Legion Members Number 108,903 Official figures show that the Legion is still growing. From the Atlantic to the Pacific reports come to hand of Increased membership. One branch of the Legion is on the far side of Vicâ€" toria Island and the members have to attend the meetings by the canoe route, still they are flourishing and keeping the Legion spirit alive in that far off spot. There are now 1,064 branches of the Canadian Legion throughout Canâ€" ada with a total membership of 108,903 members. These include men of high standing from the Governorâ€"General Earl Willingdon, to regimental staff .omcers and from brigadiers to the buck privates. Civilians, now, all banded toâ€" gether for one cause *"Service." How any returned soldier can possibly stand outside the ranks of the Canadian Leâ€" gion is beyond the imagination of the writer. There is no personal gain to its members. True is the statement made that around the number of 700 persons are employed and paid by the Legion, but if the facts were investiâ€" gated how big a percentage of these persons would be physically fit for other work, therefore it can be said we are doing a service with a smile. The work which has been done for all exâ€"servicemen stands out prominently against any other similar organization and our next big effort will be to try and" unite these other soldier organiâ€" zations under the one head.

THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Goodâ€"bye All Spring Squeaks In my letter defenc««g the prop>sed amendment to the Professional Enginâ€" eers‘ Act, which appeared in your issue of February l1th, I was under the imâ€" pression that I was expressing not only my own views, but also those of the sponsors of the act. I find, howâ€" ever, as a result of the exposition of the act given by A. H. Harkness before the local branch of the C.I.M. M. on February 27th, that I was in error in certain important particulars. In reâ€" speact to prospecting activities and preâ€" ed act and made out an excellent case for its support. Since then he has apparently changed his views, though his secomnd letter as appearing in The Northern Miner does not indicate comâ€" plete reasons for the change of stand. So far as The Advance can learn the new act will not prevent prospectors from making reports on properties, public reports or private reports or any other kind, except that these reports must be considered for what they are, that is, prospectors‘ reports, and must not be suggested to be reports by minâ€" ing engineers, unless the prospector concerned is actually a member of the Professional â€" Engineers‘ Association. Of course, if there is a clause in the bill stopping prospectors from making prospectors‘ reports on the property it shouid be deleted. In fairness to Mr. Reid his second letter, withdrawâ€" ing his stand in his first letter, is given herewith : â€" Editor, The Northern Miner: The Advance has been endscavouring to give both sides of the controversy over the proposed Engineers Act.

