Vimy Ridge, a name that stands
oyt in the front rank of Canadian
military feats, • was recalled at a
fnemorial banquet held by Can-
adian Legion Branch 1Q9 on the
41st anniversary of the battle.
In welcoming 200 •veterans at the
Legion Mall on Wednesday of last
week, President W. A. Skinner ex-
pressed' the hope that the memor i
ial banquet will become, an annual
event„
Twenty-four Goderich and dis-
trict veterans who tpok part. in the
Canadian Army's atsault oaa Vimy
Ridge. in World War' 1 were in
'attendance at the banquet.
Following the toast to the Queen,
which was proposed by Frank
Reid, second vice-president, the
Last Post and Reveille were sound-
ed in honor of fallen comrades.
Grace was said by Col. the- Rev.
K. E. Taylor, padre of Branch 109:
In the opening address, Mr. Skin-
ner said: "This date, April 9, car-
ries many vivid memories to the
Canadian veterans of Vimy Ridge.
"Forty-one years ago, -° on an
Easter Monday morning, our Can-
adian Army made the assault on
Vimy Ridge. It is said Canada
fought its way to nationhood, as
the Battle of Vimy was one of
their most., if not the most import-
ant of all theirgreat feats of
arms."

Invites Legion
Mr. Scott, who was appearing in
the absence of Len. McGee, Kins-
men president, extended an in-
vitation to Legion members to
attend the next annual Goderich
inter -club meeting, along With
Lions, Jaycees and Kinsmen.
Chest speaker, Rev. Brea de
Vries,, of Blyth, was introduced by
Mr. Mathieson. During the Nazi
occupation of The Netherlands, Mr.
de Vries and his wife were acf ive
in the resistance movement. After
the war, they came to Canada,
where Mr, de Vries studied theol-
ogy. Now an ordained minister at
Blyth, he looks after a three-point
charge.
Mr. de Vries had been asked to
speak to the Legion on his experi-
ences in the Dutch underground
1940-45. He has given talks on
this subject a couple of times be-
fore -in--Goderich—and—his -remarks
on ',those occasions were reported i
in this newspaper.
In August, 1, Mr. de Vries
was taken prisoner by the enemy
occupation troops, -but he was re-
leased after his wife showed the
commandant some 'credentials
which had been cleverly forged..by
the Dutch underground.
' At- the close of his address, -Mr.
de Vries was given a tremendous
standing ovation by Legion mem-
15ers.
He was officially thanked by J.
E. Huckins, one of the Vimy vet-
erans. As a point of interest, ,Mr.
Huckins held tap a souvenir—a,
spoon—which had been picked up
on Vimy Ridge 41 years ago by
Harold Turner.
Mr. Skinner thanked the mem-
hers of the Ladies' Auxiliary who
catered for the banquet. Mrs. A.
F. Hill replied for the ladies.
•Members of the Vichy •memorial
banquet committee were: Mr. Skin-
ner, chairman; Ken Croft, J. E.
Huckins. Neil ,Shaw and G. C':
Mathieson.

Fe'bruary 1, 1958; the greatest in-
crease had been in the cost of
shelter, 0133.8, and the least in-
