The people:ocf Schumacher are represented as objecting to any such proposal, and the leading indusiries of the part of the township concerned are represented as strongly against the plan suggested by the Timmins byâ€"law.

AND WHEREAS the aforesaid allegâ€" ations have no merit attached io them whatsoever but, on the contrary, the sole and only reason for the proposed annexation is that the Town of Timâ€" mins will receive greatly increased reâ€" veniie from the valuable areas proâ€" posed to be annexed, particularly inâ€" come tax from the large operating mines included in the area payable under The Mining Tax Act.

A. Neame Again Elected President of the Timmins Branch of the Legion Major Cornthwaite, First Viceâ€"President, James Cowan, Second Viceâ€"President. Voting in All Cases Very Close. Annual Reports Presented by Various Committees of the Legion. There was a very large attendance at the monthly meeting of the Timmins Branch of the Canadian Legiof! on Monday evening, in the Legion hall. Walter Greaves, president occupied the chair. The election of 1942 officers and routine repcorts occupied the attention of the meeting which was featured by some strong words in regard to the manned in which the government is conducting its war effort. The matter was touched upon by Comrade J. Harâ€" ris, who stated that it had come to his notice that the government was chargâ€" ing veterans‘ war pensions for income and, collecting the tax accordingly. He stated that a very strong protest should be made against ‘this practice. In the original granting of pensions, it was definitely stated that these would not be taxed in any manner. Now we learn that pensioners who are paying the Inâ€" come Tax are to all intents and purâ€" poses giving their pensions back to the government. President W. Greaves and Comrade W. A. Devine, gave the convention attitude in this regard and this proved" that the Canadian Legion has this under review and are hoping for an early ruling from Ottawa offiâ€" cials No action was taken by the branch in the matter although it was the feeling that this should be rectified and the pledge upheld. Committee reports gave‘a very interâ€" esting picture of the work being done. War Services: Charles Keates, chairâ€" man: 560,000 cigarettes sent to Great Britain to date, the cost being close to $2,000.00. The chairman thanked the members of his committee, R. Russell, W. Triese, C. Surman, for their coâ€"operâ€" ation. Another $250.00 was voted for the January shipment. The members protested the letter published in ‘"The Daily Press" from troops overseas, which stated that no one in Timmins was looking after them in the way of cigs. or comforts. Comrade Keates proved conclusively that each one of the signers of the letâ€" ter has received Legion cigarettes and some of them over 600 each. The branch ordered an interview and letter to be published in the matter. Sick ‘Committee: A. Jenkin, chairâ€" man: This has been a busy conmnmittee and one that functioned all through the year. During the holiday all the sick were given a little extra cheer and there was a heavy list of names read out. One member had passed away durâ€" ing the week. In connection with the Legion magazine collection which has been carried through by Comrade Jenâ€" kin, he reported 5,000 lbs of magazines and books sent from the branch during the year. Pensions: W. A. Devine. This nas been another of the efforts and has entailed much time and talent. He stated that a yearly report would be presented at the next meeting. The reâ€" port for the meeting was one pension case settled satisfactorily and two alâ€" lowances secured. Operation of the club premises was given a very thorough discussion and the new year will witness some changes which it is hoped will bring in more members and a closer tie to the old ones. The discussion was very interestâ€" ing and some good suggestions put forâ€" $100.00 was voted to the Russian Hospital and Medical Supply Red Cross Fund and $25.00 to the Citizens‘ COmâ€" mittee to cover part cost of the party held for the children of those now seryâ€" ing in the active forces. 76 e The big event of the evening was the announcing of the result of the ballot for 1942 officers, A.
