Well, we can settle down anyway. It shouldn't be too hard con- sidering our activities of the past few weeks -- that's right we're exhausted. Since the last column we've x during the 1961-62 term, The presentation of a past presi- dent's plaque has been a prac- tice of the Lakeland Chapter for many years. --Oshawa Times Photo New Book Vividly Recalls Grim Story Of Verdun The folly, the waste and the stupendous courage of the men who fought in the Battle of Verdun in the First World War seems to belong to an age at least 1,000 years removed from the present. During the inauguration of the Ossuaire in 1927, Petain re- marked that "the constant vis- ion of death had penetrated him (the French soldier) with a resignation which bordered on fatalism"'. It was a condition with which the whole generation that fought at Verdun remained infected. The German soldier of the First World War -- the Reich archives admit -- was more deeply af- fected by Verdun than by any other campaign of the war. Each post-war year the German survivors trekked to Verdun by the hundred, trying to find the positions where they had fought go long and so desperately. All of this is recalled in a|Western Front book on the/Battle of the Marne in 1914 and subject, PRICE OF |the great Ludendorff break- GLORY -- VERDUN 1916" (The| through of March 1918.There is stimulating new Macmillan Co. of Canada Ltd.) by Alistair Horne, a former cap- tain in the Coldstream Guards|the war, the brainchild of the and foreign correspondent of The Daily Telegraph. This is undoubtedly one of the best accounts yet of the im- mortal battle -- the author has displayed great skill and dra- matic power in marshalling such a: maze of historical data into highly readable form. BRITISH INTEREST The British interest in Verdun in 1916 is almost beyond de- scription "Save Verdun" slogans were scribbled along London's walls. Since that time Verdun has become a legend, a symbol of heroic defence. It was also something else, as author Horne points out -- as much as any battle of the First World War it was the turning point in the course of the war. As the dust jacket of this book claims, '"'It also had a profound lasting in- effect on the history of France during the following decade. The book recalls that the at- tack on Verdun was the only major German offensive on the between the no doubt but that it was an of- fensive unique in the history of cold and inhuman mind of the German Chief-of-Staff, von Fal- kenhayn; its objective to break the deadlock of 1915 not by a College Book Recalls Vanier - Power Rivalry By D'ARCY 0'DONNELL MONTREAL (CP) -- Georges Philias Vanier, Canada's first} French Canadian governor- general, led his high school classes in every subject except one--history. The classmate who beat him in history was Charles G. (Chubby) Power, Canada's war- time minister of defence for air and now a senator. The friendly rivalry between the two students is recalled in Loyola and Montreal, (Palm Publishers, Montreal) a book] that tells the story of Loyola and the role its teachers, stud- ents and graduates have played in the history of Montreal. Loyola started in 1896 as a high school and college and now is seeking a charter as Mont- real's only English - language Roman Catholic University. Author of the book is Timothy Patrick Slattery, a graduate of Loyola and a prominent Mont- real lawyer. GEORGES POPULAR "With Georges Vanier, I must be one o* the oldest pupils who took the full course at Loyola," Senator Power recalls in the book, "'We both started in pre- paratory and went right through. I lost a class some- where along the way and Georges was graduated a year before me but we were together in preparatory. "T am inclined to point with pride to the world that in pre- paratory when the exams were made public, in every subject but one the class standing was: First, Georges Vanier, second, Charles Power. The exception was history, which indicated a reversal: First, Charles Power; second Georges Vanier. "In Georges Vanier's case, it ig true that 'the boy is. the father of the man.' He was al- = , all through his school and' lege career, the same con- aiderate, serious, studious, hon- erable person he is today. Strangely enough, these charac- teristics did not result in his be- ing aloof from other boys but in him seemed to add to his popu- from France where he lost his right leg, above the knee, while fighting with the Royal 22nd Regiment in the First World War. From Mont des Cats, June 10, 961, the then Capt. Vanier wrote: "Yesterday morning a large calibre shell burst at m feet, knocking me out... . " few months later he wrote: "I am quite well again... . I have received a command to be present at Windsor Castle Fri- day, to receive the Military Cross." His old classmate, Power, received the Military Cross in the same year. Delving into history, the book tells of the 1847 plague of ship fever which killed Irish immi- grants by the score at Mont- real. It describes the 1853 Ga- vazzi riot in which 40 persons were killed or wounded. The Cause of the riot was Alessan- dro Gavazzi, an apostate priest with a reputation for impas- sioned speech. PARLIAMENT BURNED In the riot» people leaving the meeting addressed by Gavazzi clashed with a hostile crowd. The army was called to quell the outbreak. Also recalled is the burning and sacking of the Parliament Buildings in Montreal in 1849. A lengthy account is given of the 1918 raid by Canadian mil- itary police on the Jesuit's No- vitiate at Guelph, Ont., in search of young men some mili- tary authorities thought might be trying to evade military service. The Jesuits denied that any- one fit for military service had been accepted as candidates for the priesthood, but this did Chubby ry decisive victory, but by drawing 4|will be different, right? the French army into the Ver-)' been up to all sorts of things-- tobogganing without a tobag- gan, (without getting out of the car even--gee it was cold!), freezing to death in below zero weather while we tried to iden- tify the constellations, and stay- ing up to all hours of the night-- no, morning, at a '"'pyjama party." Poor Mrs. Pine--she had to put up with us. Monday was our first meet- ing for the riew year. We didn't start it off in very good style. (We never do, but we pick up later.) We seemed to be a bit sloppy in our drill, slow in our activities, and given to a good deal of giggling, but next week Mary Ann will find her shoes, the girls on opening detail will re- member their cue, and Deanna will learn to ring the bell. That's what we hope anyway. All in all it was a lot of fun and we even got some work done. Our Open House, we find, will have to be postponed a bit. With so many activities before Christ- mas. it was impossible to give it any time, and it.is felt there would be insufficient time to do it justice were we to stick to our original date, so there will be more forthcoming on that point.

"HOPALONG" 4TH CARLTON ROVER CREW In keeping with Boy Scout Week, which is to be held in February, the crew has started a drive towards its goal of "Ser- vice."

Von Falkenhayn -- to achieve this end -- assembled the most powerful concentration of artil- lery ever seen. The casualties suffered by both sides was tremendous, 700,- 000 in all, including a quarter of a million killed (roughly equiva- lent to Britain's total dead in the Second World War). The ma- jority of these casualties fell within an area perhaps barely as large as Richmond Park; of the dead, over 100,000 were classified as 'missing', their remains pulverized by the heavy bombardment, The impoverishment of men and spirit on the French side threw the main burden of the war on the British forces pre- cipitating the disaster of the Somme and led directly to the mutinies of 1917. The Germans had missed their last chance for a decisive victory. From Verdun stemmed the devitalization of the French army and the "Mag- inot Mentality" which were largely responsible for the col- lapse of 1940.
