This week we have some wonderful news. On Monday night we initiated 36 members and admitted 47 more into the branch, a total of 83, a record in the borchx)'ine.v Our presént strength amounts to 280 comrades.

Brown with us at the meeting. The hall was full, packed in fact. It was a meeting of meetings. Dues came along in grand style and we used up per capita stamps by the dozen. Presiâ€" dent Neame gave an address which covered our operations since October last year and also the details of events that we had put over since last May. Many matters were discussed that will be of great assistance to the branch. One of our lady comrades, Mrs. Chulak, paid us a visit during the evening but left before the meeting started. Mrs. Chulak has the privilegee of attending our meetings, and we have also another lady member who enjoys that privilege. There was some good singing after the meeting but I‘m afraid I did not have the time to write down particulars, as there was a steady stream to pay their dues, and get their cards stamped. We also had the pleasure of welcoming Comrades Wilson and Walkley back to the branch. The bugle band under Comrade Pat Cherry, made a tour of the town carrying our new banner which will be used on all Legion meetâ€" ing nights. As Pat says, "When we get the fifes along with the bugles, sure and jabers theyâ€"cannot resist us." So if playing members into the branch can be accomplished with a set of fifes, why it is a cheap investment. The enâ€" tertainment committee came in for a few words of praise during the presiâ€" dent‘s remarks, praise that they are justly entitled to, and no one but those who know realize what work these comâ€" rades put in to help along the Legion. I think everyone went home happy and content and full of Legion spirit. We hope, as the president says, to have every exâ€"soldier in the Porcupine in the Legion before long. A special feature discussed was the use of Russian coal so widely advocated in the district. The Legion points out that each shovelful of this coal used goes to help a cause which is a detriment to our country. Coal mined by convict Iabour, mined in a country, that has laws which are a detriment to the world at large! The proceeds help to distribute seditious literature in our country. It seems out of all reason that the Government should allow this coal to be sold in this country. Why not get Welsh or British coal or even our own Canadian coal mined under the British flag by Briâ€" tish labour. All good Legionaires and gocd citizens of the Porcupine should not use this coal. If there is no deâ€" mand for this coal there will be no sale for it. Another thing brought up the activities of the "Red" propaganda in the district. From now on these friends of Russian coal will be closely watched by the Legion in the Porcuâ€" pine. These people are content to earn a living under the Union Jack and they should not be allowed to preach sediâ€" tion under the good old flag we all fought for. A little help from emâ€" ployers of labour by not providing these gsentry with work would certainly stop a good lot of the activities of these fellows. We have a good friend in the person of the Hon. Wesley Gordon who knows the district and its people, and we can look to the Hon. Wesley Gorâ€" don for action when needed. We do not intend violence to these gentry, but we certainly intend to keep an eye on their activities. I had a comrade come forward with a â€"sad story which makes us wish we had a little more coâ€"operation from employers of labour. One lung burnt out and another affected this comrade finds work had to get. He could do a THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO The branch would be glad to hear of anyone who could place, this comrade. Burnt out by service for King and Country it is a shame that he should be cast to one side, after giving faithâ€" ful service for his King and Country. I think a job could be found for this comrade in some of our industries where the work would suit his burntâ€" out condition. As our president reâ€" marked, "the growth of the Legion toâ€" day is the result of what the Legion is doing for comrades of the great war. ‘The Legion keeps faith with the disâ€" abled, *‘ is no lie. It is the plain truth. Here is where the old bull dog spirit is shown by the men behind the Legion. In all provinces we have men who put their backs to the wall and fight for their less fortunate comrades. The Canadian Legion toâ€"day is blessed with men who see no fear in sticking up for. what they fought for, and the comâ€" rades, and families of comrades who. cannot fight for themselves. Where would these poor comrades be if it was not for the Legion. They would be trampled upon, kept down andâ€" let starve. So we who can have much to do to help those who cannot fight the battle of life. We are holding our own