Journal of that city noted the pc casion with approval and said, “Present-day Americans bear no more grudge against George III of England than Englishmen bear against George Washington.” Under the auspices of the Ameri can Women’s Club of Vancouver a birthday luncheon was held in the Hotel Vancouver. Attended by prominent Canadians and Ameri cans, the event was particularly mentioned in Vancouver newspa pers as a “perfectly arranged af fair.” Ely Eliot Palmer, United States consul general at Vancouver, delivered an address on the life of George Washington. Interesting in its spontaneity is the prqject planned by the Mem orial University College in St. John’s, Newfoundland. A request from the college for material and information on George Washington has been forwarded to the United States George Washington Bicen tennial Commission with the ex planation that students at the in stitution wish to prepare essays on the life and career of the First President of the United States. The college also plans to present a drama written around the life of George Washington. One of the most pretentious of all the Canadian programs in con nection with the Bicentennial Cele bration was carried out in Kingston where an entertainment held in the Hotel La Salle under the auspices of the American Women’s Club op ened the observance. Many prom inent officials and citizens of King ston attended the reception and it was reported an outstanding suc cess. The speakers were Professor R. G. Trotter of Queens’ University, who was introduced by Brigadier W. H. P. Elkins, and Wesley Frost, United States consul general at Montreal, ; who was introduced by Major j George Gregg Fuller, United States consul at Kingston. Both speak ers referred to the cordial relations between Canada and the United States and expressed the belief that such occasions as the George Washington. Bicentennial Celebra tion could result only in a better understanding between these two English-speaking countries of North America. Numbered among the guests at this function were the command ant of the Royal Military College, the mayor of Kingston, and many members of the faculties of the Military College and Queen’s Uni versity. Major Fuller also reports that seven ministers in Kingston deliv ered sermons on George Washing ton. Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs in the city and vicinity have also held George Washington programs and Major Fuller has been invited to address each gathering. The Kingston press was very gen erous in reporting these activities, and an editorial in* the Whig- Standard paid high tribute to George Washington. The article concluded in the following words: “Old antagonisms have been for gotten. Canada and the United States have existed side by side for a century without forts or warships, and this Washington bicentenary observance will further cement the friendship that has existed for years between the two countries.” Receptions and programs in hon or of George Washington have also been held in Montreal, Winnipeg, Sault Ste. Marie, and other places. Service clubs throughout the Dom inion have observed the Bicenten nial Celebration in various ways, and radio talks have eulogized George Washington. Without exception the Canadian press has done much to further the Celebration in the land of the maple leaf, and many editorials in the leading newspapers have paid high tribute to George Washington. Reports indicate that Bicenten nial features and programs will be continued throughout Canada un til the end of the Celebration on icxt Thanksgiving Day, Novem ber 24.
