SALISBURY
now : Harare
Origin/meaning:
The arms of Salisbury were granted to the City Council by the College of
Arms in 1939 and replaced an earlier unsuitable design (see below). The green field
and corn represent agriculture, the gold bar represents gold mining, and the
three roundels with fleur-de-lis are from the arms of the Cape Colony, from
which the majority of the first pioneers came. The lion in the crest was
adopted from the arms of Rhodes. The motto "Discrimine Salus" means
"In Discrimination there is Safety", taken from the motto of the Traill family,
from whom Fairbridge was descended, and refers to the careful selection
of the site of Salisbury.
The arms from the 1930s
