We Share The Pride

Speaking for the local Elks, Fred Bass justifiably struck
a note of pride in his remarks on officially opening the club
room last Saturday. At the same time he inferred that the work
of providing the community with a centre for public use is

not always appreciated by the people who use it.
Mr. Bass of course was quite correct.

of the community as a whole.

Consciously or unconsciously we all have a feeling of
pride in the Elks Hall. It is our largest public auditorium and
ne that we point out to visitors-as providing a great deal

towards our social ahd sport activities.

To those men wh» had the vision and the energy to plan
such an ambitious project inthe days when Williams Lake was
much smaller than it is today, the community’ owes, and we

believe acknowledges a debt of gratitude.

Our apologies to the editor of the Comox Free Press for
reprinting the editorial “The Devil Can Quote”’ in our issue last

week without giving the usual credit line.

The Day's Challenge

Today is Remembance Day. Once again we break our
ordimary routine of daily living to pay our silent respect :to
the memory of thosé gallant men and women who fought for

liberty and gained immortality.

As we who are left turn back in silent retrospect at the
eleventh hour, the familiar words of that stirring poem will

echo as an everlasting challenge —

Take up our quarrel with the foe,
To you, from failing hands, we throw a

Occasionally you
will hear criticism of the Elks and their hall, just as you
will occasionally hear criticism of every organization in town.
But we do not believe this in any way indicates the feeling

This is REMBMBRANCE DA XG.
the one day in each year upon which
we pause to do homage to those who
gave their lives that others, includ-

amity in a better world. It is the day

a mental accounting of our steward-
ship. Just how sincere is our tribute
and how well are we keeping that
pledge? , :

To many, the world today seems
torn by international dissention ona
seale and in a bitterness of spirit
hitherto unequalled. Free nations
have been over-run by stronger na-
tions. Others must join one of two
opposing ideologies. For them, there
appears no neutral ground. Many so
called free na-
tions are torment-
ed by the ruth-
lessness of highly
organized minor
ity groups, com-
bines and mergers
all impelled by
greed and avarice
to impose their
demands upon de-
fenceless majorities.

War, rumours of war and prepara-
tions for war prevail all around us.
Much of our substance is being dis-
sipated in the contest for supremacy
waged by these ideologists. Scientific
discoveries which could do much io
improve the lot of this and future
| generations are being utilized for the
fashioning of inconceivable destrue-
tive power and capable of inflicting
unendurable human misery. The
high ideals for which two major con-
flicts were “waged seem to have been
completely lost sight of in this mael-
strom of enmity and ill- is

The rights of individuals, like
those of small nations, are constantly
being infringed upon. The acquisi-
tion of material wealth seems more
important than the preservation of
moral values. We are inclined to
measure our neighbour by what he
has rather than what he is and our

outlook on life is distorted accord-

ingly.

ASSESS SIGNIFICANCE

It will be well

therefore if we
usual
assess more completely the real sig-
nificance of the rites we shall sol-
emnize and see to it the tribute we
pay those who did is no mere lip
We would do well to ask
ourselves if we, in the so called New
World, are not unduly puffed up by
the magnitude of our industrial ac-
complishments and over imbued with
the jauntiness and impetuosity of the
conquering hero. Are we not too in-
patient with the more caitious move-
ments of the older nations? In our
commercial sphere we are surround-
ed by a multiplicity of gaagets de-
signed to speed things up. We are be-

to

ity by really living it ourselves. {t
will mean getting back to putting
first things first. We will need to
restore true Christian principles to
their rightful predominance in all
our dealings and deliberations. That
would also seem to be the only way
of keeping our pledge to The Pallen
and giving real meaning to REMEM-
BRANCE DAY.
