C. P. Gilman, M.C., of the Dominion Service Bureau, Otâ€" tawa, brought forth very favourable comments at Dominion Headquarters, as well as Toronto where our rate of progress is being pointed out as an example to be followed. The followâ€" ing appears in ‘*The Legionary‘‘ for March :â€"‘*‘ ~The annual general election of offiâ€"| cers at Tlmmms Post No. 88 resulted as follows : President, 8. R. Harrison, M.R.C.S., LR.CP.; First viceâ€"presiâ€" dent, Austm E. l\eamc, second viceâ€" president, Dr. A. S. Porter, M.C.; executive committeeâ€"H. C. Garner, M.C., W. 0. Langdon, F. J.

Dye, Vipond Mines; John Knox, Hollinger Mines; G. A. Maodonald editor of The Adâ€" vance; E. L. Longmore, Mayor of Timmins; C. G.

Kenning, M.LA., the popular member of the Proxmclal House of Parliament, the Crown attorney, 8. A. Caldbick ; the president of the Tun-| minsg Board of Trade, W. 0. Langdon ; and many others of note in this North Land, so that our progress in the one short year of our existence is good, and is going to be better. We hopc soon to reach 200 members. b\elyl week we run a news letter in The Adâ€" vance, the primer paper in this district, so that we keep up a ‘‘line of Lommumcatmn, to use a military phrase, with our members, and find that the publicity so obtained is very valuable to us in, that it helps to keep The Legion continually in the public mind, and is well worth the trouble of “I‘ltlll”‘ We have one of our members resident in Toronto, Colonel J. 4. Wright, D.8.0., and we sure like him, too. Ii there are any more Toâ€" 1onto veterans like this optimistic and intensely nnpendh\tm memhm of ours â€"well, send ‘em North.‘ We are glad to notice among the advertisers in the ‘‘Legionary‘ ° the following:â€"The.

THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Whilst writing of ‘‘The Legionary‘‘ â€"I received a letter from the editor in which he stresses the value of pubâ€" licity to the legion, either by adverâ€" tisement or by news itemsâ€"in order to keep the legion continually before the public. And I know it! STRAIGHT TALK ABOUT DEALING WITH PENGIONS Red Tape Has Been Keeping Soldiers From Receiving a Sqyuare Deal. Col. Hunter‘s Report. The hundreds of returned men in this district,â€"and the hundreds of others also interested,â€"will find much to think over in the following paraâ€" graphs under the heading of ‘‘0â€" Pip,‘‘ in the current issue of The Legionary, the official organ of the Canadian Legion :â€" It is doubtful if the heaps of reâ€" ports on a thousand and one matters which have been issued under blue covers â€" from â€" Federal â€" Government presses at Ottawa, have anything to compare with the volume just issued and in which certain political activiâ€" ties within the Department of Solâ€" diers‘ Civil Reâ€"establishment _ are The usual dryâ€"asâ€"dust verbiage of such reports is replaced by such subject in examining the text. One might describe Col. A. T. Hunâ€" ter‘s report as Disraelian in its disâ€" regards of conventional forms and phrases, though the lapses into the vernacular go far beyond that of the great Victorian. Take for instance, this choice hbit : "‘I think this correctly represents the attitude of Dr. Arnold, since he joined the D.S.C.R. _ Sitting pretty as a partisan cuckoo in the departâ€" ment nest, and to hell with the veterâ€" ans."‘ While the major part of Col. Hunâ€" ter‘s report is devoted to an expose of alleged political activities, mostly on the part of highlyâ€"placed officials, he offers some very pertinent observaâ€" tions on the general attitude of both D.S.C.R. and Pension Board officiais towards the people whose interests they are supposed to have at heart. Regarding the man applying for treatment the report says : general attitude towards him seems to be one of hostility. _ The doctors to whom he applies for admisâ€" sion are less interested in his physical torments than in some doctrine as to his elegibility for pension. They are more concerned in jlooking at his file than at his tongue. His admission has become increasingly difficult in accordance with an exasperating sort of departmental etiquette.‘‘ There is no doubt that the Royal Commissioner put his finger unerringâ€" ly on the real problem in that senâ€" tence. Unit medical direetors of the D.S.C.R. seem to have been obsessed with a fear of increasing the numnver Che Canabitan in Cimniins News and Views of Legionnaires BY THE HON. SECRETARYâ€"TREASURER Well, «comrades, we have reached the 200 mark in membership numbers, and now let us go out wholeheartedly for all exâ€"service men still outside the legion. The president and officers of this post, as well as your humble serâ€" vant, beg of you all to make a very special effort this month to enlist all we can, in order to strengthen our hands in obtaining headquarters for the Post, and to secure from the Doâ€" minion Government all that we can justly demand for exâ€"service men and their dependents. Also, now that warmer weather is approaching, one‘s mind switches to canteens, and so to the canteen funds, where again addiâ€" tional numbers will help us to secure, if possible, our proportionate share of the benefits of that particular fund, the administration of which. in the hands of the trustees, has got to the stage only. I would suggest to the executive committee that we ‘‘liven up‘‘ our monthly general meetings by getting some good yarns and yarnâ€"spinners to attendâ€"we have not much routine business to attend to, everything goâ€" ing wellâ€"and a good joke is always enjoyed, even if it has whiskers on! We are glad to weleome Mr. W. Patrick, of the Timmins Laundry Co., to our ranks. _ Mr.,.Patrick, himself an exâ€"service man, has given us his help and support in the past, and with him we would couple the name of comrade G. H. Byrom, who is cerâ€" tainly ‘‘delivering the goods‘‘ in the way of new members. of men on the strength of the unit for treatment. _A large proportion of the cases arising toâ€"day in which The Legion and others are fighting for recognition of pension and treatment rights are of men who have been turnâ€" ed away repeatedly, when they have sought attention for their disabilities. The most unfortunate aspect of the situation is that many of these men have relched a stageâ€"where treatment can do little more than prolong life for a brief span, before being finally accepted as eligible. There are good reasons to ‘believe that the changes already effected in the D.S.C.R., and particularly in the medical services, will go a long way towards correcting ths most unnecesâ€" sary and undesirable state of affairs.

As will be seen by the estimates the appropriations made for roads and sidewalks are decidedly inadequate and so it goes through a greater porâ€" tion of the list. Everything has been pared down to the last minimum and even beyond that. It is high time that this vexed question be settled satisfactorily.
