Since Jan. 1st, 1931, the Ontario Proâ€" vincial Adjustment Service has estabâ€" lished 172 major pension claims. When it is considered that under the new procedure, only one presentation is sible to the Board of Pension Commisâ€" sioners. the thoroughness of our preâ€" paration and presentation will be apâ€" parent. Claims which the BPC. are unable to grant are referred to the Pension Tribunal with the possible long delay before a hearing is arranged, and even if the claim is allowed, it is subâ€" ject to appeal by the Commission Counâ€" It is desired to state further that penâ€" sion entitlement was secured for addiâ€" tional disabilities numbering 20 in the above cases. Many of these comrades have two or more disabilities, but alâ€" though has been obtained for these conditions, each individual case is listed as a single adjustment even though the man may be established on pension for four separate disabilities which happened in one case. Gun Shot Wounds, 10; Bronchitis, 9: Arthritis, Myalgia, V.DH., Flat Feet, and Deri»ndent Pensions, 5 each: Neurâ€" asthenia, 4; D.AH. and T.B., 3 each; Neurosis, Varicose Veins, Duodenal Ulâ€" cer, 2 each; Pyorrhea, Nephritis, Hemâ€" morrhoids, Fracture Leg, Myocarditis, Peptic Ulcer, Otitis Media, Hernia, Inâ€" jured Knee and Hallux Vailgus, 1 each. The month of March, 1931, has brought a new record in successful major pension adjustments as no fewer than 70 were secured involving the payâ€" ment of approximately $34,300.00 in Retreactive Pension, while the future has been made secure for disabled comâ€" rades, their dependents, widows and orphans. This magnificent achieveâ€" ment indicates the efficiency of the Adâ€" justment Officers, also that the system of operation is very effective. A glance at the classification of the successful adjustments will convince anyone of the wisdom of having fully qualified and experienced Legion Adjustment Officers present such claims.

He went out there on a mission for the Dominion Command. Pollowed by a little note on the good work of Col. Picking which is headed, "A Tribute to Ontario":â€"Lt.â€"Col. F. J. Picking, provincial first viceâ€"president and honorary secretary has been in Manitoba and Saskatchewan for the | sel to the Pension Appeal Court. Apâ€" proximately 70¢f of the favourable deâ€" cisions of the Pension Tribunal have been appealed and the Pension Appeal Court have rejected two thirds of the claims which were allowed by the Penâ€" | sion Tribunal. j Legion members are therefore urged to avail themselves of the expert advice iand assistance of the Service Bureaux. Many branch Secretaries and Pension |Officers are already doing this, and ]t.heir coâ€"operation is a factor in the success achieved. Rememberâ€"the Onâ€" tario Service Bureaux are linked up with the Dominion Service Bureau of the Legion in Ottawa, under the direct supervision of Com. R. Hale, Dominion Adjustment Officer who has personal contact with the B.P.C. and other adâ€" jJudicating bodies. Toronto Service Bureau is operated by Com. A. A. Roâ€" binsonâ€"London Service Bureau by Com. F. Furness, and Windsor Service Bureau by Com. C. H. Strickland. During March pressure was severe in all Service Bureaux as the following figures will indicateâ€"Interviews, 114; Leiters Written, 2458; Documents Copied, 676; Clinical Examinations Arranged, 189. There are 2806 cases receiving attention at the present time. Even where a successful adjustment is not obtained, it will be realized that a well prepared case is ready for considâ€" eration of the Pension Tribunal where jurisdiction exists. In many of these cases relief is obtained to cover imâ€" mediate needs from the Canteen Fund or eligibility to War Veterans Allowâ€" ance is undertaken. A substantial number of minor adjustments such as Departmental Medical Dental Treatâ€" ment have also been obtained following negotiations with the authorities conâ€" Gin Pills Beef, Iron and Wine Milk of Magnesia Special 27¢ Special 19¢ Special 79¢ Italian Balm Fruitatives Regular 25¢ Large 16 oz.

Comrades Nicholls, Grant, Paddy Rowe, Bellamy, Curtis, and McCann, along with Comrade T. Johnson, kept the boys n good humour aided by Porcurlne Cawfee, Comrade Devine presided at the piano in his usual capable manneor. There was a good attendance at the The lst viceâ€"president is Com. T. Parsons, of the Dome Mines. The 2nd viceâ€"presidernt is Comrade Forrester. The executive committee:â€"Comradss Garner, Devine, Bellamy, and Scobell. with instructions to instal in the proâ€" vincial headquarters at Winnipeg and Regina the same system as has been established in the provincial office at Toronto. This is a distinct tribute to the Ontaric Provincial Command. Those who were present at the Regina comnvention in November, 1929, will reâ€" member, when Ontario was placed in a bad light in comparison with the other provinces. Those who were at the Hamilton convention will remember the chaos which existed at that time. It is therefore highly gratifying to learn that the Ontario Provincial Office and its organization are now being set up as a model for the rest of Canada. It shows the remarkable change which has taken place in the affairs of the Onâ€" tario Provincial Command since last August, and members of the Legion in Ontario can be justly proud of the manâ€" ner in which their affairs have been handled in the last eight months. This change is due to the selfâ€"sacrificing work of the honorary secretary, Comâ€" rade Picking, ably backed up by the members of the special provincial finâ€" ance committee, which has been holdâ€" ing many meetings in the last few months, and has been giving wise counâ€" sel and guidance in directing the affairs of the provincial command u; to the present high standard of efficiency. Every member can now feel proud of the provincial organization, and that should make an added incentive to effort in the membership compaign. The election of officers for 1931 turned out a gocod working executive.

As usual I shall be pleased to take in the bawâ€"bees or dues along with the application forms on Vimy Night. Comrade Keates put the suggestion ; that we had a good night for this work on Vimy Night, so I think all members took application forms to bring their l man for Vimy. } Sunday, May 24th, will be a church parade when Comradeo B. Sky will take moving pictures of the parade. Comâ€" rade Sky put a little more pep into the branch by suggesting that we go out and get all the exâ€"soldiers and hand them a form. Comrade Scobell had another good suggestion and that was to have sprcial meeting and each member grab hold of his man and not leave loose until he had his man at the meeting. Not a bad idea!
