Bruce Mil- lar had been asked to give this address and thanked him on behalf of the gath- ering for such an excellent address. Marching quietly to the cemtaph. about 60 Legionnaires. wearing their berets and decorations and 40 ladies in their white dresses aad royal blue sashes made a very colourful sight. At the cenotaph.

President Blum, of France was als greeted with great outbursts of cheerin and after conversing with His Majest King Edward, the ceremony got unde way. After inspecting the special guard of honour, His Majestry mingled with the Legionnaires (comrade of )ld) duiing which time the bands of the RWCH A and Pipe Band played stiirlng maitial music. Mr. Pelletier. announcer for the occa- sion gave truly brilliant survey of the scene and ceremony. L‘Jud speakers shook to the tumultous cheers as His Majesty arrived accompanied by his brother. One could visualize the great gather- ing, estimated at 100.000 pebple.. as~ sembled on the SIOpes of Vimy. The planes flying overhead added a touch of realism to the picture. All radios were tuned-in to the broad- cast on Sunday morning and it is said that those listening heard the addresses zpore plainly than those at the actual scene. The unveiling of Canada‘s War memorial at Vimy Ridge was a. topic of much interest yesterday. The fact that His Majesty King Edward VIII was to unveil the splendid momument in itself. was of much importance But out- standing was the presence of close to 6,000 veterans from the Dominion. in- cluding many from Timmins and the Northâ€"men who have iii/ed among the ruins of Vimy district. where now beau- tiful modern villages and towns have sprung up anew from war's desolation and destruction. Not an item has been neglected. Running and Jumping stars of the mine have been training many weeks for their part and are looking forvard to breaking a few records. A full ranged. Intyre‘s year act before. A week from to-dayâ€"Civic Holiday -the Porcupine has the most varied programme of sports offered anywhere in the North. Not only the usual field day events. such as running. jumping, putting the shot. throwing the ham- mer. but events that only miners can enter. such as a mucking contest and a drilling race make the McIntyre‘s sports day a unique affair. To top it all. there will be two ma- jor gamesâ€"football and baseballâ€"- against out-of-town teams. Frood Tigers. of Sudbury. National League champions last year, will play foot- ball against the Macs, and a Kirkland baseball team will meet the McIntyre team.
