We still have some prizes left from the first relief fund draw yet, consisting of a picture frame, and a large box of chocolates. We had rather an exciting This week we have twonew members, Comrades Clement and Elliott, and the president has two more applications fAlled in. I have two also which are not complete. Comrades Southam and myself were responsible for the two comrades named. ire even going to have a cocoanut shy, ind of course the ladies will throw it half distance to the men. Messrs Ache and Pain will keep the huge crowds expected alive and happy, as hese two Legion artists cannot be beat ‘or making everyone happy. .‘The house for the draw has now 2Â¥ card on the front and donations can be given at Comrade Elphick‘s house We have had cases where men will nsot work to support their families and in these cases we have to use stern methods, as there is nothing to stop any ableâ€"bodied man from working when work is provided. A man who will not work or make an attempt to support his family, gets little sympathy from anyone. ;It‘s bad enough to be out of work, without not working, when work is to be had. Each case is treated on its merits, and properly investigated and if help is required that help is given. If we did not carry on in this Wl L e ns 2 +s manner we would need the Bank of England behind us. The day of the election brought its joys and sorrows. Owing to a misâ€" spelled name one comrade had to take the oath and swear he was a British subject and had resided in Canada 12 months. This comrade had the badge The CanadianLegion in the Porcupine | THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARI of the Canadian Legion in his coat lapel at the time, a badge that is only cupplied to British subjects or men who have taken the oath of allegiance to King and Country. At election times these things will happen and generally to good British subjects. it makes a 'man feel pretty mean when he spent years overseas in the service of King ‘and Country, and then has to take an | {hne near HIiCiuUC jJI1jJCJ AiUiisg, W iAUAA | the buglers and have a drum and fife band. So all buglers get into line, see Pat and get a little practice before the Week of Wonders starts. ! Might I also add that we have reâ€" ceived word that good socks for gentleâ€" men and stocking for ladies, can be ‘bought from an exâ€"soldier‘s wife who is selling these ar ticles to supiport herâ€" ‘self and her children. These articles carry a guarantee and are to be had at a reasonable price. The president or oath before he can cast a vote, owing to his name being misâ€"spelled. I guess we would have all felt the same as this comrade felt at the time, so let‘s hope in the next election that the peoâ€" ple who come round for names can read and write English properly, as a man wearing the badge of this mighty worldâ€"wide organization should not have to take any oath, as he took the cath years ago, and should not have to do so again, owing to someone else making a mistake in his name. Perâ€" haps a few exâ€"soldiers going round next time there is need of taking names, would lessen the chances of names being spelt wrong. The bugle band has had a recess since Victoria Day and we hope to have them all lined up again for the big Week of Wonders. So all buglers get in touch with Comrade Cherry and get into practice again. We have only four weeks left and we want the bugle band to receive the same merit of apâ€" plause and comments, as they received during the sports in May. We may in the near future include pipes along with the buglers and have a drum and fife band. So all buglers get into line, see Pat and get a little practice before the carry a guarantee and are to be had at a reasongable price. The president or myself will be only too »leased to reâ€" ceive orders for these articles, the sale of which is helping a brave woman to carry on, and support herself and her family.

