Common sense should tell us what to do, but the government makes a law, so if you don’t do what they say—they can FINE you. Seat belts need a law about them. Bicycle riders need a helmet, but we need a law so they can FINE you. Common sense should be enough. Now ATV and snowmobile riders are going to have a new law to protect them—now the government can FINE them. Common sense should be enough! A story in the Calgary Sun says motor vehi­cles should be tested for pollution. If you don’t pass they can FINE you, take your vehicle or force you to fix it. What about the senior citizen on a fixed income, who has babied the family se­dan for 30 years be­cause they know they can’t afford a better one? Lots of common sense here. What about the 16 year old who just got their license? Do they have money for a new car? Most are happy with one that gets them to town. Or maybe grandpa’s old truck can be resurrected and they can get it for free. Lots of common sense here. But why do we keep electing people who like to make laws that interfere with our daily lives? No common sense here. Every government office should have a sign on the door that says “Common Sense Stops Here”.

They paid dearly with their lives, that we might be free, And now, each life remains in a cherished memory. Each one went to battle, to do the job at hand, Whether it be in the air, on the sea or in a foreign land. Regardless of your background, you answered to the call, Husbands, sons or daughters, proudly went to defend us all. Each left behind their loved ones, not knowing what lay in store, But with a cheery smile and wave, they all marched off to war. The loved ones that they left behind, could only wait and yearn, And pray each day that they would have a quick and safe return. Many went to battle, and their fates were clearly sealed, And the waiting hearts they left behind, have not ever healed. So when you buy a Poppy, its not a mere donation, It’s a tribute to their sacrifice, those who died to save our nation.

