Later, he said, at a post elec- tion celebration in Whitby, he had three drinks before going home. He said he became sick in the police cruiser because of "Emotional upset and worry".

However, he said, the accused has ho respect for his family or anyone else's chil- dren, or he would not go out drinking and make a fool of himself, The magistrate added if it had not been for Russell's children, he would "'certainly have sent him to jail, or have imposed a heavy monetary penalty".

Comrade Searle said he was very proud of all that had been done by those ;|who had striven in the good work. In a reference to current con ditions he said that Canadians did not pay sufficient attention to the memory of those who had died for their country. He stated that a continuation of this attitude would hamper Can. ada and hinder the rise to her destiny. In conclusion Comrade Searle reminded his listeners that the strength of Legion lay in the in- dividual branches and its mem- bers. - AUXILIARIES Star Plans Fall Bazaar Whitby Chapter No. 248, Order of the Eastern Star, was held in the Masonic Hall with Worthy Matron Mrs. Louella Cook presiding in the East.
