Services, Incorporated, to which the Directorate of Auxiliary Services of the Canadian Active Service Force has enâ€" trusted certain important duties. These duties are provision of (a) educational facilities (b) personal service bureaux (c) entertainment (d) subsidiary serâ€" By means of their great exâ€"service men‘s organization, the Canadian Leâ€" gion, they have, accordingly, volunteerâ€" ed to coâ€"cperate amactively with tne authorities in providing essential serâ€" vices for. all branches of the forcesâ€" navy, army and airâ€"not only in Canâ€" ada but in England, France and, in fact, wherever the fortunes of war may take them. For this purpote they have creeted a special ronâ€"profit making body knecwn as the Canadian Legion War The Old Soldiers‘ Duty Old soldiers, more than anyone else, realize this from experience and it is logical that old soldiers themselvesâ€" those no longer suitable for active serâ€" vice because of age or physical «disâ€" abilitiesâ€"should feel it their duty as well as their indisputable right to provide for the wellâ€"being of those who have accepted the new challenge. They have entered this war because they are gocd citizens. They have left farms and cities, schools, jobs, homes and security, and they have denied themselvesâ€"yes, even those whom soâ€" ciety was unable to provide for in peateâ€"timeâ€"of their own measures of freedom. They are men whom Canada can ill â€"afford to lose. Most of them will come back, just as their fathers and brothers did in 1919. But during the process of winâ€" ning the war they will undergo terâ€" rific strains and mental upheavals. The mQoral convictions, courage and eagerâ€" ness that now are theirs will be taxed to the limit. Thoey wili find themselves face to face with hardships, sufferings and deprivations that might easily turn them into bitter, idistrustful cynics, robbed of their faith in humanity. That is, unless preventative steps are taken. War today is a different undertaking, from a mental standpoint, at least, than what it was twenty years ago. There is no soâ€"called patriotic flagâ€" waving and bandâ€"playing, and Canaâ€" diansâ€"those who already have seen service and those who have suffered from the aftermathâ€"do not consider it glorious adventure fraught with thrills and excitement. Young and old, they know the full meaning of the tremendous sacrifices they will be called upon to make. The disturbances of war can, if alâ€" lowed to go unchecked, impoverish civilization for generations to come. The experience of the last conflict proved this, for, even though the tumult and the shouting of 1914â€"1918 have faded there are still visible evidences of the horrible drain it made upon scciety. Canadiars have answered the call because they, like their fellowâ€"Britons and gallant Allies, the French, refuse to be bulldozed into subjugation. They stand firm in their determination that the wayward course of Naziâ€"Bolshevik antiâ€"Christianity must come to a definâ€" ite and final end before the future of cur nations and our children can be regarded with any measure of security. Democratiec armies have nothing to gain and much to lose. They serve simply to protect the rights of nations and individuals from the brutal onâ€" slaughts of Teutonic demagogues who threaten tp destroy civilization and reâ€" numan thought and action according to their own satanic liking. (By F. H. Wooding) The men of this country who have volunteered for service in the present struggle, have, by their action, identiâ€" fied themselves as good citizens. Unâ€" like the armed forces of totalitarian states, theirs is a war not of conquest but of defence of freedom and the preâ€" servation of those spiritual values which alone make life worth living.

Winter Golf Tournament Victoria â€" March 3â€"9, 1940 Attractive Fares And Train services TO PACIFIC COAST : scandards and types in Great Britain ard France are such that good work in this field will be feasible. â€"The opâ€" It will be appreciated, of course, that much cfi the work to be carried out . will be of a straightforward high school | character, but that the approach will be that of methods of adult education since in many cases the men will have Grade IX or better academic standing as well as considerable knowledge gained from war experience. Diversified Programme The various types of education to be provided by the Canadian Legion War Services will include vocational, techniâ€" cal ,"morals" building, and professional . training. In vocational, for example,| the men under arms will be able to. study mechanics, woodworking, electriâ€"/ cal engineering, stenography, typeâ€" writing, bookkeeping and secretarial work. It also will be possible for them to study agriculture since livestock That such a program as this is feasâ€" ible and can be carried out successfully is perhaps doubted by many civilians. But the answer is that it can. Unlike the last war it is probable that under present service conditions a greater number of troops will cccupy positions in the area behind the actual line of fire and that there will be greater freedom of individual movement beâ€" tween the front and the back areas, bases, and the areas occupied by the civilian populace. In addition, men on eave and in convalescent hospitafls will be given sufficient opportunity to avail themselves of the Legion‘s faciliâ€" ties, and it is possible that these can be extended to neutral countries where Canadians might be interned as prisâ€" oners of war. Apart from the possibiliâ€" ties of these fields, it is likely that selected men, recommended by their Company Officers, following a stated period of service under fire, will be permitted special leave of one month to take courses specially prepared on the plan of the "summer school" now in operation at many universities. That was one of the great tragedies of the last struggle and one which the Canadian Legion is determined shall not ‘be repeated. In the words of Alex. Walker, of Calgary, acting Dominion president of the Legion, "our is to permit every man willing to learn to leave the service after demobilization with both feet on the ground." _ _The Legion realizes, of course, that primary purpose of the armed forces is to win the war and that all auxiliary services must be provided in such a way as to contribute rather than to distract from this end. Its activities, therefore, both in Canada and abroad, have been planned careâ€" fully <+so as to synchronize with all constituencies of the army, navy and air forte, in such a way as to further military efficiency. Education Most Important While all branches of the Legion‘s war work will be of inestimable value in maintaining the morale and espritâ€" deâ€"corps of the fighting men, its eduâ€" cation program ° may â€" rightly be considered the most ambitious ever launched under such circumstances. The seed of this great enterprise actuâ€" ally was sown during the postâ€"war years of 19819 when thousands of Canâ€" adians who lost the three or four years that normally would have enabled them to become selfâ€"sustaining for the rest of their lives, returned home to. find their position gone. This coupled with a military outlook that made them intolerant of civilian matters, contributed greatly to a state of mental unrest and a consequent inability to "settle down." Despite the noble sacriâ€" fices they made, their lack of training in specific fields of endeavor made many of them unemployable and even today there are those still wandering abcout trying to fiit themselves into life as useful citizens. | 4 vices of various other types whenever the need arises. vocational â€" work. All committees throughout Canada, in fact, are making striking contributions to the welfare of the men under arms. Qualified Men Assisting Ir, addition to those who are assisting the Legion as members of committees, other noted educationists are giving generously of their time. For Canada the Legion has enlisted the help of Lieut.