WWMM“W.W“ "Our Glorious Dead" Mention has been made in this feaâ€" ture of The Advance of the grave reâ€" novation scheme being carried on by the T.mmins branch of the Canadian Legion. Two weeks ago the work was commenced and four unemployed memâ€" bers put to work under the supervision lune. Comrade Austin Neame in reâ€" porting the progress of this week made a statement which should have the immed:ate attention of the town authâ€" orities. This was to the effect that no cemetery register had been kept. The men had experienced great difficulty in locating the graves of returned soldiers ard in some cases only the bare reâ€" mains of an old poppy wreath told the sad story. «6. T. Walker, the local unâ€" dertaker had been appealed to and had given all the assistance he possibly could in locating graves. In a checkâ€"up about twelve graves had been located and cleaned up. Had there been a register of some kind kept there is no doubt that several more would have been discovered. One comrade exâ€" presesd himsel{ strongly upon the matâ€" ter and said in no uncertain way that it was a case of forgetting the sacrifices made. Another voiced the opinion that the Timmins cemetery was the only The Canadian Leg on in the Porcupine (*LE"= Ontario G. (Clif!)

A Special Treat ~The members of Timmins branch of thé Cmawm Legion closed the door of ‘thelr meetmg ‘place last Monday for the summer seagon. However, when necesâ€" sity : compels the Legion must act. There is a very special treat in store for the members on Monday, July 10th, when Comrade Kerry, president of the Ontario . Provincial Command, pays his official visit. He will be accompanied by the Northern Ontario adjustment omcer, Comrade H. Wyse, who needs no introduction. ‘It is the intention to make thisâ€" extra special meeting a big one. Watch this column for future notice but plan to have Monday, July IOth. vacant and booked for the Legion NURSE LEAVING COBALT AFTER FOUR YEARS‘ SERVICE tm had.to pe cleaned up and Comâ€" rade wJamesâ€"Cowanâ€"placed six of these ‘men at work om this job. This gave themâ€"another help and taking everyâ€" thing all round the Carnival proved a blessing .to these unfortunates. An interesting sidelight to this is given: Twoof the men who were on duty durâ€" ing the. week had been recelvlng pay for their work at the cemetery and when Ooffered the cheque for their carniâ€" val work, refused to accept same. Such is the spirit of the returned soldier. It can be seen by the above that those in office and the members of the Legion who are in steady work are ever ready t.o g'lve helping hand to deserving caaes : Wherever help is needed for any . extra work these unemployed men a,re put to the task and recompensed in 2.aceordance with the work accomâ€" plfshed It is in that way that true co;nradeship is shown. It is indeed gratifying for the citizens to know that wt;en they support. a Legion event, the t is _2 10 o P ELCE 1 ui _ N e lc o. _ found: that a nice balance had been made and; it was decided then to pay those out:of work a little for their serâ€" vices, This has been done and the citizens will have the feeling that by their support they were to a certain exâ€" tent responsible for these families getâ€" ting a lift. is not all; because the .+ While all the folks who attended the recent carnival were having a great timeâ€"and .enjoying the fun of the fair, the Legion officers were thinking of a different side, the side of those in disâ€" tress, : As will be recalled the Legion here: provided the ticket takers on the various â€"rides, etc. . The majority of theseâ€"men were unemployed and had beenâ€"for a considerable time on relief. At â€" the close of theâ€"carnival it was with other plants and the whole grave built upwith suitable wood or stones. At the head of each grave is a Flanders Cross, with name, number and service record inscribed. Those already comâ€" pleted present a very pleasing picture and have already received the praise of a large part of the community. At the close of his report on Monday last Comâ€" rade Austin Neame asked that the Leâ€" glon ‘go on record as asking the town council for a plot of land at the cemeâ€" tery, this is given the Legion here intend to haveâ€"this plot laid out in good style. the whole plot being surmounted by a flagâ€"pole and the graves all kept in uniform style.> It is by this recent eaction that the members of the Legion in the Porcupine are showing that tiey at least are not forgetting "Our Glorâ€" ~Dead." The scheme is being exâ€" tended to take in the Tisdale cemetery on the :Bouth Porcupine road but at this plaoe those doing the work will have no difficulty in finding the graves of departed confrades as these are all regâ€" istered ‘and numbered. It is to be. hoped that the town council will take fiotice of this condition and the Legion will accéept the plot of land with their deepest. gratitude and say that when tompleted the plot will be a pride to the whole: community. The graves are then squared off and a patihway made around each.
