Minister of Public Works states:â€""I have yours of the 16th instant stating that the Timmins Branch, Canadian Legion would like to know if it would be possible to secure a room in the y of z new post office in Timmins similar to 25â€"27the one enjoyed by the Legion at Sudâ€" Timâ€" at Phones 273â€"Fâ€"2 and 297 L 2 4 d We had one application this week secured by Comrade Southam. We are pleased to have Comrade Gledhill with us as a member of the branch. I had a letter from Comrade Benyon this week as follows: "Received card and badge for which I thank you,â€" and also for your straightâ€"forward business in the way you handled my application." It is a pleasure to know that the branch is respected even away at the Abana mine. This week I have to announce that we have secured the skating rink for a week from Sept. 1st to Sept. 6th. We intend putting on a real carnival with midway attractions, home cooking conâ€" tests, in other words a real Legion week, that will long be remembered in the Porecupine. More particulars will be Porcupine. announced later Ee Canabian Kegtorn in the Dorcuptite By the Secretaryâ€"Treasurer. PHONE 112 Residenceâ€"PHONE 135 "The Timmins branch of the Canaâ€" dian Legion has forwarded a very strong protest to these headquarters regarding the action of your departâ€" ment which has resulted in the comâ€" petitions recently held by the Civil Serâ€" vice Commission in connection with the caretakership of the post office at Timâ€" mins being set aside in order that the bilingual qualification might be includâ€" ed in the advertisement for a subseâ€" quent competition. It is understood that several exâ€"service men were deâ€" clared qualified when the first compeâ€" tition was comupleted and that one was about to be appointed. The introducâ€" tion of the bilingual qualification this stage, in connection with posiâ€" tion which requires no public contact, has aroused great deal of unfavorâ€" able ccmment and led to the feeling that efforts are being made to place some individual in an advantageous position in relation to other confpetiâ€" tors. > It is urged that the appointment should be made in accordance with the results of the competition just comâ€" pleted. May we ask you, therefore, to I:indly have the action complaimed of reviewed in the light of what has alâ€" ready transpired in the first competiâ€" tion, the unlikelihood of the bilingual qualification being essential and the unfavourable impression created." This letter was sent as a result of our efforts to keep favouritism out of the position and support the exâ€"soldier. The Public Works Department is inâ€" clined to do nothing in the matter and passed this letter over to the Civil Serâ€" vice Commission, who state since the request came from the Department of Public Works, the responsibility for the change must rest with the department. In the first competition a bilingual exâ€" soldier applied and is regarded as being qualified. A civilian is being pushed by the Liberal and Frenchâ€"Canadian eleâ€" ments, who is a French Canadian, but he is not an exâ€"soldier. bury, and will be pleased to have the request looked into by the departâ€" mental officials and see whether it is possible to arrange to meet the wishes of the Canadian Legion." This is signâ€" ed by J. C. Eliott. One moreâ€" from our Dominion Comâ€" mand at Ottawa, sending a copy of letter sent to The Hon. J. C. Elliott. Our Ottawa office advises us that as we haveetwo exâ€"soldiers who are both bilingual qualifying, they cannot see how any civilian can be placed ahead of them without failing him in the examinations. As one of the exâ€"service men had qualified in the first compeâ€" tition "and was bilingual" at that, the Civil Service Commission hardly dare make the appointment of any other but an exâ€"service man. A little bird whispered in my ear last week who has the inside dope on the situation that there was only one man who had the say about the appointment but he was between the devil and the deep sea, and if he backed the exâ€"serâ€" vice man, well, he would lose other backing, which was greater than the exâ€"service men could give him. As this person is in the right position to know what he talks about, I am inclined to think that someone is using a whiteâ€" wash brush with two different colours, one for himself and one for the Legion. Anyhow, we will soon know who has the appointment, so we will wait and see. One moreâ€"regarding the having volâ€" leys fired at the gravesides of exâ€"serâ€" vice men. The whole question of offiâ€" cial recognition of funerals of exâ€"serâ€" vice men is at present under consideraâ€" tion. It will be necessary to conduct a considerable amount of research before the matter can be taken up officially with the Government on the Departâ€" ment of National Defence. However, efforts are being made in this direction, so that a report will be forthcoming, upon which action can be based. In the meantime we must do the best we can as each individual case arises. This is also from our Ottawa office. As