COLLEGIAN, l930 ning, we took a drive along the shore as far as Lachine. The next day we visited Mount Royal Park on the summit of Mount Royal. From the Look-out, we were given a fine view of Montreal and the St. 'Law- rence. That day we also visited the principal churches of the city. This ended our visit in Eastern Canada as we took the train that night for parts known. And now, all Canadians, list ye! lf ever you have an opportunity to journey in this wonderful land of ours, take it by all means. Be it to the east or to the west, see Canada first. -Grant Kroff, 5A. THIS IS THE LOVE This is the love that never dies-- The strong man's love for a stretch of ties, The length of steel as it follows the trail Over the mountains, bringing the mail. The engine starting with never a strain The limited train on the faster maing The slow tugging length of freights Laden with bacon hogs and crates. The sting of the madly driven snow That slaps the face a perpetual blow. The song of the merrily clicking rails Under the train which never fails. The phantom plow with its reddish hue Hitting the drifts till it batters through. The office hand with his humdrum day As he waves The Limited on its way. This is the song of the pioneer i Fulfilling the words of the gifted seer. For after the dog-team sallying forth The whistle sounds in the frozen north. -WTR LITERARY PRIZES The Collegian Staff is indebt- ed to all students who contributed in any way to the Collegian.

COLLEGIAN, l930 conducted about the place by a guide. This old fortification is cer- tainly an interesting place. It covers a large areag in our walk we covered one and a quarter miles and We did not go around the outside fortifica- tions. We were informed that in the days when the fort was in use, the moat about it could be filled with water, brought from the St. Charles River, a distance of twelve miles, within twenty-four hours. After a thorough inspection of the Citadel We set out towards the Plains of Abraham. This field is situated a short distance away from the forti- hcations. The plain is now a beau- tiful park surrounded by many shady walks. Along the walks are placed old cannons, some of which date as far back as the capture of Louis- bourg. We did not visit Wolfe's Cove but we were shown just where it was. When we had thoroughly examined the park and vicinity we vifited the Parliament buildings and some of the principal churches. ln the afternoon we took an el- ectric tram and went to Ste. Anne de Beaupre. On this little side-trip we learned more about the old cus- toms of the Quebec habitants than on any other part of our journey. The railway follows close along the shoreg we came opposite the lsle of Orleans and from the train we could see the farms marked out in long narrow strips of land, as in the old days of the Seigneurs. ln the fields, we saw the farmers working, making hay. ln our part of the country we are accustomed to see the farmer and his few hired men at work, here, however, the farmer employs his whole family, sometimes as many as seven or eight children helping, 'they have poorer implements in Quebec, the wagons are only small two-wheeled carts. The fields themselves look scarcely bigger than a good-sized city lot. However, the country is very pictur- esque. The white-washed houses and barns contrast beautifully with the green fields. When We arrived in the village of Ste. Anne de Beaupre, it seemed that we had come into a different country. This little village has not been modernized. The street is nar- row and is skirted by a narrow board walkg the houses are right against the walk. Of course, the chief place of in- terest in Ste. Anne's is the Shrine and Relic of Ste. Anne. This Basi- lica, built in 1876, was destroyed by fire in l922, and now a huge struc- ture is under construction. The in- terior of this church is beautifully deccratedg there are many fine paint- ings and statues. as is customary in all these churches. Of interest, too, are the many historical relics in the vestry, many of which have a long history, for example, the Mass Vest- ments were made and given by Anne of Austria, mother of Louis XVI of France. The story of the first miracle wrought at this shrine in 1628 is an interesting one. Louis Guimont, who was unable to work at the building of the church on account of a great infirmity which took away his strength, used to make frequent visits to the place. One day, through devotion, he took three stones, and put them in the founda- tion as best he could and was in- stantly cured of his disease. This is only one of hundreds of similar cases. Another interesting place in this village is the Royal Museum. ln this building is an exhibit of Wax Works and Oil Paintings. Included in the Wax Works is The Last Moments of the Marquis de lVlontcalm, The First French Canadian Couple who Lived at Ste. Anne de Beaupre, 250 years ago. Also the HLast Supper reproduced in wax. This concluded our tour of Beau- pre and We returned to Quebec, stopping off on the Way back to see the famous Montmorency Falls. The next day we took the train for Montreal, and here we stopped for a day and a half. The first eve- L32...
