Banners like this, supplied by a Philadelohia firm on the

order of Niagara Falls, Ont., city council to celebrate the city’s
golden anniversary brought a torrent of protest from citizens
when they appeared on city damp-posts.

Lundy’s Lane recalled
as U.S. insult scored

NIAGARA FALLS

A roar of protest louder than
the noise in the famous nearby
gorge rocked this border city last
week when residents learned that
a US. firm had hoisted 2,000 dec-
orative banners based on the Am-
erican flag across the city.

One merchant charged the de-
corations ordered by the city coun-
cil from a Philadelphia firm for
the city’s golden anniversary were
“Un-Canadian.” The local Imper-
ial Order of the Daughters of the
Empire launched a protest petition.
A member of the Chamber of
Commerce resigned.

City council member Ald. Frank
Miller declared: “We called in a
U.S. firm because it seemed no

Canadian company could do the
job.”

Falls’ residents were especially
bitter over the affair because of the
historic background of the area.

Reeve A. G. Bridge of nearby
Stamford recalled the famous
“Maple Leaf Forever” song of Al-
erander Muir and its reference to
the battle of Lundy’s Lane which
took place in Niagara city limits.
British and Canadian troops hurled
back the U.S. invaders of 1812 here
in a bloody battle.

“Surely that put an end to US:
domination,” exclaimed the 8g0-
year-old reeve. |

E. J. Leonard, a’ druggist, an-
grily declared: “They are definite-
ly U.S. decorations. I am really
mad. I feel like tearing them all
down and throwing them in the
gutter.”

In Toronto, he headed the de-
(partment of Applied eae
at the university.

His decision to accept a ee at
the University of Cracow was based
upon evidence, he found of “a tre-
mendous desire for peace and uni-
versal constructive activity.”

At that time he paid tribute to
the facilities for scientific research
in his. motherland. “TI find here
excellent “conditions for research
and scientific work and for’ in-
structing the young Polish genera-
tion. Nothing is spared in effort
or in money to develop native
talent that exists.”

Tronically, Cracow was the unj-
versity that he had been barred
from teaching at in pre-war Poland
because he was a Jew.

Following his return, the auth-
orities of the New Poland created
a special institute of advanced
mathematioal studies around In-
feld, to help further. his work.

In the past several years he has
been active as a member of the
World Peace Council.
