"Page 4 The Haileyburian Canada's Armed Forces SOEST, West Germany -- Can- ada's war heroes rest in beauti- fully kept cemeteries in Belgium, 'Holland, Germany, France and It- aly. We have ben able to visit the Canadian Military Cemeteries at Adege, Belgium, and at nearby Werl in Germany. In each, we must confess, a lump swelled into our throat and we had to stop quietly in a prayer of thankful- ness and humble appreciation. After visiting the British Dun- kirk Memorial Cemetery, we came to the Adege Cemetery in Belgium, which reads like a roll call of the Third Canadian Infantry Division. As one walks down the neat rows of stones the names come_ back from the various regiments and supporting units who fought in that area of Belgium, especially over the flooded polders of the Bres- kens Peninsula. A register in the memorial holds the names and particulars of the men, and the row and number of each plot. Among the rows we saw the names of Guardsman Edward Triebner, Canadian Grenadier Guards of Exeter, Ont.; Cpl. Einar Petterson, .Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa; Capt. John Henry Mor- tis, 12th Manitoba Dragoons, Pres- cott, Ont.; L/Cpl. Borden McGilli- vary, Stormont, Dundas and Glen- garry Highlanders, Cornwall; Pte. Harold Connell Irwin, Loyal Ed- monton Regiment, Goderich; Pte. William Henry Jacques, SD&G Highlanders, of Brockville; Pte. J. Cochrane, C H of O; Pte. L. Per- rigo, SD&G Highlanders; Lt. T. E. Annble, SD&G Highlanders, Win- chester; Guardsman J. C. Jensen, Governor General's Footguards; Pte. W. I. Darling and Pte. H. C. Channing, both of the CH of O. These were, of course, but. a few of the 837 men buried in this beau- tifully kept cemetery. We would like to have visited every one, but we wanted to visit that day sever- al of the small towns in northern -Belgium liberated by our Division in that awful campaign which earn- ed for Third' Div the unofficial title of "Water Rats". At the roadside impressive wrought iron and brick gates lead into a walk which skirts a cross- topped monolith. Inside the mem- orial at the far end a _ plaque reads: "1939-1945". "The Land on Which This Cemetery Stands Is the Gift of the Belgian People for the |! Perpetual Resting Place of the Canadian Soldiers and Airmen Who Are Honoured Here". Beneath the plaque, behind a bronze door, is kept the register. The keeper was at work trim- ming about the flower beds which surround the headstones. We met Frank W. Fisher, Commissioner of the British Imperial War Graves 'Commission; who offered his as- sistance here or at Ypres or Vimy || or any other of the many other cemeteries in France. During our stay with the 4th Canadian Infantry Brigade Group |' we visited the newest Canadian |! Military at Werl -- site of the pri- son where the war criminals were incarcerated. Already a number of Canadian soldiers are buried there, and nearby are the graves|: of wives and children who. died while their men were posted over here. Augmenting the gifts of flowers from their fellow servicemen are a host from German civilians which || Smother the graves and temporary wooden crosses. A list of Canadian war cemeter- ies of 100 graves or more for the 1939-45 war shows Belgium with three; France, six; Germany nine; Italy, 12 with 22 burials Rome War Cemetery, Netherlands, four. We can be assured that, although and the we are separated by miles of water || and land, Canada maintains the raves of her heroes in a manner |' befitting the sacrifice they and 'their loved ones made for their fellow men.

No matter how the election may go, I shall con- tinue to live in Temiskaming, and I hope that in the best traditions of Canadian democracy, my opponents will continue to be my friends. During the past few weeks I have met hundreds of people of all political persuasions. I have enjoyed countless discussions and arguments, and a great many cups of tea and coffee offered by hospitable housewives. It has been a great experience, and convinced me again that there is only one place to live, and that is in the north country, right here in Temiskaming. | When it is all over, I hope you will drop in and S : see me at Temagami, or if I am elected, bring me your § 2 problems and views at the central office I intend to set up. : Phil Hoffman Again, my thanks to you all.