By the Secretaryâ€"Treasurer TRANSâ€"CANADA HIGHWAY BEFORE BOARDS Of TRADt called immediately with a view to reâ€" lieving the unemployment situation, is it reasonable to anticipate that some immediate action might be expected, | by the Diminion Government, relative | to this Highway i "If so, should we not be prepared to ’state our case fully, and if necessary, present it directly to Ottawa? i _"We feel that one of the most imâ€" ‘portant matter before the North at npxesent is the question of the Transâ€" Canada Highway. It must play ltremendous part in our future proâ€" ,gress and it is a matter of prime imâ€" | portance to us that it should go through our districts and thence West | from Cochrane. President Wright of Associated Boards Thinks Government May Move Highway Project, and Urges Boards to Study the Quesâ€" tion. C. W. Wright, president of the Northâ€" | ern Associated Boards of Trade, has | sent out the following letter to boards{ of trade in the North, the letter being | particularly timely and worthy of specâ€" l ial consideration : â€" "The next meeting of this Associaâ€" tion is to be held in Cochrane, some time around the 15th of September, but l the exact date has not as yet been deâ€" cided. Will you please consider and prepare any resolutions that you might desire to introduce to this meeting. If you will arrange to forward these as soon as possible, we will have necesâ€" sary copies made, and circulated to all Boards interested. Please give this matter your early attention. "In this matter, as in so many matâ€" ters of a public nature, it is the section or community that consistently advoâ€" cates its cause that eventually realizes its ambitions, and I feel that this Asâ€" sociation should take the lead in this matter, Sset the example, gather all available data, and if necessary, preâ€" sent the case to those who ultimately will have to deal with it. "Will you please do all possible to ensure the success of our Cochrane meeting, and arouse all possible interest in this matter of \fhe Transâ€"Calana Hishway." j introduce an unemployment insurance bill at its coming session. Trusting you will act upon and find a solution and lift this terrible strainâ€"i.e., fear of starvation amongst Great War Veterâ€" ans." This speaks for itself but the Government want to prune the immiâ€" gration, especially of foreigners to this country, for some time to come. Right in our midst we can see foreigners emâ€" ployed and exâ€"soldiers and other citiâ€" zens of the country out of work. There has been a number of exâ€"soldiers, and citizens let out of several industries and foreigners kept on. We have the case of four Britishers amongst a gang of twenty, and when it came to let out, the exâ€"soldier got his right away, and single foreigners kept on. We have the facts of this case and lots of other such cases,â€"facts that we do not hesiâ€" tate to publish, as publicity seems to be the only weapon that gets under and causes some employers to think and act. This branch of the Canadian Leâ€" gion will always expose any greased or wet trails that lead to employment and livelihood of the exâ€"soldier and the Britisher, or citizen of the country. As a good means to prevent this I would suggest that all employers look through their employment sheets and see why an exâ€"soldier or Britisher is left out and the foreigner kept on. Getting to the bottom of some of this stuf would help to clear up much graft, and backâ€"handed work, which we know has existed in the Porcupine from its early days. They should also take a look at these parades for "liberâ€" ty" and get rid of these people who are a menace to the employer, and the British Empire. There are lots of good exâ€"soldiers and Britishers that would be glad of work, Yes, glad of the chance to earn a living in their own country. Just a little word regarding dues and arrears. We have very few arâ€" rears out at present, and there are a few members who have not paid the second quarter, 1830. Just bear in mind that we are in the third quarter now, and arrears are arrears when all is said and done. There is no need in a good number of these arrear Ccases for the member to have any arrears, as many can well afford to pay their arâ€" rears. Any comrade cannot nold an office while in arrears. In conclusion we wish to thank the boys, who are striving so hard to get donations for the big drive. Such splendid coâ€"operation shows that we have the branch with us, and we also are thankful for the splendid support given by the people of the gistrict, to the Legion. So, save your coppers till fifty, then get a ticket in the as "maybe" your coppers will pounds, is the advice of â€"â€"The Secretaryâ€"Treasur you get big draw be worth rer Highâ€"Grade Samples from Week‘s Run of the Press London Titâ€"Bits:â€"Among the wax figures at Mme Tussaud‘s in London, there are many of prominent politiâ€" cians of toâ€"day, and in one of these an oldâ€"fashioned hatâ€"pin was discovered embedded up to the head. It was reâ€" moved, but next day two others were discovered in the same position. At one time, when those who practised "black magic‘ wished to destroy anyâ€" one, they made a wax figure in his likeness and stuck pins into it. This was supposed to have the effect of making the person concerned fall ii}, and unless something happed to break the spell, the illness would have a fatâ€" al termination. Huntingdon Gleaner:â€" James Y. Alexander, of Nottingham, England, dares the world to find a man or woâ€" man who is uglier than he. He claims that he cannot be matched, and invites a competition. All males or females above the age of 18, excepting circus freaks, are eligible. And in order that competitors may not waste their time he says he has a face like a monkey, the body of a human skeleton and a nose that sticks out like a wooden bracket. Toronto Mail and Empire:â€"Heywood Broun, the celebrated New â€" York Columist, will offer himself as a Socialâ€" ist candidate for Congress. His adâ€" mirers will hope for his success. He is not more eccentric than most other members of Congress and his liberal sympathies and original point of view ought to make him one of the most inâ€" teresting members of the House of Reâ€" presentatives. 7 604 Northern Ontario Building Toronto 2 Phone Adelaide 8354â€"8355 2e . s C s . s s i . i e i . e i . i ie e e i e e i e i s i i i i i i n i it io io io io iC iC 5.
