The time for this great event has now ar- . "rived, and while the expectations of those who knew what a Legion convention meant -* were high a year ago, the realization is far greater than the anticipation, for many ad- ded factors, not dreamed of then, have arisen to add color and interest to this great event. It is interesting, too, that the open- ing of this convention should mark the ' fifth birthday of the Oshawa Branch of the Canadian Legion. Five years ago, in August, 1926, a group of war veterans as- :" sembled in the council chamber, and formed this branch, which, in spite of its ups and downs, is today an aggressive and growing organization, and is showing its power by _- the splendid way in which it has organized ~._ for the convention. * * * % The annual convention of the Ontario Provincial Command of the Canadian Le- "gion is one of the notable gatherings of It is, in effect, the war ._ veterans' provincial parliament. War vet- erans, because of their disabilities and han- °° "dicaps, have problems which do not beset the average citizen of Ontario who did not gee war service, and it is in this veterans' "parliament that these problems are dis- -~cussed, and plans devised for making the "nway easier for those who have hard battles to fight to maintain an existence. There -+ are problems, too, of citizenship, in which 'the Legion interests itself, such as the ~--problems of immigration, unemployment, ="Empire trade and Empire unity, and these L or yo; il less fortunate than themselves. ¢ 4 aim is to build up an organization which * will perpetuate the ideals of those who gave show the wide scope of the Legion's effort. This week will, in some respects, be a period of education for those citizens of the com- munity who have only a faint conception of all that. the Legion means and does. * * * * The keynote of the Legion's constitution gg unselfishness, coupled with service. Its ders number in their ranks men in high in the business and professional life the province, men who have nothing to gain personally from their Legion affilia- "tions, but who find in it an opportunity for | expressing their ideals of service for those Their sole . Litheir lives in the supreme sacrifice for coun- try and Empire, and through that organiza- jon to serve Canada just as faithfully and , well in time of peace as they did in time | of war. That is why the Canadian Legion is sometimes referred to as Canada's great- est service club, and that is why it is show- ing phenomenal growth. * * * * The Legion convention of 1931 opens un- der happy auspices, with Earl Jellicoe, ad- "fmiral of the Fleet and grand president of the British Empire Service League due to yigit here on Thursday. This adds color and interest to the convention, and makes it the greatest ever held in the history of the Legion in Ontario. Oshawa will be glad to welcome Earl Jellicoe and his colleagues from overseas who are coming here for the convention, for every man who is coming has rendered distinguished naval or military service to the Empire, and stands forth as a leader in the particular part of the Em- pire from which he comes, . The convention opens under happy aus- pices, too, because of the splendid progress the Ontario Command of the Legion has made in the last year. At Hamilton, a year ago, it"was under a cloud, it was in difficul- ties, and it was determined to clean house. How effectively this has been accomplished will be seen from the reports to be present- ed at the convention, reports which indi- cate a tremendous growth in membership, a splendid improvement in financial' status, and a new spirit of enthusiasm for the cause on which the Legion has embarked. There will be contentious problems to be discussed, but all the discussions will be centred on the Jone aim, to promote the welfare of the or- tion, and to protect the interests of ose whom it serves. * * * * The citizens of the loyal and patriotic city of Oshawa are proud to welcome the Canadian Legion convention. The many ex- 'pressions of welcome to be found in the special edition of The Times which is pub- Jished today are proof of that. With the extending the i on i aid heartiest greetings of welcome to the con- vention and all who attend it, in express- ing the hope that it may be a profitable and pleasant occasion, and that when the time comes for them to leave, the delegates and visitors will carry away with them many happy memories of the Oshawa convention of 1931. THE FUTURE OF CANADIAN BUSINESS We should have more faith in the future and keep a few smiles for the good days that are coming. Nobody knows if'the situation is going to get better this year or next year, or if it has even commenced to get better, but it is an undoubted fact that we are go- ing to climb the hill of prosperity once again. Economic history makes this a cer- tainty. Many crises, less grave if you wish, have shaken the world before this one. They have passed by; why should that of 1930- 1931 endure ?--Chicoutimi Progress. POLITICAL INSINUATIONS How is it possible for the people to have any respect for their public men, how can they have any confidence in them, after all they hear said about them in the papers and in the course of public meetings? Insinua- tions and slanders are heard on all sides. We have nothing to gain and everything to lose in continually seeking to lower the level of our political conduct, and the people have lost the respect and confidence which they should have for those they choose to preside over their destinies.--Montreal Monde Cou- rier. UNEMPLOYMENT RELIEF We must lose no time giving work to our unemployed. The Government have now demanded and received the authority to spend, at such times or places as they wish, the sums which they think necessary to give assistance to the unemployed and the farmers. Quite independently from its con- stitutional aspect, this measure would ap- pear to be an extremely dangerous one. The Government takes upon itself the whole re- sponsibility of the situation. At any mo- ment whatever the unemployed may com- plain that they are not getting sufficient re- lief. Something should be done immediate- ly. If things are worse now than they were, it is the present Government, like the old one, which must bear the blame.--Ottawa Droit.