toâ€"day, in spite of the fact that many of our comrades of the Great War stand aside, where they could help us strengthen our battle front. The splendid response to our efforts in the Timmins branch to increase our memâ€" bership makes us want to fight all the harder to get all those who have not come forward to join the Legion With comrades like His Worship Mayor Drew, Drs. Harrison, Porter, Honey and Kinsmgan and Messrs S. A. Caldbick, W. S. Jamieson, Col. Scobell and Archie Brown, who give us their wholeâ€" hearted support and advice, we should get the rest of the prominent citizens who are exâ€"soldiers to come along with the above comrades and join the Leâ€" gion. Many of these comrades do not get to our meetings but the advice is worthy of mention, and should prove a leading light to the rest of the comâ€" rades who have not joined our ranks. We also have several ladies who can join our branch, ladies who served overseas. We have two ladies in the branch now, namely Nursing Sister Miss Jamieson and Mrs. Chulak. I‘m sure these two ladies would be glad to help to welcome any more of the ladies in the Porcupine who served overseas and are eligible to join the Timmins branch of the Canadian Legion. I might add that application forms will be gladly sent to any of the ladies who will come forward and join our branch. The ladies are usually to the fore in all things, why be behind in Legion work? is no shame or disgrace attached !to joining a branch of comrades who served with you in <the Great War. You were ever ready to assist us during the war. Don‘t be behind now, as we require the assistance of the ladies to make the branch a success. light job such as clerking, watching, etc On Poppy Day the help of the ladies will be gladly accepted to sell poppies. A day with the Timmins branch of the Legion would show them that we still have the same old fighting spirit left. that we had overseas. Instead of only two we could have at least 20 ladies in the Porcupine, members of Timmins Branch 88,â€"ladies, who, like us poor men, gave their all during the war for King and Couuntry. So. hurry up, ladies, get in the Legion, help us to do our duty to those comrades who are less fortunate than ourselves; and to the rest of our men comrades in the Porâ€" cupine who have not come forward let me impress upon them the need of their help now, to hold our own. We need their help greater than ever. We must have them in the Legion. To those comrades who have failed the Legion and were suspended I would say, "Never mind about being suspended; you perâ€" haps deserved it; But take and follow the lead of those comrades who have come back to us again. We welcome all old comrades back again. There is not one who owes any more than $12.00, and many only from $2.00 up. Twelve dollars will not break most of these comrades; instead of breaking them it will "make them}â€" make them memâ€" bers of the Timmins branch Canadian Legion.â€"partners with the rest of the comrades who are in the Legion. A perâ€" uP Ety son should not have to beg like this, for their support, but we must keep after them as we need them all. Noâ€" tices will be in the mail before the end of the week for those who "have failâ€" ed the Legion." Thank goodness, there branch. The Legion keeps faith with the Disabledâ€"So we must all keep faith with the Legion. MAN DIES NEAR COBALT AFTER BEING HIT BY TRAIN John Holmes, about 60 years of age, was fatally injured when struck by a T. and N. O. passenger train about eight miles south of Cobalt Sunday afâ€" ternoon. Holmes had gone down to Latchford earlier in the day and was walking the tracks in the the direction of Coâ€" balt when he was overtaken in a cut by the northbound afternoon local. The man was thrown into the ditch when struck by the engine and diea soon after from his injuries. Conducâ€" tor Gillespie and Engineer Ross were in charge of the train. Dr. W. C. Arnold, the coroner, will hold an inquest. Litâ€" tle is known by the police regarding Holmes, but they learned that he had been paid that morning by Frank Boucher, for whom he had been workâ€" ing lately as a labourer. Chicago Newsâ€"Russia plans to have 17,000,000 citizens engaged in military training by 1933. We trust that no anâ€" xiety is caused in Moscow by unfoundâ€" ed rumors that 75,000,000 Americans are even now exercising with war clubs on Tom Thumb battlefields. â€"The Secretaryâ€"Treasurer oTX MORITORIUM I$ ALLOWED TO LUMBERMEN Despatches last week from Toronto say that in order to assist the lumber industry in its present depressed state, the Ontario Government will grant to every operator the privilege of paying only 50 per cent. of the dues and bonâ€" uses arising from the 1929â€"30 operaâ€" tions, on or before October 30, 1930. Lumbermen in Ontario Given Time In Which to Pay Timber Dues and Bonuses from the 