EDITORIAL

fOR many years May 24th has been observed as Empire Day throughout all British countries. Un- fortunately this practice has been forgotten or disre- garded by many people of recent years. Empire Day is a time when we can realize and be thankful for our British heritage of freedom. Although the British Empire has been replaced by the British Commonwealth of Nations, we are still one people united by loyalty to our Queen and by common interests and ideals . The recent visit of Her Majesty the Queen has brought us into closer contact with England, the mother country, and has made us proud to be her subjects. But if we have the h onour of belonging to the British Commonwealth of Nations and share its privileges we must be ready to accept the responsi- bilities attendant on this. The world is at present in a troubled and unsettled state. We are the future, and it rests with us to keep alive the principles of truth and freedom. Although the part we play in helping to better the world may seem infinitesimal, it is by no means insignificant. Let us not confine these thoughts to such days as. Empire Day and Anzac Day, but keep the:n with uc all the time to guide our actions. -G. M. Johnson, VL
