mommm r THE WORK OF THE »} t ied on us n cce oo )2 It is well worth while for the people in general | 1 in Canada to stop {requently and consider all that ; i the Canadian Legion of British Emnire Service 't League has done, is doing and will do for the peoâ€" | i When the last war was ended, the soldiers who had made so many personal sacrifices and accomâ€" plished so much for Canada and the Empire, id not stop their generous efforts, but rather redouâ€" bled them. Organization was soon accomplished, ‘and'fflrst as the Great War Veterans, and later as the Canadian Legion, the discharged soldier‘s took up the burden not only of citizenship, but also the personal care and consideration for the ill and injured and handicapped. The work of the Legion in caring for the families of soldiers of the last war is a proverb toâ€"day. In securing proper penâ€" sions, the work of the Canadian Legion has been a genuine help to the soldiers and their families. Since the present war started, the Legion has added the men of the present war to the list of associations that are the particular aim and obâ€" ject of the Legion. It is well worth while for the people in general in Canada to stop {requently and consider all that the Canadian Legion of British Emnire Service League has done, is doing and will do for the peoâ€" ple of this country and of the Empire. <While only the first part of the legal title, "Canadian Legion," is commonly used, the fact is that the actions and attitude of the League may best be described in the words of the latter half of the titleâ€""British Emâ€" pire Service League." Those words fittingly desâ€" cribe the work accomplished by the Legion. The Legion certainly is serving the British Empire. This train of thought has been started by the action of the Timmins Branch of the Canadian Legion in reference to a resolution in connection with collective bargaining. ‘This resolution came from the Windsor branch of the Legion and showâ€" ed that the Legion has been carefully and ably reviewing the situation, with the one thought in mindâ€"the helping and safeguarding of the rights and privileges of the men who serve. Without the work of the Legion, men returning from the preâ€" sent war, would have poor treatment, indeed. All men volunteering for active service have been promised theirsusual places in industry and busiâ€" ness when they return from the victory. This proâ€" mise would be fully implemented‘ by the heads of industry and business, so far as such a plan is practical. The truth of the matter, however, is that in a great many cases there will not be posiâ€" tions open, because of the fact that war conditions have resulted in the closing out of quite a numâ€" ber.of industries and businesses. The business man or the industrial head can not hand any reâ€" turned man a position or a place, if the business or industry concerned has lost its business or inâ€" dustry. This will be a serious problem to face, but if to this is added the restrictions and the regulations that would necessarily be imposed under any bureaucratic system, the outlook for the réturned soldier would not be a flattering one. After careful thought the Legion sees the necesâ€" guarding the soldiers from the effects of a certain type of proposed collective bargaining. First, the Legion reasonably suggests that no form of collective bargaining legislation, or other drasâ€" tic law be placed on the statute books without first permitting the soldiers to have something to say about it. Second, the Legion feels that no law should be passed that will in any way prejudice the liberty of the men who are toâ€"day risking their health and strength and lives to protect Canada and the Empire. Business and industry toâ€"day are much reduced from preâ€"war levels, not only as regards profits and expansion, but also in the number of men employed. The men in the Canaâ€" ject of the Legion. There is no doubt that the soldiers of the preâ€" sent warâ€"like those of all previous contestsâ€"need some organization, alert and influential to guard their interests. There are such matters as penâ€" sions, treatment of the families of men in the Armed Forces, entertainment and education for the soldier, and a host of other worthy causes, that need special attention from the standpoint of the men who are doing the fighting on land, on sea and in the air. When the present war ends, there will be greater need than ever for the work of the Canadian Legion. All good citizens should make it a point of personal honour to see that the Leâ€" gion has the money and the moral support of the country in the good work being carried on so sucâ€" cessfully by the Canadian Legion of the British Empire Service League. Canadaâ€"$2.00 Per Year. United St dian Armed Forces make up a large proportion of the personnel of business places and factories. It is only fair that full recognition should be given to the soldiers in regard to any and every activity of business or industry. In this connection the example of Kirkland Lake is called itc mind. While a large proportion of the miners and workâ€" men of the Kirkland Lake mines were on active service, a comparatively small number of other workers were able to stir up a strike at the Kirkâ€" lang Lake mines. This strike resulted in great injury, not only to the municipality, but also to thespeople in general, and to the merchants. The sol@ge®s had no part or parcel in the proceedings. They were simply the victims. As a result of that TWO PHONESâ€"26 and 20200 TIMMIN®, ONTARIO hmmmxmpmw Ele Yorrtpine Abvance PAQCT 154 immins, 07 Published Every Thursday by GKO.

