In connection with this bureau it is recommended that it be under the control of a separate Comâ€" mission, the personnel of which would Election Gossipâ€"(Continued) Every time one appears at any Legion event :n Timmins these day there is sure to be something pop up about the forthcoming election. By all outward appearances it is going to be the bigâ€" gest poll yet and so as to give everyone a fair show for their money, the execuâ€" tive committee has made some very accommodating changes in the byâ€"laws as set out those worthy artists, the byâ€"law co tee. At a recent meetâ€" ing one member wanted to have these rules and regulations cancelled, but the "parliamentary procedure" guys got up in arms and said that was imposâ€" sible Now, we come to the funny part: The executive committee has ruled "that a man is entitled to vote whose dues are paid up until September of last year." There was no notice of motion, no parliamentary procedurc, etc., and the elaborate work prepared iby those of the byâ€"law committee, was all for nothingâ€"not even the good of lthe Legion or branch. For the inforâ€" mation of all, the ruling as set forth in these byâ€"laws reads:;â€""No member shall be entitled to vote unless his }dues be paid to the end of the fiscal up. Even if he did refuse treatment, other words could have been used, such points of most interest are herewith published for your benefit:â€" The veterans urged that complete coâ€"operation should be ma‘intained among the personnel employed for the is very obvious that a man who keeps his dues paid up to date, is the one whose interest is maintained, and those who are behind are the ones who are lax in their interest. It has been stated on many public.platforms in reâ€" cent weeks that the country is looking to the Canadian Legion to fight the epression and as done in 1914â€"1918 how the leadership which was characâ€" teristic of those years. How can this be done when the members themselves are behind in their interest?â€"in their dues?* Quite a big proportion of the fees taken locally are sent to headâ€" quarters to help in the splendid wark that is being tuone for the exâ€"serviceâ€" men in generalâ€"not Legion members only. Again how can this work be carâ€" ried along, if this money is not forthâ€" coming? And in the recent motion the lexecut'.iVe committee are encouraging this situation. The writer has no fault to find with any member of that body, ‘but does consider that for the welfare iof the branch and the Legion in genâ€" leral that the duly approved set of byâ€" laws as drawn up by the byâ€"law comâ€" m}tg should stand as adopted in reâ€" to a member‘s right to the vote. You are assured that those who can vote have at least the welfare of the branch at heart and that their interest is being maintained. "Swinging the Lead" The above is not a pensionable disaâ€" This has been given several difâ€" ferent names by the learned scholars of anatomy and chemistry. Very recent enquiries into the treatment of Comâ€" rade Hussin of Dugwal,â€"Northern Onâ€" tario, who has been classed with the following disabilities, blood poisoning, the result of inoculation at Valcartier Camp, paralysis of the left side and arm, hysterical paralysis, and last but not leastâ€"Malingeringâ€""Swinging the lead," as we soldiers use to term itâ€" reveals that state of affairs. This comâ€" rade by order of the Pension Board went to Christie street for treatment with the understanding that if his disability did not react to treatment, he would beâ€" come a pensionable case. After underâ€" going several weeks of electricâ€"jolting around the room the arm in nc way getâ€" ting any better. Comrade Hussin reâ€" fused to take any more and asked for his discharge from that institution. This was given: and since then he has received the communication that he has.not got "hysterical paralysis," but a most unusual disease "malingering," and this ‘is not pensionable. ‘ Meanâ€" while arm still shakes as it has done for the past 14 years. The man can only do very light labour and has been doing so all that time to get a living. All who know Joseph Hussin in this district will say he is the last one who could be accused of "swinging the lead," and that slur unon him should be taken back. No man who donned the King‘s uniform with the idea of fighting for his country can be termed a "Malingerer." It is a strong case for the Canadian Legion to take as "refused medica.l a.id” and express.ions tc prevent <pension payâ€" ntent. The case is one that needs the attention of the authorities once again. But as a gentle reminder to those who are seeking a pension, kindly remember that "swinging the lead" is not penâ€" sionable. You must have the holes, punctures, protrusions, the missing parts whether they shake or not and all the authentic documents before you have a chance at all. Hurry up Pension Committee and get your recommendaâ€" tions through the House! Some Items from Ross Report surely it may claimed that those who are eventually elected will be put into office by those who have not the welâ€" fare of the branch at heart. If they did have they would have seen that their dues were not allowed to fall behind to such an extent as six months. To anyone who thinks over the question it year‘â€"which is March 30th, 1933.

