FAGE THREE Bowmanville Daily Times Representatives Phone No. 53 0CAL VETERANS OBTAIN $1,805 IN BACK PENSIONS First Annual 'Report of Legion Adjustment Officer be straightened out when parlia- ment meets, The second problem which re- mains unsolved is that of the des- titute war veteran who is not a pensioner, but who is in urgent need of hospital care and treat- ment. There have been two glar- ing cases recently of men refused admission to Christie St. Hospital on a technicality. Legislation .is intended to express the will of the people, and surely it is not the will of the people of Canada that men who served honorably in defence of their country should have the SLOW TO LEAVE Although the sun is strong at each noontide, the snow has not been melting rapidly and there is still plenty of evidence that Old King Winter has not as yet retreat- ed to his far northern home, Few will be disappointed when he makes his final departure. and Mrs. Proctor was 72 on their - . -- - golden wedding day. ! { L0G Al ( WD uring the day they received : k M P * numerous congratulations from Stoc ar et rices friends and neighbors and a beau- HELD A MEETING omlor.

Martyn, Bowman- the stores of the city are making a Is Published The sum of $1,805 has been re- covered as back pensirv: )- cal ex-service me' in the report of It cael wotton, lo- cal adjustment officer of the Can-. Legion, given at the first an- 3dian Toglem The report covers operations for six months up to March 1st and reads: Comrades: I have been asked several times it there was justification for the formation of a branch of the Can- adian Legion in Bowmanville. I believe that apart from other acti- vities the Adjustment Bureau ful- ly justifies the formation of this Branch. We have to remember that the keynote of all the activi- ties of the Legion is "Service" in particular, service for the more un- fortunate of our members, the widows, families, and children. Anything we do for a member suf- fering from a disability we also do for his family. Work covered by me as Adjustment Officer of this Branch includes: Claims made 20; medical and surgical treat- ments obtained, 4; adjustments to pensions 3; letters written in re- gard to treatment and pension claims 46; files active at present time, 17; files closed, 3; back pen- sions recovered, $1,805.00; annual pensions re-instated and establish~ ed, $680.00 per year. This is only the beginning of the work to be done in this district. Fach year we yall have men break- ing down in health, the breakdown be attributable to war service, age will be a great factor, the years of stress and strain will have to be paid for. There are many vexa- tious problems to be solved, one of the chief being the hearing of 'claimants. The adjustment Bureaus are full of cases awaiting a hearing, and this breakdown of the Pensions' system is so obvious that every day one may read in the daily press the feeling of the people of Canada and their disappointment. One does not need to prophesy to say that our comrades will soon be back in Ottawa determined to 'have conditions remedied. For weeks scores of war veterans have been waiting patiently for the new pensions tribunal to hear their cases. For months, in many cases pension decisions affecting many men, women and children have been held up, because of the fact that the new pensions .machinery, while excellent so far as it gzoes, has proven utterly inadequate to the burdens placed upon it. A note from Ottawa telling that over 20,000 pension cases are awaiting a hearing is sufficient evr- dence that the machinery avaliable is totally unequal to the task of dealing with the situation, and that one of the duties of parlia- ment, at the coming session will be to provide for an extension of the machinery. At the present rate of hearing, cases, many years will elapse be- fore thousands of cases now wal ing hearing can he heard by the tribunals, Meanwhile the rate of mortality among war veterans and particularly war veterans suffering from disabilities, is increasing. Hundreds of those now disabled, and waiting for pension hearing will be dead and buried long be- fore their cases are called, It can- not be otherwise, and during the period of waiting either for a hear- ing or for death, these men are suffering from conditions akin to destitution, for it must be remem- bered that war veterans sre en- titled to no governmental assist- ance or consideration until they have been placed on the roll of pensioners. : This situation cannot be pleas- ing to the people of Canada, who, in their hearts, desire to see speedy justice done to every dis- abled man, every widow whose husband was taken from her by war disability. That is what must doors of the soldiers' hospital closed on them while their pension claims are waiting for a hearing. The veterans' representatives will be back in Ottawa this spring asking that the pensions machin- ery be greatly extended so as to provide more expeditious handling of the thousands of waiting cases and asking that provision be made for the admission to hospital of destitute and seriously ill veter- ans. There are broad hints in the press that politics are creeping in. to the-appointments of Pension Ads vocates. It would be fatal to the standing of any political party to have this happen. Both political parties were unanimous to the passing of the new pensions legis- lation, and in the ranks of the vet- erans are men of all political par- ties, all recognize that appoint- ments for administration of the Pensions Act should be made only of those who, are, by experience, properly qualified to act. In closing this report I wish to thank the Adjustment Bureau of the Ontario Provincial Command, Toronto, for the services rendered on the cases presented to them. They are working under great dif- ficulties as the result of the break- down of the pensions administra- tion services and at the same time the greatly increased number of cases daily being made, There is no doubt that more help is neces- sary to carry on the work. Again I express the opinion that the Adjustments Services of this Branch justifies our existence. This service is open to all ex-service men and women, members of the Canadian Legion or not members.

The attend- ance alone would warrant the oc- casion being called a success but the noticeable interest in all the work by the visitors assured Prin- cipal Johnston and his staff that ft was an outstanding success. Every- thing from handwriting to art and basketwork was on exhibition. Where it was seen that one pupil perhaps excelled in one subject or art, another excelled in another and so the genius appeared to be fairly well spread around. The handwriting proved a popu- lar attraction and a great many re- marks were overheard as to the fine type of handwriting that {s CARD OF THANKS Mr. Andrew Murison and fam- fly, Columbus, wish to express their sincere appreciation to their friends and neighbors for the many kindnesses shown them in the loss of wife and mother, and especially to thank any and all who helped open the road.

