been to Britain's liking. but surely 1t is no impenetrable mystery.
 It is time that the ancient bit- terness was eradicated. The world begins a better and brighter day. old hates, old grievances, old differences should be put aside. The people of Southern Ireland, by the hundreds and hundreds of thousands, actively aided Britain in the war. That gratuitous assistance should be enough for MT. Churchill, to whom as a person or as spokes- man for his country. they owe no debt. Threats, recrimination are, in the light of the past, wholly unjustified; in the light of the future, they are altogether inadvisable.

God that the war is over.
However we would like to stress
the fact that OUR work is Just
beginning. Millions of our boys
will be coming home to hospitals
where they will need all we can
give them.
Let us now resolve that by every
propaganda means in our power,
we shall see that not ONE of these
boys will be forgotten or neglect
ed as long as he lives.
1t would be fine thing to have
living memorial here in Rock
vile, to the living and dead of our
community. The old Dawson prop
erty might be turned into a shrine,
which the returning soldiers might
use as club for relaxation and
pleasure. The old families might
enshrine there some lovely old
pieces of furniture. Let us think
of this. Not many communities
have such a lovely old place wait
ing to be used.

and happiness, let US remember
the boys still need US.
