PAGE TWO THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER “He suffered that we might smile; he died that we might live. He made the supreme sacrifice that we, on this side of the world, might carry on in the ideals our forefathers. He sleeps; but his memory is active in the heart of every Canadian.” The Unknown Soldier and his comrades who fell beside him occupy a shrine in our hearts. Let us not forget our dead. But let us also re- member those of our boys whom the .gods of war spared. “HOSTILITIES WILL CEASE AT 11 a.m., NOVEMBER 11 TROOPS WILL STAND FAST ON THE LINE REACHED AT THAT TIME WHICH WILL BE REPORTED TO DIVISIONAL HEAD- QUARTERS IMMEDIATELY. DEFENSIVE PRECAUTIONS WILL BE MAINTAINED. THERE WILL BE NO INTERCOURSE WITH THE ENEMY OF ANY DESCRIPTION.” Truly these were wonder- ful words; words which .brought to an end the awful struggle with its bloodshed, suffering and misery. The staff officer who wrote them if he is alive to-day probably realizes as never before the import of the words he put on paper for the signals. THANKSGIVING DAY Next Monday is the day set apart here in Canada as a day of National Thanksgiving. It is indeed fitting that we should pause to give thanks unto God for the many good things which we enjoy and for deliverance from the dangers and sorrows of war. The present gener- ation will never forget the wave of thankfulness when the welcome neWS swept over the land that the last shot had been fired and that the Armistice had been signed. Nine years have passed since that his- toric November 11 when the blessings of PEACE AND VICTORY were added to the other blessings that Canadians enjoy. On this day we must remember the men who will not return and the glory of their sacrifice. In deep humility we confess that we owe them a debt we can never repay. Before the altar Canadians must con- secrate themselves anew to the task of making a Dominion worthy of her part in helping to brighten the lot of the widows, the, mothers and the fatherless children. INTEREST IN MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS The Kiwanis club of St. Thomas is making a great effort to arouse interest in the forthcoming municipal elections in that city, and to en- courage every citzen who is entitled to vote to cast a ballot when the time comes. The club proposes to do this by establishing a central in- formation bureau and furnishing motor vehicles for electors who have no cars to get to the polls. It will be interesting to watch the outcome of this experiment. A club such as the Kiwanis club, which is non-partisan, and has no axe to grind, can give splendid leadership to a community in drawing atten- tion to the duties of citizenship, and urging the citizens to fulfill these duties. It is a deplorable fact that in many cities and towns far too little interest is shown in municipal affairs. There are many who will criticize the actions of councils and other bodies, but who, when the time comes sit idly back and take no real interest in the selection of the men to comprise these coun‘cils. I pray Almighty God that the words I write in this house may be pure and honestâ€"that they be dictated by no personal spite, un- worthy motive or unjust greed for gain; that they may tell the truth as far as I know itâ€" and tend to promote love and peaceâ€"-â€" amongst men. The lack of interest in municipal elections in the past few years has been strikingly noticeable. While there are times when worthy occupants of office are deserving of re-election, it is not a good thing when there are acclamations for the majority of the elective positions in council. The citizens should have an opportunity of voting, of placing in office the men of their choice. This is only possible when there are sufficient nominations to force an election. The time of the municipal contests is not f r off. It is not too early for the citizens to be think- ing about them and talking about them, with a view to putting forward for office men who are qualified to represent their fellowâ€"citizens, and, these men having been put forward, it might be possible to arouse such interest as to secure a proper expression of the will of the people. On Armistice Day, November 11, the people of Canada are invited to observe the two-minute silence at 11 o’clock, a special rite suggested by His Majesty and observed each year since the war. ‘In Canada Armistice Day will be kept as a holiday on Monday, November 7th. The man who tells you what a “rotten” tOWn he lives in, and what undesirable neighbors he has, may move frequently from one town or neighbourhood, but will always have the same story to tell. Some people always live in undesirable towns and have neighbors they never care for. Others, strangeously enough, live in numerous places and alâ€" ways meet; with kindness, and always find friends. If you are one of the men or women who cannot find a good word for the town you live in, for your neighbour, for the man who pays you your wages, or for your business associates, take a good look in the next mirror you come across, and face the secret of your troubles. Turn over a new leaf; be loyal to your town and your environments. Established 1878 AN INDEPENDENT WEEKLY PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY AT RICHMOND HILL THE LIBERAL PRINTING CO., LTD. J.
