Let us show you the Samson Panelâ€" matic. ' The Western Ontario Adjustment Service gave for the Ontario Provincial Command the following information for the months of July and August. In July interviews totalled 421 letters written 1,936; docuuments copied 683 clinical exams arranged 29; relief arâ€" ranged 23; Fortyâ€"five pension claim successes on pension, retroactive penâ€" sion increased pension and pension for deceased comrades‘ dependants. Apâ€" proximately $20,000.00 has been paid in retroactive pension in connection with the above adjustments. Protection is assured for the future in all of these cases. In Augustâ€"Interviews totalled 411; letters written 1,878; documents copied 625; clinical exams arranged 24 relief arranged 17.« For August they have 40 pension claim successes. Pensions, reâ€" trcactive pensions and increased penâ€" sions and pension for "Mother" and pension for dependants. The adjustâ€" ments outlined above represent the payment of thousands of dollars to our disabled comrades and their depen- dents, while their future is made secure. In many cases, the cost of hospital treatment has been removed from municipalities to be borne by the Fedâ€" eral Government, while the onus Oof charity has been removed from the families of our comrades. Who can accurately assess the value of the above, nct to mention the day by day service cf cur Bureaux? Yes, the Legion is about the only post in a storm for the digabled, the friendless, homeless and burntâ€"out comrades of the great war. Men who gave their all, their lives, their future for what? Yes, to keep the old Union Jack fAyingâ€"but at what cost! Thrown to cne side by their country, often their employers, when it is found that they no longer can stand the daily toil for existence. Turned away after years of faithful service to their employers just because they are burntâ€"out, yes burntâ€" out by service for their King, their Flag, their Country and yes, burnt out keepâ€" ing the selfâ€"same employers safe and snug at home where it rained water, instead of metal. Many of the same employers were too old to give their services for King and Country, but in many, many cases they appear to be very. very harsh with men grown old by war service. Let them put themâ€" selves in the place of these poor unâ€" fcrtunate comrades. An 111‘ turn of luck, bad investments might reduce them some day to have to depend upon work for their living. How would they feel if they were thrown to one side as useless for further work. Things like this have happened to many who were in good circumstances and they can happen again. The employer in many cases bears ill will against a man who has the guts to get up and fight for the right to live in a country he fought and bled for. It‘s a good thing for the exâ€"soldier in Canada, in the British Empire toâ€"day that there are men who have the guts to get up and try to proâ€" tect their less fortunate comrades. These men toâ€"day are the backâ€"bone cf the Canadian Legion the backâ€"bone of the British Empire Service League, as they were the backâ€"bone of the British army during the war. . They often wish they could approach the employer and say well here we have anothsr burntâ€"out comrade, burntâ€"out in the service of King and Country, giving his all for you and yours, what can you do for him. The employer could say: "Well, I‘ve a few strong and able men, doing light work, that could be done by these poor fellows. Bring them along and I‘ll do my best." How words like these would help the Legion, help the men who are the backâ€"bone of the Legion, and also help Canada, help the British Empire. These men would be earning a daily wage that would keep them and their families, who are at present charges to the communities at large. The strong and able would replace those of "Red" principles; those who preach distrust, and speak ill of the employer of labour. There would be no "Red " parades, money earned in a community would be spent in that community instead of being sent out of the countryâ€"millions a year, to help a cause that is a detriment to us all. We should not have to beg like this for justice. The time has about come when we will quit begging. Every man in the Legion will enable us to cut out the begging, enable us to build up @ front line,.that will be good for the emâ€" ployer as well as the country. There is THE PORCUPENE ADVANCE, TIMMIN®S, ONTARIO CONISTON WOMAN ACCUSED OF MURDER OF HER HUSBAND Mrs. Sydney Albert McKee, aged 34, is held at Sudbury charged with the death of her husband, aged 40 years, recently a machinist in the employ of th> Internaticnal Nnckel Co. Accordâ€" ing to evidence given at the inquest last wesk the couple had been drinking and a quarrel developm»d, during which Mys. McKee is said to have thrown back at her husband a stove lifter that h> had thrown at her. Her aim apâ€" parently was more deadily than the man‘s for the ccroner‘s jury returned the following verdict in the case:â€""Alâ€" bert McKee died in the Copper Cliff nospital on September 12 as the result of bsing struck behind the left ear with a stove lifter thrown by Mrs. McKee during a quarrel in which they were both intoxicated. We note that 22 hours elapsed between the time the wound was inflicted and the time he was taken to the hospital." Mrs. McKee was committed for trial before a judge and jury when she apâ€" peared before the magistrate for preâ€" liminary trial.