Donuts and Coffee following at the Milo Community HallReport From Ottawa Gallant R.C.A.F Lauded by Power Glorious Record Has Cost 7,958 Dead And 3,384 Missing, Says Air Chief By “Torchy Anderson” [From the Herald’s Ottawa Bureau] OTTAWA, March 2,1944—They fly on the wings of morning; they fly on the wings of night; they know dawns over the North Atlantic, they know blazing noons over the Burma jungle; they know flak- laced night over Germany with a blazing carpet of hell beneath. With “Canada” on their shoulders they fly in Europe, from the coasts of their own Canada, from sun-baked landing strip in India, from bleak Iceland. They are the boys of the R.C.A.F., and the price they have paid fortheir glorious record is 11,342. Ofthese 7,958 are dead or presumed dead, 3,384 are missing, prisoners of war or interned. The story of the R.C.A.F. was told again last night in the House of Commons by Hon. C.G. Power, Minister of National Defence for Air. To this accumulated record of glory he added the chapter of another year of action. BATTLE-TRIED SOLDIER No man knows better than Mr. Power, a battle-tried soldier of the last war, that you can’t tell this story with figures. The story of these thousands of Canadian boys, the kids who left school to fly the fastest, most deadly aircraft developed by man, can’t be told by facts, by ranks of figures no matter how impressive their millions. Nobody knows better than Mr. Power, who manages to give the impression that he is thinking of their vast force under his command in the human terms. To him they are a bunch of Canadian lads who are, to use their own phrase, “doing their stuff’ in a manner and to an extent that the world at large, and some people at home, may not realize. PRIDE OF SOME FAMILY In his own words this is the core of the story of the boys who are paying the price for Canada’s astounding contribution to victory in the air: “Eleven thousand does not seem so very great a number in a war which has engulfed millions of lives. Nevertheless every single one of these gallant lads taken away by the grisly mechanism of was the pride and hope of some Canadian family. Every single life sacrificed represents an irreparable loss to the Canadian nation. Those boys came from families in every walk of life, from rich and poor alike, from those in high place and low; from the farm, from the city, from high school and college and university. “We ourselves, in this House have not been immune, six of our members have lost their dearest and best. They were a cross section of the youth of a democracy. The least professional of soldiers, the most gallant of citizens, living their young lives under varying conditions in different atmospheres in this Canada of such divergent views and interests. They found a common patriotism and a common purpose. HEROIC LOVE OF COUNTRY They, on the threshold of their manhood, developed a magnanimity of soul and lofty and heroic love of country. Looking at the future as they did, with the wisdom of ages peering out of boyish eyes, they counted the cost, they calculated the risk, yet remained through it all serene and undaunted. Let their selfless endeavour, their common patriotism, their unswerving purpose be an example to us in our Canadian task.” Mr Power was boasting last night, but it was the kind of boasting that made his hearers sit a little straighter in their chairs and realize how very far from the soft seats, deep carpets and safe speech-making lies the lot of thousands of boys who are fighting Canada’s big share in the war of the air. HELPING R.A.F. He was proud of the fact that Canada is supplying the R. A.F. (outside Canadian squadrons) with from 22 to 25 percent of it air crew in the British tactical command in Europe and Mediterranean areas—and includes British, New Zealanders, Australians, Poles, Czechs, Norwegians, Belgians and Free French. These are Canadian boys who enlisted and were trained in Canada and are paid by Canada. All that is exclusive of the 42 front line all-Canadian squadrons overseas. On the record of those squadrons Canada gets most of her credit with the world—even though, as Mr. Power estimated last year, there may be ten aircrew in the R. A.F. for every one in Canada's own squadrons. IMPORTANT ROLE “To judge,” he said, “by the paucity of public information carried in the British and American press, and in official statements and communiques with respect to the thousands of our men in the R. A.F., I should judge that if we had not had these squadrons of our own, even the people of Canada, not to speak of our Allies, would have been almost totally ignorant of the large and important part Canada is playing in the air and the defeat of Germany.” The peak of expansion has been reached. That much was made clear in the statement regarding plans for reducing the training plant in Canada. But, the minister said, we have not reached anything near the peak of our expansion against the enemy. Many thousands of trained men are waiting to take their places in the front line of this vast war in the air. STRENGTH WILL RISE “Our front line strength will rise higher for months to come,” he declared. “Even in spite of the heavy casualties we are bound to incur. Behind every move in building up the vast air training plan and in shaping Canada’s own very strong air force lay one objective—air supremacy over the enemy. He believed that the Allies are close to that objective today— complete, final, conclusive and lasting air supremacy in every theatre of war. He pictured our men flashing the skies of any part of Europe, unharmed and unmolested. The seemingly unattainable goal seems to lie within reach. The next few months may settle the issue. The immediate cost, he feared, would be heavy, but it would bring immeasurably nearer the final goal—victory. STARTED WITH 4,000 Canada started with 4,000 men and raised an air force of over 200,000. In the throes of rapid expansion she had trained 114,000 men in ground work, including engineers in 50 different trades. She has graduated from her air schools 86,000 men to fly and fight the planes of the Commonwealth and the R.A.F. more than half the total graduated by Empire forces. Of these 48,000 were our own Canadian-recruited boys. Canada staffed it and paid for most of it. She equipped it largely from her own material and her own factories. She has built vast defensive works and airdromes at home in neighboring territories. Canadian airmen helped drive the Japanese out of the Aleutians. They hunted the German U-boats away from our Atlantic coast. They helped guard the convoy route through the northwest Atlantic. ALL OVER GLOBE The minister’s picture included hundreds of Canadian boys flying to beat the heart out of the enemy in Germany. Over the globe are many more thousands. You’ll find them in Iceland, in the Hebrides, in Burma, in India, in Egypt, in Italy. Minus the statistics, that was the story that Mr. Power told the Commons last night for about 45 minutes. Perhaps he told it better because he is a very human person. Perhaps it helped too, to know that his son Pendelton, is adjutant of a squadron at present lending its wings to cover the boys on the beachhead at Anzio. Flight Lieut. Jimmy Sinclair, M.P. (Vancouver North) was adjutant of the same squadron before he came home on leave. Last night Jimmy sat as chairman of the committee of the whole house, while Mr. Power added another glorious chapter to the story of the Canadian kids who are over there helping teach Hitler and Goering something about air power.Hope Lutheran Church Milo ■■ft Worship Services: 2nd & 4th Sundays 9:00 AM Reverend: Gordon Cranch 1 Everyone Welcome!

Things are still fine here at Happy Acres (at least as far as I’m concerned. But first a quick note about irrational fears. We are ALL afraid of something. I’m not here to make fun of people who fear a particular thing, first because it’s unfair, and second because none of us can really control what gives us the creeps. It can be heights, small spaces, things with more than 4 legs, things with no legs at all, flying in planes - you get the idea. Remember, the first word in irrational fear is irrational. That means there is no logical, reasoned root to the emotion that grips us. Emotions come from our ‘old brain’ and can control our thoughts, sometimes (or most of the time) even better than our thoughts can control our emotions. So never expect this stuff to make sense. Some sage advice I was given on this by my father was “Don’t always believe what you think, Cam”. What is sad however is how often we mock that type of fear in another, when we harbour exactly the same type of fear - just about bees, or mice. So that’s why they call it Snake Valley. I’ve lived here for a little over two years, and shared most of my adventures with you. Ever heard me mention a snake? No? That’s because the subject has never come up. Oh, I make sure I have “Snake Valley” on my business card - it looks cool, and I delighted in answering questions in the negative, explaining that a century of agriculture has made it tough for anything living on the surface (gophers and badgers excepted). In the interest of full disclosure, Jo-Ann (long suffering bride) did see one garter snake while riding last year, but that was the extent of it. So imagine my surprise when suddenly Jo mentioned an offending reptile two days in a row, followed by dragging me outside to confront an actual live garter snake! I relocated said intruder to the ditch across the road, calming things down for the moment. The invasion escalated over the next week. For a few days you just couldn’t go outside without seeing someone slithering away. Jo-Ann was seriously offended when one brave little person decided that the perfect sun porch was on the edge of our garage pad in front of the garage door. (A perfect spot really, warm concrete with both direct and reflected sunlicrht, as well as a commanding view of the driveway - the ultimate place to meet and greet my wife as she arrived home in the car.) Flash the Cat adds to the trauma. Poor Jo was dealing with enough grief at this point, when our mighty hunter, who had been concentrating on stupid sparrows by hiding between two rows of carrots in our garden mornings, suddenly discovered the live green twizzler as cat toy. The sight of him at full gallop away from Jo with six inches of green flapping out of each side of his mouth was almost more than I could take. Flash is truly Jo’s cat (mine is the semi-comatose Winky) so the extension of the hunt is presenting the trophy - in this case to a horrified and unappreciative Mom. Flash was also dealing with grip issues, so more than one prize was suffering moderate to heavy damage. I became the full time body guard, land mine specialist (always in the front) and snake wrangler. Remember, true love is about understanding your partner’s fears, and being supportive. Finally the cold weather has brought some relief. My only concern at this point is that my freedom to leave the garage door open is probably a thing of the past.Arrowwood Cooperative Association P.O.

