem: -

“Death, be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so:

For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow *
Die not, poor Death; not yet canst thou kill me.
From Rest and Sleep, which but thy picture be,
Much pleasure, then from thee much more must flow;
And soonest our best men with thee do go —

Rest of their bones and souls’ delivery!

Thoi'rt slave to fate, hence, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell;

And poppy or charms can make us sleep as well’

And better than thy stroke. Why swell's thou then?
One short sleep past, we wake eternally,

And Death shall be no more: Death, thou shalt diel