An "inspector" should be appointed to exercis> supervision over the work and preparation of cases in the disâ€" trict offices of the bursau, while the name should be changed to "the Penâ€" sion Adjustment Services of Canada." The veterans empohasized amailgaâ€" mation between the Board of Pension Commissioners and the Pens.ion Triâ€" bunal. "I must strongly stress that, in order to secure public confidence in the new administration, thers must be no sugâ€" gestion that either the Board of Penâ€" sion Commissioners or the Pension Triâ€" bunal is being abolished." writes Genâ€" eral Ross. He adds that if any imâ€" pression was created that the tribunal system was being done away with "the resentment would ‘be so strong that it would be impossible for t,{\e new machâ€" inery to function satisfactorily." Huntingdon Gleaner:â€"June Goldâ€" smith, 5 years old, has been freed from "pains in the back" suffered for three years, due to a carpet tack in her lung. June had the whooping cough several vyears ago, but she continued to cough long after the malady should have disâ€" appeared. An Xâ€"ray showed a foreign substance.. An cperation was perâ€" formed in a New York hospital and the tack was removed. "To my mind," the veterans‘ spokesâ€" man says, "the publicat.on of a stateâ€" ment that the tribunals are abolished would create a public situation with regard to the pension administration such as had not existed since the days of the Ralston Commission." Unprepared claims should be referred to the Veterans‘ Burcau for prepara«â€" tion, and a sympathetic letter should go to the applicant stating that his application, in its present state of preâ€" paration, should not be conceded, but that the Government had provided the facilities of the Veterans‘ Bureau for that purpose. The letter should inform the applicant that the bureau was willâ€" ing to coâ€"operate with him in securing the necessary evidence. Financial Post:â€"The farmer‘s wages today do not exceed ten cents an hour and few get that.

Steven‘s Amusement Parlours Phone 280 Timmins, Ontario ‘ When a claim was not granted, the applicant shoulg be given full reasons. He should be told he has a right to have his claim referred to the Veterans‘ Bureau for preparation, or to a field quorum of the board for hearing. A period of ninety days should be aliowâ€" ed in which the claimant should elect to accept either alternative. Trial procedure should be simplified, the veterans urge, and field courts should give out only adverse decisions, In making additions to the staff of the Chief Pension Advocate qualified barristers should be given the appointâ€" ments. With regard to the matter of deterâ€" mining the right of appeal by the Crown, this should be vested in a deâ€" partmental officer possessing adequate qualifications. As to the "benefit of the doubt," the veterans feel that this should stress the nature of service performed by an apâ€" plicant, since it followed that in some branches men endured more hardship than in others. so as not to raise false hopes among the applicants. The veterans are in favour of retainâ€" ing the Pensicn Appeal Court, the Chairman of which should have the authority to coâ€"ont a Judge in order to makeâ€"a second quorum of two. â€"the most popular of all indoor sports bowling PBowling is not a fad. 3 4 § 8’ eir 9 Intereste eifare â€"W. â€"A. Devine \Danger Threatens ‘ â€" to the Wild Geese shallow arms of the sea in North America from North Carolina to Greenâ€" land and forms the chief source of food supply in the winter munths for Canada geese, thousands of these birds have died owing to shortage of food. The Canadian Government Supervisor of Wild Life Protection in a recent address stated in part: "On the southwestern coast of Nova Scotia, Canada geese winter in great flocks, numbering thousands. They are there because their chief winter food is esiâ€"grass. Apparently they have always winteredl thers, for there are stories of arrowâ€"heads, relics of NDisease Attacking Eelâ€"Grass Said to be Causing the Death of Large Numâ€" bers of Wild Geese. Hunters Asked to Note. Due to a dissase that has for the past few years attacked eelâ€"grass, a flowerâ€" ing plant that grows in estuaries and gocose hunters of other days, beird; picked up near one spot where the birds come to some springs for fresh water. The wintering harbors are provincial sanctuaries. By the middle of Januâ€" ary, 1932, these wintering flocks had dispersed, a thing which had not hapâ€" pened before in the memory of man. Undcubtedly the eelâ€"grass disaster was fast becoming a Canada goose disasâ€" ter. â€" In February the birds were starvyâ€" ing, for some that fell into the hands of officers of the Canadian Government Department of Interior weighed only four to four f@nd oneâ€"half pounds, whereas they shculd have weighed eight pounds or more. That Russian meteorologist apparâ€" ently would be a good man to describe the desperate evils of the capitalistic system and the wonderful beauties and glories of communism. Oh, yeah! Hamilion Herald:â€"Well there‘s one hopeful thing about the depression anyway. As long as the economists try to cure it the patient must: mll be alive. "Twsc years or more ago this marine plant began to die off on the Atlantic Coast from Virginia to New Jersey. It was suffering from some insidious fatal attack that was wiping it from existence for hundreds of miles of sea coast, and which had spread northward quietly and efficiently. "From a bird protection standpoint this failure of eelâ€"grass is almost a major disaster. The Canada geese and Brant of eastern North America, which depend upon this plant for food, and which winter on the Atlantic coast, will find conditions very serious this winter. The great flocks of Canada geese which normally winter on the south ccast of Nova Scotia are believed to be scattered. _ Farther south the Canada geese have a better chance to turn to other food.. The Brant is faced with a more serious condition still, for it feeds in winter almost entirely on eelâ€"grass."