LIMITED, TORONTO Rowniree‘s York Milk Chocolate passes every test triumphanly. It is so distinctive in flavour, so satinâ€"smooth, so utterly deâ€" licious, that it marks a new standard in milk chocolate goodness. People remark how wholesome it is, how much they enjoy eating it. Try a bar yourselfâ€"but be sure you ask for York Milk ; no other bar has just that perfect flavour. OWNTREE‘S York Milk Chocolate in the schoolroom is a real bump of knowledgeâ€"the kind of knowledge that counts. The girls like York Milk better than geographyâ€"or almost anything else. They may forget the names of promontories and estuaries, but they won‘t forget the taste of Rowntree‘s York Milk. | F, A. Bush, J. H. Sollitt, G. G. Countryâ€" B. Curtis, K. L. Sanford, Joseph Cowan, G. E. Rhyno, H. Wearing and J. H. Stauntons application came in the mail next day. So that is 13 for January so far . Comrade T. Parsons was the bearer of some application forms and dues from our Dome comrades that could not get over. I‘m always pleased to see "Tom" as he always has some Legion business to transact from our Dome ccmrades. The torch was auctioned off and Comrade Grenfell was the highest bidder. The sale realized $5.0 and this has been sent in tobacco by Moisley Ball to Comrade Da.nielson‘ in Montreal. Comrade Grenfell reâ€" turned the torch to be sold again at our next general meeting on Jan. 27th, Ten new members came forward namely Ernest Dorey , Albert Paquette Everyone enjoyed the Smoker on Jan. 13th, and I had a busy time making out application forms and taking in dues. Business was brisk and I hope business will be more brisk on January 2"th. This, comrades, is what is done with the 32% cents per member that goes down to the Dominion and Provincial Commands and if we had the arrears that are owing to this Post we could send quite a number of 324 cents down below to carry on the work of the Canadian Legion. ‘"Many can help one where one canâ€" not help many!" These words show up on the report of the Western Onâ€" tario Service Bureau for December, 1929. The Western Ontario Service Bureau is controlled by the Ontario Provincial Command of the Canadian Legion. The past month has been most strenuous with an increased number of very complicated claims to pension beâ€" ing referred to the bureau. It appears incredible that the true value of the work done should not be realized by every member of the Legion in this district but gertain influences have been very busy minimizing our accomphsh-1 ments. It has not been our policy to ‘ advertise our success and it is very difâ€" ficult to adequately describe the character of the service rendered exâ€" service men, their dependents, widows and orphans. The majority of claims had failed of recognition through the official channels and by other agencies when submitted to this bureau. When it is considered that since the W. O. S. B. was placed in operation in Nov. 1926, 565 pension claims have been won inâ€" volving the payment of $681,789.00 in retroactive pensions, while during the next few years, these pensioners will Ireceive approximately $2,200,000.060, m ns some idea of the substantial character of our achievements will be understood. Every type of disability is represented amongst those successful claimants. Pensions have been rescinded for claimâ€" ants who have been trying for years to secure same, while many widowed mothers, widows and orphans have had the dread burden of poverty removed from them. The adjustment officers ,have had to work practically night and day to give the service which it can |â€" be fairly claimed is not surpassed anyâ€" |â€" where in the Dominion. It must be reâ€" membéred too, that claims which are |; not established often take up more |â€" time than the others, because no effort | l is spared to obtain recognition. A large | t number of entitlement claims in this | i category are subsequently established | s 1 r omm mm ts ns on before the Federal Appeal Board, though this bureau receives no credit for same. It is requested that all branch secretaries make these facts known to their members. It is felt by | n the adjustment officers that every memâ€" | 0 ber of the Legion is entitled to know | b that expert advise is available in penâ€" | 1 sion treatment and insurance matters, | n while the record of the W. O. S. B. should also be made known. Any branch officials or Legion members visiting London are invited to visit the ~| bureau, where the magnitude of the $ | task confronting the adjustment offiâ€" 5 cers will be apparent to any onemakâ€" ing even a hurried inspection. The serâ€" vices of this bureau are available to all whether members of the Legion or not. The constitution of the Legion provides |that our organization shall defend the | h "statutory and acquired rights of those who served and their dependents," and | f2 this bureau is endeavouring to do this| C to the utmost limit. The best of relaâ€" | Sh | tions are maintained with the Board of | W« | Pension Commissioners, Department of he Pensions and National Health, Federal | t Appeal Board and the British Ministry | ar rof Pensions. The officials of these the bodies have without exception courâ€" £0l tecusly received the adjustment officers and given generously of their time to discuss claims. The foregoing is only | Al1 given in order that the members of the | be: Legion will realize the real value of the W. O. S. B. and the a,dJustmentI officers will welcome any enquiries reâ€" lative to the work of the bureau. The|‘S lessons learned in adjusting pension | mc cliams are very valuable, and are made | ox, the basis of recommendations to the ma Dominion Command of the Legion, so that beneficial changes can be affected | Y» in the existing pension laws. The sucâ€" | ma cessful establishment of twenty penâ€" | ace sion claims during the month of Deâ€" wit cember has brought happiness and seâ€" curity to sick and disabled comrades and their dependents. Many of these | ; claims have been the subject of repreâ€" sentations over a long period of time. It is hoped when finances »permit to ; ; 4 t 3 uc o y hoii ht dA d A. 4 arrange visits by the adjustment officers to the branches, in order that further details of the work of the bureau may be made known.

