They, after all, are the ones who went to war and suffered through the horrors of combat. But they weren't the only Canadians to suffer, for war has no respect for age or sex. The horror that Canadians faced at home was of a different kind, the kind that made people watch their front gate and hope that the telegraph boy wouldn't show up with a telegram from the Department of National Defense reporting that a husband or a son had been killed. During the Second World War, more than 40,000 such telegrams arrived in Canadian homes. Twenty years earlier, during the First World War, more than 60,000 of these telegrams were sent. But concerns and worries about loved ones weren't the only hardships faced by the people whnr etaved at home when Canada You probably haven't heard of rationing, but it was very well- know during the war. Canada had a small population when the Second World War, started, about half of what it is today, and most of our factories were busy producing the arms and ammunition and ships our Armed Forces needed. That meant there weren't enough factories to make the foods, the cars and the other goods you are accustomed to. Because goods were scarce, the government decided that the only way to ensure that people got their fair share was to ration them. Canadians were given coupons that allowed them to buy a certain amount of butter, gasoline and food each week. Without the coupons, prices would have risen drastically, but rationing also meant that many of the things that had been taken for. granted, like Sunday drives and large meals, were no longer possi- ble. There were more serious Seminar On the ...~ Barnard Pt Eaminhds \ Slate---- from page 1 Cat Burglar Baker opened his discussion by telling a joke. He said a cat burglar entered an apartment and as he was stalking about he heard a voice say, "Jesus knows what you're doing." : After the man (we will take it for granted the burglar was a man) heard this message the sec- ond time, he shone his flashlight around the room. It fell upon a parrot. No big deal thought the man. He continued through the apartment, with his flashlight, and rounded a corner. There stood the biggest, meanest, Doberman Pincer he had ever seen. Just then the parrot talked again; "Sick 'em Jesus." Dead-end case Baker told those at,the seminar that Crimestoppers was started by a Canadian Police detective who was working in the United States. He had come up against a dead end in a brutal homicide investi- gation and decided the best way to solve this crime, and many oth- ers, would be to illicit informa- tion from the watchful public. The man staged a re-enactment of the crime and before two days had passed, he had those respon- sible in custody. The detective at that time had put up $300 of his own money as a reward. Now, money donated by the- public sector is used as reward money. At present, there are 700 crimestoppers programs in North America, 35 in Canada and 14 in Ontario. At present, through crimestop- pers, 9,000 arrests have been made, 13,000 cases solved, $14 million in stolen property recov- ered and $54 million in drugs seized. In Thunder Bay, 54 arrests have been made, 103 cases solved, $84,000 of stolen property recovered and $26,000 of drugs seized. inconveniences too, because there could be problems getting to work, or to a doctor's appoint- ment. ; When the war finally ended in 1945, there were huge celebra- tions in Toronto, Winnipeg, and other cities. How wonderful to have the ability to remember. It is our solemn duty at this time of year to remember some rather sad times in the history of our country and ene \ 1G Dupuis ai Leadms' 1 GL) Is A 4 oe ' : ak nation; a time when our young men and women went to war. I dare to say that some did not wish to go, but their love of freedom was a compelling urge. Many today do not recognize the importance of November 11. They do not realize that if our loved ones in the past had not gone to a foreign field to fight and die, we would not enjoy the privileges we now have. I am thankful for those who shed their blood that I might have this present'freedom that I enjoy. Some remember the tragic loss of life that wars have inflicted, but I remember because I now enjoy freedom. I believe it is better to die than to be a slave; I'm thankful that others felt the same. We should encourage our children to love freedom so much that they will not forget those who had to pay the ultimate price to preserve our freedom by giv- ing of themselves. Lest We F orget!

Arson in Schreiber Brink said a re-enactment will soon be shot that will show the Why were people so happy? Mainly, of course, because peace meant no more long casualty lists and-no more sad telegrams. But Canadians were also happy because they knew that their lives could once more return to normal, and that the sacrifices arson job at the Chimo Club in Schreiber.
