Phone 203 Vet- erc1 streets of the town before the rally opened in the Town Hall, Al- though long since returned to peaceful pursuits, these men warched with the precision for which in war days they were noted, In the parade there were men of many medals---men who had won one distinction or another on the field of battle and who could be pardoned for the proud manner lo which they displayed them, But medals created no distinction in the ranks of the marchers--sthey were as one. The comradeship of the war had been revived anew. Distinguished Visitors The gathering in the Town Hall which followed the parade was an enjoyable and memorable one, It brought together in a social way the men of the various distmct Lranchos but more important than this was the fact that they learr- od at first hand from faithful and competent legion officials some thing of the work which has been accomplished for the returned men and their dependents and the greater tasks which yet remain, On the platform with the chair: man, M. Melutyre Hood, district provincial executive yepresentative were His Worship Mayor C, E. Bowman, of Whitby; Col, C, H.

Matthew Gold- burn, of Oshawa, a staunch friend of the Legion, gave freely and ef- ficlently of his services at the piano, The programme furnished by these entertainers was all that could be desired. The service ren- dered by the Whitby Citizens' Band was very much appreciated, Initiate New Members A very interesting feature of the rally was the fuitiation of six new members of Whitby Post No. 112, This work, very beautifully done, was in charge of an initia- y 3 ; » . » i] 5 : » " ! » » ] LET » Pe * Hy Bazan "What RRR even more t t . . as pares of a y harmonized whole.

There 'was also carried on consid- erable welfare 'work, with dozens of calls dally, 'With the co-opera- in the civil service during past two years, Much' had also been done towards securing for many mothers' allowances, Comrade the wonderful assistance he had received from all officials, He made an appeal unity of action for the achievement of the Legion's high ideals chief among thea being the rendering of service to the less fortunate in and out of the ranks. Col, Ackerman, provincial presi- dent and the chief speaker of the evening, was introduced by Major N. H. Sutton, of Peterboro, Col. Ackerman, he stated, had served long and well in the war snd in days of peace was still serving, He seen a vision of continuing service directed principally to those who had served overseas and their dependents, Reviewing briefly the history of the inception / f the British Empire Service League, wileh, he stated, was conceived in the minds of those who bad done more taprards the successfull operation of the British Army than anyone else, Col. Ackerman stressed that its principal object was to keep ©o- mented together, in, one control and one unit, an / organisation whieh would cover the earth and achieve much in leavening the dis turbed conditions which followed as the aftermath of thy great war, Ear! Halg during his visit to Can ada had sown the seed of the League from which had sprung the Canadian Legion, The officers had kept faith with Earl Halg, with the result that the organization had grown very rapidly, Col, Ack- erman ventured to predict that within a year the six or seven other ex-servicemen's organizations in Canada would cease to exist, and become members of the Cana- dian Legion, He felt that the or- ganization should increase its membership to 800,000 or even 400,000, It did pot exist to hold a threat over the powors that be, but rather did its success depend upon the cultivation of public opinion, 80 that the people of Canada might be convinced of the fact that the members were as anxious to serve in days of peace as they were in the days of war. All problems were capable .of solution if the organi- zation kept out of politics and its members were true to the high {deals embodied in the Legion con- stitution, The men who had served in the war, who had seen the more serious side of lite, had in Col. Ackerman's opinion a better con« ception that members of other community service organizations of Canada's needs, The Legion, he declared, should be the force, backbone and red blood of the country, Col, Ackerman very heart- {ly and oarnestly gave his hearers some idea of the high type of cite izenship which was giving leader- ship to the Legion, both at Ottawa and throughout the various branches, Others who spoke briefly were Comrade Robinson of the adjusts ment office; and the chalrman, M. Melntyre Hood. Comrade Robinson expressed a desire Lo be of service to all returned men and invited co-operation, Provincial President A vote of thanks to Col, Acker man and Provincial Secretary Alex, {£ilcpds tor thelr fine addresses and attendance at the rally was moved hy Comrade Prentiss, of Brock Township Branch, and seconded by Comrade Mitchell of Port Perry.
