It is a very pretty city with its quaint streets and buildings and modern ones too, The old streets are narrow and dark and the buildings are big and dirtyg however, in contrast, in the newer zones the houses are THE TATLER neat and clean and the streets are wide. In fact it surprised one to see that city streets could be so wide. Among the old buildings that fascinated me while I was there, was the Notre Dame Church with its twin towers which are replicas of Notre Dame de Paris. This church represents peace and beauty to the faithful parishioners who can be found praying there during night or day. This church is very large with gorgeous stained- glass windows and a beautiful altar at the front. After taking a street-car fthose crowded electrical buses that can be tricky if you have never ridden on them beforej we arrive at St. Catherine street west which is Montreal's great shopping and amusement centre. The stores are large and the sales- clerks speak both English and French. It is interesting to note that in Montreal the movies are open Sunday afternoons. If ever you should go to Montreal, do not miss seeing the Cross on Mount Royal. This beautiful cross is illuminated on Catholic holidays and it also serves as a beacon for ships and planes. It marks the original site of a wooden cross planted by Maisonneuve. Aldona Vasiliunas, XIIB. w N IT! :Tw I I op' 0 f5 -Q ,, TTR . Q Rumi: Ravens! M. French, XIIC 77