When the job was done the dentist said: Dentist--I'm sorry, Mr. Cooper, but I shall have to charge you five dollars for pulling that tooth. Mr. Al dollars! Why, I understood you to say that you only charged one dollar for pulling a tooth, Dentist--Yes, but this boy yelled so loud he fright- ened four other patients out of the office. Customer--Are these eggs really fresh? Grocer--Madam, if you'll step over to the phone and call up my poultry farm you will be able to hear the cackle of the hens that laid those very eggs. Socialist--After all, what is the difference between the rich man and the poor man? Bystander--The rich man has acute laryngitis and the poor man has a cold.

They are Mr. Justice W. L Walsh, Lieutenant-Governor of Alberta; His Honor James Dun- can McGregor, Lieutenant-Gov- ernor of Manitoba; Lt.-Col. H. E. Munroe, Lieutenant-Governor of Saskatchewan; and Hon. J. E. Brownlee, Premier of Alberta. These acceptances, added to the fact that H.R.H. Prince Sukho- daya, of Siam, will formally open the Gathering, will make the event one of the most brilliant of recent years. A feature of the programme this year will be the THAT the city that js awake to its advantages and resoftrces is the city that makes itself an attrac- |i} and | tive place in which to live make a living. The city that will attract new in- | dustries is the city that makes it- | self a convenient city in which to |. do business. Successful cities must be man- aged and directed just as any successful business must be man- | aged. A city Is simply a hig business; the management of its affairs calls for the same efficiency that makes a private business success- ful. A successful institution always has a regular inventory taken of all its assets. This is an absoluta necessity if a business wishes to maintain profitable operations. A business that shows a deficit at the end of each year for a period of years and is unable to reduce that deficit and goes on year after year with a heavier burden of debts would be regarded by any intelligent person as in a bad way, indeed. A continued increase in debt would make .it very evident that conditions require some drastic actions, more efficient manage- ment, a trimming of over-head ex- pense, a complete reorganization, or go out of business. TOO MANY PEOPLE WON'T TAKE THE TIME TO STOP AND THINK THAT THE STOCKHOI.- DERS OF A CITY ARE ITS TAX- PAYERS AND THEY MUST PAY SOME ATTENTION TO THEIR BUSINESS IF THEY EXPECT TO BE SUCCESSFUL. LONG VOYAGE NOT THE WORST Little Canadian Vessel Severely Buffeted by Waves London.--The voyage of the tiny yacht Amberjack across the Atlantic from Canada was a pleasure cruise compared with its experience in the race from Cowes to Fastnet and Plymouth, says its® owner, P. D, Rust, with whom sailed Henry K. Hil. Toronto, yachtsman and bro- er; The Amberjack was the smallest vessel in the race and after being reported missing it struggled into Plymouth Sound on: Wednesday, August 19. The crew were drimping for want of sleep as the vessel had been in acute difficulty and danger for five days. The water supply had been exhausted and there was a time when it seemed hardly possible that the crew could get back with their lives, The ship had bad luck at the start of the race, for she struck calm and made no headway for twelve hours, The weather then completely chang- ed, and when the Amberjack reached Fastnet Rock at one o'clock in the morning it was the wildest weather 1 Mr, Rust had ever experienced, " Princes, Governors and Premiers | inter-regimental piping competi- | tion between representatives of {the seventeen Highland Regi- | ments in Canada and there will also be the other bagpipe con- | tests and displays, as well as | dancing and Highland Games. | The Gathering is placed in one of the finest scenic settings in | the world, the beautiful Valley of |the Bow River, encircled by | mountains, and having, as the | centre of hospitality, the famous | Banff Springs Hotel built in | Scotch baronial style, fitting in | ideally with the general scheme of the Festival.

