Cole, mining inspector, of / South Poreupine, was one of the hundred or more soliders‘ representaâ€" tives atb the organization meeting of the Ontario branch of the Canadian Legion held at London, Ont., last week. The Legion is planned as. an amalgamation of all returned soldiers societies in Canada, and promises to be an unusually strong and successâ€" ful organization and of material adâ€" vantage to the soldiers and the counâ€" try. TO PROTECT AGAINST UNAUTHORIZED CANVASSING One of the subjects taken up by the meeting is of particular importâ€" ance to the public. The meeting conâ€" sidered the periodical canvassing of the country Iby persons representing themselves as, working for the reâ€" turned soldiers or for allied causes. Sometimes these canvassers were frandulent, and in other cases the collectors received more of the doâ€" nations than the cause did. The Legion has decided to prosecute all attempting fraud in this line, while all legitimate canvassers will be duly authorized and carry credentials showing their rights in the matter. The public should refuse to contriâ€" bute to any who lack the proper creâ€" dentials, and if this is done, the acâ€" tion of the Legion will be of partiâ€" cular benefit, guarding both the pubâ€" lic and the returned soldiers.