MILLION DOLLARS EXTRA TN HUHIGHWAY WORK THIS FALL A million dollars‘ worth of new highâ€" way work will be undertaken this FPall with the object of relieving unemployâ€" ment, Hon. George S. Henry, Minister ~f Highways and Public Works, anâ€" iounsed last week at Toronto. During the Summer approximalé‘y 6 000 men were employed on road, ridge and culvert construction ‘hroughout the province, and the addiâ€" ‘ional work this Fall will provide jobs for a large number of these men who stherwise would be laid off. The cost of the work already let this year totals 5$7,500,000 and with the new contracts makes the total expenditure for the year $8,500,000. "Ordinarily this work would almost all have remained over until next year," said Mr. Henry. "It is very diffiâ€" cult to maintain highways tate in ths year on which grading, which comâ€" prises the bulk of the work, is going on. However, the travelling public, I am sure, will not mind a little temâ€" pcrary inconvenience in view of the fact that these public works provide many men with jobs." The work which is being advertised toâ€"day comprises some 6(@ miles iOf grading and culverts, five miles of pavement between St. Thomas and Port Stanley and two bridges at the evern and east of Arthur. The gradâ€" ing is as follows: Peterboro east, Brighâ€" ton north, Arthur east, Greenwood diversion, Norwood diversion, Paris east, Blyths diversion, Stoney Creek cutâ€"off, Gananoque to Seeley‘s Bay and Brookâ€" lin west. many an alien enemy of the country, that is taking the bread out of the mouths of many a returned soldier and also many a citizen of Canada. Their hours off the work are spent in plottâ€" ing against the Union Jack and what the Union Jack represents; men who would be better put on boat and sent back to that lovely country they preach about. It‘s time the citizens of Canada woke up and helped the exâ€"soldi‘ers to fight another big battle. The battle of life, the battle to keep the country that they fought and died for. If everyone puts their backs to the wall there won‘t be any room for our "Red" element. The sooner we do this the better. Don‘t forget the next General Meetâ€" ing on Sept. 28th at the Oddfellows‘ hall, and the dance at Schumacher on October ist. Sept. 29th should break all records as far as initiation of memâ€" bers goes. There will be a full house on this date, a sight worth seeing. Don‘t forget your cards, dues, etc. â€" The Secretaryâ€"Treasurer St. Mary‘s Journalâ€"Argus:â€"Those who step on the gas hardest are often goingâ€"nowhere. And later they are in just as big a Ttush to get back. So far this year contracts have been let for 230 miles of paving, 105 miles of grading, 12 bridges and several culâ€" verts. Among the mcore important bridge undertakings are those at Scarâ€" boro, Trenton, Waterford and Paris. WELLâ€"KNOWN RESIDENT OF GOBALT GALLED BY DEATH A. Zenon Trudell, one of the best known citizens of the Cobalt camp, died at the Cobalt Mines hospital early on Saturday morning, Sept. 13th. He was a man of original character and of more than usual ability. For a long term of years he took a prominent place in the left of Cobalt and his death will make a marked difference to the town of Cobalt in many ways. At the time of death the late Mr. Trudell was 67 years of age. For a number of years he had suffered someâ€" what from diabetes, but it was only few days ago that his condition beâ€" came serious. Last week it was felt that death was not far distant. He was removed to the hospital but despite all that medical skill and nursing care could do he passed away on Saturday morning about halfâ€"past two. A. Z. Trudell, Former Mayor and Proâ€" minent in Life of Silver Camp, Passes Away. Was Wellâ€"Known All Through the North The late A. Z. Trudell was a member cf the first town council at Cobalt more than 20 years ago and later he was elected mayor of the town on four sucâ€" cessive occasions. He was a member of the town council of Cobalt for this year. He had also served on the separâ€" ate and the high school boards, reâ€" signing from the latter body in 1928 to reâ€"enter the town council. A native of Hull, Quebec, Mr. Truâ€" dell lived in that city until he came north to Cobalt in the early part of 19086, when the bocom days of the camp were in their first stages. For a time, hs conducted a boarding house at COâ€" balt, later going into the manufacture of scoft drinks and becoming a lumber contractor. For the last few years hs had been living retired. an advanced age. While in Hull Mr. Trudell conducted a grocery store and the Phoenix Hotel. Coming to Cobalt he soon identified himself with the municipal life of the town. First electâ€" ed mayor in 1912, he continued in that ofitzse until the end of 1915. In 1924, he again ran for council and was elected, retiring after one year to come back again in 1929. He was reâ€"elected at th> municipal contest last December. In politics Mr. Trudell was strong Liberal. Mtr. Trudell was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Moise Trudell, of Hull, and his mother died only recently at Few men in Cobalt were more active in municipal matters than