Sapper Once again the Timmins branch cf the Canadian Legion has shown that its neverâ€"ccasing interest and effort on: behalf of exâ€"servicemen brings results. The lates} caze is that of Zapper P. G. Fraser, Canadian Signal Corps, who came here after the war. Undoubtledly the rigors of war had seriously affectâ€" ed his health, but he was discharged as in healthy condition. It was not however, before he had to take treatment for bronchial trouble similar to that endured in the Army. The situation, however, was complicated *y the fact that on April 13th, 1934, Mr Fraser, while employed at the Hollinger Mine, suffered a stroke while at work. All that medical skill could accompâ€" lish was done, but it seemed that Mr. Fraser would remain bedâ€"ridden for the rest of his life. The Legion has had a number of specialists examine him and various treatments have been suggested for the improvement of his condition. After he had been a year in hospital here the Legion took his case, but made little headway. It was felt that he should be taken to one of the military hospitals where he would receive special attention without burâ€" densome expense on the local branch. Several prominent local citizens also interested themselves in the case, but were unable to secure the desired reâ€" sults. Appeals to Ottawa were met in effect by the suggestion:â€""Establish a disability due to war service, and he will be admitted to a military hospital." The Legion persisted, however, in its strenuous efforts on behalf of Mr. Fraser. Austin Neéame had worked unâ€" tiringly in his behalf, with Dr. H. H. THUBREDAY OCTOBER i3TH, 1938 Moore, Dr. A. S. Porter, and the min® managzement. Eventually the persist=â€" ehce won. At the provincial convenuiun of the Legion held here, there was suggestion dropped that indicated the line to follaw to win out in this case W. A. Devine, a delegate from the local branch, was placed in charge of the case. With the generous assistance of local dGoctors a case was made out showing the original cause of Mr. Prasâ€" er‘s disability was due to war experiâ€" ences. The result of this was that a pension was granted. Next there w1us application for his admittance to miuliâ€" tary hospital where his case could have all the needed attention without any heavy expense to anyone. Last week full success crowned the efforts in beâ€" half of Mr. Fraser, an order being rcâ€" ceived here for "Pete‘s" admission to Christie Street hospital, preparatory to his transfer to Camphill hospital, Haliâ€" fax, Nova Scotia, near Mr. Fraser‘s old home. For over a year the Legion kept this case to the front and naturally are gratified that it should have such beneâ€" ficial results for those concerned. The Legion is particularly grateful to Dr. Kelly and Dr. Russell for their assist=â€" ance in makinzg effective presentation of the case to the Pension Board, xâ€"ray plates and medical data being of spesial " 1 value in making the case plain. The Legion Service Bureau proved its worth. in giving W. A. Devine advice in che matter and in acting on behalf of the patient at Toronto. To these mentiotn~â€" ed and to all others who helped in any way in this case, the Legion expresses its sincere thanks. "Pete" left yestercuy Christie Street hospital, and there are high hopes that a cure may be effected, and that the Porcupine will have the opporâ€" tunity to welcome him back here again He was given a rousing sendâ€"off by hils comrades when he left here and will reâ€" ceive a still more impressive greeting when he returns here in recovered or greatly improved health. Before he left, the hospital here Pete was visitea in the past few days by hosts of friends who called to wish him the best of luck and an early return to complete healtn and to the Porcupine Camp. pper P. G. Fraser to Have xtended Hospital Care from Pension Board.

(By Lance Connery) Little did Kingsville folks realize the development that was to come when Jack Miner established his bird sancâ€" tuary jJust 35 years ago. Toâ€"day he is one of the best known citizens in the Dominion of Canada and visitors to the sanctuary number thousands annua‘ly. The whiteâ€"haired naturalist with the brisk woodsman‘s stride is as wioll known in Vancouver as he is in Haliâ€" fax. And as well known as himself are the many sanctuaries and centres of wild life conservation that have arisen as a Girect msult of his efforts. Not only have m.ny individual refuges for hirds been established, but many etnment sanctuaries, too. Prevention, not cure of the il!s of man‘s relationship to his wild comrades is the naturalist‘s aim, and he has seâ€" cured wholeâ€"hearted coâ€"operation from many of the hunters whom some have thought opposed to his activities. More and more are they beginning to realize that men like Jack Miner are guard‘ng the future of North American hunting. The sanctuary system is a sure bulâ€" wark against tendencies of exterminaâ€" tion which all too frequently are noted in the modern hunter, with his upâ€"toâ€" date equipment and keen urge to kill. Governments, too, realize that withâ€" out preservation of wild game revenues from sales of shooting licenses would scon dwindle. Full support from the authorities â€" has consequently been forthcoming. This simple woodsman â€" with such clearâ€"cut views on conservation is 2 world figure now, yet only this week he followed a tractor and disc in prépatâ€" ing ground before his home for fowex planting. Few passing motorists: reâ€" cognized the sturdy figure in the workmanlike overalls . as the noted naturalist.

Dr. Fishbein, editor of the Joiarn *1 | of the American Medical Association, | at the ededication ceremonies of tne Abbott Laboratories‘ new researtch puilding at Noth Chicago, Science Serâ€" vice reports. ; LW L. "When insulin was first discovered," he painted out, "the quantity available was so small that. it is reported, a New York broker offered $1,000,000 for imâ€" mediate control. The product, when first mad>» available commercially, was sold at a price which made it imposâ€" sible for any except the rich to avail themselves of it as needed, but hardiy a year had passed before commercial develcpments had made mass producâ€" tion possible to such an extent that the product toâ€"day is freely available for all who require it. "Indeed, it becomes quite possible 10r local "agencies to provide it to the inâ€" digent as needed.
