In these days we notice a great movement in Canada, in Engâ€" land in fact all over the world, by the Reds. Their code is strictly one we do not want, as we spent years fighting so that the British Empire might be free and not have a foreign yoke around its neck. The seed has alâ€" ready been sown, which is the seed of unrest and strife and misery. YÂ¥ou amount payable for single men $20.00 per month and a married man $40.00 per month and applicants must have resided 1 year in Canada prior to apâ€" plication. The date effective is Sept. Ist and no monies are payable until Octcber 1st, 1930. ber of this branch any time but we all wish Comrade Bell the best down in Toronto. I might add that I have some inâ€" formation regarding the Pensions Act now. It only arrived Saturday. This is the War Veterans‘ Allowance Act. Allowances are payable to Veterans of the Great War 1814â€"21, who saw actual service in the war. No man is eligible who saw service in Canada or Engâ€" land, unless they are pensioned or have received a final payment for a disability of 5 p.c. or more in lieu thereof. . Apâ€" plicants must have attained the age of 60 years or be permanently unemployâ€" able by reason of physical or mental disability. The act contains reservaâ€". tions as to income and restrict the ada. Worked at the following minesâ€" Big Dome, 1922, Paymaster, 1923, New | York Porcupine, 1924; West Dome Lake, 1925; March Gold, 1926; Old Success Mine, 1927. He is a shaftman, also an experienced miner. Since 1927 he has done odd jobs around. Was exâ€" amined at a local mine and turned down. Here is a man who served the whole of the war, and now has 3rd officers‘ certificate for "Marine," but must keep away from the sea, owing to doctor‘s advice; a good miner, steady worker; his pension stopped, and turnâ€" _ed down unfit for mine work. One of the many who gave his all and now is cast to one side as scrap. We are doâ€" ing what we can to get this comrade his pension back again, and I think he could be found a job at our various industries. A man with a record of work like this should not be allowed to be idle. Any employer of labour who could place this comrade would be doâ€" ing something to repay what this comâ€" rade did for him in the days of war.. The employers can rely on‘ the Legion‘ to do their share in getting this comâ€" j rade justice as regards his pension buti this comrade also wants work not charâ€" | ity. This man has no ‘""Red" ideas. He is a Britisher who still loves the old Union Jack. in spite of adverse conâ€" ditions. We had a letter from our Toronto| office asking that we transfer Comrade Birrell Bell to Christie street branch, Toronto. We are sorry to lose a memâ€" have only to pick up the papers and read of the suffering of thousands of people in the country were the red flag flies. We have suffering here, [mcstly brought about by these people doing the Britisher out of employment, 'and not only employment. They have ’their own stores, halls, and they send out of Canada thousands of dollars every month to support the red docâ€" trine.. There are some of these peoâ€" | ple who have become good citizens oi | the country. ‘ Some of them took the | oath of allegiance to His Majesty, the | iKing, and fought for Canada and the |Empire. This class we respect as good icitizens. but one has only to take hold of any newspaper and read the court columns and see who are the law breakers. It is the children of such as these kind of men who are taught to lhate the British flag, and everything 'British. Hate a civilized government | Hate the employer, police, in fact hate ] everything that is decent and provides a, living for people. They have the same, if not greater privileges than we Britishers have as they mostly get the benefit of the doubt in times when they are in trouble. They have had and in many cases, still have, the preâ€" ference where work is concerned, over lthe Britisher. Where a little extra | bonus may be made these same men are still to the fore and many of them single men. If one of them is a newâ€" comer he is taken in hand, by one of his countrymen, and taught what to do or say. If in trouble his countrymen rush to his aid, and if work is needed they pave the way so that he has a good chance to get employment. These men do not make a good type of citiâ€" ’zen; their mode of living. their brawls | in public, are not a good thing for the t children of men who are good citizens, and soldiers of the Empire, to be ! brought up amongst. : sneer and slur at the Union Jack, in a ,’ccuntry where the Union Jack flies is | more than we should stand for. To keep in employment and on the good] | [ | side of the boss, they don‘t mind in !many cases‘ using a little ‘ which we all know is detrimental to the ! Britisher and citizen of Canada. The | Dominion of Canada sent a goodâ€"sized |army over to France; also many men to Africa to stand behind the good old | gflag. In those days they were united, all side by side, fighting for King andf Now when we have the right | ! to live, in the country we fought for, to | Country. To be taught tol "grease," | ( Legion to the fore, These men ar | men of sterling qualities, men who hav \no fear, men who are not afraid t ;stick up for what they fought for, me who can and will smooth the roug | spots on the rough old "trail of life. | These men shawed their hand in Ot | tawa. They have showed their hand t ‘\the Porcupine and will again show thei | hand if needed when the livelihocd 0o | the exâ€"soldier is at the stake, and hi | dependants suffering. Could those wh loll around in luxury, in fine cars, hav fine homes, lots of money, no cares, n 'troubles, stop and think, and go an see some of the cases of distres | amongst exâ€"soldiers, perhaps the; | would think what they could do t { help in the matter. They could give their help as freely as we gave ou years of service overseas, our lives, ou! ‘hcalth, our all, for their