"I have heard several people say, ‘What is the reason for all these campaigns?" Mr. Neame stated. “We in Canada are very fortunate when we think of the strain and stress of the peoples in Europe. with the heavy war taxation, the rationing of food, the personal danger. We should feel proud to con- tribute to all these funds and thus assist in winning the war." The following were adopted as the members of the local campaign com- mittee:â€"-- Mr. Ma/gladery pointed out that the years of experience behind the Legion enables the Legion War Services In- corporated to be of great help to new enlistments. Long-established facilities including war padres, are at the disâ€" posal of the recruits, and advice and guidance are available for personal problems. The Legion War Services is giving its help and knowledge in such matters as personal debts. separation allowances, care of families and dc- pendents while on service and all the many problems that arise during war. Recruits may feel that, their families will be looked after by War Services, and their own interests will also be guarded by men who know and under- stand. The providing of entertainment, concert parties, etc.. for the trcczps overseas. and the provision of sports and recreation are other branches of the Legion War Services work. Capt. Magladery touched in very able and effective way on each branch of the War Services work, its necessity and value to the soldier on service and to aid in his successful return to civil life at the end of the war. Dr. McClinton tressed the education- al branch of the Canadian Legion War Services Incorporated. In collaboration with the Canadian Association :for Adult Education. the War Services plan was to ,make it possible for members of (the Forces to continue in large meas- ure their educational studies even (“101.311 on active service. Committees,- comprised of outstanding educational- ists, are being formed in each military district. and facilities are being made available for the continuation of edu- cation and for general studies for bet- terment and advancement when civil life is resumed.

Tomkinson, of Elm street, south. fMany friends from the district gn- thered to welcome Mrs. Pierce to Timmins again, and to enjoy a happy social afternoon in a friendly group. During the afternoon. bridge was played, and the winners were: 13b. Mrs. Burnojt. 2nd. Mrs. Wm. Hatch, and 3rd, Mrs. O‘Sullivan. Mrs. Pierce was presented with a lovely gift as a memento of the occasion and the hostess served a delicious lunch. ’ At that time. Mr. Brade‘t‘te admitted that Nipissing was in the sores: need of readjustment of electoral district boundaries and declared that doubtless the rapid growth of the City of Sud- bury would warrant the division of the riding for the provision of a second new member for the North Land. Mrs. C. Pierce Entertaincd On Occaswn of Visit Here Basis of Forecast It was on the huge ,increases in pOpula‘tion cf Tack? township. -a‘nd the Timmins area which'Mr. Bra'dctte fore- cast merging ‘for division into three of either Cochrane or Temiskamihg to provide another Commons member for the North Land. 30,000 Mr. Bradette estimated that the [population of his riding in the paslt 10 years, due to the amazing growth of the Porcupine mining towns, has nearly doubled, giving the Cochrane electoral district a count of well over 100,000. In Temiska-ming Speaking of Walter Little's riding of Temiskaming Mr. Bradette said the same population increase, perhaps on a smaller scale, applied as in the Coch- rane district. The 193:1 census set the population of the Temiskaming riding at 37,694, of which, at; that time, Teck township which includes busy. booming Kirkland Lake, formed a much smaller part than it does today. Accurate figures on the population of Teck township are difficult to de- termine. ibut estimates pretty well aver- age around 25.000. 11 little less than 12.000 under the census total for all of Temiskaming. Mr. Bradette estimated the pcpula- ition of Timmins and its immediately surrounding municipalities in excess of The 1931 census gave the population of Mr. Bradette's riding as 58,284, roughly 15,000 more than the popula- tion now of Timmins and its adjacent :municflpaliuties of South Porcupine and Schuma'3her. At that, time, J. A. Bradette, M.P., for Cochrane, forecast not; enly division of Nipissin‘g. but the merging for divi- sion in‘to three ridings the electoral dis- triats of Temiskaming and Cochrane.
