These men are still in hos- pital, nearly ten years after the sign- ing of the Armistice, and the Depart. ment of Soldiers' Civil Re-establish- ment and Board of Pension jCom- missioners refuse to recognize that the Government has any responsibil- ity to these men and their depend- ents. In discussing the matter, Char- les Hicks, President of the Kingston branch of the Canadian Legion, stat- ed that a thorough investigation will be demanded, with the whole weight of the Canadian Lesion of the Bri- tish Empire Service League at the back of the demand, WILL NOT EXCLUDE COUNTY PUPILS (Continued from from page 3) from the townships or adjacent suburban area. : 3.--Or, finally, 80 per cent be collected from the Counties econ- cerned and 20 per cent directly from the pupils, Trustee Garbutt objected on the ground that the city is mot em titled to more han 80 per cen fees from the County. He also ad- vocated, in the interests of the Board's dignity, that it carry out its original expulsion program, Trustee Norris declared tha Oshawa could not run the risk of doing serious injustice to families living in its immediate vicinity due to the failure to act by a recalei- trant county council, Trustee Vickery + emphatically supported Trustees Smith and Nor- ris, He declared that while some members of the County Council were all that could be desired on a body of that kind; others had {rom time immemorial lost: no op- portunity to gouge the last penny out of Oshawa that they could, whether as town or city, He drew the line sharply be- tween south Ontario and north Ontario County Councillors, de- claring that in his opinion the southern councillors were willin to play fair, Trustees interjected that these had, however not distinguished themselves in that regard at the recent County Council sessions, Analysis ""rustee H, 8, Smith, contradict- ed Trustee Garbutt's statement that the County should not pay more than 80 per cent, "As 1 told the County Counen on a previous occasion," he stat- ed, "that argument might apply if our collegiate institute had but one form for each year. As it is, we have five first form classes, and several second forms, "Is it possible to argue, in logic, that if the 100 County pupils wer: removed that we could not get along with at least two less teach- ers on our staff? "A farmer also argued with me on the question of debenture charges, He told me that the 80 per cent we collect is just tuun money that, when the building is paid for, it belongs to us, "I told him as I tell you gen- tlemen that debentures for the col- legiate cover 30 years, At the end of that time mo 7 30 Golleglate) could stand in use that would mot be demned as obsolete or, more probably abandoned. "As it stands, the front part of our collegiate Institute will be torn down and a mew building erected long before the debentures on it are paid for. (A murmur of agreement yp ed around the Board table). "We are entitled in equity to the full 100 per cent," Mr. Smit concluded, "and I am convinced that if the aect--as the deputy minister indicates to my surprise ~--foesn't cover the matter, them we should get an amendment or special legislation." The resolution passed is for the personal attention of the Hon, G. Howard Ferguson, minister of edu cation as well as premier, It argues that in the Oshawa district the growth of the eity has increased values in the imme diate vicinity enormously, In- creased tax revenue therefrom goes to the County's eoffers while, a the same time, the city is asked to continue education of pupils at a rate designed to be effective in a small town that actually found additional county pupils for {its high school a subsidy for higher education instead of being, as here. an added financial burden to the taxpayers of Oshawa.

But one day recently, says the To- ronto Globe, "Big Bill got up, and out--just imagine it--on the right side of his bed, He did the first on side of his bed. He did the first of his daily dozen growls, poured him- self into his clothes, grunted through his breakfast and journeyed down to the F tel Sherman to look over Chicago's International Travel Exhi- bition, Bye-and-bye, Bill put the brakes on his bulk, and came to a sliding stop in front of a booth where two young fellows, J.
