| | BA 4 HY » a is: Year Citizens Fear New War May Dampen Celebration Plans Paris, Feb. 17-- (AP) -- Paris will celebrate the 2,000th anniversary of its founding this year, whether the historians agree or not. > Julius Caesar, the objectors assert, referred to the city] of Lutetia Parisiorim, (now simplified to Paris) as existing in 53 B.C. They claim it. must have been founded much earl- ier than that. Whatever the exact date, every-¢ one is agreed that the Ile De La Cite where Notre Dame ghanis § so day) was the birthplace o ¥ bud still is the geographical heart of the city. There, on the largest of three marshy islands embraced by two arms of the River Seine, the first huts were built of willow branches and rushes by savages. 3 Then the empire-building Ro- mans came and for four centuries the infant Paris remained in rela- tive obscurity. When the Romans left Paris em- barked on a succession of wars, pegtilences and miseries. In the 14th century, while France was waging its 100 years war with England, Paris was still unpaved. Kings Embellished City Several French Kings then and later helped embellish the capital. They. were Saint Louis, Charles V, Francois I, Louis XII and Louis XIV But as new features were added, s were destroyed. ; at between Roman Catholics and Protestants succeeded the 100 ears War. 4 In 1572 Paris turned one of the bloodiest pages of its history. Two thousand Huguenot Protestants were put to the sword on order of the mad King Charles IX in the mas- sacre of Saint Bartholomew's Eve. Eighteen years later, amidst wild rejoicings, a Protestant king--Henry IV of Navarre--rode into Paris. City planning really took strides under Louis XV. Revolution Looms At that time, too, Paris was get- ting its first reputation as a city of light morals. But the people were preparing revolution. A mob stormed the Bastille--that dreaded fortress-prison where men were chained for years in dungeons without trial on a simple order from the king--July 14, 1780. The early victories of a young general called Napoleon Buonaparte --who became a consul, then an emperor--brought a certain stability back to Paris. He started building the Arch of Triumph but was top- pled from the throne before it was finished. After Waterloo, a Bourbon king (Louis XVIII) was king of France once more, Fifteen years later all Paris was seething. The last Bourbon king, Charles IX, was thrown out after bloody rioting and dull Louis-Phil- lippe of the House of Orleans be- came the "citizen king," a constitu- tional monarch. In 1848, barricades again were thrown across the streets. Louis- Philippe hastily abdicated. The Second Empire Paris knew four uneasy years of turmoil under the Second Republic before another change. Then Na- poleon III, great-nephew of Napo- leon, foundéd the Second Empire in 1852. Always haunted by his fear of the Paris mob, he wanted wide, straight avenues and open squares so the populace could be controlled with his cannon in the event of riots. An area was laid out around the first Napoleon's Arch of Triumph as a star-shaped space from which eight boulevards radiated. Churches and theatres, city parks and new . bridges, were constructed, But the war shadow fell again in 1870 when Bismarck's Prussians marched. The French army was destroyed and Napoleon III was taken prisoner. Finally, spike-helmeted Prussians stomped down the Champs Elysees --a march they were to repeat 70 years later under Hitler. The once- gay Paris was a city of the dead. Commune Takes Over When the Prussians withdrew, the revolutionary government of the Commune held sway. Thousands were executed within its few months rule, before the Third Republic gained control. The closing years of the century saw Paris gay again. Twice Paris was threatened di- rectly by German advances of 1914 and 1018. On the first occasion, with the enemy armies close to the Marne, the little red taxicabs drove reinforcements to the battle. In the Second World War, Paris was a sullen, defeated city, until the day of liberation August 25, 1944. Now, with conditions almost nor- mal, Parisians are worried that an- other war may make a new page in their city's stormy history. But celebrations plans are going ahead. Fetes, pageants, balls, illu- minations are all being prepared. ¥58 IMMIGRANTS LAND Halifax, Feb, 17--(CP)--The liner Goya landed 758 immigrants PFri- day, bringing to nearly 7,000 the number of persons, mostly new citizens, who have arrived here this year, 'Two Canadian National Rail- ways boat trains carried Friday's | arrivals to their destinations across , Canada, GRANT GIVEN UNIVERSITY Halifax, Feb. 17--(CP)--Dr. A.

M. PERCY Correspondent Myrtle Station, Feb. 16--Church service was not so well attended as usual owing to the change in the weather and quite a lot of sickness. However, Mr, Sawell gave a splen- did sermon. He took for his scrip- ture reading St. Mark 2-14:28, and spoke on the meaning of the Lenten season, which runs for forty days. "Lent is forty days of denial of '|some thing we really enjoy. In denial and fasting it builds our spiritual power, but if we fast for the Lenten season, and then feast afterwards it is very foolish. Jesus' religion is joy and you should be happy, if religion means anything to you. You will bury your sorrows and be joyful and minglé with others.

To control prices as they are now would bring no relief to the consumer because the profiteers already have grabbed as much as the traffic will bear. ; As part of a nation-wide drive, the Oshawa and District Labor Council is campaigning for price and rent ceilings.
