MANITOBA COAT-OF-ARMS, ARCH OF PEACE TOWER, OTTAWA HIS coat-of-arms of Manitoba is carved in stone near the apex of the arch of the Peace Tower, Ottawa. The picture was specially taken for the “Kelvin Year Book through the courtesy of the National Film Board and is here reproduced for the first time. The rugged beauty of the crest with its buffalo and the cross of St. George is enhanced by the symbolism of its setting, the oak and maple leaves, the pine cone, the prairie crocus, and the Indian corn. The sun playing over the whole with its light and shade brings all into relief and gives the feeling of depth and a sense of solid strength.
