The Vimy Memorial

Years of I.-ibniir in ‘erecting the impressive memorial on Vimy Ridge will culminate with the unveiling tomorrow of this enduring nioiiu— ment to the heroism and achievement of the Canadian Corps in the Great V\’ar. The details of the ceremony have been given wide publicity. The moniiiiieiit itself is one of the fiiiesterected in France and worthy of the cause it coininem- orates. It stands on the north of the Ridge in a most commanding spot overlooking the little Soucliez River, looking back on the one side to the blood-stained Lorette Ridge, Cabaret Rouge and Albaiii St. Nazarre, and on the other facing out over the plain looking out toward Avion and down on the city of Lens, the scene of des- perate fighting. .

Vimy Ridge action was outstanding as one which saw all four Divisions of the Canadian Corps operating for the first time as a unit. Its Commander was Sir JULIAN BYNG, who subse-

' quently became Lord BYNG of Vimy and Gov- emor-General of Canada. At 5.20 o'clock on the morning of April 9, 1917, the Canadians, with all four Divisions in line——extending from Roc- lincourt on the right to the Souchez river on the left—attacked the hitherto impregnable po- sition which the Germans had established on the Ridge. l);i_\-5 of preliminary bombardment had destroyed many of the enemy's defences; but a number of strong-points still remained. The at- tack opened in a storm of sleet and snow. By 9 o'clock the Canadians had captured the {0|’t_1' fied village of Thelus, had stormed Laliolie farm, and had driven the enemy off the Ridge on the right flank. On the left. however, stub- born German resistance resulted in fierce fight- ing for the 4th Division. One particularly strong point known as “The Pimple," WlllCl1.C0m‘V_"3"d' ed the entire crest of the Ridge, reillallled In the enemy's hands at the end of the day. But on April 10 it fell before the determined assaults of the Canadians. The enemy were swept back to the plain of Douai, where subsequently, in heavy fighting, the Canadian Corps captured many villages. By taking Vimy Ridge the Can- adians relieved much of the pressure on the coal areas of Northern France, and freed for the use of the Allies much—needed resources of fuel.

Such, in brief, was the Canadian achieve- ment at Vimy. But the monument erected there symbolizes much more than this. It stands as a memorial to all Canada's heroic dead, to the \'.‘\lr'iu1' and self-sacrifice of all who participated in that terrible conflict.

Locally, as well as in other parts of Canada, t'-:- Canadian Legion will participate in spirit in ie unveiling ceremony. Details of the mem- fll'l.'ll service at the \V;ir Monument appear else- i ' to in today's Guardimi. The occasion is one oi special solemnity and significance, not only to war veter.-ins but to all our citizens.

Safety Education :1 At the recent annual meeting of the Central i’;VVoim-n's lnstitutcs a subject of great practical .7. importance -that of Safety l’.ducation—was ,-__ dealt with in an address delivered by Mr. Justice ‘:"_, ARSI-‘.NAUl.T. The brief suinniary appearing at _: that time is supplemented in today's (iimkiimn E by the full text of Judge ARsi~:NAui.'r’s re- ; marks, in'which emphasis is placed on the‘ need iof systematic training of children to traffic safety habits. In many countries, }lis Lordship .. remarks, this work has been taken up in the :7‘, schools. The older children, after having been 2 drilled in and taught safety rules, are organized into patrols. whose duty fit is to see that on leav- ing school the younger children do not immed- iately rush off in a body but in orderly files, par- ticullr care being taken in crossing streets where - there!-‘is much traffic. : - . ,n_—emiest appeal is made to the wqmdi of the Provide: to get behind an educational earn- in the home and in the school with the .-~hII£Iing..t}2e,. number, of motor, on-

Btr,—It ta strarige how some people seek to put over the vlrona idea. It in impiiea in 3; ni.~1-re letter that MacDonald ‘ All around our coast for I suitable place for a summer-rant. It is quite likely that he never saw this part. of the Island between upper West River and the South Coast.- lncluding parts of Game Cove, St. Catherixios and Bomhnw. In his day, forty years ago, when cars were not used it was not easy to get. around, and even if he did search around, and even if he was charmed with many suitable places. he would still cherish the idea that to him, there was no place more historical or worthy to be remem- bered, than the adopted home of the McDonalds, who who in the early part of the 18th century. when persecution for religious be- lief was rampant, emigrated to the "Island of the free." They were. probably. the MoDoup1l$l'.-iupf aggl- :00. Many others w ve n successful abroad have done much :';i:aiicia.1iy. to preserve and build up their Leland ,haine, but none were so able to do so as McDonald. The tlilrigs that are pulling the National Park to West River are:— niagnlficent scenery. varied land- scape, splendid beach, the tang of the ocean with the smile of the river and intervening streams, the wink of good drink, poured from the rock by Him whose hand is pure; water-power for lighting. the iimbrageousuess of forest-trees. ccmpanlonabla sports of getting trout, claim and oysters etc. the general freedom from pests, avoid- ing the danger of being ecalped by armies which l:ok upon the ad- Vance of ‘every stranger an an act of nggress on.
