Austin Neame was the founder of the Timmins Branch of the Canadian Legion and has been a consistent workâ€" er for the branch since that time. Durâ€" ing the past year the president‘s lot has not been a very pleasant one, hundreds of distress cases coming unâ€" der his investigation. With tact and good judgment Austin Neame gave all a fair hearing and the cases were asâ€" sisted as he thought best. It has been a hard year indeed for one in his position, but he has gone about the work in thorough manner, and he can say that no really deserving case was ever turned away. In other duties our president was one of the first to help and in this connection also has given generously of time and talent. It would be hard indeed to find one who could fill the position in so capable a manner and the members should all feel proud that once again Austin Neame will head our affairs. Plans should also be outlined at this meeting for the 1932 programme and this will make good discussion for the good and welfare. Give the new officers your suggestions and they will know that the members are interested. The entertainment committee are carrying on till the Vimy banquet, and for Easter Monday they have a programme for the enjoyment of all attending. Make an effort to attend. . Refreshâ€" ments will be served. The financial statement should also prove a very interestaing document and will no doubt surprise many members by the total amount of relief expended and other activities carried through during the past year. The press has been puvlishing letters to the effect that the Canadian Legion should exercise its power as a political force. Lieutâ€"Col. F. J. Picking, provinâ€" cial president, has made a timely ansâ€" wer, which is as follows:"There was no politics in front of the old Birdâ€"cage on the Ypres Salient, or in Regina Trench on the Somme, or on the Canal du Nord. The men who fought those battles were not politicians. It matâ€" tered not what political party they held allegiance to in thise days when they were fighting for their country, and there is no need for political conâ€" sideration to enter into the fight they are now waging in this country to seâ€" cure fair treatment for the comrades who are incapacitated as a result of their war experiences, and for the wiâ€" dows and dependents of the heroes who lost their lives in the conflict." Recalling Old Memories The night of the Vimy banquet is approaching and our thoughts go back to the days, (or was it "nights") before the big attack. Not many of us who were present at this battle recall many days as these were mostly taken in sleep. Fritz had all the advantage, and it is amazing when one considers the amount of work carried through preâ€" vious to the attack, that this could all have been done during dusk to dawn. One recalls spots of fame, such as Shrapnel Corner, Sniper‘s Alley, The lPimple and then afiter we captured the Ridge, the Plank Road, Souchez Valâ€" ley, Thelus and the Lens Road. We recall also how Fritz loved to keep us jogging along the Arras Road with WITH THOMAS MEIGHAN, HARDIE ALBRIGHT, MAUREEN Q‘sULLIVAN, DONALD DILLAWAY and MYRNA LOYX. sScrappy Cartoonâ€""SHOWING OFF" Vagabondâ€""DOGS OF sSoOLITUDE" Comedyâ€""CATCH As CATCH CAN" MATINEE DAILY AT 2.30 P.M.

In a letter received last week from John W. Fogg from Lakeland, Florida, he says they expect to leave this week for home in Timmins, but may be deâ€" layed in reaching here on account of snow in Pennsylvania. Mr. and Mrs. Fogg are motoring back. Mr. Fogg rephrts everything in Lakeâ€" land as good, considering everythingâ€" except his own golf, which he considers punk considering anything. Although the course is in exceptionally gcod shape he has not been able to beat 90, and he has done that on Timmins course at this time of year in prevlous seasons. In this letter Mr. Fogg says:â€"*"Am mailing you under separate cover the local paper so that you can check up on the doings and living costs in this district. We have been buying No. strawberries from ten to twenty cents per imperial quart up to this week when the price was boosted 25 cents. You will notice by the advts. that livâ€" ing costs are remarkably low." ‘The advertisements in the paper, "‘The Lakeland Evening Ledger," do seem to quote ptrices that appear low, especially for Florida as generally conâ€" sidered by outsiders. One advt. quotes pork chops at 9% cents per lb; stewing veal at 74 cents per lb.; sausage, 23%¢ per lb.; pork, chops or roast, l1i¢c per Ib.; stewing beef at 8¢ per lb.; bananas, 5lbs. for 15 cents; eggs, 21c per dozen fancy whole rice, 5 lbs. for 15¢c.; bacan, 154¢c per lb.; coffee, 29¢ per lb.; cheese, 19c per lb.; potatoes, 5lbs. for 7c¢.;Lux, 3 packages for 27¢; laundry soap, 10 cakes for 25¢; Borden‘s milk, 3 tall cans for 21¢c; tea, halfâ€"pound package, 19¢ Another advertisement quotes: