LEGION TO CONVENE AT ALEXANDRIA BAY The Good Folks There Are Worrying Over Housing Five Thousand Visitors. Alexandria' Bay, N.Y., Aug. 18.-- | The people of this chief summer | resort of the Thousand Islands await | the meeting of the largest conven- | tion that has ever assembled here. | The American Legion is to convene at Alexandria Bay on September 2nd to 4th and 5,000 members of that body are scheduled to be present. The good folk here are worried, as the local Chamber of Commerce scarcely knows how it will house such an influx, The hotels can take care of 2,000 and the villagers will have to take the remainder into their homes. Pre- sident Coolidge and Governor Smith, of New York, have accepted invita- tions to attend, and the former will have the opportunity of viewing the celebrated Boldt castle, whicn stands on an island in the river just oppo- site Alexandria Bay and which has for some time been suggested as a summer home for the United States' chief executive. Hundreds of tour ists are daily taken across in motor boats to view this castie, which is fit for any king. | | | { { i { { | { Recalls '032 Times." An old-time marine captain, la- ments the passing of the years when the Thousand Islands were the sum- mer homes of great numbers of peo- ple from all over New York state. "In the good old days," he remark- jed, "the fathers and mothers of the | new generation came here to spend | the summer -in their island homes. | Now the young folks will hardly look at the islands. They come here in their motor cars, take a trip around the islands by motor boat, and then off they go. They must be on the move. The result is that scores, of costly homes are to be seen with their windows boarded over. The new generation simply will not sit still." This old captain also lamented the passing of so many of the old steam- boats, '"The motor craft has done to the steamboat what the motor car has done to the railway train," he said. "It has taken away much of its passenger traffic. I used to com- mand the steamer Sport. It required eight hands. Now a motor ~raft that will carry 30 people is operated by one maa." f Splendid Hotels Gone. In the old days, the Thousand Is- land region boasted some of the fin- est summer hotels on the continent. Now only two remain, the Thousand Island house and the Crossman at Alexandria Bay. The former was erected 50 years ago and recently the event was the occasion of a celebra- tion here. Old-timers consider these structures as having had great luck in escaping destruction by fire. The big Frontenac on Round Is- land, which was the mecca of wealthy New Yorkers, and the Columbian at the Thousand Island park, both went up in flames and were never replac- ed. To-day they would not pay. The Thousand Island park, for- merly the most crowded place in the island region, is so dead to-day that last week several of the older wo- men who made it their homes sum- mer after summer, found it "too 'quiet" playing bridge and mah jongg, and moved to Alexandria Bay to see a little more life, PRESENTATION TO F. J. WILSON. Retiring Secretary of the Y.M.C.A,, is ' Kindly Remembered. On Saturday evening a presenta- tion of the Y.M.C.A. surprised Mr. F. J. Wilson, retiring secretary of the association, by presenting him at his home with a beautiful leather club bag and an address expressing their appreciation and gratitude for the many years of service and the many acts of kindness he has done for them during the thirteen years he held office, first as boys' secretary, then as general secretary. He was the means many times of advising boys and young men to the higher life of service to the other fellow. Busi- ness men in the world to-day give TOMATOES=1] gt baskets (6 Ib cars; 4] { him credit for following the advice he had given them. While in the years spent as general secretary he came more in contact with the senior mem- bers, the intermediate and junior boys felt that he was the senior head and, when they heard he was about to sever his connection with the As- sociation, thought they would like to show in some tangible way their ap- preciation of his services. Although Mr. Wilson was com- pletely taken by surprise, he express- ed his appreciation and said that what he had done for the boys of the Y.M.C.A. he hoped they would do for the other fellow. ------------------ Teachers' Federation.

MAY CURTAIL WINTER LUMBER OPERATIONS Extra Large Cut of Last Sea- son Likely to Result In Lower Cut. Pembroke, Aug. 18.--An extra large cut of logs last season, com- bined with a dull lumber market at present, is likely to result in the cur- tailment to a certain extent of the operations of most lumber com- panies during the coming winter and among them the Edwards Lum- ber and Pulp Company, Limited, and the Pembroke Lumber Company, Limited. . It is understood that the Edwards Lumber and Pulp Company will op- erate nine concern camps this year at Stonecliffe, Ont., Deux Rivieres, Ont., and Angliers, Que., and the number may possibly be intreased. They took out an extra large cut last year and have many logs in the water and their present plans would indicate that the cut this year will be about normal. They now 'have about 150 men 'in the bush making improvements and will add to this stall at the rate of from #hout fifty to seventy-five men until a total of about 1,000 are em- ployed. The Pembroke Lumber Company, Limited, have sufficient logs in the river to run their mill next season and this year will operate but ome concern camp. This will be located at Kenny, on the T. and N.O., and they will have one "jobber on their Jocko limit and one on the Murtagh limit. About 350 men will be em- ployed. ------------ bory, was instgatly killed in New| THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG MONDAY, AUGUST 18, 1034. --_-- [@ » "Oh Yes I Have A Charge Account at Laidlaw's"' YOU see this year we are running our household on the budget plan --so much for food, so much for cloth- ing, and so on, and I find a charge account in one reliable store, gives me the most complete record of such expenditure for the month, nicely tabulated and then I write and mail my check to cover this or send the money.
