NOV. 10. 1950- zmemliranoo Iiay '"in earth which has resounded to the drums and trampings of many conquests, they rest in the quiet of God's at re with the brave of all the world. At death they sheathed in their hearts the swoid of de- votion, and now from the oft-stricken fields they hold aloft its cross of sacrific:-, mutely beckoning those who would share in their immortality." These words, spoken nearly thitty years ago by the then Prime Minister of Canada at the unveiling of the Canadian Cross of Sacrifice at Vimy Ridge, have even more meaning for us today, when we recall the sacrifices of another generation in a sec- ond World War, still more devastating than the first. Thirty-two- years ago today, the vic- torious nations rejoiced in the thought that they had not merely beaten their enemies but banished war forever, or at least for many generations. No one needs remind- ing how vain that hope proved to be. Yet there is cause for despair. Out of the first war came a great loathing of war and the idea of collective security, a living ideal which lacked only a clear appreciation of the difficulties of its enforcement. Out of the second war have come the great liber- ating movements, fine experiments like the U. N. R. R. A. and the Marshall Plan, and. above all, the glowing faith that, no mat- ter what the disappointments, we must make collective security work. The ideal is still to be realized, but the unprecedent- ed action of the United Nations in the K0- rean crisis shows that it is taking shape. Remembrance Day unites the hearts of many nations in two solemn, golden m0- ments, prophetic, may We hope. Of that time when all peoples shall enjoy perman- ent deliverance from the servitude of the sword. The silence will bring pause to the hurried run of affairs, and provide a mo- ment to think of what we owe to all who gave their lives that we might live. But our gratitude should be more than an emotion, however keen and heartfelt. It should stir us to a resolve to assure future peace by rededicating our own lives to the ideals for which they fought. Tltlllliz Tithing is not commonly spoken of nowadays but an Island clergymen recent- ly expounded it to his flock. There must be few church members who practise tithing in the strict sense or devoting a tenth of their income to the support of the Church and clergy directly, but on the other hand modern Canadians do not have to be ashamed of their sup- port of objects once benefited by tithing. The high level of taxation, direct and indirect, is occasioned very largely by ex- penditures for the relief of suffering hu- manity, the aged and the sick, the widow and orphan, to provide for the unemployed and to educate the young. In addition to the involuntary aims donated through the tax collector, mod- em man is met at every turn with de- mands on his purse for organized charity which once was the peculiar province of the Church. When these are credited towards his duties as a Christian it will probably be found that there are few indeed who do not tithe, be he nominal Christian or in- -fidel. But, of course, it is the voluntary free-will offering, and not the compulsory tax imposition that is meant by the tithe. . In The Forefront The Maritime Provinces have taken a commanding lead over the other provinces in the sale of Fifth Series, Canada Sav- ings Bonds, Bank of Canada officials in Halifax report, stating that the Maritimes have maintained a lead of 91.67 per cent over the rest of Canada. Figures for the whole of Canada show that payroll sales of Canada's Savings Bonds widened the iead over last year's record to more than three million dollars in reports covering fourteen days of the campaign. Total up 1 to last Monday night showed that 464,033 1 employee applications have been received for S108.892,100. The average employee application continues to out-run last years- st 3234.66. Combining reports for eleven doyssalen to the general public with latest payroll figural puts the overall total at 8149,526,H0. Total number of smiles- - lo datd is 544,078.

Q The Ottawa Journal falls into a very common error in observing that when Par- liament is si-tting a member cannot be ar- rested so long as he remains within its pre- cincts.

Wild Foxes Costly (Saint John Telegraph Journal) Ironically, Prince Edward Island is being bedevilled by foxes. The same animal that made so much money for farmers in the island province a few shori years ago is now costing them money. Foxes are doing so xnllrh damage to poultry flocks that the P. E. 1'. gov- ernment has placed a bounty on their heads. New Brunswick is having the same problem. although as yet the fox hasn't joined the bear. the wildcat and the porcupine on the bounty list. when the value of wild red-fox pelts declined to a couple of dollars or so, trapper: lost in- tercst in them. As a result. the foxes multiplied. The noticeable increase in the fox population is the chief reason blamed for last year's slump in the kill of ruffed "0U90- 0? Partridge, by hunters. The foxes got them first. Meanwhile the market price of the elite silver fox-originally worth thousands of dollars a pair --has dropped way down. Breed- ers say they are losing money on them under present conditions. The cost of new wire for the rambling fox pens in so high that some ranches haven't kept up re- pairs. and silver foxes have oc- casionally darted out to freedom. loinim and breeding with their wild cousins, thus further increas- ml the number or predators. Partridge and other small game aren't the only victims of the fox- es.
