Allward, stands in that part of Northern France where Canadian troops most frequently fought. lt is designed to commemorate not only the taking of the Ridge and other engagements generally known as the Battle of Arras, but also the whole achievement of Canadian troops during the Great War. From the platform of the monument rise two pylons representing the British and French forces. These are adorned with sculptured figures repre- senting Gallantry, Sympathy, and Sacrificeg justice, Truth and Knowledge: Death, Sorrow, Peace and the Cross. On the eastward wall, over- looking the slope, stands the heroic figure of a cowled woman-Canada mourning her dead. In front of the memorial, at the ground level, are two groups called the Defenders-one representing Sympathy for the Helplessp the other, the Breaking of the Sword. The memorial comprises twenty figures in all, each double life size. On the out- side of the pylons is the Cross. Other ornamental designs, such as the Crown, and the Fleur de Lis, are carved on its surface. The curving slope in front of the monument forms a large bowl-shaped area covered with soft, green grass. The veterans took their places on the sloping ground directly in front of the monu- ment, and their relatives were placed on the slopes on either side of the memorial. At 2.15 p.m. His Majesty the King arrived and, after receiving the Royal Salute and inspecting the Guards- of 70 Honour, he greeted M. Albert Lebrun, the Presi- dent of the French Republic. The religious service was conducted by representatives of the Church of England, the United Church of Canada, and the Roman Catholic Church. The Rt. Hon. Mac- kenzie King's message was transmitted by trans- atlantic telephone from Canada to Vimy Ridge. His Majesty unveiled the memorial after a short speech in French, and then in English. The Last Post was followed by two minutes silence and Reveille, after which President Lebrun gave his concluding address. We attempted to get on to the monument to inspect it but could not as the stairways were jammed with thousands of people. After exam- ining it from the ground level. we returned by bus to our billets at Lille. The next morning we were off again by bus. At the Franco-Belgian frontier the gendarmes, who ordinarily searched everyone going across the border, didn't bother with us. as there were seven- teen bus loads. We passed through Ypres and the Menin Gate, Sanctuary Wood, Zillebeke, Passchendaele, Tyne Cot Cemetery, Zonnebeke, and back to Ypres, where the busses stopped for an hour. The ruins of Cloth Hall, which was once beautifully decorated with huge murals, have been left as they were after the bombardment, except for the tower, which has been rebuilt. The chimes in the tower played The Maple Leaf Forever and other familiar tunes. We stopped at the Menin Gate and signed the tCcntinued on page 72-7-'

On the inside are inscribed the names of thousands who were killed in the vicinity. Each evening the Last Post is sounded in front of the Menin Gate Memorial on a set of silver bugles which were presented to the town by the British Legion in l929. All traffic stops for two minutes during this impressive ceremony. With this short tour over, we returned to Lille and ate a hurried lunch in a large auditorium on the outskirts of the city. The train journey back to Antwerp took us through Tourcoing, Courtnai, Ghent and Boom. Immediately on our arrival at Antwerp we embarked on the Montrose once more. As the ship moved slowly out from her pier, the distant strains of O Canada fittingly con- cluded this most wonderful ceremony and awakened the deepest emotions within our hearts. -T. Greenlees, IV C. A. Greenlees, IV C. IContinued from page 673 During the past ten years, and especially during the last few years, heating companies have spent a good deal of time and thought on the perfection of their products in order to bring to us types of air-conditioning to fit any requirement. Indeed, a modern home having complete condi- tioning has a fresh, clean atmosphere that, according to one manufacturer, compares favour- ably with a delightful lune day after a welcome summer shower. -William larmain, V A. There is a common belief that greenecoloured dyes in food are more harmful than others. Y Q i' Scientific research is not mere magic: it is the discovery of all the unknowns that affect a prob- lem, and what these unknowns do. The real sign of scientific research is not the propaganda issuing from the research department of some business, but it is the seeking out of all unknowns. 'k 1' W Mr. Iackson gave the class a sentence to punctuate. The top boy did it correctly, writing: 'fln came the soldier, on his face a fiery look, on his feet his sandals, on his back his armour, shouting aloud his battle cry. ' The dunce handed in the following: In came the soldier on his face, a fiery look on his feet, his sandals on his back, his armour shouting aloud his battle cry.