Very Low â€"Very Smart Timmins Â¥ In conclusion I w=uld state that while I still favour engineering legisâ€" lation as applied to mining, I must In view of the above points mentionâ€" ed, I feel that my attempted defence of the act, which I made both publicly and in private, has been stripped of most of its force, and opposition has been aroused in quarters hitherto friendly, so that I fear it will be imâ€" possible to apply it (the act) to mining. There is both amongst engineers and other members of the mining fraterniâ€" ty, a considerable section either in favâ€" our o¢f, or not opposed to, legislation covering mining engineers. They conâ€" sider, however, that this should be specific and confined to details purely of an engineering nature; in particuâ€" lar all private reports and prospecting operations generally, should be expliâ€" citly left outside the operation of the act. Those who framed the present act, appear to have tried to cover the complicated relations of enginegring to the mining industry, with a few broad phrases which hence tend to defeat the end which it was hoped to attain. In the matter of reports, I stated that the act was only concerned with public reports, designed to raise capital in the province and now I find that private reptorts are also included. my letter, and also in the draft copy of the bill, as the reporting on, advisâ€" Ing, designing of, and directin of, various engineering projects together with mineral properties, mining deâ€" velop«nent, etc., when such reporting, advising, designing, and directing inâ€" volved the skilled application of the principles of mathematics and applied science. This I consider, (and I am not alone in that opinion), lef; prosâ€" pecting and pireliminary mining deâ€" velopment outside the scope of the act. This clause I understand has since been deleted so that the act may now be reasonably construed as including work of this nature. liminary development of prospects, professional engineering was defined in 7 O To this address Hon, W. A. Gordon, of Hailtybury, Minister of Labour and Minister of Mines, made very forceful and effective reply. He showed what the present government had «accomâ€" plished in the way of relieving unemâ€" ployment. There have been 334 301 persons given employment up to Jan. 3lst, 1932, the total number of manâ€" days being 7,415,973. The total comâ€" mitments necessary ~to carry on ‘the work to Feb. 22nd, 1932, amounted to $76,426,387.00, the Federal government‘s share being $32,822,847.00. The work is still proceeding. The wage scale pald was also depended by Hon. Mr. Gordon, as a fair rate. He quoted from documents and newspapers to show that some of Hon. Mr. Heenan‘s statements were very wide of the mark. In reâ€" sponse to the repeated suggestions of Hon. Mr. Heenan that political patronâ€" age was rampant in the North in reâ€" gard to the transâ€"Canada highway work and cther enterprises, Hon. Mr. Gordon read to the House letters received from the mayors and other public officials showing that no discrimination was No Discrimination on Transâ€"Canada Road practised in the giving of empltloyment, and expressing appreciation of the Govâ€" ernment‘s efforts. One letter was from Geco. 8. Drew, mayor of Timmins, who stated that he had received no comâ€" plaints in regard to any discrinination here to party politics. "I am told that he is a very strong Liberal," Hon. Mr. Gordon said in regard to Mayor Drew, adding, "but I hope he has changed his views." Mayor Thos. McDonald, of Matheson, another strong Liberal, was quoted by Hon. Mr. Gordon as saying: "I absolutely cannot see any discriâ€" mination or favouritism shown to either ppirty. Political affiliations have no bearing whatever in the securing of jobs in the electoral district of South Cochrane." Hon. Mr. Gordon also read letters from Mayor Hunt, of Kirkland Lake, Mayor Sutcliffe, of New Liskeard, and Mayor O‘Gorman, of Cobalt, and others absolutely denying any idea of I have read with much interest the discussion, in your columns, on the proposed Professional Engineers‘ Act. Great benefits to the public are exâ€" pected to result from this act and it seems to me that these have not been given the prominence they deserve. In this connection I wish to point out that it is not unreasonable to expect that the working miner is also likely to ‘benefit from the act. On page 129 of the annual report Ontario Department of Mines, Vol. XL., Part 1, 1931, the figures show that the number of fatal accidents per thousand employses is two and a half times as great in sand gravel and clay pits as in underground mines. Certainly the element of risk in these two types of workings is not in proportion to these figures. Mr. Reid has pointed cut that most of the large mines, where most of the miners are empl.oyed, are directed by engineers who are properly qualified and are now members cof the asscciation, and I venture to suggest that it would be of great benefit to working miners if this type of direction were extended to all mining operations. Recently in the House of Commons at Ottawa Hon. Peter Heenan, Minâ€" ister of Labour in the King administraâ€" tior, and member for Kenoraâ€"Rainy River constituency, made an address in which he charged the Bennett governâ€" ment with apathy and delay in deaiâ€" ing with the unemployment question and also made the claim Ithat discriâ€" mination was shown in a political way in â€"regardâ€" toâ€" thoseâ€"emptloved ~on â€"the Port Arthur Newsâ€"Chronicle:â€"Even the reading habits of college students are said to have been changed by the depression. Librarlans and bookâ€"sellâ€" ers say that there has been an inâ€" creased demand for bocks on business, sscience, manual trades and serious beoks in the nonâ€"fiction class. There hras been a decrease in the demand for fiction.

With these forces operating, the Government would bring Canada back to ‘"normalcy‘" fasâ€" ter than any other country in the world. In every province, concluded Mr. Gorâ€" don, the Government was working in complete harmony with all other agenâ€" cles and that work would continue in admit that, in view of the recent exâ€" position, the bill in its present form is not in line with my own ideas on the subject. Toronto. J. A. Reid. Right underneath the above letter in The Northern Miner last week there is another letter of exactly opposite intent. This second letter favours the propibsed Professional Engineers‘ Act on the grounds of safety for the workâ€" men. This is animportant point. Anyâ€" thing that will add to the safety cf the workers at properties will be welâ€" comed. Unless the new act is to give profection to the public there is no reason for its adoption, but if to protecâ€" tion to the public there will be added further chances for safety to the workâ€" ers, the bill would have a double reaâ€" son for support.