we have no meetings till August these letters are published so that the comrades can see that the officers of the branch are still at work for the good of the branch and the exâ€"soldier. I had an interesting letter from the Ontario Provincial Adjustment Service stating that the month of June has been the most successful in our history and a number of pension claims which have been the subject of representaâ€" tions for years have finally been estabâ€" lished. A glance at some of the cases would astonish many and would unâ€" doubtedly convince members of the Leâ€" gion everywhere of the tremendous amount of effort necessary to obtain success. Interviews were 416; letters written, 1878; documents copied, 712; clinical examinations arranged, 34; and relief arranged, 27. The pension claim successes for June amount to 47 cases which represent the payment of thouâ€" sands of dollars to disabled comrades and their dependents. They have brought happiness into many homes and removed a dread burden from our sick comrades, whose future is now protected as well as" that of their deâ€" pendants. In many cases they were the objects of charity, but are now enâ€" tirely free of that stigma. A few words about our dance on July ist at Schumacher. We had a record crowd of patrons which included many exâ€"service men. The refreshments by our organization is accomplishing, and those who are not members of the Leâ€" gion should also feel proud that their exâ€"soldier comrades, who have the guts to join the Legion are still putting up a strong front line and attacking with success, and their coming into the Leâ€" gion would strengthen that front line, and we could attack oftener, with good results. Who can estimate the true value of the above? Every member of our Leâ€" gion has a right to feel proud of what THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO the Ladies‘® Auxiliary were of the usual brand (the best) , many favourable comments being overheard of the splendid quality and quantity of the refreshments served. We are indeed grateful for the splendid help given by the ladies of the Auxiliary towards the branch. The Club Royal orchestra exâ€" celled themselves. There was not one dull moment from start to finish. As our friend, Ike Solomon, said:â€"*"You sure had a good crowd and you sure deâ€" serve it." There will be another of these splendid dances on Wednesday, July 16th at the McIntyre hall. Tomâ€" my Stephens will supply the music this time and there will be the usual lucky door prize. The lucky winner on July Ist was Tim MacLennan. We are also having a dance in the Oddfellows‘ hall, Saturday, July 12. The Club Royal orchestra will supply the best of music and the price of admisâ€" sion is low, only 25 cents. So. everyâ€" body come and do your best foxâ€"trotâ€" ting for only a quarter. The draw for the relief prizes will take place on this date. The donations have been so wel! contributed that we felt we would duâ€" plicate the prizes announced on the ticket. There will be a lady‘s watch and the other twelve prizes will be a duplicate of the other twelve. I might add that the gentleman‘s watch was donated by Mrs. Chulak, one of the lady members of Branch 88. Comrade Fcrrester and myself purchased the lady‘s watch on behalf of the Legion and we can say it is a good two bits‘ worth. The Daughters of England received their cup as a special prize for the splendid float they had on sports day. This cup was donated by the Timmins Branch 88 of the Canadian Legion, as the float was so well got up, that a little momento from the Legion would be at least a little reward for the amount of work in getting up the float. I had the pleasure of hearing from Comrade J. A. Caveney from Sandy Falls this week. Comrade Caveney is miles away but a staunch supporter of the branch. All our comrades miles away, are a splendid asset to the branch and the Legxon and it is a plea sure to hear from them. I had a nice letter from Comrade Panielson thankâ€" ing us for what we had done for him when he needed our assistance. Comâ€" rade Danielson is out of hospital and is at work again and states he hopes to be in Timmins sometime this sumâ€" mer. Our Provincial Command enclosed 100 application forms this last week in a parcel without asking so they think we are using lots these days. We sure are and we keep looking for the appliâ€" cation forms of those who have proâ€" mised serveral times to join us, but promise is as far as it gets, but we still have hope. We not only promise, but we go through with the promise. It is quite nice to see so many exâ€"service men around the camp, and the indusâ€" tries these days. We have a good samâ€" ple of the exâ€"soldier come into town and start work lately. Men who want to work and make an home for themâ€" selves. Some have joined the local branch and they are not afraid to tell people that the Legion was a great help to them, in many ways. They now know what real Legion spirit is, what the Legion has done, and will do for the exâ€"soldier. J. R. Newman, Assoc. LRE.

