OnC" Of Managersij M li's t00 bad there are no veterans' &emeîeries around here because when and if the people who bekmirched the war casualty memorial at Victoria Park are caught, lhey could, hopefully, spcnd a few months tending such a place as work program punishment. We can't think of anything more fiting than t0 have these undoubtedly youthful offenders forced tu confront' ai least a hint of the sacrifice represented by thé monu- ment they apparently so casually defaced. We have yet to meet anyone unmoved when confronted hy the sheer enormity of wartime cemeteries - the seem- > îngly endless rows of simple headstones or crosses that lIand in mute îestimony to the cost of large- scalle armed conflict. suiant Il would bc appropriate t0 have the thoughtless vandals Y<Ouegf who îarnished the Victoria park cenotaph foçced (o reckon wilh the scope of that sacrifice, especially as il stands in P sîark contrast bo their own mean- spirited and petty ac-- tions.
