A despatch from Budbury on Monday gives the: tollowmc report of the conâ€" vention:â€"â€" Y comprising . of Northern Onâ€" tario, of the Canadian Legion, B.E.S.L., held gne of its most colorful and sucâ€" ‘cessful conventions in~the history of the North. It was the first such meeting to take place in Sudbury. | Significant is the fact that it is the Jast time that the entire Northern portion of the province will meet as one unit. The district was split in two portions at the meeting, the new porâ€" tion to be known as District "H*", 4 Provincial officers in attendance at the convention included Provincial ‘President Magladery; the commander of District "G", W. J. Grummett, K.C., M.P.P., of Ansonville; E. S. Evans of Toronto;commander of District ;‘D‘", W.

Ts * s zK en t maa He warned the convention with be= comiing involved in politics. "We are too big to be mixed up in petty politics," he said, "but we should be continuously interested in national politics and watch for any legislation last war. New veterans‘ clubs are being attempted, which will draw memberâ€" ship away from the Legion. We must guard against anything like this that will weaken our organization, and must therefore be continuously active in the membership field." . Membership was an enthusiastically discussed topic, and a decision was reached tof set a goal of 10 000 new members for 1944. A membership drive during. the" suxmher ‘months netted the: orgaunization â€" 2,074¢" tiew. enroliments during July and August, the provincial president: reported and about 6,000. so far this year. The increased memberâ€" ship is mainly veterans of the present ‘Warns of Splits ~â€""There are attempts â€" afoot," he warned the gathering, *"‘to split the Legion, and thereby weaken its power, just the same as was attempted when the G.W.V.A. was formed after the Wreath Is Laid â€" Attended by wellâ€"known provincial figures in Legion work, the convention started> its business sessions at 10 o‘clock in the morning.

"The ammunition that we have to fire concerning matters pertaining to the welfare of veterans, must come from the branches," he told the deleâ€" gates, warning them that they must follow the orthodox manner in taking action on any proposed ideas. i Ulterior Motives He also cautioned the meeting to watch from any outside interference in veterans‘ welfare. Most of this is with ulterior motivation, he claimed, TIilustrating the above, he cited a case of «a large group of women, who appeared in a delegation before ,national authorities, requesting that patienw in Christie St. Hospital should be placed in other buildings in that city. "Christle St. Hospital buildimg is adâ€" mittedly out of date," he said, "but the equipment in it is the best in North America. Why, therefore, should men be removed from the proximity of this equipment, just so that they have bit more room. [What is needed is the rushed completion of the new Sunnyâ€" brook Hospital, and the equipping of it as well, if not better than Christie St. . 14 6 ud Noi uh t hn« wcrhend cards and letters of thhnks‘ frm:n i *fmenl on service overseas shows that this wqu is appreciated. The men overâ€" seas certainly like their cigarettes, and "We are standing on the threshold of infathomable things," he concluded "and we must be idealistic for the future generations of Canada. We are not satisfied with the immediate outâ€" look for returning veterans, and jwe must shoulder the responsibility of imâ€" proving it. Anything we do for them is theirs by right of service, not charity." one of the largest turnouts of veterans paraded to the Sudbury cenotaph just before the luncheon, to pay honor to their fallen comrades. About 300 exâ€"servicemen attended the parade, headed by the Saultâ€"Sudbury Regiment (Reserve) Pipe Band and the Ssudbury Citizens Band. The parade formed up outside the Nickel Range fiotel and was led ‘by (Provincial (President Magladery and District Commander Grummett. At the cenopath, Last Post and Revellle was sounded by Bugle{: Albert Gol_lier. The Timmins Legion Community Fag Fund continues its worthy work ‘of ‘sending cigarettes to the men on serâ€" vice overseas.. There has been,no letâ€" up in this good work.

Shields was safe in Britain after being reported as "Missâ€" ing after Operations" for some eleven weeks. Since the official word has been received here, Flying Officer Shields has written several times to his wife, Mrs. Margaret Easton Shields here, but full particulars as to his experlences while "missing," have not been availâ€" able. ‘In the despatch below will be found ‘reference to the experfences of Flying Officer Shields _ and a fellow officer who was a member : of the same squadron..

The despatch referâ€" red to says:â€" On their recent visit to Timmins the new T. N. O. Railway Commission emphasized the fact that their chief concern in regard to the railway would be to make it of more value to the North as a colonizing and developing factor. In this connection the chairâ€" man, Col. Reynolds, referred to the tourist traffic and suggested that he felt that the T. N.O. might be able to help considerably in developing tourâ€" ist trade in the North. He mentioned that in announcing"the appointment of the new commission Premier Drew had indicated that the T. NO. intended to expand in the way of methods of transportation. It was suggested that the T. N.O. might acquire planes, boats, buses, etc in following out these plans. There ‘was an announcement last that appears to show that all this was sometimes more than mere talk, and that the T. N.O. is intending to expand its services and facilities. The announcement last week said that another step designed to further the tourist industry in Northern Ontario in the postâ€"war days had been taken in the purchase by the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway Commission of the entire stock and assets and busiâ€" ness ofâ€"the Temagami Boat Company operated up to the present by J. R. Sproat, Temagami. In the official annoncement, it is sugâ€" gested that while the actual transfer of control has not yet taken place. . definite agreement has ‘been reached between the railway commission and the Temagami Boat Co. It is exrpected_ however, that transfer of control will take place not later than at, the close of navigation this fall. * According to T. N.O. officials it is said that the boats will continue in operation on Lake Temagami in their present capacity of a ‘tourist industry, while some form of freight transport will also be maintained between the mainland and tourist camps. The plans looks forward, to postâ€" war years when the popularity of the Temagami Lake area is expected to inâ€" crease to an extent that will be an almost unlimited amount of. t.ourlst business attracted to this sector of Northern Ontario. It is anticlpated that the railway will very likely conâ€" duct extensive repairs t,o the boats and docks in the near future, and that the purchase of additional equipment is also considered.