Of course, this matâ€" ter of tampering with the mail of members of the House of Commons is a very serious matter. It _contravenes several principles of British liberty. Done under the guise of censorship, it has become _something particularly objectionable. When comâ€" plaint was first made about it, the Government gave little heed. Apparently, members apart from the government side, made an issue of it this week, with the result that the use of this questionable form of procedure is likely to be abridaged. There is a lesson in this for all memibers of parliament. If the members wish to hold the confidence and the respect of the public, they can not continue to be mere â€"noiseless rubber stamps apparently apâ€" proving anything and everything the government does. It is the duty not only of the Opposition members but also of the supporters of the governâ€" ment and all others in pariiainent to do their duty. They are all responsible for whatever happens. Protests now will clear them to some extent when the public trial begins. There have been altoâ€" gether too few protests to date. In the case of mail opened parliament apparently is exercising its privileges. Some of the members appear to be under the impression that the tampering with mail is a reflection on their loyalty. It should be noted that a Minister of the Crown recently reâ€" flected on the honesty of the members when he suggested that the plans of the Wartime Housing Corporation were not shown to the House because somebody might steal them, and members seemed to be the only cnes in position to do that stealing. The members should not allow that reflection on their honesty to pass without very loud protest. The Ottawa Journal is authority for the stateâ€" ment that the houses built on mass production plans by Wartime Housing cost an average of $4,000.00 each. Not only should the plans for these houses be produced, but the House should be given a detailed breakdown of the cost of these houses so that the people might understand just what caused such an exorbitant average cost. The references in The Ottawa Journal seem to suggest that considering the fact that the houses in quesâ€" tion are without furnaces or cellars, the average cost might well be half $4,000 each. Members of parliament owe it to themselves and to the counâ€" try to insist not only that the mail of members shall be properly respected, but still: more that the money of the people in every case shall be exâ€" pended with the greatest care and prudence. Thoughtful citizens will be watching the attitude and the action of parliament in such matters. In this connection it would be well for the parliaâ€" mentarians here to follow the example of the Briâ€" tish parliament where all members of the House guard the privileges and the responsibilities of the House with the greatest and most tireless zeal. This month will see another Victory Loan camâ€" paign, and for an amount that would have been thought impossible a few years ago. Organizaâ€" tion is being completed and the workers once more are taking up the fight with the greatest devotion and effort. Their attitude appears to be:â€""It is going to be a tough battle, but we will surely win!" The attitude here to the new Victory Loan is the same attitude adopted by the soldiers, the sailors and the airmen. There is a battle to win, and they will win it. For the moment the public apâ€" pears inclined to consider the difficulties in the way. The workers in the campaign on the other hand are seeking ways to help on victory. There is one thing that seems certain. Just as in the battle against the gangsters, the Allied Nations have the resources, the men and, above all, the spirit that brings victory, so in this Victory Loan campaign, there is the same array of force if it ecan be mustered completely. In this connection the Government can give the most powerful aid. In advertising material, in propaganda, in clever appeal, the Governiment forces have done unusually well in other campaigns. It may be held that this is not really Government talent but rather the volunteer services of the organization that has been built up by men who have no thought of poliâ€" tiecs but are simply devoting all their time and taâ€" lents to the battle forâ€"victory. But let that pass‘! Give the Government credit for doing one part weli!l ‘There still remains the fact that an ounce ) 1 THE GOVERNMENT COULD HELP sort of procedure, their old positions are no longer in existence and so are not there for their return. In democratic government the voice of the maâ€" jority naturally governs. This, however, presupâ€" poses the right of all to express their preferences and beliefs. Those in the Armed Forces should be kept in mind at all times, Were it not for their services, this country would not be in position to adopt collective bargaining or anything else. It should not be forgotten for a minute that all the rights and privileges of the people of Canada and of the Empire are particularly being guarded by the soldiers overscas. No plan or purpose that neglects to guard the interests and ideas of the men overseas is fair or sportsmanlike or honest. The Canadian Legion is doing another public serâ€" vice in making this fact plain.

The speaker for the day was W. M. Whyte, who gave an original impressive address that deâ€" lighted the gathering with its wit, huâ€" mour, information and inspiration. He chose as a title for his talk, "The Tale of a Wasted Life." Wide circles of friends and acquainâ€" tances in Timmins and the North learnâ€" ed with the deepest regret ten years ago of the death of Mrs. Arthur W. Young at her home, 33 Hemlock streei, Timmins, on Thursday, March 23rd, 1933. Mrs. Young had been ill for time, undergoing an operation some months ago, but only for a short time had her condition become serious. Atâ€" though it was known that her death could not be long delayed, her passing away came as a shock to all who knew her. In addition to the bereaved husâ€" band A. W.

The presence of three partly filled glasses and two bottles opened but unâ€" touched in the tap room was explained on the theory that it was a very common thing around closing time for patrons to buy beer but fail to drink it. The moral seems to be that those who buy beer and fail to drink it may expect to be unable to buy beer when they desire a drink or two.