sake, anc many of this kind of people are late comrades of the great war They ihave forgotten the boys who were beâ€" hind them in the thin red line. We have them right in our midst, so we know what we are talking about. It is the likes of these exâ€"soldiers (we were all soldiers) that we want with us in the Legion, along with the rest of those who are not so well blessed with the world‘s goods. These men with their influence could do much to help us to hold our own and‘uphold the Union Jack. Some I know feel badly about being suspended, but we forget about that, we are always ready to take them back into the Legion, if they pay up their arrears. Some have a selfish view of coming back. They owed around $10.00, some more, when they were suspended and want the Legion to take them back and forget all about what they owe. Some have the nerve | to ask to come back by paying $2.00. They forget the years the officials of the Legion have carried on the work, thinking and counting their dues would | be paid. Look at the good work done [ by the Legion the last three years. It cost money to do this work. Many can | well afford the arrears but hate to pay it up, hate the thought that they dropped out. We do not hate these ; comrades; we welcome them all back , again. Several have come back already and I think the coming back was not | hard and we have no wish to make the coming back hard. several have marched with the Legion during the last six months with the Legion badge in their lapel. We were proud to have } I | ! look after the united front we had in | them with us and we would be prouder the officer especially. We have many of our comrades and their dependants, â€"men yes, men, who give hours and hours of their time, often without reâ€" ] these olden day overseas is brokâ€" still to have them back in the branch. | Many an officer and N.

I know of several who have had at least five application forms, have made at least five different promises to join up, but somehow or E E compense whatsoever to foster that ? spirit of comradeship made upon batâ€" } | tlefields in the days of warâ€"men who are not afraid to stand up for their less E fortunate comrades, and see that at gl least they get a show, get a right to ~1 live in the country they fought for. We have also many, many exâ€"officers, N. [ C.O.:â€"and men who say, "To hell with I the Legion; I had enough over there in ‘ the war, and I don‘t want to be botherâ€" ed with anything connected with the army." We have had several of these | kind of men, that have only been too _| pleased to accept help from the Legion 7 when in distress. They called upon the { Legion, and found the Legion was willâ€" ing to assist. The Legion had often called upon them and received the ansâ€" wer quoted above. That shows poeor spirit, poor comradeship, poor citizenâ€" ship and lack of forethough. I know of several cases right in our midst, 3 J some who threw up the Legion, some who could have joined us, but would ; not, but the Legion was the first place | other have not done so. They would | like to be with us. Why not come now? | Some I know are afraid of their emâ€" | ployers, which is absurd, as the emâ€" ployer has more respect for a~ man who comes out in the open than a man who keeps behind out of sight. The lemployer at the bottom of his heart admires the exâ€"soldier as he knows that the exâ€"soldier will not fail him when : his help is required. Too many emâ€" ployers toâ€"day do not take any interest in their staff of employees. Some take | | great interest. The employer often ,does not know the real state of affairs and in many cases does not attempt ;to find out. The employer who does watch his employees and take interest in those employed has many exâ€"soldiers | in his ranks, just as good, if not better |than those who were not exâ€"soldiers. | He is not going to put obstacles in the way as he knows he has in the exâ€" soldier a good honest workman, a man with no "Red" ideas, a man who will n 900 46 . ce on mm on n mm ns s mm mm all those who they came to for assistance. They forâ€" got the dues were only a little more than a cent a »day. They forgot their comradeship made in the service all over of the Empire, in fact, they said, "To hell with the Legion. We , don‘t want it." What must they have felt like to eat humble pie and come to the same Legion for help. Some of not let him down. have that little fear forget all about it and join up new. Then there are iothers who have no time to be interâ€" ,ested in the Legion. That is a poor |excuse, as we have many, many comâ€" | rades who never get to a meeting, but keep their interest in the Legion in the | shape of dues. ‘"Dear Billâ€"Sorry I canâ€" ‘ not get to a meeting, but enclosed ; please find my dues," are letters which iwhom we helped joined up when they | got work, and their only thought is to ; help the Legion in any way they can.l ‘‘*Don‘t forget to call upon me any time, Bill. T‘ll be only too pleased to | 'help. The Legion was a godsend to | me," are words that count, words that : come from the heart and foster that spirit of comradeship that makes the Canadian Legion rank high. in the esâ€" timation of our countrymen. The same | spirit of comradeship, in the men who are officials of the Legion keeps the I often receive from comrades who canâ€" not get to a meeting. All exâ€"soldiers have the time to take enough interest to pay their dues, even if they cannot get to a mceting. The forms we now have enable them to be a member of the branch without coming to a meetâ€" ing. They only sign a form that they renew their oath of allegiance to H. M. the King, and promise to abide by the 'rules of the Canadian Legion. So exâ€" | cuse there is none.

Some have cost the branch 20 cents in stamps so far for statements. suspensions and statements which all help to reduce our bank balance, and is a wastage of good money if they have no intention to pay up their arâ€" rears.
