Vimy banquet held
Wi=ndsor vet is guest speaker
BY
NEIL SHAW, P.R.O.
One hundred and fifty
members of Legion.
Branch 109 and their
guests assembled in the
Jubilee room on the
evening of Saturday,
April 7 to commemorate
the 62nd anniversary of
the battle,of Vimy Ridge..
At this event, the
Legion remembers the
men of the community
who served .in World War
1 and, in particular, those
who saw action at Vimy.
This year, these honored
guests present, were:
Comrades Dick Cornish,
Clarence MacDonald,
George Ingles and Art
Laverty who are Vimy
veterans and Comrades
Jim Adam, William ,Bell,
John Benge, Orah
Crawford, William Elliot,
John Ensign, Charlie
Mills, William Taman,
Loe Ouellette, Harry
Symonds, William
Westlake, Archie
Wilkins, and Karl (Red)
Wilkinson who are World
War I veterans.
Branch 109 president,
Roy Mugford, introduced
the- "head table which
consisted of Zone
treasurer, Harold
Chambers, Branch poppy
chairman, Howard
Carroll, the honorary
treasurer of the Ladies'
Auxiliary Ontario
Command, Comrade
Evelyn Carroll, Padre
and Mrs. G.L. Royal,
Zone Commander -elect,
Bill Riehl and Mrs. Riehl,
Zone Commander,
George Campbell and
Mrs. Campbell, Deputy
Zone Commander,
Robert Chapman and the
president of the Ladies'
Auxiliary to Branch 109,
Anne Sprung.
The guest speaker,
Comrade Irvin Snyder of
Legion Branch-, 143, of
Windsor, was introduced
by Comrade Harold
Chambers.
Comrade Snyder
served with the Essex
Scottish Regiment, and
was a prisoner of war
from August 1942 until
April 1945. Today he is a
staff inspector with the
Windsor police depart-
ment and active in the
Legion as assistant vice -
treasurer, Ontario
Command.
The speaker c.om-
menced by remarking
that today those who
remember Vimy Ridge •
are becoming fewer and
fewer. It is only proper,
he said, that the Legion
commemorate Vimy as it
was doing that night.
From 1915, Vimy Ridge
becafne a focal point of
the Allied Front. It cost
the French 15,000 dead
and wounded in an un-
successful attempt to
capture this key location.
New techniques were
needed to neutralize this
enemy stronghold, stated
the speaker. When this
task was assigned to the
Canadian Corps, the
lifting ' barrage was
adopted, manoeuvres
were carried out on
ground similar to the
Vimy area, detailed
photos were studied prior
to the advance and a
series of tunnels were
constructed to protect
troops and stores.
The four divisions of
th'e Canadian Corps were
unable to capture the
ridge after three days of
costly fighting.
The real significance of
Vimy was that this was
the first time that the four
Canadian divisions had
fought on the same
battlefield. They went in
as individual units and
came out as Canadians,
stated Comrade Snyder.
This action saw the
Canadian Army awarded
four Victoria Crosses and
their leader, General
Currie, knighted on the
field.
Today, this remarkable
feat of valor is marked by
a white stone memorial in
memory of the 3,600
Canadians who died there
so that • Canadians may
live in a nation second to
none.
In his conclusion,
Comrade Snyder made a
special plea for Canadian
unity based on the
sacrifice of those
Canadians whd shed their

Jesus Folk
coming to town
Coming to. Goderich on
Saturday, April 21 is the
musical production en-
titled JESUS FOLK. A
cast of 60 from the
London Citadel Corps of
The Salvation Army have
been rehearsing long and
hard for this, their first
performance.
This will be the first of
three performances in
the region of Western
Ontario.
Oscar Hammerstein II
once put it: "It is non-
sense to say what a
musical should or should
not be. It should be
anything it wants to
be...There is only one
absolutely indispensible
element that a musical
must have. IT MUST
HAVE MUSIC."
JESUS FOLK has
music. Plenty of it. But
where it differs from
other musicals in that
instead of having one
continuous story line, a
number of separate in-
cidents are portrayed
which are linked together
by what they each add to
the central theme.
JESUS FOLK deals
with a number of the
original Jesus Folk --
those that walked with
Him on earth, - they tell
of the change that Jesus
brought to their lives, and
these stories are. linked
with modern-day
situations -- all in song, of
course.
Though the musical.
flows as a continious
whole it does, in fact,
consist of six separate
sequences which can be
named after the Biblical
character portrayed or
hinted at, namely: The
Man with the Paralysed
Hand, Lazarus, Philip,
The Demoniac, Zac-
chaeus, and Peter.
In addition there is a
theme song used to open
and end the musical, and
two songs dealing with
Christ's stilling of the

The songs themselves