1929â€"1930 Operations, with No Inierâ€" est Charges. This announcement was made by Hon. William Finlayson, Minister of Lands and Forests, following repreâ€" sentations made by a delegation of lumbermen to the effect that unless the heavy burden of taxes was lightâ€" ened by the government this winter‘s cut of lumber would be materially reâ€" duced with resultant reduction in the number of men employed. "This privilege is applicable only to the accounts accruing from the cutting of timber during last season," said Mr. Finlayson, "and to oprrators who have paid up all accounts prior to those of 1929â€"30." The balance of the taxes owing to the government will be free of interest for the next six months or until April 30, 1931, providing that at the end of six months another 25 per cent. is paid and the remaining last 25 per cent. is paid on or before October 31, 1931. "The lumber operators requested a great deal more than the government feels it possibly can give, "continued Mr. Finlayson. ‘"The dues @and bonuses are now due but by allowing the operâ€" ators an extension of time without acâ€" cruing interest we hope it will allow them to continue cutting timber this winter without too drastic a reduction in the number of employees." Lumber operators expressed varying views as to the effect of the governâ€" ment‘s policy. T. A. Patterson, manaâ€" ger of Mickle Dyment and Complany said "I think the decision to carry ha:: the yearly account free of interest is very reasonable and as much as we can expect. It must not be forgotten the bonuses and royalties are now due and the government could just as easilly have taken a different attitude and reâ€" fused to make any concessions." Anâ€" other prominent lumberman expressed a different, opinion. The lumber inâ€" dustry was in a bad way, he said. The price of lumber was down to a very low point and the government‘s decision on theâ€" matter was of little asistance," he declared. With the extension of the T. N. O. to James Bay, Moose Factory will soon be a near neighbour to Timmins as distances go in this North Land. Consequently there will be growing inâ€" terest now and hereafter in Moose Factory. There was always some speâ€" cial interest here in Moose Factory for several reasons. One of these reasons was that any new and littleâ€"known area is of interest to many here. Another reasons was that many Timmins prosâ€" pectors had made the trip to Moose Factory and so knew the country more or less. The trip took some weeks to make usually. On several occasions The Advance had letters from Moose FPactory and these were always keenly perused. It will surprise many to know that Moose Factory has had school facilitiee of rather extendec kind for some years longer than Timâ€" mins has had this advantage. ‘The story of this is more or less indicated The Ansonville Star last week said: "On Wednesday afternoon Cochrane and Schumacher softball teams playâ€" ed a sudden death game on Iroquois Falls‘ diamond to decide who would meset the Rinkey Dinks of North Bay to decide the Northern Championship. After a close and exciting game the girls from Cochrane won out by a score of"13 to 12." ANNIVERSARY OF OPENING OF MOOSE FACTORY SCHOOL in the following item from a letter from Moose Factory in the last issue of The Northern Tribune, of Kapuskasing:â€" "The 25th anniversary of the openâ€" ing of the Moose Factory Indian Reâ€" sidential School was celebrated on Friday, Sept. 5th. A service of thanksâ€" giving was held in the St. Thomas Church in the morning. The psalms and hymns and prayers were all Of a thanksgiving character. The sermon was preached from the text "This God is our God for ever and ever." The history of the church and mission was reviewed from its inception, and truly the blessing of God has been uprn the work done on this island among the ‘Indians for many years by the Angliâ€" can Church. In the afternoon sports were held for the children, also an exâ€" hibition of children‘s work. The exâ€" hibits were varied in character and reâ€" fiected great credit on those who have trained the children. The girls exâ€" hibited baked bread, sewing, mending, darning, knitting and quilts. The boys exhibited woodâ€"work, axe handles, etc., and garden produce, whilst samples of writing, map drawing, and crayon work were shown by both girls and boys. A supper was served at the Mission to all the pupils and exâ€"pupils of the school. Sixtyâ€"three sat down to this and enjoyed the many good things prepared by the members of the staf? of the Residential School. In the evening spzeches were given by the loâ€" cal Indian agent, Dr. Hamilton, and by the principal and missionary in charge, Rev. Jos. Blackburn. Prizes were also distributed to the children for their exhibtts and sports." COCHRANE GIRLS WON FROM SCHUMACHER IN SOFTBALL For Sure Results Try Our Want Ad.
