The Dart league Captains heldâ€" a meeting in the Legion Hall on Monâ€" \ day evening to arrange for windin ’up of the season and presentation night, there wasn‘t the full attendancs so nothing was decided and a general i meeting was called for Sunday at the iStandard. servi To comr Cam|] we s speed Good Turnout The members certainly turned out well for this occasion which was very pleasing. In the afternoon he received the members and their wives in the Auditorium and shortly after he came down into the Clubroom â€" accomâ€" panied by President Gig Carswell who introduced him to all the memâ€" bers present and there was quite a gang. Among those whom he interâ€" viewed were Reg. Clark, F. Andrews, Alf Hawes, H. Moore, A. Wetmore, J. Dingley, Bert Hazlewood and Mat Ford, he had quite an amusing interâ€" view with J. E. Dingley (Major) and you members who were not present and know the Major \vouldn‘t be surâ€" prised at that. I need not go into details regarding the Governor General‘s visit to Timâ€" mins as both local papers carried the news, I make my report on his visit to our Clubrooms in‘ the Memorial Hall. He stood and watched . a game (grudge) of Billiards between O. J. and Cain, more particularly O. J. as he was introduced as our Billiard Champ so his Excellency paid partiâ€" cular attention: to O. J.‘s last shot which he made, much to his surprise I guess having a distinguished visitor in his audience. His Excellency seemed to be at home with the Vets and before he left all joined in singing "For He‘s A Jolly Good Fellow." Oh, Baby We congratulate comrade J. L Thomson, a girl. Sports Convener Jim Howlett tells me the Branch Bowling teams lost out to the Wellen Branch in the inter Branch competition, in Team play, Doubles and Singles. On Friday evenâ€" ing the Branch held a progressive Bridge pgrty in the Auditorium and there was a fair attendzance, those who won out were Mrs. Monette, first, Mrs. J. Scott, second, Mrs. Swayne, Ron Purchase, first, Ray Canic, second, and J. B. Morin, consoâ€" lation. There was the usual attendance at the Saturday evening sqcicl for the members and their friends with Ron Purchase and the Legiqgnaires supplyâ€" ing the music for the dancing. _â€" We are glad to see comreade Harry Hepplewhite ‘back again after his holicay in England. He looks pretty good after his mild and bitters, and quoting his own words, he got them by taking some of them to town in the old Dart game. Good Luck We have a visitor in town this week, an old timer of Branch ‘$8‘, Tom Parsons from Beamsville, he is dcoing a little fishing up here and we certainly hope he gets a fish and that he hss enjoyed his visit to the old stamping ground. We thank Jack Shields and Johnny Mira of the Cracker Jack club for their cooperstion in keeping the Dart game alive and hope to see them again soon, also we would like to see them in this tournament.

School students are very appreciative of the fact, and believe it or not, appreciative of the cool cloudy weekend. This weather is ideal for stuaying. Last week was a short one as far as school was concerned with only three school days. «The twentyâ€"fourth and the twentyâ€"fifth were ‘both holidays, the first for the Queen, the second for the Governor General. About 2 thousand high school stucents, along with the public and separate schools were on hand to greet His Excellency. The three cadet corps, comprised largely of high school students, were inspected by the viciting dignitaries. The High School has good reason to ‘be proud of its caget corps. Although, only the Army cadets are directly affiliated with the high school, the Air Cadets and the Sea Cadets also contain a high percentage of high school stuâ€" dents. The three cadet corps were all very smart and militaryâ€"like, a credit to themselves, the King, the Country and the School. The holiday was fully taken adâ€" vantaoge of as students had their last big fling before the exams.. Among the numerous events were breakfast hikes, tennis matches, and group picnics. The next big event for the army cadets will be their annual inspection to be held early in June. PICNIC The Hiâ€"YÂ¥ and Triâ€"Y had their annual picnic at the Buffalo Ankerite lodge the evening of the 24th. Alâ€" though things were not scheduled to commence until seven o‘clock most ocuples arvrrived sometime during the afternoon to tscke full advantage of the warm sun and fairly warm waters. / Many took their first dip of the sesson and reported that the water was not too bad. None remained in. however, for any great length of time! The remainder of the afterâ€" noon wss taken up with hikes and ball games. About seven . o‘clock several hungry individuals comâ€" merced to light the fires in preparaâ€" w h o ax:e organizing the different games to accomodate the member, see them. mer evenings which is a good idea and C.

Veitch and Mrs. L. H. Hanâ€" on of Matheson motored to Timmins Tuesday on a business trip. For the past two months children in Matheson ‘have been off school in quarantine with the mumps Last month Mrs. L. Mills contracted the mumps from her children; this week Mrs. F. Draves did the same thing. The one thing that makes it awkward "_Mr. G. O‘Shaughnessy returned to Matheson after spending the weekâ€" end at his home at Bancroft, Ont. is the fact that they get the mumps first on the side and in some cases two weeks later the other side. Mr. Victor Quelich (SC); There are just a few comments, Mr. Speaker, that I wish to make at this time. There is no doubt that the veterans organizations across Canada will be glad that at last we have granted entitlement to the war veterans allowance to former members of His Majesty‘s forces who fought prior to 1921 and who have been resident in Canada for twenty years or more. The act, however, goes beyond that and also includes former members of foreign powers who fought with us in the wars before 1921, but against us in the last war. Quelch And Green Say $$$$ For Vets I am not opposing the proposal to make the war veterans allowance available to men of foreign powers, even though they may have fought against us in the last war. I feel, however, that before we bring in that group of men we should make more adequate provision for our own men who are receiving the war veter. ans allowance; and by that I mean that we should increase the amount of the war veterans allowance from $40 a month to $50 a month in order to put it on a level with what is paid under the Old Age Pension Act REAL ESTATEâ€"INSURANCEâ€"MORTGAGES Room 3 Gordon Block, Pine St. N.

But more especially I feel that the time has come when Britain should be declared a theatre of war in world Mr. Haward Green (PC); The old agoe pensioners are getting more, in at lsast two of the provinces they are getting $10 a month more than the veteran caon get; in fact, it means‘ a good deal more than that in the case of the married veteran. The single veteran in British Columbia gets $40 a monthâ€"to be exact it is $40.41â€"and the single old age pensioner gets $50. Mr. Gregg: Not all your, old . age pensioners get that. Mr. Green: The veteran without any other means gets $40.41, while the old age pensioner without any other means gets $50. Mr. Gregg: Not all of them Mr. Green: In British Columbia. Mr. Gregg: Not all your old age pensioners in British Columbia gSet $50. THURSDAY, JUNE ist, 19850 _ _Mr. Green: I think the minister is wrong; I believe they all do.
