Filing changes of address, keeping track of men as they went overseas, and organizing the monthly shipâ€" ments, kept Hughie fully occupied every night of the week and part of Sunday, and there was never a letâ€" down. If any man from this district failed to receive his cigarettes reguâ€" larly, it was through no fault of Hughie‘s . Besides carrying out a lion‘s share in the weekly operation of the hockey draw, which is a job in itself, Comrade Hughie Moore has acted as secretary of the Fag Fund for so long that Hughie .and the Fag Fund have beâ€" come inseparable. Hughie IS the Fag Fund. A just and equitable gratuity would be one that grants a minimum of t least $500 to all servicemen who went overseas and saw action in the field irrespective of rank or duration, exâ€" cepting, perhaps, those who went on purely inspection itrips, etc. In many ways the early volunteer is penalized for his patriotic action in being the first to arrive in the firing line, unless he was able to stay in the service for the whole duration, or, at least a large part of it, even though he may be a casuatly and incapaciâ€" tated for civilian life. Many of these servicemen, having been wounded or incapacitated, were returned to Canada before completing six months service overseas and subâ€" sequently discharged. Their share in the gratuity will be comparatively small, through no fault of their own, and the clothing allowance at that time was much smaller than the $100 granted later. But what is the position of the early volunteer, who, having proâ€" ceeded overseas with the First Diviâ€" s‘on, was unfortunate enough to beâ€" come a victim of the aerial bombardâ€" ment of Britain during the dark days of 1940â€"â€"41? Or, taking a similar case; those who became casualities through enemy action in the early days at Dunkirk. Much emphasis is laid upon the fact that a private with four or five years‘ service overseas to his credit is entitled to gratuities amounting to considerâ€" able sums of money, and there is no doubt but what he is fully deserving of every penny of it. as a maik of appreciation for # . _ ® # # k.\ \ in # t_ ‘%. \% f # . _# # t #. #. *# atn 300 atn ate dhe atnabeate dhe atn c in e e atn atactns *n stnate io in ale eP astectan ts ob n n 0 ts ob abe be abe ahe abe a hn ie ols a n ate a nc ateate oo a hn o tn o s bo o ho abe abe at n c aLe ale sn * *‘ t °* + *Â¥ "# ‘ sif Ais.

This should be a means of bringing newlyâ€"discharged men toâ€" gether. Many of our new members are not even acquainted with each other. They belong to a wide range of age groups and saw service in widely scattered units and this type of social activity should go far to correct this disadvantage. There will be a "Smoker", to which all members of the branch and all servicemen in uniform are invited, on Saturday, Dec. 15. Jiggs famous disn, corned betf and cabbage, will be one of the outstanding features of this "smoker"‘. Give the Entertainment Committee a boost and come in your numbers. The Ladies Auxiliary are planning on the committee at any time before 8 P.M. on any Thursday evening at the Hollinger recreation hall. Comrade Greaves, chairman of the Bingo commititee, sent out a call, askâ€" ing new members to take an active interest in the work of the Committee. This is another commutte that has carried on faithfully during the war year and since, without asking for, or expecting, recognition: for their serâ€" vices Any comrade can find a place Comrade Barney Quinn made the preseniation, with a tew appropriate Wwuras to the efftect taat his lrish serâ€" geantâ€"major during the ‘14â€"â€"‘l8 unâ€" pleasaniness was a bit of a Tartar; just the traditional sergeantâ€"major, maybe a liittle bit worse and this was his first opportunity of getting back at an Irishmgn. Hughie received the compliment with a broad grin. Barney made no reference to what he has accompl.shed himself for the Fagâ€"Fund, which is a griat deal more than can be said in a few words, Comrade Hughic‘s services he was preâ€" sented with the Legion Medal of Merxit at the last general meeting. Hughie is really one of the underâ€"cover men who prefer to work outside of the limelight, and his whole heart was in his job of providing the boys overseas with what they craved most. The preâ€" sentation was a complete surprise to him. take place at the Leâ€" Kiwanis Told Value Of Soil‘s Fertility In answer to a question regarding underprivileged children who might be in the township, he said that the Porcupine Health Unit had jurisdicâ€" tion in the township. He also noted that the board of trustees of the imâ€" provement district â€" had plannaed Christmas entertainment and cheer for the children of the township. Mr. Spooner suggested that the Kiâ€" wanis could help by setting aside an amount over which the Agricultural Ccommittee would have complete conâ€" trol, but which would be expended on plans decided upon by the Comâ€" mittee and the township board. He Mr. J. W. Spooner, secretary of the Improvement District of Mountjoy, introduced the speaker, giving many interesting facts about Mountjoy and what had been done under the orâ€" ganization as an improvement district. He believed that the board of trustees of the township had done more in few months than the average town council did in a year. He pointed out that animals by inâ€" Stinct would select food from soill with the fight amount of nourishing elements in preference to fodder grown on deficient soil. Mr. Hanlan made it plain that all were vitally interested in the question of "soil fertility in relation to human health " and he suggested ways in which the Kiwanis Club could help the farmers and by so doing help the community at large. uuest speaker for the day was H. L. iianian, LDiustrict Represâ€"ntaiive tor ag.icui.urge, Maiheson, Oni. His adâ€" «aress gave a strong presentation of nme subject, "Suil Fertiity in Relaiion to human Health." The importance of the question was illustrated by the frct. that with an estimated worla population of 2,000,010,000, there were about of th:s number enâ€" gaged in agriculture, while in normal t.mes about 100,000,000 people suffered irom malnutrition. | The elements necessary for the proâ€" per maintenance of human health are drawn from the soil, Mr. Hanlan said. Chief among these he mentioned calâ€" cium, phosphorus, nitrogen and poâ€" tash. The soil in Mountjoy townshinpn was high in calcium, but much of the land in the township needed fertilizer to restore other necessary elements. J. W. Spooner, H. L.

Kiwanian A. E. Wadge, chairman of the Agricultural Committee, expressed the thanks of the club to the speaker of the day and to the members of the improvement district board for their interest and attendance. thought that $200 would go a long way to help in such a plan as proposed by C.
