Ron Jones and his orchestra helpsd to provide the entertainment and our old friend, Jimmie Ormston, who is too well known to need any comment, filled in wherever his talent was in demand, and that was often. Ron Jones did a swell job and so did Jo@ Glad and his Croatian Orchestra. Walter Greaves sung a little ditty that included rolling in the clover, for which the time is not yet ripe. Les Nicholson helped out in a big way as Comrade Dr, McClinton proposed a toast to the ladies and Mrs. Les Nichâ€" olson, President of the Ladies‘ Auxiâ€" liary, made reply. Al Wetmore, in closâ€" ing the opening ceremonies paid tribhâ€" ute to the work done by the Ladieos Auxiliary, and the ladies can certain‘ly lay claim to a splendid record. From Sept. 1933, until Oct., 1944, they raisâ€" ed as much as $1,720 by their own efâ€" forts entirely. During that time they disbursed $1,329. They sent parcels ovâ€" erseas monthly which are doubled at Christmas. A portion .of their funds is derived among the following organizaâ€" tions: Prov. Command Union Staiion Fund; Can.

Comrade Neame admitted that <‘the years of usefulness of men who were veterans of the last war are about over but thnc Legion will continue to use every efâ€" fort to assist men and help them in rehabilitation. 10,000 new membets were enrolled into the Canadian Leâ€" gion during 1944 and the increase will continue. Comrade Neame â€" thanked both Mr. Macdonald and Mayor Bruâ€" nette and siid that the boys coming home are looking to the old timers for help and their experience is of great value, but the time isâ€" coming when the ‘39ers will be prepared to take over â€"not the Legion aloneâ€"but the afâ€" fairs of the nation as well. The pick of Canada went and the pick of Canada is coming back. Mr. E. L. Longmore spoke bricfly: "I, for one, camn certainly appreciatc the â€"work of the Canadian Legion during past years. It would have been impossible to look after returned men without the coâ€"operation and advice of the Legion and we look to the Leâ€" gion in the future." ‘ Mayor Emile Brunette proposed th: toast to the Canadian Legion. Mr. Brunctte said that the Legion had done a job in this war, not only for those still in the services but also for men and women who have been disâ€" charged. The Legion and other organâ€" izations face a bigger task in the near future. There must be no jobless disâ€" contented, hungry hordes of men as immediately after the last war.

Authier stood by the front aoor as police searched. On the floor just in front of the they found a bag (exhibited) which contained four gold "buttons." Also was a slip of paper with record of weights of the buttuons. They finally decided to search the car, as it had a Quebec license, and liquor might be found. As there were no lights on the cur they almost ran into it. They saw the driver walking round the rear of the car with a screwdriver in his hand. It was Philippe Authier and there was no other person in the car. As thney pulled up they told Authier he hadq nc lights on. He said he was testing his | tires.
