It has been proven, however, that this has only been proâ€" paganda to hide the real motives of those circulating the stories. When the King bestows the O.B.E. upon the Canadian Legicn‘s Dominion secréetary for his devotion to duty, also to Capt. Baker, of the Canadian Institute for the Blind, for the same reason it shows that those at the head of affairs have your interest at heart. The same thing applies to those in office of the locai branch. All of the men elected to an office have the interests of their fellow comrades at heart. We find the nresiâ€" dent doing great work among the disâ€" tressed ‘exâ€"servicemen, interviewing wives and dependents, giving advice and assistance when necessary. Hunâ€" dreds of letters have been written in regard to various cases, and the number of men who have secured employment through the interest of Austin Neame also reach a very high figure. Theo members of the branch would receive quite a shcck if all this work was tabâ€" ulated and read at a meeting. Both vice â€"presidents are always on the lookâ€" out for cases which might come under Legion jurisdiction and bsth have been the means of helping many along. The rest of the executive committee, have given hours of time to Legion work. Through their efforts the branch has become one of the main bodies cf the ## * # #* * # #4 *# 4 :oo:oo #* *# # *4 *# # #4 * 4 #* 4 *# #4 *# # #* *# # ## # # #* * # #* .. + *..* 00‘ #4 # #4 #, 0..0 # # leate ds *# # #* # # #* # *# # * w# # #4#4 ## ®@ #4 #4 #4 ## #4 ## #* ## *# # _ The Canadian Legion in the Porcupine PAGE EIGHT MIDNIGHT sHOW EVERY FRIDAY AT 1130 P.M.

It has been said that some never served in France, but that thought is counteractâ€" ed by the fact that at least two of the officers are at present drawing penâ€" sons for disabilities received on serâ€" vice in France. Then again it should be remembered that even in the army days, if a man showed he could be betâ€" ter fitted for his country‘s need by staying at home or in England at some special duty, then he is as much a solâ€" dier as the one who went across the channel as cannon fodder, for after all that‘s all it amsunted to. If he came back he was lucky. So it is with every branch of the Legion. There are some who have that happy faculty of knowâ€" ing how to handle a gathering of men, and therefore their position should be such as to put that faculty to work. It wsuld be a very hard job to find a branch whose full quota of officers all served in France. It would also be a hard j:b to find another set of officers like those who are at the head of the Timmins branch of the Legion, who have done as much for the interests of its member and local exâ€"servicemen in general "Put the clamp on these petty assertions and ‘pull with the other fellow" is sound advice at all times.

It has been given the title "Lest We Forget." Those who witnessed the showing say that it is so realistic that one thinks he‘s back amongst it all again. The British government have also assisted in the building of the film by donating several hundred feet of actual batt‘le scenes. It has no story, but shows the Canadians in action, at rest, in trainâ€" ing, enroute to the front, in billets, the various concert parties, showing the lighter side of war; in fact a complete photographic history of those days when the Dominion‘s manhood was across the seas. Picture is to be shown under Legion auspices everywhere but the local theatre owners will be able to bock the feature if desired by the local Legion branch. It would be a good idea to secure this big feature for an early showing in Timmins. The Legion relief fund needs boosting so here‘s a way to help it along and give a special value in return for your patâ€" ronage. > HMere‘s a Few! One of my regular column readers suggested that the parody as published last week was a good innavation to the column. "Why don‘t you put in a few good army jokes once in a while!" As my dear friend knows some of the popular ones have been told and retold until they are going grey like the men who first told them. However to please my friends and th:se who delight in reading the column weekly, here are a few: In the American advance during the final days of the war, a sergeant orâ€" dered an unbleached private to go into a dugout and clean out any Germans that happened to be there. "she was only a dressmaker‘s daughâ€" ter, but she wasn‘t all she seamed." "She was only A watchmaker‘s daughter, but she gave me a wonderful time." The coloured gentleman blanched a bit, swallswed his Adam‘s apple, and then said huskily: One day, during the War, the parish priest came across an old Irish woman in a state of distress and an inquiry brought the reply that she had lost her boy. Had she had a telegram from the War Office? "No, but I‘ve got this," she repliea, handing a postcard to the priest, who read: "Dear mother, I am in the Holy Land." "She was a miller‘s daughter, and lived beside the mill. Still and deep ran the water, but she was deeper still" The old song has given rise to a tremendous family of daughters, such "Sshe was only a compositor‘s daughâ€" ter, but she knew her P‘s and Q‘s." For several hours the sergeantâ€"major had been lecturing his men on the duâ€" ties of a soldier to his country. He fixed on Private Jones and barked out: "And why should a soldier be exâ€" pected to die for his ccuntry?" The man paused. Then a smile broks over his face. "Yes, sir," he said, “‘you're quite right. Why should he?" « a cfi Memphis Commercialâ€"Appeal:â€"A St. Louis lady shot herself just after she turned on the radio.

No changes ! are contemplated at this time." Will Defer Changes â€" on Railway Board There has been considerable discusâ€" sion of changes on the T. N. 0. Railâ€" way Commission,. Some have taken it for granted that Armand Racine, K.C., will retire at an early date and also that Col. Mac Lang will resign to conâ€" test the federal election in Temiskaâ€" ming riding. On the other hand there are many in the North who hope that Col, Lang will not resign at all but that he will continue to carry on the good work on the commission. Howâ€" ever, there is such a general belief that changes are imminent that several names have been recommended to the govérnment for appointment to the commission. In the last twoa issues of The Advance reference has been made to such cases. One of those recomâ€" mended for the T. N. 0. Commission is Walter Little, of Kirkland Lake, and ancther is Dan Johnson of Matheâ€" son. Both are good men, well versed in the affairs of the North, and if any Premier Hepburn Says that Present _ Commissioners will Carry on for Next Few Months. changes are contemplated it is to be hoped that these names will be conâ€" sidered. Treasury is Ready to Back the Dollar So wide has been the effect of the expected decisicn in what is known as the gold clause case before the United States Supreme Court that there is very general interest in the matter even in the North Land, or, it might be said. especially in the North Land. The question is before the U.S. Supreme Court to decide whether the governâ€" ment can the clauses in cerâ€" tain contracts specifically requiring payment in gold. It is held that these contracts require payment at the apâ€" proximate rate of $1.60 per $1.00 in view of the fact that actual gold payâ€" ment can not be made under the law as put into force by President Rooseâ€" velt. One of the questions constantly askâ€" ed is what will be the situation if the Ssupreme Court decision favours those asking the upholding of their reading of the contracts. Answer to this is given in a despatch this week From Washington, D.C. This despatch reads as follows:â€" "The United States Treasury Departâ€" ment at Washington on Monday evenâ€" imng told a nervous business world that â€"regardless of the Supreme Court‘s gold decisionâ€"it need not worry about what happens to the,. United States dolâ€" lar abroad.
