irny Ridge Battle Is Recalled At
nniversary Banquet Of The legion
(By W, E. Elliott)
The Queen. Last Post. The
Silence. Reveille. Then 150
'Legion members at the Vimy
mortal ba re!swung
into a -siiTg'sorig. There' -a
Long, Long Trail," of course,
and "Pack Up Your Troubles."
President Frank Reid called for
a number by • the veterans of
the Battle of Vimy, April 9,
1917. Percy Johnston accepted
on -behalf of the 20 men at the
Vimy table, and in good voice
led them in "Old Soldiers Never
Die."
It was a memorable occasion.
Forty-four years have passed
since that cold, sleety morning
when the . Canadians . took the
Ridge, yet a score of survivors
turned out to receive the honors
of their comrades and join them
in the, songs of long ago, 'they
heard Neil Shaw, immediate past
president, praise "the contribu-
tion they have made, not only
in the first war_but in ,succeed-
ing years." He said: "Canada
attained nationhood at Vimy."
"This will become the mem:
oriel. event' for -all- Canadians,'
said rev.- Finlay G. `Stewart,
D.D., • of Kitchener, the guest
speaker, who served as padre
with the Canadian Engineers in
War• II... "It actually remembers
all the great battles—the Battle
of Britain, the Atlantic, the
Beaches, the southern part of
Europe, Korea—wherever Can-
adians have fought down
through the years. Vimy means
great Canadian soldiering."
Vimy earned the congratula-
tions of the King. A few days
after the battle, Canadian units
in their 'daily orders promulgat-
ed "for the information of all
ranks" the following 'message:
"The whole Enipire will rejoice
at the, news of yesterday's Suo-
cesshil ',operations. Canada will
li_g_TA4ona fli it -the taking of the
coveted Vimy itidge has fallen
to the lot 'of her • troops. 1
heartily congratulate you anu
all who have taken part in this
splendid achievy:inent. GEORGx
it•t," �.
Has Copy Of Order '
Clarence MacDonald, serving
at the time with No. 2 Canadian
Stationary Hospital, kept his
copy of that order. He had it
with him on Vimy Night.
"It was Easter Monday morn-
ing, April 9," he recalled in re-
sponding to a toast to the Vimy
veterans, "The attack began at
5.30. The day was cold and
bitter, with a sleety wind blow
ing toward the German line.
The-- Vimy front was apprbxini-
ately 7,000 yards; there were
100,000 veteran troops and 1,000
pieces of artillery of all calibre;
four. Canadian divisions in one
place, and I believe a -British
division split up and reinforcing.
Although :it: -was, 44 r years:. age,.
I know the Vimy comrades at
this table have many memories
that linger. On their behalf I
wish to express their appreci-
ation of the kind thought and
the lovely dinner we have en-
joyed."
J. B. Adam, first ,yice-presi-
dent, called the roll 0134 names.
There were many'reasons for
absence last -Friday evening, but
20 Vimy men were on hand.
Their comrades gave them three
cheers ,and a "tiger."

The car- for people who
A Volkswagen will cost you a thousand
dollars Tess than most conventional cars,
and half as much to run. You'll save enough
to buy a boat and trailer. (Or a trip tQ
Europe, or the. best "part of a back-
yard pool.)
The car you'll get to' go with it is
designed and built to meet theme ds and
fit'the pocket of the average family. Big
enough for two adults, three growing kids
and luggage. Small enough to park where
other cars can't.
Because we don't believe in costly
style changes, we,can build more quality
int° the car. A VW doesn't date and it
doesn't deteriorate. It just keeps running
around, year afteryear, looking as up-to-
the-minute as the ones in the showroom,
You can expect to get 38 miles from a
gallon of gas under normal driving con-
ditions. You.',fl never need oil be-
tween changes.
jou can cruise all day in the sun, or
dawdle for hours in a jam. The Volkswagen
like, boats
can't boil over because its engine is air
cooled. It's fa -n, from unusual for a
-Volkswagen to -go 60,000 miles without a
major repair.
If you'd like to buy a boat (or anything
else) for a thousand dollars, see your
Volksv/ogen dealer. He'll show you the
car that will raise your standard of living. '

a number of the 71st men were
serving, but- on the day of the
Vimy attack he Was brigade run-

"'Our division, the 4th, was

"We did not -get as far as some
others. McMillan was wounded
the day after -Vimy."

Mrs. J. N. MacDonald accom

President Reid mentioned that
this was the fourth Vimy bale
quet here,, and that W. A. Skin

ager -secretary of the •Woodstock
branch, was the original pro

Dr-. Taylor, associated with
Padre Stewart in the Chaplaincy
Service, recalled 'that -the latter
and a Roman Catholic priest
named Sweeney were known as
the "beayenly twins,” because
they worked in harmony anu
when one was away the othei
covered for him. 'Dr. Stewart
he added, wa's five years in. the

We do our jobs, our conviction
about our work.
"These are pretty strenuous
ays. We are not going to

We may be priced out of the
market of the world. Goods are
being imported from countries
'th a different. standard_.of
d- threateping arkets
we possess today, and the only
way we will hold them is with
some convictions we have about
the way things ought to be done,
and the things that marked our
pioneering have to be written
into the way our products are
made, so that 'Made in Canada'
means made'by people with con-
victions, aild concern and qual-
ity. This carries into every
sphere of life.
Convictions
"People say, 'let the. kids grow
up and form their own -convic-
tions.' We must transmit some-
thing they, can catch and be en-
ths" d and lay hold of it by the
enthusiasm with which we hold
convictions about ourselves,
about our neighbor, about other
nations, about resources that
belong to the world and to -God,
rand about God Himself. When
in. this , age we _are moving _out
into_space, People w'ho.... have•
been talking about the infinity
of God are going -to he vindicat-
ed. We begin to see that the
endless universe, perhaps With
living people, operating on
planets like our own, has to do
with the infinity' and might and
majesty of God.
"Someone has said 'All know-
ledge is doubtful,' but it must I
be honest doubt. When Robin-'
son Crusoe on his island - dis 1
t covered a human footprint he
d I knew he was not alone. You
- and I are living in a strange !-
world, a world of war, prison
camps, refugees and all the situ-
ations happening about us.
There are footprints in the sand
that telr lis this world -
to God. When you find that
footprint you, can throw out the
d window most of the smart evid-
s ecce you have collected. Then
, be strong in ,your conviction that
- God's purposes will be achieved,
that 'Made in Canada' matters,
what world history has meant
and ' what- the politicallife of
- this country means. There is the
- point at which we can rest our
- sacrifice."
