BILL GIDLEY: freedom “at an alarm. -

ing cost”.

All School District 88 schools
marked Remembrance Day with
assemblies to remind students
that they must try to understand
and always remember the true
cost of war.

One such assembly was held at
Caledonia Senior Secondary
School where World War II
veteran, Bill Gidley, told
students that he understood how
difficult it was for them to

understand that cost because it
had happened so long ago.

“So tomorrow on Remem-
brance Day, I’m not going to
ask you to remember anything,”
he said,

“Tm going to ask. you to
reflect and to think of this great

War veloran Bill. Gidley told Caledonia high school students during a Remembrance Day Assembly, “Over 109, 000

Canada. So beautiful and boun-

 tiful.”?

However, Gidley pointed out
that more important than the
‘beauty and the bounty’? was
the freedom that we as Cana-

dians have EXpericiced “Bui ‘aii

too often take for granted.

‘The freedom to live and
work where we want. The
freedom to vote and to say what
we want. The freedom to look at

. the police as a friend. That is not

true in some societies,’? Gidley
said, emphasizing the fact that it
was a freedom that was won “‘at
an alarming cost’’.

“These freedoms did not
come automatically,’’ he ex-

on that cost to prevent it from

Terrace Legion Report

by Roy Greening
Some of the Legion members

visited the local schools. just °

before the Remembrance Day
services on Nov. 11 and a school
holiday. Since there is a day
taken in the school week, the.
Legion visitors spoke the day
before and gave the children and
young people some idea what
Remembrance Day is all about.

Since the world wars.ended so
long ago, the speakers put
before their young audiences the
idea that they must /earn to
remember. It. was around this
theme that the speakers con-
centrated. Perhaps the listeners.
would note that there has not
been a world conflict since the
end of the Second World War,
thereby ending a terrible trend
that persisted from one genera-
tion to the next. Grandfathers,
fathers and their sons had to go
to defend their country each
time they became of age. .

Now the young people can see
that this habitual horror has
been at an end for over 40 years.
The young people can see now

that history has turned a corner.
and that they are part of this

phenomenon.

, i think the children did learn
. to'remember, aiid I would like to

thank those schools who invited
the legion speakers to put that
message across,

There will be an extraordinary
general meeting of Branch 13 on
Thursday, Nov, 19 at 8 p.m. to

discuss a very important topic.

If you were notified by mail then
you are eligible to attend.
