The amount collected at the tag day in Timmins was over $600.00, and this is an excelléent showing in view of tne many difficulties naturally in the way. Both the population and the payroll in Timmins are considerably below preâ€" vious years, and is was scarcely to pe expected that the record of recent years would be However, the worthiness of the cause, the generosity of the people, despite the innumeranle calls upon them these days, and the number of patient and tireless workers, the result was very satisfactory. That as much as $600.00 was secured this year is a credit to all concerned. It proves that the people of Timmins appreciate the good work of the Canâ€" adian National Institute for the Blind, and it also shows that the committee in charge was able to organize a very effective group of taggers for the ocâ€" casion.

Keane is the chairman of committee, but unfortunately Mrs. Keane has been ill during the greater part of the campaign, but fortunatety for the cause the others on the comâ€" mittee carried on the work with reâ€" doubled effort and energy. The Timmins and District Advisory Committee has asked The Advance to express its special thanks to all who contributed to the success of the tag day. First, there is thanks for three special donations that not only helped to increase the total but also inspired and encouraged the workers. .

As a consequence I#s, Nicholson was elected as the new president by acclamation. In thanking the members for the honour given him, President Les, Nicâ€" holson said that he hoped that he would fill the position with credit to himself and value to the Legion. He would not be able to give as much time, perhaps, as some of the other presidents had done, but he assured the members he would carry on to the very best of his ability.
