Review of 1934 With the passing of another year in Legion history, 1934 will perhaps mark the biggest and best. From the very first meeting in January, 1934, all ‘hclights were (turned b> Ihaving a building of our own before the year closed. Committses were formed, but nothing could be planned to suit the majority. With the change of officers in April, President Austin Neame made the statement at the Vimy Banquet that his one objective would be to have the branch in its own quarters before his term ended. He has fulfilled his claim, but more of that a Mttle later! The Vimy banquet was the biggest and best ever held, and carried through in splendid style. The Spring stagette and draw for the purpose cf helping relief work, was outstanding, and: for this all credit is extended to Secretary W. D. Forrester. Bill can work wonâ€" ders ~with ‘Agures and his scheme on that occasion‘ worked to the extent of over a $1,000 profit which was just what the relief fund needed at that. time. Conklin‘s Shows was the next. big event. This carnival aggregation pleased large crowds and in addition gave employment to approximately 16 unemployed returned soldiers, these being paid by the local branch ‘of the Legion. Theâ€"summer season then was uponâ€" us and all here were busy talking Corps reunion. A very large delegation from the camp took in this historical event.: Our president was not resting! In company with Comrades Geo. Drew, Burt and Jamieson, he began to see way whereby the branch could secure quarters. These four then became the building committee, and after many long weeks of negotiations with the mines, Austin Neame announced that the building was on its way. A lot was bought on Cedar street south. The mines generously gave a very substanâ€" tial grant and loaned the balance to erect the clubhouse. The official openâ€" ing was planned for Armistice Day. Would it be completed was the next big worry. It . was! The civic parate on Armistice Day was one the outstanding events of the year, and a great achieveâ€" ment for those concerned in its plannâ€" ing. Capt. Jules Ferry, provincial presâ€" ident opened the hall. Since then the membership has increased by leaps and: bounds, till at the end of the year we find the branch the strongest in Onâ€" tario. The clubrooms in the new buildâ€" ing are equal to those of gentlemans home and the members are taking full advantage of them. In relief work much has been done. Several families in the outlying district have been well cared for. Those in town have a.lsoT been helped to a certain degree, and at Christmas the Legion looked aftcl‘ A Christmas Card?

Mining: of the ore is from open pit operations. The mill can easily handle 600 tons daily.

It seems raâ€" ther a pity to us that the mining inâ€" dustry has been overlooked. This inâ€" dustry toâ€"day vies with agriculture in being the most important single indusâ€" try in the Dominion. It has done perâ€" haps more than any Other to uphold the national credit throughout four years of world depression. Good minâ€" ing alone has proved a powerful facâ€" tor in enabling the National Treasury to meet the nation‘s heavy abligations in capital and interest falling due abroad. It has furnished the basis upâ€" on which the stability of Canada‘s curâ€" rency is founded. To such an extent has it done this that our dollar for some time past has stcod at a premium over the United States dollar. In adâ€" dition to all this the mining industry has provided a vast deal of direct emâ€" ployment in a time of unemployment. As a tremendous consumer of agriâ€" cultural and manufactured products it has stimulated employment indirectly in a long chain.of other industries."

At the close of each year the insurance in force has exceeded that of the preceding year. ..
