REMEMBRANCE DAY AT CRESWICK-Placing a wreath on the war memorial column at Creswick last Friday, Remembrance Day, the Shire President, Cr. J. F. Sewell, spoke of the honour due to the glorious dead, men and women, who served in the 1914 and 1939 wars, in Korea and Malaya, and now in Vietnam, fighting to preserve that freedom which is our way of living.
If the brave men and women who served could give us a message today it would be, "Only those deserve freedom who are prepared to defend it."
