Woman-es Owing to the small amount still re- running in our Relief Fund "we here been under the punful necessity of turning away upplieente for relief during the past week. This condition of afiairs relative to our relief work is very regrettable, but 1n every cloud there is a silver lining, which in our case is the feet that the Bazaar and Draw in connection therewith will‘ soon be producing results, so that again can we, when opportunity ofiere, continue the work of ameliorating the lot of distressed ex-service men and their dependents of this community. Of course, we are taking care of the n! m non. awnmammznwm ,m already on hand, as they are of Qr- whining to legionnaires. A'n .. feature or the relief work 1s that the applicapens for hell-1 during the past week have been of oil-service men who have had both the timexand. money to join the Legion, but have neglected td do so. And be cause we are not in possession of the 'necessary funds to make tilese men immediate advances, they are quick enough to condemn usâ€"whieh is what hurts-in view of the extraordinary efforts we have put into the work of raising funds for rehef; once again I would point out that the Legion has no control ' of Government funds for reliefâ€"every cent for which we have to raise ourselvwrâ€"and it is only owing to the labours of our energetic entertainment committee and of the members generally that we have been so successful in raising the relief» fund at all. Nor does one overlook the fact. that this specific fund was raised wholly and solely by the generosity of the public of the Porcupine Camp, where-indeed all relief has» been ex- panded. This is as it should be.. One case in particwlar occurred this week of a man (who shall be nameless) who stated he would join the Legion some weeks ago, as it was then possible for himhto do so, he being 1n possession of a fair amount of money However, through neglect in failed to join, and now that, througlh adverse circum- stances, he applied for help~to the Legion, which could not be granted for reasons previously stated, he quickly condemned the Legion, lock, stock and barrel. To that wholesale condemnation I have just two re- marks to make 1n all sincerity. It is very distressing- to us to be unable to grant aid to any ex-service man at the present time, and it mere than hurts to have adverse commentsâ€"abut it will emphatically not deter us in edmvinu- Rafferty, F.

These names, taken at random, and from memory, do not by any means consti- tute a complete list of our wounded , and disabled comrades, some of whom :have been wounded once, twice, and even three times; but they do point 1 "out the fact that the great majority of .those who were the most grievously Ehurt physically are generously loyal to their comradesâ€"«and show it. For Eare they not legionna'ires‘l Would that the Dominion Government show but : one iota of the splendid spirit of these Emen, and the lot of yeterans in Can- ada would not need bringing to the notice of the public! Even as I write there comes to hand a. generous and unsolicited gift of $5.00 to our Relief Fund from Mr. J. A. Caveney, of _Sandy Falls.

In passing, in; is quite re- markable the number of veterans who, although in receipt of pensions them- selves, are ,yet willing to help, as members, the .Legion in Timmins to obtain for others the benefits of the Pensions Act.

At long last comes a communication from Provincial Headquarters to state that the Ontario Board of Trustees of the said fund propose (only propose,‘ mark you) three methods of extending relief out of the canteen fun‘d-s. Space prevents at present giving the pro» posed methods 11 full, but I intend to write to our comrade, Mr. A. F. Kenning, M.L.A. to keep a weather eye open to the interests of the le- gionnaires and eat-service men of this district (although of course, knowing Mr. Kenning as I do I am assured that «he is already doing so); this fund will be carefully watched by us, and the moment the matter goes be- yond the “proposed” stage we shall submit our claims in this vital matter. *Legionnaires in particular can be as- sured that nothing will be overlooked in this vital matter.
