Walter Greaves has been trying for quite a considerable time past to enter into the armed services, feeling that his knowâ€" ledge of mechanics would be of value to | the country at this time.

He left on | Tuesday of this week to report to Torâ€" l onto from where he will be posted to his station. During his connection with the Legion Walter Greaves has had the honour of being the branch presâ€" | ident for four years, and an executive member for five years; No job was too big for him to make a success of it and recently his work as Chairman of the Timmins Legion Community Fag Fund has placed this war effort on a sound basis and in good financial position. His | study of the problems of his comrades [ and his work on their behalf has been | earnest and sincere. In consideration ' of this the Timmins Branch sent him as delegate to several conventions as ofâ€" f ficial delegate. In connection with Poppy Day campaigns his work will be hard to replace. To sum up his loss to the community can only say "our _ loss is the gain of the R.C.A.P." The gathering at the Legton hall conâ€" sisted of Legion members, mine manâ€" agers, members of the mill staff of the Hollinger, members) of the Lions Club, and other friends. Austin Neame in adâ€" dressing the guest of honour, touched on his work for the Legton and in other fields. The speaker said that the knowledge Walter Greaves has in his own field of industry would be of value to the country and he wished him on behalf of all present a speedy return to civilian life.
