(A bothersome left kept tapping at Lando‘s head, piling up point after point for the champ. Bland showed his superiorâ€" ity from the start and in the fifth he almost knocked out Lanrndo with a smashing right that Lando stoppea with his ear. Lando got up again and walked right into another barrage that had him in a bad fix as the round ended and gave him ‘time to pull himâ€" self together.

The clerk then exâ€" plained how the ballot boxes were made up and how all ballots used in an elecâ€" tion were carefully guarded and after the time prescribed by law were duly burned. He said the ballots were lockâ€" ed up in the vault and only accessible to himself. He perscnally saw to the burning of the ballots before witnesses.

Twice he had brought back the ballots and locked them away because the incinerator was not in shape for the burning. . Mr. Stuart said he was not accusing the council nor even the clerk, but there was some crookedness somewhere. Councillor Parsons and the ratepayer had a runâ€"in over the matter, the counâ€" cillor objecting to wild statements made by Mr. Stuart at a meeting of the ratepayers‘ association. Mr. Wallingâ€" ford, president of the ratepayers‘ assoâ€" clation, had expressed himself as fully catisfied with the explanation in regard to the thres ballots. Mr. Stuart said he was not bound by the opinion of any other man. the election he had given a couple of thes2 pads to one of the school teachâ€" ers who wantedl to show her class how voting was carried on.

He did not consider these as ballots in the legal sense and he had legal opinion to this effect. These surâ€" plus ballots were used as scratch pads after the election. A few days after the election he had given a couple of OV M T so. Mayor Drew said that after the elecâ€" tion each year surplus ballots (that is, those not given out to the deputy reâ€" turning officers) were used as scribbling pads. Anybody could get them.

The importance of the meeting on Sunday, and the vital necessity for the success of the special Legion campaign may also be summarized from a baraâ€" graph in a recent letter from W. H. Scarth, secretary of the Ontario Comâ€" mand, to all branches. This paragraph says:â€"‘"‘NMever in the history of cxâ€" servicemen s have we faced such a crisis as we are doing at the present time =und unless we receive may also graph in Scarth, mand, to The recent appointments to the reâ€" organized Canadian Pension Board, have produced a widespread storm of protest, not only from Provincial Comâ€" mands and from branches, but from individual members of the Legion and other exâ€"soldiers, and action on the part of Dominicn Headquarters has been urgently demanded. There is a plain intimation that the Government still has in mind some scheme for reduction of pension beneâ€" fits. In view of the undoubted fact hat the exâ€"soldiers are facing a crisis, it is absolutely essential that the Canâ€" adian Legion, as a whole, should state its policy, and give to its leaders a mandate as to the course to be pursued.