â€" roast pork, 10c per lb.; picnic hams, each 49¢; breakfast bacon, 19c per lb.; matches, 3 boxes for 10¢c; brooms, 25¢ those lovely Jack Johnson‘s of his, but fond memories remain of the rest perâ€" iods in Ranchicort, Houdain, Bethune and Bruay. Mont St. Elio with its shellâ€"torn towers stands out vividly in one‘s memories when he thinks of those days. The capture of Vimy Ridge was entirely a Canadian victory and so it is the one day of the year which we as a body of returned soldiers, lucky enough to be alive, celebrate. The banquet this year will be held on Saturâ€" day, April Sth, in the Oddfellows‘ hall commencing at 7.30 pm. The event this year will be for returned soldiers only. Hoping to meet some more of the lucky ones, I remain, truly yours â€"W. A. PDPevine each; cocoa, 15 per lb. A third firm includes the following in their specials:â€"leg of lamb, 19¢; chickens, 97¢ each; potatoes, 10 lbs for 13¢; lettuce large head, ¢. Buiter is quoted at 2%¢ per Ib. in still another advt., with other bargains such as 3 lbs primes for 15¢; coffee, 261¢c per lb.; steak, 15c per lb; milk, tall can, 5. An odd thing about the issue of The Lakeland Ledger sent is that though there are no less than eleven advts. for food stores, each of them averaging over three columns, a total of 36 colâ€" umns, there are not three columns altogether of clothing and boot and shoe advts. in the whole issue. There are two small advts. about boots and shoes, and one equally small advt. aâ€" bout boys‘ wear and another advt. (aâ€" bout a column of space) for ladies spring coats. Evidently the food stores are keeping up a strong competition in prices, and the large amotnt of adâ€" vertising carried means big sales and consequently reduced prices. Evidentily in PFlorida, to judge by the Lakeland newspaper, food is much more imporâ€" tant than clothinx. So far as the adâ€" vits. are concerned, it would seem that no one in Florida wears any hats, nelâ€" ther man nor woman. Some of the articles in the issue reaching here may be of interest. For examNe, one front page articls in The Ledger tells of the plans made by the county board to run all schools seven months in the year, while where possible elementary schools will also opérate for another month. Where fiâ€" nances permit high schools are to opâ€" erate for eight or nine months. Lakeâ€" land district apparently has heard of the depression and also of the idea of economy. Of course, there is front page referâ€" ence to the kidnapping of Lindbergh‘s baby. The Lodger article is restrained and intelligent and troats the kidnapâ€" ping as if it were a serious crime, not something to give a basis for ballyh0o and tommyrot. The Ledger shows that there is some crime in Lakeland though chiefly liâ€" quor cases. The crime is neither hidâ€" den nor overâ€"stressed, but treated in sane way. "Clouds avert a killing frost in the Lakeland area," according to The Ledâ€" ger, which adds that the berry season is expected to continue three weeks longer. "No berries moved out of the Florida ‘belt yesterda@y, but three cars were expected to be shipped toâ€"night,‘ says The Ledger, adding that warm sunshine in the next few days will mean many extra thousands of dollars to growers." The Ledger‘s Washington corresponâ€" dent says that President Hoover‘s supâ€" porters are now more hopeful and that the Roosevelt forces no longer treat Alfalfa Bill Murray in light way. This is the sort of item to fyle away until after the event and then chock up. They have fires in Florida, the handâ€" some residence of Mrs. D. M. Pipkin, at Scott Lake, being burned down. with loss of â€"$10,000.00. And sports, they have a pageful! Also a pageful of society! As The Ledger gives a page to the churches and religion, they must have some of them also down in Florâ€" ida. This is something to ask Mr. Fogg on his return. The Lakeland Evening Ledger has a zood editorial column, though the subâ€" jects treated have not the same inâ€" terests in Timmins that they would have in Florida. One editorial note, nowever, is worth reproducing in full. It says:â€""Although the mercury went down rather low the past two nights, the sun was out both days and the air was bracing." That sort of thing could also ‘be truly said of this other winter resort, the North Land. As The Adâ€" vance has robinted out more than onceée, the chances are strong that the people of Florida will have to come to the North for the winter to escape the riâ€" gors of their own climate. As the temâ€" perature in the Lakeland area is reâ€" corded in The Ledger as being as low Barrie Examiner:â€"We wouldn‘t mind paying the $2.00 radio license if the government â€" would eliminate the crooners. as 40 degrees above, the force of this idea may not be apparent, but in other parts of Florida temperatures of from 2 to 20 below zero were recorded.

