SHIP which set the vessel ablaze while | The U.S. steamship President Pierce is shown as ! into Yokohamg harbor, crippled by four myslerious explosions Challeng True democracy has four solid sides, said Group Captain D. C. M. Hume, speaking at the Vimy Anniversary in Whitby Legion Hall Thursday night. They are disci- pline, honesty, tolerance and team- 'work, he said. Group vaptam Hume, for 25 years a member of the RCAF, addressed Branch 112 of the Canadian Legion at Whitby at the Vimy Anniversary dinner. STOP, LOOK, LISTEN Exactly 36 years after Vimy Ridge, Group Captain Hume ask- ed his listeners to "siop, 100< and listen". 'Stop in our tracks a mo- ment," he asked, "look back at that great deed, and listen to its echoes across the vale or time.' In recalling the years that had passed since Vimy, he mentioned some of the events that had oc- curred that would be entered in the pages of history. "As we re-' treat from any great event," he said, "it slips slowly into its place in the perspective of history. it sheds glamor in exchange for dig- nity, excitement in exchange ror importance and magnificence in she limped | still 135 miles off Japan. The freighter and passenger ship de- | a a l4-degree list after 800 | of bank balance cunningly ac- quired." | CANADA'S POSITION | Canada, said the speaker, as she gains in stature must preserve her roots and her standards of be- haviour, not only national but per- sonal as well. He asked that Can- ada, made up of many migrated nations, bécome "a stock pot of the best, not a melting pot of the | mediocre." Canada, he said, is a | democracy and he offered a basic framework in which to hold fast 'a true democracy. "It has four solid sides,"' said Group Captain Hume, "They are discipline, hon- esty, tolerance and teamwork." He then explained his four walls: dis- cipline as the ordering of one's own self; honesty, the 1nainstay of any code of life; tolerance to work together to a common end. HEROISM AT VIMY Speaking more particularly of Vimy, Group Captain Hume said, "Great deeds are only great when greater follow them. Of such was Vimy." He continued, 'Let us place it with a laurel wreath of triumph, in its place in history. (Let us bare the brow to the es Legion To Uphold The Solid Sides Of Democracy tons of water had been pumped | into the hatches to quell the fire | that burned for 24 hours.

TRIBUTE TO CANADA In closing his remarks, Group Captain Hume paid tribute again to Canada, "that jewell British Empire" which arose only | one generation after Vimy to suc- cour Mother England in ner hour! of need. 'Without Canada, there would be no Briain, as we unae:- stand the name, today," he said.
