342 _ Legion Preparing for Poppy _ Day and Memorial Servnce The Poppy Day, Saturday, Novemâ€" ber 9th, is the day on which every citiâ€" zen should wear a popy. A special effort â€"is to be made this year to reach a set objective. During the past year over ‘$1,000 has been expended to those in need among the returned soidiers and their dependents in this town and immediate district. The money to be taken in on Poppy Day will be placed in the relief fund of the post of the Canadian Legion. Wear a poppy on Saturday, November 9th, and help this very worthy cause. The A. J. Shragge trophy will again be up for competition for the best memorial window in Timmins and disâ€" trict. It is advisable at this time to istate that in the window displays only the present year‘s wreaths may be used. The 1929 wreaths are all of new ‘gesign, and so previous year‘s wreaths will be easily recognized and their reâ€" moval requested. To prevent this hapâ€" pening orders should be placed now, so that all may have the 1929 memorial wreaths ready for the window displays for the trophy competition. .. The Canadian Legion, Timmins POSt, Lope to make Poppy Day this year, and y the Memorial Service on Armistice Day surpass all previous records in every way. , Poppy Day will be Saturday, Nov. 9th A new and better line of memorial wreaths have been made this year, and once more the ladies of the Canadian Legion will canvass the business men and others to purchase a wreath. The wreaths are made by disabled veterans oi the great war, so the money for the wreaths goes to the very worthy cause of giving employment to those returned sc¥€iers who are not able to take up work reqw‘ring any particular physical effort. Only the very badly disabled ve:erans are employed in the wreath ‘ gepartment of the Vetcraft Shop, anad | the money from the sale of the memorâ€" iz2! wreaths not only gives these men emplsyment, but a little extra to th2ir in the way of additional necessities of life. Many are the storâ€" ies of hardship in some of the families comcerned, and it is hoped that thisl year Timmins will again be one of the towns of Canada to be at the top of l the list in the sale of the memorial wreaths.

There were two outstanding addresses, one on the history and dlaw regarding insurance and the other on Sweden and its people and industries. and his address was both entertainâ€" ing and instructive. ‘His talk on early insurance plans was most interesting while his review of the feature of modâ€" ern insurance policies was equally inâ€" structive. During his address he quoted Hon. R. B. Bennett, leader of the Doâ€" minion Conservative party, who in an address to a company of insurance men had said that if all Canadian inâ€" surance companies closed ‘their books and business toâ€"morrow not a single policyâ€"holder could lose a dollar as the law was such that all insurance was fully guaranteed.

The former is sung and danced ‘to by Tom‘ Patricola, who has originated a new dance of the â€"same name, and ‘Bubbles Crowell.: The latter number is presented by an ensemble of college boys. One of the specially amusing points made by Kiwanian Lang was that in early days in England, any applicant for insurance who said he was a teeâ€" totaler was refused insurance, being considered as so abnormal as to be unâ€" trustworthy. ‘This stand â€"of the oldâ€" time English insurance companies had induced the temperance people to found an insurance company of their own in which only teetotallers were insured.

The other speaker for the day was a% visitor, Mr. Loffberg, a representative. ‘of the Swedish Steel Co. The Kl-} wanians were delighted with the very pleasing and informative address by Mr. Loffberg who gave much interesting and useful information relative to his native country, Sweden. Mr. Loffberg said that the country from Windsor to Timmins seemed to him to be very much like his own,Sweden in its apâ€" pearance and contour, so he felt, at home and among friends. He referred rto forestry as Sweden‘s chief industry \and gave many interesting facts and figures in this regard. In Sweden forestry and its allied industries were very carefully organized on scientific basis. Like the North Land Sweden also knew something of mining. Mr. Loffberg referred to the mining actiâ€" vities in Sweden in the 15th and i6th centuries when 75 per cent. of the revâ€" enue of the crown of Sweden came from the copper mines whichâ€"are still working. The company Mr. Loffberg represents works five iron mines which have been working since 1668. Mr. Loffberg also made many interesting references to the Swedish match indusâ€" try which a monopoly of the match industry in many parts of the world. Mr. Loffberg was the guest of Mr. A. T. H.

Many applications for charters were turned down as the Government was very particular in regard to the character of the directors and organizâ€" ers as well as the financial standing of the proposed new firms. Mr. Lang‘s bright and informative address was very much appreciated. . 3 s ) To i oC ic a ) ut t : Oone Armed Driver: What‘s the chu-ge your Honour? ‘"Judge: Driving while infatuated.
