REST CUTIE DID IT

' how he keeps looking an ycung. Meyer said:

"it was the rest cure at chateau Durchest ." He served part ot his sentence - he was originally sentenced to death-in the federal penitentiary at Durchsste . N.B.

The former Elite Guard gen- eral said he has no plans to enter the new German Army-”I'm a happy civilian"-or to” go into pol- itics. He has written a 400-page book covering his life from the in- vnslon of Poland to the end of his prison term and it will be pub- lished next month. It may be Pub- lished in Canada later.

Meyer was critical of Canadian Army generalship in Normandy. He said the only good general the Allies had on the second front in 1944 was Gen. George Patton. the late American tank commander.

He said Field Marshal Mont- gomery. Allied g r o u n d com- mander in Normandy. won bal- tlcs only when he had I prepond-

"The German High Command." he said. "would not have permit- ted the trial of Allied officers II we had won the war."

As the interview progressed Meyer's wife and three of his five children-four daughters, one son -quietly entered and left room.

Meyer speaks good English, learned mainly at Dorchester. He talks forcibly.

It is my great. honour and pri- vilege to address you on this sev. enty-.llth Anniversary, as a mem- bcr of the class of 1882 of St. Marys Convent, said Mrs. Pat- rick St, John.

The building of this Convent started in 1876, the Pastor being the late Reverend Donald Francis MacDonald of revered y. The builder was Mr. 'John Whelan of Souris River. when the build- ing was completed in 1881. His Excellency, the late Bishop Mac- lntyre, asked the good Sisters of Notre Dame to take charge.

Four Sisters arrived--Mother St. Cornelius as Superior. Mother St. Thomas, as Music teache . Mother St. lilarzzaret and Mother St. Eug- ene bnth as class teachers. On ar- l'lV8l they were met by the ladies of the Parish who gave them a cordial welcome and a supper was served in their honor.

Two weeks later- September 7th they opened this Convent School with an enrollment of 80 pupils,

There were two classrooms. These

rooms were heated by stoves, and without any of the conveniences of the present day,

Father MacDonald and the par- ishioners of Souris Parish were

pleased and happy to have the.

Sisters of Notre Dame Order and this convent established in the then. Village of Souris.

ll0d-By we Celebrate the 75th An- niversary of the opening of this Convent School and now we have six class rooms. fully equipped with the most modern convenienc- es. This convcnt school is rated one oi the finest. in the Province.

Among the native born priests who chose this chapel as the place of their first Mass were the late Monsigno Richard St. John, first native son of Souris to he ordain- ed.
