November 11 Not Holiday o

past year, as happens every year during the Re-

_membranca Day services, cars wheeled noisily
ay ound corners, life in Prince Ripert went on as us-
al while the several hundred persons to whom No-
vember 11 means something stood with heads bowed
ardund the cenotaph. Isxcept for the brief ‘service at
which all branches ‘of the armed services, the Canad-
jan Legion, its auxiliary and sever al other city organ-
izations ‘ate represented, the day is a holiday to ev-
eryone clse. and means jr actiéally nothing. The
reason for Remembrance Day. is lost, the sacrifices
niade by, Prince Rupert, fathers, sons, brothers, sis-
fers : and daughters are ignored and November 1 lis
just : another ‘day for allbutafew. |

The Trail Daily. Ties, in an effort to point out
the shame of this situation has wr itten the follow-_
ing | thought - pr ovoking editorial with which we _
heartily apree.

i “Thirty-nine years ago on Noveinbér 11 next,
the war that was to end all wars teriminatéd in a
great victory for the Allies. |

'  “Vietory was accomplished, however, only “at
the most fantastic costin human lives. It is difficult
for the average young Canadian of 1957 to gain any
real conception of the slaughter involved. On what
would now be considered very limited fronts, terri-
torially speaking, the deaths of 20,000 or 50, ‘000 men
a day in the struggle for a few yards of ground were
commonplace events.

! “Almost 21 years to the day after the last of the
landers battles, the struggle Began all over again.
Again, throughout Europe, deaths ran into the mil-
lions; even civilians hundreds of miles away from
the scene of battle-field combat, never knew when
they went to bed at night whether ‘they would’ see
another dawn.

‘ey “These aye matters about which, as we say, the
average Canadian knows nothing.
= “True, the” Trail branch of the Canadian Legion
has a membership of about 450 veterans, but many

of those did not serve outside of Canatla. In any

making this land tlie Kingdom of Canada:

In 1867 Queen Victoria and her
over-cautious advisers in Lon-
don, vetoed that proposal. for
fear of offending | what they call-
ed “the republican susceptibilj-
ties “of the ‘United States.”
.Now, 2 century later, there are
several hundred * ‘American news-
‘paper, radio and TV people here
‘in: Ottawa reporting on -every
Possible ,dnete, ‘or her ‘Majesty's

‘réderation ‘envisaged.

‘He, institution ‘of British h ‘mon-
‘archy, our. American neighbors’
‘almost ‘act as, if they ‘would like.

 

on why the present Prime Min-
ister, ‘broke ‘the old court ‘clistom
was because there just was ‘not
enough time to get the’ ‘elaborate
uniform made: and that the one
which an ex Licutenant - Gov-
ernor offered to lend him was far

* “On Monday evening, the Trail city council
fite properly decided to continue its annual cus-
tém of purchasing a wreath from the Legion’s poppy
committee, and appointed 1 Mayor Réad to place t the
wreath on the cenotaph on November 11.

« “Thus will ‘the city dischar ge its duty to pay
hom age to Trail’s war dead.

“There will be present at the cenotaph on Re-
membrance Day some contingents of militia units,
cadets, and, of course, both men and women of the
Tegvion. Perhaps there will be a thousand people
dctively participating in the service, but we douubt it.

“And where will the other 14,000 people of Trail
and immediate distriet be on that day?

«Tf the weather is fine, some of them will be out
hunting, Tf the service is ait 11 o’cloek in the morn-
ing, many of them will be lying in bed, Others will

« “And what an absurdity that is. What an in-

pave their lives intwo wars, A holiday, A carnival.
An occasion for millions of people to engage in levity.
to have fun, to make the most—since November 1
falls on a Monday this year—of a long weekend, A
day on which to do anything but solemnly ¢ontem-
plate the sacrifice of the few in order that the many
might enjoy lives of fullness and freedom.

, “There are, of course, those people, in Trai] to

When they were in opposition,
the Conservatives frequently

There was not a single mention
