Convenient G M A C Terms means of joining the Legion here. Those who were once members ‘and through various causes allowed their membership to cease are asking the procedure of regaining their memâ€" bership. For their special benefit the following information is gladly given: _"In the first place application must be made for reâ€"instatement, and along with the application the sum of two dollars, reâ€"instatement fee, and one dollar dues for the current quarter. That‘s all, as far as the exâ€"member is concerned. The reâ€"instatement appliâ€" c~ation is then voted upon at a general meeting of the branch and if favourâ€" able the applicant is notified to that cffect and again takes his place in the rank and file of the Legion members." The suggestion has been put forward that the current year‘s dues should be' pald in full but that is left to the member applying to rejoin. There is also a large list of new members enâ€" rolling at the present time. Keep up the good work! Why all the sudden rush to join a veteran organization? Is it because the veterans feel that by having a solid stand they will again be able to win out and abolish any thought of a pension cut forever? Or is it beâ€" cause at last they realize that the Canadian Legion is one organization that has accomplished something which By One Interested in their Welfare Hike a record; and when one considers M efficiency of presentâ€"day milling Commenting on Thursday of last week on the meeting of the Dome Mines the day before. The Toronto Mail and Empire says:â€""While Canadian gold enthusiasm raced‘ on, the bright spot in the gold background was the Dome annual meeting. The management reported the finding of a new mine. The new mine, it appears, comes to a top some 2,300 feet under the surface, and if a substantial array of drill core assays tells the story, then Dome not cnly has the makings of a new mine, but it has located new ore of a conâ€" siderably higher grade than went through the mill last year. The report threw in some added romance by cating that the new mine, some dis-! tance from the old, did not even reach the surface of the rock; and that doubtless will be a decided spur to other mining organizations which are using the diamond drill in the hops ot rounding Out a fortune. Dome reâ€" sponded by increasing the dividend bonâ€" us to 25 cents. That made a 50â€"cent de-l claration for the quarter. The stock market responded both locally and in New York by rushing up the issue. Gain on the Standard was a full point to 24i, with 83,100 shares turning over. The Dome report also indicated the importance of efficient milling practices in making a mine. The company has been working steadily towards a high percentage of recovery; but last year tailings loss amounted to 38.99 cents a ton. That has been improved this year. as the May‘s tailings loss to date has been cut to 11.9 cents a ton. That lo>ks _A date to rememberâ€"The last genâ€" eral meeting for the season will be held on Monday, June 19th. Don‘t forget. It will be your last chance to pay your dues.

Mortimer, sent along his year‘s dues and greetings to the old friends here. Then there are others residing in the British Isles and other parts. All take a keen interest in the work of the branch and often the writer of this column is asked to send along a paper. This has been done with the best of good wishes. This week a parcel of newspapers; telling "Bill" all the latest happenings in Leâ€" gion circles has been forwarded, so we keep those "hands across the seas‘" in a strong clasp. Pension Commissioners have power to reâ€"open all cases disposed of by the old Federal Appeal Board, the former Tribunal or Pensions Appeal Court, and ;if fraud, misrepresentaton, concealment of relevant facts or error are estabâ€" lished, the case is to be referred to the Commission for reâ€"adjudication. "Hands Across the Seas" Some pceople are of the opinion that the members of the Timmins branch of the Canadian Legion are all living in the immediate district.

Pension Act Amendments The bill which amends the Pension Act and which has been referred to a special committee of the House of Comâ€" mons makes some radical changes in the administrative machinery of the act. First, and least acceptable of these is that it abolishes the Pension Tribunal and increases the Board of Pensions Commissioners from four (inâ€" cluding the Chief Medical Advisor) to eight. The functions formerly carried out by the Pension Tribunal are vested in the enlarged commission. ' A brief synopsis of the amendments are as follows. ' Pensions Appeal Court retained. ‘ Pensions Advocates to be barristers. Travelling Inspector to supervise opâ€" erations of the Veterans Bureau.
