NEWS STARTS ITS FIFTH j
YEAR Nr XT SATURDAY J
This is the fifty second num
ber of the Fourth volume of the
McCarthy Weekly Nevvs. Next
Satnrday starts the fifth year
of its publication.
We have to thank the residents
and business people of this sec
tion for their support during
the four years that have past,
without which, this shift would
have never weathered the
storms.
We hope to merit their con
tinued support for the year that
is coming and that it brings
brighter things for us all.
Not since 1914 have we had
had such a wonderful Fall. Here
it is the 5th of November and
not an inch of snow on the
ground. In South Africa an un
precedented fall of snow oc
cuied in the Natal and Cape Col
ony region, snow falling for 15
hours continuously, and Pieter
maritzburg, capital of Natal, was
cutoff from rail and telegraph
communication for several days.
Even tho we live adjacent to
glaciers the climate in the Mc
Carthy section cannot be equal
led.
ARMISTICE DAY
Next Friday will be November
11th. the third anniversary of
the signing of the Armistice,
this day is set apart by the Al
lied nations all over the world
for remembrance of those who
were sacrificed to accomplish
the great purpose. ^heir
work is done, and we will ever
remember them with gratitude
and affection.
But the chie» duty of the citiz
en of today, is to keep on with
the work of living up to the ideal
that, our boys died for. We
only have to read thenewspapers
of »he world today to realize
that humanity is finding the
task infinitely greater than it
expected. It devolves
upon every one, irrespective of
age, sex and color, to live up to
the true meaning of the brother
hood of man, else Armistice
Day will be but a mockery.
In Canada, Armistice Day i*
also called Poppv Daw and a
poppy is worn by those com
memorating the memory of the
glorious dead.
