Ink.‘ sarunnnv, rvovniz-uen s, I946 For Remembrance llay Remembrance Day, November ll, hereto- fore associated with memories of the sacrifices of World War I, has been proclaimed a statu- tory holiday throughout the Dominion this year, to be observed in remembrance of our hallowed dead of both World Wors. lt is unlikely that any other day will ever be chosen in this con- nection. The Canadian Legion have requested that November 11 be known permanently as the day to mark victory in "any war", and it is rea- sonable to suppose that their wishes will be re- spected. - In England Remembrance Day will ba observed tomorrow,—"the first Sunday before the eleventh of November." In both cases the observance will take much the same form. In significance and solemnity they will be identi- cal. Veterans of two generations will parade tide by side on Monday, will gather about war m-numents, and bow their heads together in silent prayer and tribute to fallen comrades. This is the essential part of the Remembrance Day ritual. It is a time for hallowed memories. The practice of cutting speechmaking to a bare minimum is an eminently sensible one. "Speech is silvern, but silence is golden." The some author said, even more finely: "The loved dead lie sil- ent in the mausoleum of our hearts, serenely sad as Eternity,—not in loud sorrow as of Time." Remembrance Day shoul have another meaning, of course, for all of us. It implies consecration and re-dedication to the ideals of our heroic dead. It is not enough that a mute respect be paid one day each year. Life must be inspired by a steadfast faith that the kind of world In which they believed, and for which they fought, is not impossible. Until the shadow of war is removed for all time, and the companion shadows of want and fear, and intolerance and greed and injustice as well- fFather, fake Thou this hour Into Thy hands For Thy Name's sake.

The statement by on outstanding railway official which appeared in yesterday's issue indi- cated that so far as the railway is concerned, they are just as anxious as the potato growers and dealers to save our crop for the realization of a decent price this fall and coming winter. The C. N. R. is using its resources to provide refrigerator cars in large numbers for the car- riage of our products, but unfortunately, they soy, the car ferry is not in a position to handle them expeditiously enough to convey the bulk of our crop to the markets. It does not take an expert to realize that this is actually so, for not- withstanding the services of the Scotia the process of covering the distance between here and the mainland is slow indeed. This being so, the producers and exporters must look for relief in other directions, and as has been suggested in these columns, the ques- tion af storage is largely up to the Government in order that the winter months may be covered and the spring arrive with our unexported sur- plus still in good condition for marketing. The question is where can such temporary storage be found? It has been suggested that this can be answer- ed by applying to the Federal Government for the use of one hangar at the Charlottetown air- likely to get any cream for Christmas. officially announced that all surplus butter was being exported to Britain or approved countries such as lndia, Ceylon, Singapore and Hongkong.
