While this is true in times of peace, it is even more so when war or pestilence invades the nation. In the old back settlement life of Canada a strong spirit of co-operation was always present. It was, indeed, the base' on which such settlements were built and by virtue of which they were enabled to survive. The north breeds men, and nature there does not surrender her gifts easily to those who propose to carve their honies out of her wild lands. The settler learnt quickly that, however strong or clever he might be, he must yet depend for many things on, the help of his neighbors both for work and pleasure; For instance, bams were built by a system of mutual .assistance, there wias much loaniilg of agricultural implements, etc.,' and settlers were forced to gather together in order ,to have any social life in the absence of theatres and other plmjes of amusement. A wedding was'an occasion for joy as a death was ^ cause for mourning throughout the community. ̂ ' Much of this spirit has been lost in these latteryears of Canadian progress to thee status of a'great nation, and . particularly so since ^ e posf^war depression, which has made for suspicion, between man apd' his neighbor. And yet iFlsfliat spirit of co-operation which must be re-' captured if Canada is to do her share in the w;ar. Generally speaking, the back settlement has now been succeeded by the municipality, and it is to the municipalities that the federal and provincial governments lare turning for assistance in the present crisis. The question of special police measures for the preven­ tion of sabotage are much to the -fore, and representatives of the municipalities have already been called to the provincial jcapitaJs to discuss war time arrangements,, althougb^^o .far ,, the particulars have not been ihade .public. In this connection it should be noted that the '̂ ecution of the policies decided upon is in the hands of the municipal authorities.. Then there the very important work of the Red Cross and similar activities, which, it is to be hoped; will receive the united support of all citizens. , , , It is too early as yet to judge gust what effect the war, £-UTis-nnd-nther-muni= LEYLAND PARK COMING EVENTS The Council passed a resolu­ tion that the property designat­ ed as D.L. 1050, S.E.t/i, S.V̂ , ap­ proximately situated at 10th and Esquimalt Avenue (Little Moun­ tain), be! hereby, named ojnd hereafter known as, Leyland Park in recognition of the many services rendered to"the~munici>-' pality by the Reeve during his long, term of service in that capacity.