Mail and Empire:â€"We have often heard and read of remedies for fatness but scarcely expected to see the subject discussed in a trade and engingering supplement of the Times. Those who dread what the future may appear to have in store for them should be comâ€" forted by the words of that paper‘s medical correspondent. It is normal, he says, for a large proportion of the population to get fat at 40 and to get fatter when 50 has come and gone. Corporations are normal; even a little shortness of breath is not out of the way. All th accompanying robust health, exuberant energy, generous enâ€" thusiasm. The fattest men and women are often the youngest; they are always the gayest. Compare these wholeâ€" eso _some folk with the shrunken victims of _diets, those queer, reduced people who always give the impression of having been dried." This medical authority goes on to say that the only form of "reduction" which is worth practising is exercise and let this be taken in mcoderation. Indeed cne ought not to exercise in order to get fit. It does not | matter the proverbial "two hoots" whether one gets thin or not. In short. man in his physical form does well to § accept what nature has decreed for him ] without so much as a murmur. l sn ~P BP P P l P P P â€" ePA s P P P L P P L P P â€" P In conclusion don‘t forget the general meeting on Monday, Jan. 27. Everyâ€" one that can, "come," and there will be the usual social hour after the meet* ing with the usual brand of refreshâ€" ments. |\ _ _Between now and the 27th January I would like to hear from as many comâ€" rades as possible who are going to stay vith the Legion that have had stateâ€" ments sent. I have a return to get out by the end of January of members in gocd standing, members in arrears and members suspended. _ Arrears may be paid in instalments. So hurry up, boys, and let‘s have as few as possible under the heading. President Neame is at present in Pittsburgh on Rescue station work and will not be at the next meeting, but we have two more presiding officers left in the 1st and 2nd Viceâ€"presidents. While in Toronto President Neame went to see Comrade Yates, who is getting along fine, and I‘m sure the whole Post ; will join me in wishing for a speedy[ recovery for Comrade Yates, I have letters that have been reâ€" turned for Comrades J. J. Cullen, T. W. Husson, and A. E. Johnson. Will these comrades kindly advise me of their whereabouts? President Neame said on his visit to Toronto the Provincial Command comâ€" plimented very highly on the way the Timmins Post was being handled and the many new members we had seâ€" sured. It‘s very nice, Im sure to have the Provincial Command think well of this Post. I hope shortly to have some applicaâ€" tions from lady comrades who saw serâ€" vice. We have two in the Post already, and we will be proud to have any lady who has seen service with us. I have also great pleasude in stating that Comrades Hogan, Farrer and Grenfell made a donation towards the expenses of the smoker. This generâ€" csity is worthy of note, and we all should be proud that we have such goodâ€"hearted men in the Legion, who come forward with donations. The enâ€" tertainment committee and the comâ€" rades who contributed towards the sucâ€" cess of the smoker is worthy of note. the proceeds to go again to Comrade Danielson. The generosity of Comrade Grenfell is worthy of note. So come again on the 27th prepared to bid heavy and often. â€"The Secretaryâ€"Treasurer A good many people are not familar enough with the geniune to detect the spurious, but they should beware of a $10 bill that can be had for $5 down and monthly installments, making a I total of $9.90. "A Timmins‘ critic is of the opinion that the Timmins "Kids" of the Norâ€" thern junior group will make any of the junior aspirants of this year step lively for N. O H. A. championship henours. This authority, and this title he earns on account of his proven abilâ€" ity as a player and official, goes as far as to predict that even Sault Ste, Marie and Chapleau will not be an obstable to the "Gold Diggers"‘ That is big and loud talk and likely to provoke arguâ€" ment from all corners of the Norther jurisdiction. We