THE DESECRATION AT VIMY Nothinir ever conceived in hell's lowest p it can surpass xvii/it iiccordirifif to eyewitnesses has been done a t Vimy. By the wanton destruction of the Vimy Memorial and the dese cration of the graves in the surrounding cemeteries the Ger mans have shown themselves to be lower than the most de graded tribes of D arkest Africa^ who a t least have the in herent decency not to disturb the sleep of the dead. The iniquity of it has shocked .Canada and, the whole world. It m atters not who ordered th a t desecration, whether Hitler or one of his officers. The whole point is th a t it was Germans who obeyed 'and executed the order. As if broken treaties, treachery of the worst description, and the whole sale slaughter of the weak and innocent were not sufficient, they must yet do one foul deed more. The count against them is already past forgiveness, and, unless Hitler wins, there will be no place anyw here 'in the . world for Germany or Germans. And they cannot win. The day will come when the hayonetstof the Empire and France close in op the fleeing m asses of the Hun. In th a t day "kam -' erad" will be of naiaVail, because bivilization simply dare not ■ • let them live. . ,. .a / ~ THE GROWTH OF WEST VANCOUVER West Vancouver still oontinues"̂ To grow in spite of the war. Many new homes have been constructed 'th is yeari many are in course of construction. There has been" very little speculative building, the new homes being occupied by their owners, most of whom canie from Vancouver, as soon - as they were ready fo r occupation. Official figures, from the Municipal Hall show th a t fo r the first five months of this year there were taken out $293,982 worth of perm its as com- --pai'ed-with-$27-77250^foiL-1939,--Of~this~the-sjum-of~$26Z,33-7_ represent^ perm its for residences, which was an increase of $2,187 over those fo r the corresponding period last year. We give below a detailed statem ent of the two periods, a study of which will show the progress which is being made by the municipality as a residential sector, a progress which m ust be regarded not only as remarkable under the circumstances of war, but as an earnest of the great fu ture. whicK awaits West Vancouver when peace again comes to the world. . > Summary-of--Building P erm its: . =■ ____ . : 1939 ,.,.