the late Mr. Trudell. He was noted for the enâ€" thusiasm with which he would enter a municipal contest. His death will reâ€" call to many one of‘the closest elections for mayor ever held in Cobalt, or in the North Land, for that matter. In January, 1924, he defeated Dr. E. F. Armstrong, the present mayor, by. the narrow majority of 11 in what was then a record poll. A protest against his election was upheld by Judge Hartman, but he was not disqualified and when he and Dr. Armstrong again ran, Mr. Trudell emerged victorious by 10 votes. In later years, he took an active inâ€" terest in school matters. Surviving are his widow and three sons, J. Hector Trudell, of Cobalt; Valâ€" more, of Kirkland Lake, and Emile, of Swastika. There are also three broâ€" thers and three sisters, most of whom reside in Hull The funeral was held this week from St. Therese church to the R.C. cometery at Mileage 104. The funeral was very largely attended and the floral and other tributes spoke of the regard in which the late Mr. Truâ€" dell was held by wide wireles not only in Cobalt but threughout the North. They might well "sublimate" their desire for a sun tan by picking up some of the new terms and words which mcdern interest in sunlight has brought into use. The pigment in the skin which affords protection against the sun is called "melanin." When it is unevenly manufactured and collects in spots, a freckle, or "lentigo," is preducâ€" ed. A morbid affinity for sunshine often to be observed at beaches, is known as "heliophilia.‘"‘ And a case of sunburn, in the language of the derâ€" matologist, is "erythma solare." Barrie Examiner:â€"A*prominent Lonâ€" don physician declares that the conâ€" tinued use of the lipstick by women and girls will ultimately result in many cases of cancer of the mouth. So, afâ€" ter all, lips may be as dangerous as they are painted. LOTS OF MONEY SPENT IN EFFORT TO GET TANNED (From The New York Times) Modern sunâ€"worshipers are ready to go through fire and water to achieve the glory of a tanned skin. They take to the ccean in droves and then sizzle on sandy beaches, patiently waiting for cld Sol to turn their complexions to the desired bronze or deep mahogany. Gradual weathering is the proper way to attain the coveted patina, but even this safe and apriroved method will not work with a born "heliophobe." "Every year 200,000 working days are lost because of illness due to sunburn, which represents an annual loss of $1.â€" 400,000." A large part of this sum must come from the pockets of ‘helicrthobes. If they will realize the futility of tryâ€" ing to change their skins, they will save time and money and escape sutâ€" fering. The word means simply a permanent blondâ€""an individual who is morbidâ€" ly sensitive to the effects of the sun‘s rays, and whose skin will redden, blisâ€" ter and burn, but never tan." Dr. Pabst, chief dermatologist at Greenâ€" point hospital, advises all helicphcbes to give up the quest for a bronzed skin as hopeless. SISCOE GOLD MINES TO BUILD FIFTYâ€"TON MILL ADDITION Following a meeting of directors 0o: Siscoe Gold Mines, Ltd., the announceâ€" ment was made that immediate action will be taken towards increasing the mill capacity from 100 to 150 tons daily. J. M. Forbes, managing director, stated that orders for the necessary equipment will be placed at once. Ths purpose oi the addition is to enable the mill to handle new ore developed from the system of veins uncovered in the wes:â€" ern workings of the property. Mytr. Forbes further stated that mining operâ€" ations were proceeding very well with recovery running at about $10.50 to the ton. PARTY OF FRENCH MINING sTUDENTS INX THE NORTH The North Bay Nugget last week SsayS : â€" "A party of five French mining stuâ€" dents arrived in North Bay on Wednesâ€" day evening and left Thursday mornâ€" ing for Timmins and other northern mining towns. The five students were sent out by the Government of France and are travelling under the ausprlices of the Canadian Pacific Railway. L. C. Monast C,.P.R. representative from Montreal, is in charge of the party. "The five men arrived in Canada on August 29 and will be visiting in this country for one month. They have alâ€" ready visited such cities as Montreal, Quebec, Toronto, Niagara Falls and Sudbury. It is expected that they will pass through North Bay on Sept. 13 on the return trip to Montreal."‘ Pembroke â€" Standardâ€"Observer:â€" In making every effort to save the life of the fireman Shouldice, who was injutrâ€" ed at Pembroke the C.P.R. have shown that large corporations have soulsâ€"all preconceived notions to the contrary, notwithstanding. Huntingedon Gleaner:â€"Thse scientist, Mr. Veraart, of Amsterdam, has sucâ€" crsded in producing artificial rain by dropping ice on clouds from an airâ€" plane. He fiew in a machine loaded with about 3,000 pounds of ice to a height of about 1500 to 2000 feet from the earth. He then dropped the balâ€" last of ice on a triangle formed by the towns of Malberberg, Marpen and Pamâ€" pas and produced a heavy drizzle of rain. The rain was spread over a surâ€" face of more than three miles. CANADIAN LEGION B.EK.S.L.