Jailed for Fraud on Relief in Kirkland Foreigner at Kirkland Lake Sent to Jail for Two Months for fraudw lently Obtaining Relief There. Among the mean and unsnortsman< like criminals set cown is the follow who steals from th» :0‘iof funds esâ€" tablished throughourt tae country to help the unfortunate. It makes little difference whether the theft is direct or through fraudulent schemes for obtainâ€" | ing relief. It is gratifying to believe that in Timmins there has been pracâ€" tically none of this sort of thing. Of course, there has been a number of atâ€" tempts, but the keenness of the auth= orities seems to have prevented any serious robbing of the relief fund. "Robbing the relief fund" is the right term for every man who takes relief that he is not entitled to is simply stealing so much from the poor unâ€" fortunates who actually need the reâ€" lief. In town here there were a couple of cases of men who seemed to have money to go to Toronto and elsewhere on foreign political business and yet asked relief from the town. Other cases of any attempt to the relief funds have been rare. The great majority of the people have playâ€" ed fairly in the matter and few, inâ€" deed, have applied for help without actually being in real need. Practically every resident of Timmins who has been asking for relief has been anxious to work and when men feel that way they usually are the kind that may be depended upon to play fairly. The transient, however, is a different proâ€" position. The transient has made a problem, or rather a series of problems, for every town in the North and the foreign transient is the most troubleâ€" some. Led on by agitators, many of whom are making an easy living out of the game, this transient seems to have the idea that someone else should provide him a good living and he does not care who it is, so long as he doesn‘t have to work to collect. He talks a lot about the capitalist fattenâ€" ing on the labour of the working man. but he himself is quite ready and anxâ€" ious to live in ease at the expense of the working man provided he can do this. At Kirkland Lake recently it was suspected that some of these foreign transients were doing some grafting at the expense of the relief fund there, by securing meals and other value to which they were not entitled. Accordâ€" ingly an investigation was conducted and as a result Frank Brindza was in police court charged with obtaining goods under false pretences. Another man named John Rachok was accused of stealing from one of the relief food depots. The latter man had been a general nuisance around the camp and he was ordered to keep the peace for a year. At Kirkland Lake a system has been in force in the municipality to give three days‘ work per week to married men with families, while to keep any single men from starving two camps are operating to give two meals per day. Brindza claimed to be a married man with three children and to be without funds to maintain them. He showed the relief officer where he lived (though it developed later he did not live in that particular place at all) and he explained that his wife and children were out at the time the offiâ€" cer called. The investigation also showed that this man had money of his own and that he had no one in this country dependent upon him, though he did have a wife in Poland. Counsel for the accused suggested that the man, perhaps, had made a mistake because of his lack of knowledge of the English language. Also he pointed out that all the accused had obtained was work for which he had given the municipality full value. Magistrate Atkinson said that he was not going to take too harsh a view of the case but that the muniâ€" cipalities were spending a lot of money to help married men by providing part time work and that the municipalities had to be protected. The accused was not entitled to the work, and as he had money he was not entitled to relief at all. He sentenced Brindza to two months in jail. It is to be hoped that the incident reâ€" ferred to above will warn other tranâ€" sients not to attempt to take advanâ€" tage of the relief plans The relief work is for those in actual need. At the Haileybury town csuncil last week a discount of seven per cent. on all payments of the current year‘s taxes up to and including May 15th, with no penalties added until the tax roll is closed at the end of the fiscal year, was decided on by the town counâ€" cil at its regular meeting on Tuesday night. The rate was not struck at that meeting, as the council was not satisâ€" fied with the estimates submitted by the public school board, and it was deâ€" cided to postpone the passing of the necessary byâ€"law and arrange for a DISCOUNT AT HAILEYBURY ON PREâ€"PAYING OF TAXES Tuesday, March 29th, 1932 Auspices of the L.O.L. and the L.O.B.A In the Oddfellows‘ Hall, Timmins from 5 to 8 p.m. ADMISSION 50¢ Including Tax EVERYBODYX WELCOME meeting with the board on Wednesday night to go further into the question. In the discussion it was held that the new plan would encourage the thrifty ones to make prom;X payment of taxes early in the year and it was stated that the penalties formerly imposed were difficult to collect in some cases ar«t that a 10 per cent. penalty was pro« vided by law to be added when the ar« rears are carried forward.
