Major Stirling was introduced to the assembly, on behalf of the Ninth Vicâ€" tory Loan, by Mr. Ted Rowe, whose introductory: remarks expressed th> neâ€" cessity of educating the youth of toâ€" day to the full horrors of war and the repercussions thereof. Twentyâ€"six new _ comrades were formally initiated into Branch 88 durâ€" ing another monster initiation meeting held at the Legion Hall on the evening of Saturday, November 3rd. The iniâ€" tiates were representative of all three servicesâ€"Air, Navy and Armyâ€"and among them were sons of several of the "old originals", Comrade Les Nicholson, immediate pastâ€"president and i1st. viceâ€"president of the branch, had the pleasure of sisting in the initiation of one of his sons lately returned from active serâ€" vice, Ralph Ernest Nicholson, Seaâ€" man Gunner, late of HM.C.S, Uganda, one of Canada‘s modern â€" cruisers, which took part in some of the most important engagements in the Pacific area. Another. longâ€"established and wellâ€" known Comrade, Dick Wilson, C.P.O. R.CNV.R., was present to give the hand of welcome to his son Jack Wilson A.B. R. C. N. V. R. â€" Comrad» Dick Wilson was in uniform and is a veteran of the last great war as well as serving in the recent unpleasantâ€" ness. At the conclusion of the ceremony, Comrade Wetmore addressed the newâ€" lyâ€"initiated comrades, urging them to reflect on the importance of their obliâ€" gation and never at any time to lose sight of their membership in the Canadian Legion, as too many of their comrades had done in the past. Fe pointed out that governments may change and that future governments may not give the same consideration to veterans and the claims that are rightfully theirs by reason of their serâ€" vice to their country, that they are getting toâ€"day. They should adhere to their memâ€" bership in the Canadian Legion he stated. A strong Legion would be as necessary 15 years from now as it is toâ€"day, when they or their depenâ€" dents may actually depend for their existence â€" upon the support of a powerful: organization, Comrade Wetâ€" more claimed. Comrade Les Nicholson said that the Branch was built up to its present favourable position, financially and in the public eye, by the veterans of ‘14 â€"‘18, and it had done everything posâ€" sible to assist servicemen while on acâ€" tive service. The branch as it stands toâ€"day, with all its assets, tangible and intangible, belongs to the new veterans, he said. If they live up to the obligation exacted from them durâ€" ing their initiation they will be a deâ€" finite asset, not only to the Legicn, but to the community of which they form a part, as well. Comrade Wetmore concluded â€" by urging all ‘39â€"ers to turn out at the next â€"General Meeting, the last nomination meeting for president and executive council for 1946, and to use the powers given to them. Vote in ‘39â€"ers and to tell all their contemâ€" porary comrades to do likewise. It is time for the older members to hand cver the reins of authority, he said. Conriri;de Wetmore asked all memâ€" bers of the branch to turn out on Sunâ€" day, November 1ith, for the parade to THE LEGION COLUMN the Major nothing but breakfasts.

Even the heaviest tackling of the season on the part of the Timmins lads would not halt the TIroquois drives, Brand started the Palls scoring with a point scored from a kick very early in the game. Then the Falls souad marched from Timmins‘ 30â€"yard line to the 10â€"yard line, where Festarinl broke through the Timmins line into an open field and scored a touchdown. He made the convert with a place kick, Later in the period he scored a field goal to put Iroquois Falls ahead by 8â€"0. In the gecond stanza, the Timmins tackling improved and the Irownois were only able to score one point, on kick by Pestarini.> The third quarler was much the same. Timmins was driven back until several of the Falls tacklers caught a Timmins back behind the touchline with the ball and downed him for a safety touch, Festarini again cut loose in the last quarter to score two more touchdowns.