HOW TO LOSE 24 POUNDS OF FAT At the Same Time Gain in Physi. cal Vigor and Youthfulness and Swiftly Possess a Clear Skin and Vivacious Eyes that Sparkle with Health. Here's the recipe that banishes fat and brings into blossom all the natural attractiveness that every woman possesses. Every morning take one-half teaspoon of Kruschen Salts in a glass of hot water before break- fast, Be sure and do this every morn- ing for "It's the daily dose that takes off the fat."--Don't miss a morning. Kruschen dally means that every particle of poisonous waste matter and harmful acids and gases are expelled from the 'system. Modify your diet, and take gen- tle exercise. The stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels are tuned up. and the pure, fresh blood contain- ing these six salts is carried to every part of the body, and this PARISHES MAY UNITE An effort is being made to unite the Anglican churches ot Canning- ton, Beaverton and Sunderland, and to form one parish of the three. -- MADRIGAL SINGERS "This is indeed a lovely little chorus", is what Augustus Bridle in the Toronto Star says of the Madrigal Singers, who will be heard in King St. United Church on Thursday, March 19. at 8 p.m. Admission 25c.

AGAIN REMANDED Dimitro Krekeec appeared in police court this morning and was brave showing with spring goods. In spite of the slush underfoot and the grey skies over- head, we are daily reminded that the time will soon come when we may be done with goloshes, over- coats, red flannels, and all the other paraphernalia which burden our souls.

BENCH WARRANT ISSUED The name of Seymour Lloyd was called in the police court this morning but there was no response to the summons. In order to as- sure of his appearance a bench warrant was {issued for him. being developed in the local schools. Even the little people from the South' Ward in thelr ex- hibit showed a distinct style of writing which will one day ap- proach very closely to the teach- er's idea of perfection.' Every room in the school had something of special interest but perhaps the three outstanding die- plays were those in the classes of Miss Bragg, Mr. Conley and Prin- cipal Johnston. In Miss Dragg's room apart from the general dis- play of school work, an exception- ally clever Junicr Red Cross Ex- hibit was arranged. In Mr. Johnston's room a very fine display of art was noticed and a display of basket work made hy the girls proved an attraction. Mr. Conley's room was noticeable for its display of bird houses, some very original designs being on ex- hibition. Perhaps the most orig- inal, though not the most practic- able, wag that made out of an old rubber boot. In every other room there was something of exception al interest even to the little tots room where samples of their han diwork were on view. eet ett EXPERIMENTS IN CROSSING PLANT LIFE REVIEWED Evidence as to Causes and Processes of Evolution Discussed Montreal --Evidence that has come forward during the past ten years as to the actual causes and processes of plant evolution were discussed by Dr. O. 1. Huskins, professor of gen- etics in the department of botany at MeGill University, in a recent ad- HMustrations piven of this were from crosscs of primrose species, cross of cabbage by raddish, wheat by rye, blackberry by raspberry, and others. There is much evidence that this has been a fruitful method of species formation in plants, Very recently varieties of corn have been produced which will not give fertile progeny when crossed together because cach of the parents have lost a different piece of a chromosome. dress before the Canadian Society of Technical Agriculturists, . In the ycar M21 Bateson, of Tor- onto, said there was no doubt about evolution having occurred, but much doubt as to how it had occurred. This was scized upon by fundamentalists, who misrepresented Bateson's scien- tific doubts as to cause and argued that evidence was against it. - But since then there has been consider- able advance. In plants a dozen new species have been experimentally prog duced indirectly through crossin widely different species. Such a cross usually gives only sterile progeny, as Darwin pointed out, but if either ac- cidentally or by appropriate treat- ments -it can be made to double its chromosome number, that is to double the number of hereditary units it ob- tains from each parent, a new fertile species arises, This species is sterile when crossed with either of its own parents, Dr. Huskins added. \ il . = | Coming Events 3 Cents per word each in- 1 sertion.

Not only does a poorly drained farmyard harbor pools of stagnant water, where myriads of disease carrying insects find congenial breeding grounds, but wells in such yards become con. taminated and spread disease. Levelling, gravelling, and drain. age- of the yard, can readily be planned. This will cost little but when done facilitates labour in the barnyard, insures better health for both people and livestock and adds to the real estate value of the farm Suitable windbreak protection by means of trees is also of economic Importance. When placed at a proper distance shelter belts pre- vent snow from piling into the yard and break the force of storms. It has been stated that a good shelter belt around the farmyard makes a difference in our winter climate equivalent to removing south three hundred miles. Last, but by no meang least, buildings which are carefully kept and painted add much to the appearance of the barnyard. D. A.

What you need is RU-MA, and need it right now. RU-MA acts on the blood, stom- ach, kidneys and liver, and drives the dangerous rheumatic poisons from the system through the nat- ural channels of elimination--it eases pain the first day. You must use an internal medi- cine to free the joints and mus- cles of crippling stiffness, soreness and torturing pain. That's why RU.MA succeeds while external remedies and pain deadening drugs give only temporary relief, Jury & Lovell Ltd., says no mat. ter what kind of rheumatism you have. or how long you have suffer- ed, try RU-MA--it must complete- ly end all rheumatic agony or you get your money back.