â€"Col. Wilfrid Bovey, O.BE., LL.B., D. itt., director of extraâ€"mural affairs, McGill University, Montreal, who is serving as national chairman of the education brarch,. He is being ably assisted by Walter S. Woods, of Ottawa, head of the War Veterans‘ Allowance Board, who is deputy national chairâ€" Elsewhere throughout Canada equally gratifying progress is being made. In Saskatchewan, through efforts made by Prof. J. G. Rayner, of the extension | department of the University of Saskâ€" ‘atchewan, correspondence courses are Ibeing provided to the men free of charge, as are factlities of technical schools. Study group courses also are being given. At Halifax, seat of one of Canada‘s largest garrisons, special inâ€" fstruction is being offered separately to }members of the naval services, the army and the air force. In the Quebec district bilingual studies are being given in vocational work. Ontario, Hikewise, has an ambitous program under way. In Manitoba the Winnipeg committee has been functioning since September and wellâ€"attended lectures have been given in such subjects as "Causes of the War," "Geography of Northern France," ‘"Recent History and Customs of the French People," and *"French Canada." British Columbia also is active and, besides providing corresâ€" pondence courses leading to matriculaâ€" tion, is offering technical courses and courses in art, music, history and vocational â€" work. â€"All committees It must not be assumed, however, | that this work will be carried out only in England and France, or that, in fact, it will be abandoned at the end of ; the war. Indeed, a most energetic proâ€" gramme is now under way in Canada and thousands of young men are takâ€" :‘ advantage of the Legion‘s services. Committees, comprised of outstanding educationists, have ‘been formed in | every military district and these comâ€" mittees, ably assisted by officers comâ€" : manding, report that splendid progress is being made. In Calgary, and Edmonâ€" : ton, for example, energetic committess have been formed and as a result of their efforts lecture programs were _ started at the beginning of the new vocational courses are being ~given at technical schools and radio classes in conversational French are beingzg held three times a week. The program at the moment is mainly of a general, popular educational nature, but it is expected that this will be exâ€" tended in the near future. A questionâ€" naire already has been distributed among officers and men to determine fully what particular subjects they . want to study. The special area representatives who are assisting the Legion in Ontario are as follows: Kingston and Ottawaâ€"Mr. Ross Winter, Queen‘s University, Kingâ€" ston; Dr. Seraphin Marion, University of Otta‘wa, Mr. Walter S. Woods and Licut.â€"Col. Gerard Garneau, of Ottawa,; Torontoâ€"Mr. W. J. Dunlop, director of extension, University of Toronto; Prof. T. R. Loudon, University of Toronto; Hamiltonâ€"Mr. E. T. Salmon, McMaster University: Rev. John Ward; London â€"Dr. S. F. Maine, director of extension, Univers‘ty of Western Ontario, and one representative to be named. The Legion moreover, intends to arâ€" range educational tours for all memâ€" bers of the forces on leave and also to make it possible for them to visit agricultural institutions, farms, and industrial and other plants in Great Britain and France. Legion Has Full Support In its education program, which is being carried out in collaboration with the Canadian Association for Adult Education, the Legion has the full supâ€" port of the departments of education of all nine provinces, as well as the uniâ€" versities and municipal authorities in all parts of Canada. It is fully expected that the British and French governâ€" ments will give wholeâ€"hearted support to the scheme. In the matter of "morals" building the Legion is of the opinion that inâ€" struction in social sciences will have a great bearing on the development of an Aactive interest in citizenship. Here a great field exists for reinforcing | morale. An important base for such !study would include history, civics, ecoromic geography and related subâ€" jects and there would be unrivalled cpportunity to correlate English literâ€" ature with new scenes. Instruction, furthermore, will also be arranged for those interested in dramatics, music, art and architecture. In this connection use will be made of art galleries and museums where collections are still available, The method of instruction followed is principally that of modern education, such as talks, discussions and allotted reading rather than mere lectures. The importance of visual education has not been overlooked and moving pictures will be utilized extensively for this purpose. For instance, travelling lendâ€" ing libraries will be stationed at the front where men will be able to borrow books, magazines and newspapers. To amplify this, mobile moving picture units, by means of which the men will be able to enjoy Canadian documentary and educational films, will be in cperation. Many of the new soldiers are men who enlisted before their university or other forms of advanced study were completed and the Legion is making special facilities available for them. Through arrangements made with certain â€" universities correspondence courses will be open‘ so that they may obtain their matriculation and even their B.A. degree. portunitiés are particularly excelient in Great Britain for those interested in technical work. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO An inspection of the new 2â€"ton cabâ€" overâ€"engine model shows that the gearâ€" shift lever is in the same location that all drivers are accustomed to, rather than at the rear of the cab.

There is widespread sympathy for the land of Finland in these days of struggle against unprovoked aggression, and a brave fight to maintain independence. This service is a gesture of sympathy and fellowship with our Finnish friends in their day of trial and suffering.