COLLECTIONS NOT VERY GOOD IN KIRKLAND LAKE Apparently Kirkland Lake is becomâ€" ing too civilized, or southernized, or whatever the proper term may be. This is shown in one respect by the collecâ€" tions taken up At baseball games. Kirkland Lake finds it necessary to take | up a collection, rather than charge a regular admission fee, on account of | the situation and conditions of its| available ball park. Before the fence' was put arcund the Timmins athletic | park, the sports in this town had to deâ€" phnd upon collections and for a long time fared pretty well that way. Latâ€" er, it was found that the southernizing or civilizing process had gotten in itsl deadly work and so regular admission | fee had to be charged. There were enough good sports who would conâ€" tribute well to a collection, but there were a lot of others who. were not so good. The chief complaint here was against certain classes of foreigners who seemed to think they could stand | arcund and enjoy sports of any kind, but who could not understand either the simplest 6r the most sulphuric sort of English when the collection hat was. passed. No matter who passed the hat, these fellows would pass it up. In a recent issue The Northern News touches upon a somewhat similar state of affairs toâ€"day at Kirkland Lake. The North@orn News believes the only reâ€" medy is an enclosed field. This is what Timmins found to be the case, for alâ€" though the generosity of some may be fully de;tnded upcon there are others who simply will not play the game when the collection plate is passed. In referring to the matter The Northern News says:â€""Five hundred people witâ€" nessed a mighty nice baseball game last Wednesday between MciIntyre and Kirkland Lake at the school greunds. five hundred excited fans who had a real thrill. That is to say, a thrill with the exception of the time the hat was passed for a collection to pay for the expenses incurred. Five hundred people donating 10c each for a 50c ball game would drop just $50.00 in the hat. But five hundred people did not drop in a 10c piece each. A large number of them gave 25¢. Some gave 50c and considered the game well it. The greatest number of coins were the new Canadian five cent piece. Figuring it out there were as many people who did not give a nickel as there were who donated to the fund. lThe total collected was under $60. | Baseball costs money. In late years public spirited citizens have dipped down in their own pockets to finance team in Kirkland Lake and they canâ€" not be expicted to do that indefinitely. | It is up to the fan who enjoys the game | to pay his bit towards the heavy exâ€" penses of financing a ball team. The only remedy apparently is an enclosed field and it is hopmd that when the new High lSchool grounds are completed a fence ' high enough to act as a protection will be built around them. In the meanâ€" time sport will have to carry on as | best it can trusting to the generosity of the fans who turn out." ! The Haileyburian last week says:â€" "Two drownings, one of which at least was directly attributable to the floods last week, occurred on Friday lass. One victim was Earnest Harper, aged ‘ 51, of Peterboro, who lost his life in a branch of the Wabi River in Kerns township, when a number of horses he was endeavouring to lead across the stream became »alarmed and dragged him into the deep water. Six out C: ! the seven animals also perished. There were no eyeâ€"witnesses to the tragedy, but police who investigated believe that Harper, who was driving a team and democrat and leading the other horses, tried to cross the stream, although the bridge had gone out. His body was recovered on Saturday and the coroner at New Liskeard, Dr. McCullough, and Crown Attorney Smiley, K.C., were ‘ notified. No inquest was held. The second Growning victim was Lucien | QOuimet, of Hawkesbury, who was workâ€" 'i’ng at the power development at the Upper Notch. While working on the dam he lost his footing and fell some distance into the waters of the spillway. He was carried away in the rush of the ‘river and his body has not been recovered. Two brothers of Ouiâ€" | met who was only 19. also work at The | Notch and his father and another broâ€" ther came up on Sunday after being Inotified of the tragedy. Men from the | scene stated this week that there apâ€" | pears to be small hope for any imâ€" | mediate recovery of the body, as the | rush of water is tremendous and it may have been carried a long way down i stream."
