Now regulations provide for more check on relief expenditure. Government regulations provide that all relief recipients must fill out application forms, which is followed by an in- vestigation report by township offi- cials. All applicants must give a detailed report of all earnings in the past twelve months and have such statements signed by their em- ployers. Then all applications for relief must be sanctioned by the pro- vincial relief inspector before any relied? is given. 1 Sheep claims in Vaughan this year have been particularly light and so far have totalled only $73.00. This is a considerable saving- over some years when substantial payments have been made. George Dibb had a claim at Monday’s meeting for 2 VOL. LVIV’. HELD OVER FOR THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 2 GOODBYE MR.

I also urge that the annual Poppy Day appeal of Veterans’ organizations be given the generous consideration of every citizen. While we pay tribute to those who gave their lives, let us give something to help lighten the burden of those still suffering from the war, something to bright- en the lives of those for whom the war will never end until the final. chapter of this life.

Liberty; fifiMOND HILL, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9th, 1939. Buy a Poppy Remembrance Day The war ended, those organizations which had toiled so valiantly and well for the soldier and his dependent, now un- wisely disbanded or curtailed their efforts, believing sincerely their work was done. The returned boy was left at loose ends, and vainly did the soldier try to re-establish himself within the ranks of civil life. The government of the day tried to help by forming the Soldiers’ Civil Re-establishment Board, but this was only able to accommodate a very limited number of the thousands who returned. The Great War had created in the hearts of all (but the profiteer) a complete abhorrence of all {those things that pertained to war. This feeling grew to such an extent that it reached the hysteria of extreme pacifism. Peace at any price, peace at any cost, became the slogan. Public sentiment of that day demanded the abolishing of the cadet movement in the schools of our province, and in some churches suggestions were made that such grand old hymns as “Onward Christian Soldiers, Fight the Good Fight, Etc.” should be removed from the hymnal. Finally the returned soldier be- came the scape-goat of a movement which started in all sincerity in the interest of peace. In some circles soldiers were looked upon as murderers of theirufellowmen. Armistice services were curtailed and the public mind had reached such a stage that the returned man received little encouragement in his endeavours to once again become a citizen in the peaceful pursuits of life. Returned men had become so disgusted at their treatment that many of them in applying for employment, removed their returned button from their coat, not wanting their prospective employer to know that they were war veterans. And now after having a tremendous struggle, in many cases to reâ€"establish themselves, and some partially succeeding, the returned man was now called upon to face another battle, this time the battle . for economic existence. The depression of 1929, hard times came, out of employment, shoeless and shabby, children suff- \ermg wife bearing up bravely under the strain of raising a family under such conditions, surely here was fertile ground for the seed of Communism or Fascism. But no, with head erect, and shoulders squared, with a set purpose in his heart, the returned boy carried on. The strain of economic life brought no strain on his loyalty to his King and Country. Four hundred thousand of these men lined the streets, formed guards of honor, cheered themselves hoarse during the visit of their Gracious Majesties the King and Queen to our fair land. Just as they stood their ground at Vimy, at Passchendale, so they stood shoulâ€" der to shoulder through the years of depression, trying to help lone another. ain had called, Canada the school, the office, and willing to serve. to care for the soldie Bands played, or Bands played, crowds cheered, and away they marched. Time and time again word came to the homeland that Canada’s sons had taken their stand with the world’s finest. Vimy, Passchendale, Courcelette, Arras are all written on the pages of history as the battle ground of the Canadians. Then after four years away from loved ones and home, four years of Death, Carnage. Blood and filth, four years in which they had fought, sincere in the belief that no longer would freedom and liberty be menaced. sincerely believing that it was settled once and for all, that their sons, and their children’s children might be spared this horrible nightmare of carnage and blood. A war to end war, that was what they hoped for. They came back. came back to find that while they and their comrades gave all they had, others had taken advantage and had waxed fat on the pro- fits of war, the blood of their fellow man. Positions of influ- ence and power had been obtained by those who were foreign to those ideals for” which they had fought. To assist such men as these the Poppy Fund came into being. Organized and operated by exâ€"service men themselves, with the minimum of overhead expense, in order that every dollar possible be devoted to the welfare of the returned man and his family. The poppy has been immortalized as the emblem of sacrifice and every man, woman and child should wear this emblem of sacrifice, in memory of the great sacrifice made in the Great War, realizing at the same time that by honoring the dead they are helping the living. The principles of justice are eternal, and the g Empire. built upon such a foundation, cannot fail the British Empire continues to love Truth, Justice ness and Liberty.

And so as Poppy Day draws nigh, and the appeal comes to you again, let it not be just another tag day but give as they gave. And now as we lay down our pen we see that countless march of men â€"sixty thousand of the flower of Canada’s manhood, from shell hole and trench, from the lonely grave in a foreign landâ€"from the depths of a mighty ocean they come, line after line, and again we hear them say: Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us Who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow in Flanders fields. The voices fade in the distance, the challenge has been given, it is ours,’ and once again we are reminded: The tumult and the shouting dies; The captains and the Kings depart: Still stands thine ancient sacrifice, An humble and a contrite heart.