‘ "You take a glass of water and dash it high into the air, and the liquid will come down in the form ¢f ringing crystals of ice. Spittle will freeze beâ€" fore reaching the ground. All live things seek deep shelter during the winter. Partridges dig themselves far into the snow and stay there. There have been cases of their falling like stones while in flight, freezing to death in the air. Marmots hide in underâ€" ground holes where they hibernate asâ€" suming the shape of a little clayâ€"like ball. . The ice becomes so hard that the axe rebounds from it. Live wosd beâ€" comes petrified, andâ€"when one chops at it sparks fly as if from flint. In the spring I amused myself by extracting, with the aidtof an axe and a crowbar, marmots that looked dead and were as hard as stone, so that they could be split in two. I would leave them for several hours in the unheated hallâ€" way of my house. Gradually they would come to life and begin to run It is known that as a result of the shortage of eelâ€"grass very many Canâ€" ada geese and Brant have died. Huntâ€" ers are consequently asked to ‘be conâ€" siderate of the Canada geese and Brant if these birds are to survive. This Sounds Very Much Like Other Russian Tales and a thud. The noise of the frozen word striking that platform did sound a lot like "balt." And so the scientists decided to call the station Coâ€"balt." It seems that they have the same sort of weather in Russia, or, perhaps, the meteorologists in that land have attributes similar to the old prospectoor mentioned above. In any event there has been going the rounds oof the press recently a supposed description by a Russian meteorologist oof the climate in Siberia, Russia. This Russian meteâ€" orologist says:â€" There used to be a group of oldâ€" timers in the North who delighted to get hold of some clever young newWsâ€" paperman, or still more gladly meet and chat with a budding _ young journalâ€" ist, and tell him curdling tales of the North. Once, an oldâ€"time prospector was overheard telling one of these visiâ€" tors about how ‘Cobalt receivekl its name. "It was a very cold winter, even for the North," said the solemn old prospector, ‘"and the cold was nearly unbearable even for us oidâ€"timerrs. The fires seemed to freeze upâ€"in the houses and we cften had to go outside and run up and down to keep warm. Usually we wound up at the Cobalt station, then called Long Lake. Some of those scientific gents from the Mines Dept. were there and were amusing themselves with watching words freeze as they emerged from the mouth and drop on the station platform. The word inevitably used in suCch weather was "Cold!" It was clipped off by the intense cold and hit with the platform with a peculiar noise between a bang ow P O OR Te n Oe ECE The young visitor seemed impressed, but this explanation never got into the newspapers. "The jipsaw puzzle craze has reached Kirkland Lakeâ€"or rather, it should ‘be said; has inundated townsfolk here. Nearly everybody‘s doing it. Like many another pastime < born out of the worldâ€"wide depression, it had its oriâ€" gin in the United States, where millions of people, as The Mail and Empire reâ€" marks ironically, "have their personal affairs in such good shape that they can afford to dissipate their ingenuity on artificial problems." Jigsaw puzâ€" zles are paradoxical in scope. They look easy to solve. Some of them are easyâ€"but others are difficult. The Roving Reporter heard of a case this week, right here in Kirkland Lake, where a fellowâ€"citizen of his sat up unâ€" til 4 o‘clock in the morning trying to work out one of the darn things. Finâ€" ally he gave up. But before he went to bed, and to sleep, he tossed the pieces into the stove. Or ‘maybe he tore them up. Anyway, this goes to show you that you shauldn‘t. take a jigsaw puzzle too seriously. Don‘t place too literal interpretation on the old adage: "If you don‘t at first succeed, try, try again!" Otherwise you might go balmy. Take the case of Henry Palmer, of Flint, Mich., for instance. Palmer sat up until 5 o‘clock in the morning trying to solve one of these puzzles, and then he went into his bedrosom and killed himself, according to a news despatch. But that was going to the extrems. The jigsaw puzâ€" zsle pastime has its results if it doesn‘t become a mania. It afâ€" fords a certain amount of mental reâ€" laxation from care and trouble. Meanâ€" the drug stores, where jigsaw puzzles are sold, bigger and better puzzles are being placed on sale, and sales are good, the clerks say. : BUILDERS‘ SUPPLIES *o" _ KAÂ¥ 0..0..0..0,"0. o_ _0 _0 .0 _ SH 5 0, ,0,,0, ,0, .0 0. ,0, 0. .0, .o e .€, %’oéo?o‘o‘o’o‘o‘o‘o‘o‘oooo0000000000000000000000000003000000000000"3?00000000000000 “000 00003000000000?000000000030000000. e N N NVA NV LNA L L L n L N n L xt P C ol C L C 4o v000000000000000000‘000z.0’0300000.00.00’0‘00'0’00..0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000“ HILLâ€"CLARKâ€"FRANGIS LTD.