At one time 300 yards of re the First and Only Trip The fight with the weather lasted for six hours and Rust says, "At long last after such a night as I do not want to experience again we were able to shorten sail, and with reefs in the mainsail and a storm jib we crept out of danger inch by inch, all of us pretty well exhausted. The storm continued even though they got Fastnet Rock and the yacht was tossed about until the crew found themselves near Lundy Island. It was on Monday night that they were able to signal to the Port Reath pilot that all was well though they still had many difficul- ties to 'overcome. Rust said, "It seemed everything was against us. At every headland we passed tide was against us. On Tuesday we were delayed for hours by fog and all through the night it rained so hard we couldnt see the length of the boat. Toward the end of the voyage we got anxious about the water supply. It is strange but crossing the Atlantic we used 75 gal- lons and on this trip in the channel we used 85 gallons. We were reduced to drinking the juice from tinned fruit." The Amberjack sailed 890 miles though the course for the race is only 615 miles. She will be put on a liner to go back across the Atlan- tic. She was obliged to sail the east- ward journey, as it was only on this condition she was allowed into the race, as she is about six inches short of the regulation length for yachts, three unabated away from Bravery of Cook The Amberjack crew give the prize for conduct to an English sai- lor called Tom Davis who was ta- ken on as cook. He had never been on so small a yacht before. He stuck to his bid down below what- ever happened. He was tossed from side to side, had to juggle with the frying pan while grease spilled over and the fire kept falling out on the deck. He cracked one of his ribs but he never stopped work, cooking, making hot drinks and filling in spare time bailing water out with a bucket. He never knew what was going on upstairs, but kept smiling through everything and cheered up the rest of the crew. It seems that there is a serious shortage of women for women's jobs. Are they so busy filling men's? The young man of the family lives in sports togs for the sum- mer vacation.

The work of preparation, pursued steadily for months past, has suddenly assumed an air of reality which was inevit- ably missing while materialization of the foreign challenges remained doubtful, Along the mainland and at the many vantage points in the Isle of Wight arrangements are being made to accommodate the huge crowds which are expected to move into the regions adjoining the courses to watch the fastest vehi- cles ever constructed racing for the "blue riband of the air" ever Solent and Spithead. Grandstands are be- ing erected, car parks delimited, ca- tering schemes prepared, and the difficult traffic problems involved are engaging the attention of the police and local authorities at spe- cial conferences. On the water, mooring space for hundreds of boats, including ocean liners and scores of yachts, is being allotted at safe places around the course. Many people are expected to arrive by air, flying from all parts of Britain and the continent of Europe, and there will be accommodation for more than 1,000 land and marine aircraft at one or other of the aero- dromes and seaplane harbors on the island or the mainland. Meanwhile the racing teams con- tinue purposeful training. At Cal- shot, Desenzano and the Ftang de Berre the high-speed pilots fly daily, the foreign teams engaged actually in the last phases of preparation in home waters before proceeding to England Britain's New Racer Squadron Leader Orlebar, holder of the world's speed record and ad- ministrative chief of the British Schneider Trophy team this year, has made within the last few days first flights in the new racing sea- plane which is likely to lead the de- fending team, Two officers, 10 men and the new Italian racing 'planes specially built this year for the con- test are gathering at Calshot. Ftance has intimated to the Air Ministry arrival at Calshot on Aug. 29--fourteen days before the race-- of six racing pilots, attended by se- ven other officers and 67 service and civilian mechanics. Arrange- ments are being made to accommo- date nine French seaplanes, though only six of them may arrive in time for the preliminary training period in British waters. With three national teams appar- ently certain to compete, the con- test on Sept. 12 promises indeed a battle of giants. The starting gun will sound at 12.30 p.m. for the de- parture of the first machine, fol- lowed at intervals by eight other racing craft, over the course of 218 miles. Each nation will be repre- sented by three machines, and the order of 'starting will be settled by ballot at 4 meeting next weck of the special Schneider Trphy Committee of the Royal Aero Club. If design expectations be realized the winning machine will attain along the straights of the triangu- lar course a speed of nearly 400 miles an hour--between six and se- ven miles a minute. The last con- test, in 1929, was won at an aver- age speed of 328.63 m.p.h, and there is little doubt that this