Milo Library NOVEMBER NEWS SNAPSH A Day in the Life of Your Librai As October was Library month, Milo Library partici­pated in Snapshot Day along with the rest of the Chi­nook Arch libraries. Patrons filled out a small question­naire and had their pictures taken to record the differ­ent activities/services our Library provides. The follow­ing are a few quotes from the questionnaire: “It’s a good way to read the books I want and save money.” “Teaching my kids to look at different books, shapes, colors. Computer is fun to try and learn.” “Free access to research materials and internet.” “Lots of resources close to home.” “Access to printed and electronic material.” “I am able to get access to a wide variety of resources locally.” “To get books I need for school and such.” “Resources, video conference courses, nice atmos­phere.” For pictures of our Snapshot day, check out the following link: http://www.flickr.com/groups/snapshotdav2010/ The Library Board will be using the information gathered from these surveys for our next Plan of Service 2010-2012. Thank you to everyone who partici­pated as this information is valuable to continue to provide our patrons with the services, programs, information and resources you require. w Purchases N E ADULT FICTION Wicked Appetite by Janet Evanovich, Torn Apart by Sharon Sala, Rain Gods by James Lee Burke, A Summer in Sonoma by Robyn Carr, Eden's Promise by Cassie Edwards, The Mist by Carla Neggers, Medusa by Clive Cussler, Cold Light of Mourning by Elizabeth J.

I’m not the only family member that gives an opinion; mudder has been voicing her opinion in politics for a great number of years; a few years back she resigned. Curious, I asked her why, the reason she gave me, “They just won’t listen to me!” She also likes to have her say, (always did with us adorable kids). Whereas we are no longer under her wing, she had her say in the Halifax Chronicle Herald just before Election Day, it goes like this: VOICE OF THE PEOPLE No time for election I am an old woman who has lived through many elections. There’s at least one every four years, so that makes quite a few elections during my lifetime. Now I hear and read in the paper that there could be an election in the spring. To my way of thinking, this would be a disaster. There is so much unemployment and so much debt. Elections are costly, contributing to more debt and more backbiting. That’s my opinion, “So there!” E.V. Stewart, Dartmouth, N.S. And that was “Mudders Point of View”. I do think what mudder is getting at is; no matter who gets into power, will the situation improve? Hopefully, with the voice of the elected candidates, I do hope they will do their best and be an asset to our community. n "Freedom of the press means no iron clothesSunday Morning A few minutes before the church services started, the congregation were sitting in their pews and talking. Suddenly, Satan appeared at the front of the church. Everyone started screaming and running for the front entrance, trampling each other in a frantic effort to get away from evil incarnate. Soon the church was empty except for one elderly gentleman who sat calmly in his pew without moving, seemingly oblivious to the fact that God's ultimate enemy was in his presence. So Satan walked up to the man and said, 'Do you know who I am?' The man replied, 'Yep, sure do.' 'Aren't you afraid of me?' Satan asked. 'Nope, sure ain't.' said the man. 'Don't you realize I can kill you with one word?' asked Satan. 'Don't doubt it for a minute,' returned the old man, in an even tone. 'Did you know that I can cause you profound, horrifying AGONY for all eternity?' persisted Satan. 'Yep,' was the calm reply. 'And you are still not afraid?' asked Satan. 'Nope,' said the old man. More than a little perturbed, Satan asked, 'Why aren't you afraid of me?' The man calmly replied, 'Been married to your sister for 59 years. Local Business? Then you need a local newspaper!

"Grandpa" The guard smiled, then asked, "What's he like?"
