J. T. HEFFERNAN was not sure of a meal in Timmins." This is not the case. Ever since the Tlmminsv Branch of the Canadian Le- gion has been formed here and the re- lief fund established, it has been our aim to assist the unfortunate returned man. We have assisted families in railroad fares. Men have had board and mom paid for in some of the local hotels and all effort made to try to secure work f or them. In several cases we have succeeded in the latter. We have had. men Whom we have helped, Service Our Motto Reference was made last week to the Legion Service Bureau and the work it is doing for the ex-serviceman. A communication just to hand brings to light the figures {or 1931. Over 800 pension adjustments were made through the efforts of ms service. the sum in retroactive pensions amounting to about $250 000.00. In the month of December 24 adjustments were made involving a sum of $26,800.00. Three major Imperial pensions were secured among these, this being an achievement or much merit. Four widows received pension cheques of neat amounts in time for Christmas. thereby adding: much to that season of the year. When it is said the Legicn stands for “Ser- vice" we mean it. “Service" is our motto and the work of the bureau shows that the Legion is striving to get Justice for the men who think they should be in receipt of pension. A small percentage of the members dues gm towards the upkeep of these bur- eaus and the money is well spent in the good they are doing.

The report of the chief of police for Tech township as presented to the last meeting of the council at Kirkland Lake makes very interesting reading. There were 89 cases in which convic- tions were secured, 25 of them being for assault and similar ofl'ences. 7 for zambiing on the Lord's Day. 6 for theft. 3 for obstructing police officers, 7 with fighting on the street, 6 with obtaining good; on false pretences. 2 with inde- cent assault, 7 with vagrancy. 3 with breach of municipal by-laws. and the balance with various other cfl'ences. from reckless driving to breach of the liquor laws. There we're 14 summonses served and 8 warrants executed for other police departments. The number of telephone calls was 352. There were 61 doors of business places found in- secure after the‘hour of midnight. and he owners in each case notified. Nine iutomcbiles were reported as stolen. all of these being recovered.
