TECH THTLER 1 3 C H U M Date: Wednesday, Nov. Client: Danforth Technical School Agency: Station Program: Journey of Remembrance Toronto, Canada 10, 1948 Number . 2 C ' ' : : - : ' ontinuity 'Iime 10 45 11 O0 Announcer: Larry Mann Announcer At this time I take pleasure in introducing Mr. Roy S. Foley, Head of Foley: the English and Language Departments of the Danforth Technical School. Mr. Foley is a veteran of the first WORLD WAR and was chairman of the War Service Committee of the school during the second WORLD WAR. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Foley. Thank you, Mr. Mann During the twenty years following the first WORLD WAR, every school boy and girl committed to memory, and on Remembrance Day, we heard intoned the stirring and challenging words of john McCrea, speaking for his comrades in Death: To you from failing hands we throw The torchg be yours to hold it high, If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders Fields. We are told that John McCrae and his poem and its message are out- moded. The fact is, for those twenty years we committed that great poem to memory g we engraved it upon our memorals, recited it and found for the moment emotional exultation. But never did we carve it upon the tablets of our heartsg never did we take up the torch g instead, in selfishness, we sewed the whirlwind, and reaped the savagery and devastation of a second WORLD WAR. To-day we find ourselves again almost in the identically perilous plight of ten years ago. And again we hear speaking to us the voices of the Undying Dead, speaking now with more impelling and imperious urgencyg counselling, us not to selfishness, or cynicism. or doubt, or fear, but counselling us to manly fortitude, to unshaken loyalties and fidelities to home and school, to church and to state: counselling us to a re-dedication of our lives to the unfinished work which they so nobly advanced. In February, 1941, during the fury of the battle of Britain, President Roosevelt pencilled on a piece of paper and despatched to Winston Churchill this fragment of a poem by Longfellow : Sail on, O ship of state l Sail on, O union, strong and brave ! Humanity with all its fears With all the hopes of future years, Hangs breathless on thy fate. Churchill promptly replied with these characteristic words : Give us your faith and your blessing. We shall not fail or falter. We shall not weaken nor tire. Neither the sudden shock of battle nor the long- drawn trials of vigilance and exertion wear us down. Give us the tools and we will finish the job.