are inclined to the cpinion that there is more fact than fiction in the Timmins‘ opinion. This team has been in the making for two or three seasons and in that time sufâ€" fered many rebuffs at the hands of the perennial Northern junior champions, the TIroquois Falls Baby Eskimos, beâ€" fore reaching their present state of near perfection. The team mentors disâ€" carded imported material three years ago and started in building a team from juvenile ranks. In the first and second years they were easy marks for their group mates. This year they blossomed into a highly capable outfit and in the group tilts to date have shown that they are fit and ready for the big push. The honour that Iroâ€" quois Falls and Kirkland Lake have shared in the past seasons seems desâ€" tined to settle in Timmins this season unless serious challenger arises from the Central Group. Haileybury and Cobalt youngsters are showing smart form and both are confident that one or the other will meet the Southern jJunior finalists for Association honours. Timmins‘ strength is said to be in its front line." Toronto Mail and Empire:â€"Bogus $10 bills are said to be in circulation. "Observer," writing in his column of "Sportology" in The North Bay Nugget, last week says:â€" CONsSIDER THAT TIMMINS JUNIORS LOOK FORMIDABLE | The Renfrew Mercury last week says: "In police court in the town of Cornâ€" wall a few days ago two men received a shock when a sentence of two years each was handed out to them for tne theft of chickens. They had been raidâ€" ing poultry houses. In imposing senâ€" tence the police magistrate stated that in future he would show no mercy to purloiners of poultry. The fate of those two offenders, together with the note of warning sounded from the bench, will probably give more of a feeling of security to poultryâ€"owners in the Cornâ€" wall district. The Cornwall‘s magisâ€" trate‘s course might well be followed by magistrates and judges over all the Province. Since the advent of the motor truck, thefts of poultry have beâ€" ! come all too common. Sometimes whole flocks of poultry are carried off. Someâ€" times the premises of widows or aged couples are raided and one of their mainstays stolen. Now with a license necessary for transporting poultry over highways, and with magistrates handâ€" ing cut stiff sentences to poultry thieves, there may be a materially fewer number of these raids, "a conâ€" summation devoutly to be wished." The Haileyburian last week says:â€" "Radio listeners in Haileybury who tuned in on The Toronto Globe‘s "Newâ€" cast" last night were shocked to learn that Earl Mayhew, formerly of this was struck by a train in Toronto had both legs severed and died from ‘loss of blood while being rusned to St. ! Michael‘s Hospital,. He was about | twenty years of age and was the son of [Mr. and Mrs. L. G. Mayhew, who for | several years lived on Rorke avenue ‘north here. It will be recalled that Earl became deaf following an attack ’Of meningitis and it was on this acâ€" count, in order that he might attend a "school for the deaf, that his parents 3m-oved to the city about a years ago. It is supposed that his affiiction partly accounted for the fatality. Friends had hoped that it might be someone of a. | similar name, but checkâ€"up on the "address given in the broadcast showed that this was the same as that at which Mr. and Mrs. Mayhew have been living since going to that city." l POULTRY THIEVES BEING SEVERELY PUNISHED NOW RADIO GIVES NEWS OF DEATH O0F HAILEYBURY YOUNG MAN out of the wreckage unhurt. Another horse was killed by a train on the T. â€"N. 0. line last week at New Liskeard The latter horse was owned by a North Temiskaming man, who used his other horse to haul the dead one to the dump after which he went out and purchased another horse so that he could return home with a team as he had driven inâ€" to town. Edward Lemire, a young man from Guigues, Quebec, had a narrow escape on Thursday afternoon at the famous or infamous, Lang street railway crossâ€" ing at Cobalt. Lemire and one of the _horses that he was driving escaped unâ€" hurt but the other horse of the team was so badly injured that it had to b» shot by Sergt. Geo.
