THE ADVERTISER â€" Thursday? Feb. 13, 1964 â€" Page &! / Did you notice that the George Medal has been awarded to Sergeant Walter Leja? He was the army bomb expert who was dmmhununwmbonbulmuullutlhywhonncx~ ploded. Leja almost died of his injuries; perhaps he should have done. The blast shattered his left arm, caused severe brain damâ€" ®.. as«* other serious injuries. He is maimed for life; he will never be able to work or lead a normal life sgain . He was 42. All this in the merry month of Mai, mes amis, a time of year when the sun shines gently, the trees are a tender green and the FLQ gets the urge to drop bembs into mailboxes to draw attenâ€" tion to their demands for whatever it is they want (they do not agree on their demands even among themselves, but this just | proves they are free spirits, n‘estâ€"ce pas‘) Of course, they wen‘ lucky; they might only have killed a child who came to post &‘ letter and that would have done no good at all to the Cause, bul‘ instead they got a soldier, which was better. Leja was doing his job which was to stop the bomb from going off and hurting anyâ€"| one. He was a brave man; he had @lready tackled two other: bombs that morning but the third one got him. On this day of| May 17th, the Front de Liberation Quebecois had planted five| bombs in mailboxes in Westmount, some of which exploded withâ€"| out hurting anyone, and it was then the police called in the army | to help check other mailboxes. Of course, the FLQ did not speâ€"| ifically set out to mutilate Sergeant Leja, but they planted the! bombs knowing that there was a very good chance that meono’ would be hurt or killed. This has been represented as the act of | young, hotheaded patriots, but it was the act of coldâ€"blooded, ! slimyâ€"souled murderers. Italianâ€"Canadians, the Polishâ€"Canadians, the Negroâ€"Canadians, old Uncle Dom Coblezch unt all, but they don‘t try to achieve it with bombs and violence. They also probably want more Canadians to speak French and I think this is their valid complaint; French should be taught to all Canadian children in all public schools from Grade 1 on. It is not only the second language of Canada; What are the terrible wrongs and injustices that the FLQ is out to avenge and right? It is difficult to know:; different Frenchâ€" Canadians say different things. They all feel hard done by, but this is a condition of human existence for most of us, not just for the Quebecois: they want more job opportunities for Frenchâ€" Canadians; they want more sympathy and understanding for Frenchâ€"Canadian ways and traditions â€"â€" and so, probably, do the reign of Papa Duplessis, the suspicious, ignorant, hidebound Frenchâ€"Canadian outlook which instinctively rejects any offer from Outside as a trap â€" these are all factors which have contriâ€" buted to make Quebec what she is. The Maritimes have a lower standard of living than other provinces, but Maritimers are not under the illusion that killing innocent people is the way to make friends and influence people. Rest easy on your pillows, Regimental Quartermasterâ€"Sergeant Walter Leja, now honourably retired. and forgive us if we forget you â€" we have our own problems and the show must go on And even if you do not have much else, you have a nice medal now. 1 suppose you can wear it on your pyjamas. it is the language of art and culture. But if Quebec is a poor province by comparison with some others, this is not because the rest of Canada conspires to keep her poor.
