Bay Roberts erected this statue
of the lone soldier to the memory
of her sons who died in World
War I. It is a symbol, not only of
the valiant spirit of those sons, but
of the living spirit that has led to
such progressive steps as the erection
of a very fine amalgamated
Ichool in the community. Bay
Roberls is the home of a large
number of Labrador-going fishermen,
and is well known for its
Western Union Cable station, established
in 1913. Men from Bay
Roberts have achieved notable sue·
i:ess in the many parts of the
world to which they have gone.
Here you will lind a large wood·
working factory, a hockey and
skating rink. a bank, and a weekly
newspaper.
