Who will forget the Falaise Gap? | Or Pineon west of Orne? |But at Auchie and Gruchy, and Fran- queville Were these later victories born. Great cities and countries have fallen now > To the host this vanguard led, Let us not forget the debt we owe To the oft unhonoured dead. I have seen the hell where a hundred fell At Rots and Grey Le Vey, Midst the reeking corn all mortar torn From Gazelle to Carpiquet Les Buissons is the resting place Of men who cannot die, Glengarians, Novas, Camerons, Hussars and H.

Victoria, Winnipeg, Ottawa Sent sons for the treacherous trail, Who must feed the guns and the tanks and the men, ‘Themen who dare not fal There were gunners and sappers from homes which range From the Bast to the setting sun, And many lie where the ripening rye, Danced to the devil’s fun. i} They do not ask a golden cacque, | Ora tower of graven stone, But that men may live in a world set free From guilt by their blood atoned. Dip gently your scythe, good reaper now O’er the fields of the hallowed dead, For young men fought and young men died Near the sea, where the earth if red. —By H. Capt. Stanley E.

DAN SONTAG BARBER INSEL SSSA ASS AS SSA SDS SS IS MN enn Cobb’s Limited CHRISTMAS 1944 Again time in her ever onward march has brought us to Christmas, and the closing of another year; and with it, the beginning of another. As we look back over the pass- ing year, it is mingled with regrets and sorrow, happine: and hope, and we are ready to pause with reflections of thankfulness and ardent hope for the New. War with all its horrors, and the dreaded aftermath, is still raging in all its frightfulness; grief, fear and famine stalk the earth. There is no peace on earth or good will to- ward men in the larger sense of things, but there is definite- ly peace and gond will in our own small personal sphere; good will and friendship in our contact with our fellow men and women; and I regard it both as a privilege and a plea- sure to be associated with you in our business dealings; you make it so much easier going in a war- torn world, in accepting the shortage of supplies in the spirit you haye. Af ter all, we have much to be thankful for. But we must not let it stop at that, Our duties and responsibilities in a war-torn world are much greater than ever — to foe and friend alike, to our boys and girle in the service, who long for home, loved ones and peac to the many mothers, wives, fathers, sweethearts for whom this war will never end until time closes their eyes in death. For their sakes as well as our own, we must face the future with clear considered judgment; with a fearless determina- tion to so change our present social order from its present form, of dog eat dog, of selfishness and greed, which can only terminate in want and poverty in time of so called peace, and lead us directly into another war. Let us change it from percentages of profits to per- centages of peace, to human welfare and good, to direction to a larger and fuller life, to helpfulness and hope; and in the attainment of this, there shall be no more war and no more poverty and no more horrors in peace My wife and sons, and my staff (the Happy Gang) Eleanor Smith, Margaret Martin, Eston Holsworth and Jack Pell, join with me in wishing you all a very happy Christmas, a prosperous and happy new year.
