L.T., Literary Editor. ngiihkgu Q EBEC WILL REMEMBER What could be more alluring to a person than an invitation to escape from this atomic and frus- trated age and travel back two centuries to visit the quiet, sparsely-settled village of Quebec, the new settlement? Our hostess is youngfgreen we would call her nowadays. She has just newly taken over this job of mothering a colony, and the threat of war, in l759, looms like an ever-lengthen ing shadow on the horizon. But as we gaze at the massive walls surrounding the settlement, security soon supplants fear. There is safety in those strong walls-or so it is thought. How different was the battle of the Plains of Hbraham from those we hear of in the twentieth century. There was no time for tears-not even time for much thought, for due to the cunning Wolfe and his English army, the fortress city was taken completely by surprise. How different would have been the result if Montcalm, in his small headquarters had learned sooner of the plan. Then Wolfe would have met a wise and gentle- manly Marquis de Montcalrn-two great forces, LOIS MHRTIN. equally balanced, meeting to determine which was the better. Por what reason did two men die-eone in the hour of victory, the other in defeat? God wanted to teach us something, but, being slow to learn, some of us havent yet grasped it. W'e still fight, in our own time, for glory and territory. We havent learned our lesson. Today Quebec stands ready to welcome visitors and relatives. Our older and wiser hostess greets us graciously and proudly. Quaint Quebec-how typical! Historic Quebecedefinitely. But most of all, Quebec the prudent. Her aging walls constant- ly remind her that security is not gained by over- confidence. They whisper and echo the sorrows of that bloody battle. She was afraid. But little by little she has crept out of her shell and has spread beyond the walls. Pearfully she has settled down along the great St. Lawrence at the foot of Cape Diamond, the hill that Wolfe scaled to his victory. Upper Town has the Plains of Plbraham, and Lower Town has the Cape-they'll never forget. 23
