age person, such diet is apt to load the

gard to preparing for any dangers which
may threaten. In other words. II was a
meeting on preparedness.
The occasion was the Is4th anniver-
sary OF the birth of THE Father of His
Country" Police were forced to close
the doors in order to show the people
who had not gained admission when the
exercises opened that they would have
to deslst in their efforts to gain admis-

Miss Lawrence won the medal with her
essay OH THE Campaign Against Quebec

and received 1t from the hands OF Presi-

going to present you with this medal. In
