The Will Rogers Memorial Tower
(‘Shrine of the Sun) is a 100 foot
tower on top of Cheyenne Mountain
near Colorado Springs, Colo. It was
dedicated September 1936 by Indian
Chief Fred Lookout of the Osage
Tribe and personal friend of Will
Rogers. The dedication was made
in the Indian language. The tower is
built of granite and at the pinnacle
is a sodium flare that is supposed to
burn as a beacon as long as the tow

“The Presbyterian Won the War”
while no formal accepted list of dis
tinguished Presbyterians who were
associated with General George
Washington in his revolutionary
campaigns has ever been made, so
numerous were Presbyterian ruling
elders of one rank or another under
Washington that there was a saying
that one-half of the elders in the
church were 'ruling elders’ and one-
half were ‘fighting elders.’

By S. J. Doman, CAV.N.A. Repre
sentative on the Press Pilot Train
.First Release Covering the Visit of
Their Majesties to Quebec and
Montreal
The provincial banquet at night
was another scene of great splendour
words fail to describe the grandeur,
it was a icredit to the Provincial au
thorities. The King wore evening
clothes while the Queen was dressed
in Pale Fink 'Satin encrusted with
gold sequins and wore magnificent
jewels.
On Wednesday night the press
party had to occupy the Pilot train
which sat along side the Royal train,
in order that we might leave ahead
of the Royal party, early on Thurs
day morning,
Enroute from Quebec city to
Montreal, it was one long line of
cheering citizens, some from the
nearby farms and some from the
farms not so near; in the .larger
towns and especially in Three Rivers
the press train received a tumultous
reception and this bespoke a real
acclaim for the train bearing their
Majesties and suite. At Three Rivers
I took pictures of crowds of children
and people pf all ages which I esti
mated numbered ten thousand, as
far as I coul'd see.
Montreal was a scene of grandeur
the press party was driven over the
route of the procession which was
24 miles long and teeming with tens
of thousands of cheering masses with
the buildings simply grand with dec
orations. I have -been told by an
official in this city pf Montreal that
the police department estimates the
crowd of visitors reached 1,250,000
which together with the million and
a quarter of population made the re
ception a great spectacle.
It was impossible for your repre
sentative to accept any of the assign
ments for Montreal functions as this
first story from the Royal train had
to be prepared and written in order
to catch the dead line set by our
genial Director Mr. Clarence V.
Charters; it is being written in the
Mount Royal Hotel press room where
a battery of typewriters are going
and the sound of fifty bands can be
heard in the distance.
FLASH — Their Majesties have
just passed the window and the
cheering is simply deafening; I had
a look to see the procession and the
King is wearing the uniform of an
Admiral of the Fleet, while Her Ma
jesty was dressed in pale blue en
semble with white fox epaulets and
small pale blue hat with blue color
ed veil draped around crown. (This
full description has been supplied
me by one of the society writers in
the press party).
My impression this far is one of
great pri'de in the .British tradition
and all that it represents; I looked

“Having arrived in Quebec, the

many were heard to say “what can
it mean” but they spoke in French
and I had the expression interpret
ed for me.
* Once the steamer docked there
was a feeling of great relief and the
populace gave vent to great joy; the
entire route of procession was
thronged by cheering lines of jubi
lant people. It was a grand spec
tacle at the landing dock, when
Their Majesties set foot for the first
time on Canadian soil. I was pres
ent in the Red Chamber (Senate)
when the address of welcome was
read to Their Majesties and a num
ber of presentations made. The cere
mony was very dramatic and lacked
in my opinion the feeling, which was
pent up in the hearts of all present;
this was relieved when a member of
the press gang commenced to clap
and cheer and it was the signal for
a great outburst of applause. The
Queen was dressed in a soft pearl
grey trimmed with fur and wore a
large hat; Her Majesty was decided
ly lovely, very lovely, in fact beyond
description. Her gracious bow and
simple wave of her left hand brought
joy and gladness to thousands of
hearts.
At the official luncheon in the
Chateau Frontenac at noon, there
was -a grand spectacle; democratic,
yet it had that touch of British splen
dour which struck a note of pride
in all those who had an invitation;
His Majesty delivered his first speech
at this function -and dressed in
simple Morning attire, he appeared
to be a little nervous but his speech
was clear and when he spoke in
French, the citizens of Quebec were
almost hysterical vvith delight for his
mastery of the language was perfect.
At this function Her Majesty car
ried a bouquet of roses and sat at
the left of the Prime Minister, The
Right Honorable W. L. Mackenzie
King, while His Majesty sat on the
right of the Prime Minister.
At the Battlefields I had a place
within a few feet of the stand where
the King and Queen reviewed 50,-
000 school children; it was a soul
stirring sight to see that immense
crowd cheer and wave small flags;
Their Majesties were evidently very
deeply moved and the King appeared
as wishing to speak to the children
after they had sung God Save the
King and O 'Canada, in both lang
uages, but there was no speech am

handled daily in Ontario and Quebec come from
people in desperate danger.
But all calls must go through at split-second
speed. This requires the highest standard of
