He did not know he was carrying the bullet and the doctors also seemed to have missed it. The case of this man | first came to the attention uf the Leâ€" gion here early last year, when it was found that constant illâ€"health forced him from many a promising position. W. A. Devine, the pension officer for. Timmins branch, took up his illnesses with the Pension authorities with the result that Mr. Edwards woent to Chrisâ€" tie street hospital for treatment and operation. He returned around May in much better health and secured a jJob as teamster. A pension was also granted for slight chest disability, But teaming seemed too arduous a task and a severe attack of bronchitis set Once again permission was granted for admission to the hospital and after rercovery, _ anâ€" extensive observation was given to seek the cause of this man‘s condition. Previous to the New Year this was found @nd the result was the removal this week of the bullet. Edwards says "I‘ve had it so long now, | I‘m kseping it as the best of war souâ€" | venirs." Once again the work of the Canaâ€" dian Legion is demonstrated in no unâ€" certain way, and the time taken by the pension officer of the Timmins branch proves that "Service" is still the slogan. Col.