astonishing velocity will be considerably sur- passed. Piloted by men who are trained to the highest pitch of de- licate aeroplane control, the beauti- ful, streamlined racers will tear seven times round the 50-kilometres lap in a few minutes more than half an hour, moving at a rate of speed sufficient to cover the distance be- tween London and Edinburgh in one hour and to cross the Atlantic to New York in less than nine hours. A Gallant Aviator That the pursuit of speed far sur- passing any previously achieved by man is not without its dangers has received tragic proof in the deaths within the last few days of a French pilot and of Flight-Captain Monti, the handsome blond Italian who narrowly escaped mishap "in the 1929 contest. Then on Aug. 17, Lt. G. L. Brinton, the only unmarried member of the British high speed flight, was drowned when one of the Schneider Cup planes of 1929 that he was testing out plunged into the Solent. It was a severe blow to the British team, who nevertheless will go on with the task. Lieut. Brin- ton's life was the ninth that has been sacrificed in the Schneider Cup series on the altar of speed. The layman may wonder at the importance attached to a competi- tion which admittedly involves risk to pilot and machine. Perhaps the best 'answer is the renewed French interest in the contest. After a pe- riod of nearly 10 years in which she has played no part in tlie interna- tional battle for the Schneider Tro- | phy, France has again entered on the costly path of high-speed devel- opment. The results sought are the improvement of seaplane design and, above all, the realization of power- ful and practical supercharged en- gines. Such power-units are cer- tain to confer incalculable advan- tages in the building of service air- craft, a fact sufficiently demonstrat- ed in the present world supremacy of every class of British war 'plane, while even in commercial aviation the moderately supercharged motor is today coming into more extend- ed use.

Mrs. Sutherland who was a passenger in the car suffered slight cuts from the impact. It was stated that in attempt- ing to put his foot on the brake Sutherland's foot became jammed between the clutch and the brake pudals and in order to avoid strik- ing the car in front of him which hud come to a stop he drew out to the left and ran over the curb. Travelling at what eye-witness- es considered an excessive rate of speed J. E. Hamly, of Toronto, struck the rear of a car driven by Ted Marks, Simcoe Street north, at t¥e intersection of Simcoe and King Streets on Sunday evening, doing damage to both cars. Eye-witnesses said that Hamly approached the intersection as the lights changed and struck the Marks' car as it started to go across the intersection with the light in its favor, the car driven py Hamly striking the front of the Marks' car. The police were informed and took the names of the drivers and of several wit- nesses. OLD MONUMENT HIDES MEMORIAL Cornewall Memoriam To Be Moved From Abbey London--Westminster Abbey has often been called a poem in stone, but there are many people of dis- cretion who think its poetic quali- ties are greatly marred by the la- vish introduction, in comparatively recent years, of so much ponderous mernorial sculpture. Now comes the announcement that the Cornewall Monument is to be removed from the Nave "to another position in the precincts of the Abbey." In other words the Cornewall Monument is to be put into the Cloisters. Like many memorials erected in the Eighteenth or carly Nineteenth century, the Cornewall Monument has little except its size nowadays to recommend it. It was placed in the Abbey in 1774, to commemorate the action of, Captain Cornewall off Toulon. Where it' now stands it completely hides the War Memorial pChapel which is near the Unknown Warrior's tomb, and those who wisi to enter the Chapel must squeeze through an 18-inch opening. In place of the Monument there will be erec- ted a fine screen of wrought-iron, in which will be incorporated the bronze sword and shield presented by the City of Verdun to the City of London in 1930. Theer are many other memorials in the Abbey which could be re- moved without loss to the beauties of the Abbey itself. The Wolfe Memorial, for instance, is a pond- erous piece of marble of little ar- tistic merit. It represents the dying hero sinking into the arms of a gre- nadicr, his right hand. pressing his mortal wound. The grenadier i pointing out the Goddess of Fame hovering overhead, and in the back- ground is a mourning Highlander. The inscription on the Monument is a very wordy one. In the Great War this Monument, so to speak, came to life. Canadian battalions, on leaving England for France, de- posited their colors there. When the battalions, or rather what was left of them, returned from the War, they went again to the Abbey and reclaimed the colors. To per- petuate this a couple of Canadian colors were presented a few years ago to hang for all time over Wolfe's Monument. 1s A wife's "dream of a frock" often turns out to be a nightmare for her husband when the bili arrives, Always ifresh -- because he keeps his mouth fresh, with WRIGLEY'S.
