Another matter which was fully disâ€" cussed was the question of alien naâ€" tional activiti¢s in this district. Veterâ€" ans are determined to keep watch on such organizations, the leaders of which are believed to be known. In any event such activities will be kept under surveillance. Forms for recording all the necesâ€" sary particulars are in the hands of the aboveâ€"mentioned registrars and all exâ€" servicemen and women are asked to make out their applications without delay.

Mrs. Ball and Mrs. Lloyd are arranging a bridee for members at this meeting.

Montreal, April 19.â€"Think of a locoâ€" motive fireman donning white duck JjJacket and trousers in his work of firing a locomotive, yet this was one of the rules in the first Great Western Railâ€" way rule book in England. A copy of this book, which has been received at headquarters of the Canadian National Rallways, reveals that engineers ard firemen were compelled to appear on duty so clad, clean whites being proâ€" vided every Monday morning. In addi. tion, another rule provided that on Ssundays or other Holy days "Yevery person, when not required on duty, will attend a place of worship as it will be the means of promotion when vacanâ€" cies occur." From national headquarters, more than 20,000 cards have gone out to Chapters across Canada, to be filled in by members who are acked to consider the question. In case of emergency, the members are asked what work they are willing to do. Among the listed occupations are ambulance and other nursing, cooking, stenography, clerking, first aid, sewing, knitting, secretarial and bookkeeping work, etc. Each chapter will keep the completed or filled in cards, and forward a list to national neadquarters giving the information contained in the cards.

THURZDAY. APRTL XOTH, 18638 THOSE GOOD OLD DAYS (Winnipeg Tribuune) It is common talk around Hollywood that Will Hays, the movie czar, is alâ€" ways giving Sam Goldwyn headaches. The latest headache arises out of Hays‘ annual report on the movie inâ€" dustry, in which he asserts that the popularity of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs shows that in a world devoted to isms and schsms "there are still a number of eudemonits left in the world." Mr. Goldwyn is not, of course the only person to whom the word "eudeâ€" monist" will give pause. It has a sinâ€" ister sound, which, however, is quite alien to its meaning. The dictionary gives "eudemonism" as "that system of ethics which finds the moral standard in the tendency of actions to promote happiness." Eudemonists, therefore, are people who think it is worth while to work for happiness as a very fine thing in itself. please Snow White has demonstrated that movies which give people a few minâ€" utes of happiness can be popular, even if they make no attempt to get to grips with anything. And people who go to the movies merely to be amused can henceforth hold their heads high. It is something in these days to be a eudeâ€" monist. George Gershwin said one day: "‘Music criticism is exéellent as a rule, but whem a boxing expert takes to criticizing Strauss or Ravel in a conâ€" descending way the outcome is apt to be funny. It is like the steamfitter who got a job in a music store. "A lady came into the store one day and said to him: "‘I want to buy some piano pieces, On Monday evening in the Daffodil Community hall the Consumers‘ Coâ€" cperative held their first meeting for physical culture exercise. The meeting was organized by Miss Ethel Beam, with Miss Nelma Johnson as teacher. There are seventeen ladies in the class. At the evening service of worship on Sunday at Trinity United Church speâ€" cial music was given by the Men‘s Choir under the direction of Mr. Ron Jones. The choir rendered three selecâ€" tions which were much appreciated by the congregation. After the service the Rey. F. J. Baine suggested that if any of the congregation would like to join them in the church hall they would have some singing. Most of the conâ€" gregation joined them, and a good oldâ€" fashioned singâ€"song was enjoyed for over an hour. Wesley McLaren, Fourth Ave. Mr. H. Dobson, Mr. Cavanagh, Mr. Dan Fraser, and Mr.J.

At the end of March this bureau had apâ€" plications from 2,708 men on file in the office. Since then the number has inâ€" creased by 50 at least., Every one of these applicants has mining: experâ€" ience, or is a skilled tradesman in some craft that is of particular use to mine work. Of course, this does not mean that there are 2,750 men at present out of work at Kirkland Lake. No doubt many of the applications are from men who wish to make a changze, or men now working at some less skilled work but who are equipped for better class of work. However, while there will per. haps be a large number of jobs openâ€" ing up when spring, or summer comes, it would appear that there will even then be quite a number of men out of work . at . Kirkland without much chance of employment in mining. This is one reason why the advertisement appearing in Toronto newspapers last Saturday was an unfortunate one. This advt. gave a Kirkland Lake post office box raply. Those who repliedâ€"and it is understood there were large numâ€" bers of repliesâ€"received answer to the effect that if they would send a dollar they would be given full particulars. Those sending the dollar are given some information about the mines of the North and the requirements for mines. In regard to the Porcupine mines the dollar letter says that applications have to be made out for jobs at the McInâ€" tyre and Hollinger, while at the other mines personal application has to be made to the mine employment managâ€" ers. "It depends entirely on your own ability and initiative," this section of the letter concludes, neglecting, howâ€" ever, to add that it depends still more on any jobs being cpen, while there are already 1,000 or more men here out of work. In regard to Kirkland Lake, the dolâ€" lar letter says:; "We strongly adviso avoiding this camp." It might have been fairer to have added a similar statement to each of the other camps. The advertisement in the Toronto papers created much interest in the North, where it was felt that it would have harmful effect, tempting men to Unfortunately, the wording of the advts. in the Toronto newspapers left the impression that some mine or mines in the North were seeking men . The truth is that there are already thouâ€" sands of more men than jobs. There is one paragraph in the dolâ€" lar letter, however, that is worth the dollar, if all would only heed it: "As you might have to rustle the mines until an opening presents itself, we advise bringing sufficient cash to see you through a period of two months. Board and room average $850 per week. All Applications from Exâ€" perienced â€"Minersâ€" or Craftsmen.
