Dancing Saturday Evening GENE CROCCO and His ORCHESTRA A delegation from Canadian Legion headquarters, headed by Alex. Walker, Dominion â€" president, fecently asked Prime Minister, MacKenzie King to : conduct a searching review of the manpower situation in Canada, make [as many deferred men as possible ‘available for military service and to send overseas every N. R. M. A, man in Canada. The Legion brief to the prime minister follows: The single man who left Canada at 21 is now possibly 26 and he is a stranger in a strange land on his reâ€" turn. His period of reâ€"adjustment, which will most assuredly be mingled with a certain amount of bitterness toward the man who stayed in Canaâ€" da, will continue to be more difficult as his sojourn away from Canada is extended. The policy wisely adopted byâ€"the R. C. A. F. is not without preâ€" cedent in other countries. For exâ€" ampleâ€"New Zealand men are reâ€" They have not had extended to them the policy adopted by the R.C.A. F. in returning officers and men to Canada after completing a stated number of tours of operation. The fuâ€" ture for such members of the army and navy is bleak indeed if present syâ€" stem is to maintain. A young married man away for five years has become a complete stranger to his home and loved ones. The wives of servicemen have done a wonderful job but no child can develop along proper lines with only one parent on which to rely for complete guidance. The father must also play a part. The Canadian Legion has believed for some considerable time that a point would be reached when it would be necessary for Canada to review her manpower policy in order to enâ€" sure prosperous and united Canada in the future. It was inevitable, as the war progressed that this point would eventually be reached and we are convinced that this time has now arrived. There are thousands of men overseas who have completed four or five years service in the army or in the navy. chuck, Homnger Team 2:â€" Schwab Belâ€" anger, Knight, Malme, Parrell, Lewâ€" Ladiesâ€"25¢ Popien.

A "draw" prize at dinner was won by Mrs. Sidney Hughes. The Dome Cup was given to the winners of the Viceâ€"Skips competition â€"and prizes were wooden hostess trays. Winners were Mrs. Tomkinâ€" son‘s with Mesdames Horning, Gillâ€" ham and Whyte, Second prizes in this competition were won by Ms. Proulx with Mrs. Woon, Mrs. Wim. â€" Jones, and â€" Mrs. MaWhinney‘: The prizes were china relish dishes, The great event was the presentaâ€" tion of the Preston East Dome Cup. This was won last year by Mrs. Proulx But was not given then. Accordingâ€" ly it was first presented to Mrs. Proulx, who then presented it to Mrs. Longworth, winner of ‘the cup for the 44â€"45 season. With the cup went four crystal rose bowls. Mrs. Longâ€" worth‘s team comprised _ Mesdames Tomkinson, Mayhew and Hale. worth‘s team comprised Mesdames Tomkinson, Mayhew and Hale. Mr. Countryman, President, made the presentation of prizes, The annual banguet and prize presentation of the Dome Ladies‘ Curâ€" ling Club held last Wednesday in the Airport Hotel was pronounced by the members as "the best yet." Fortyâ€"one Club members enjoyed a chicken dinner after the chairman, Mrs. Gordon Countrymen, called on Mrs. Andy McGinn to propose a toast to ."King and Empire." During the banquet a toast was given by Mrs. Gerald Scott to the "Men‘s Curling Club of the Dome Mine." _ It is realized that the policy we arc suggesting will make it necessary to reconsider the present selective service policies in order that sufficient men can be taken into the armed forces to maintain reinforcement reserves. ‘ This, of courss, will mean a complete _and searching review of those men | now on deferment, in addition to makâ€" ing available every single member of the N. R. M. A. force now in Canada. As far as the deferment men are conâ€" cerned the Legion is convinced that a great proportion of the positions held by these men could be filled with men who have already given service on the fighting fronts. Friday, April 13, saw the closing games for the Bill Doran Fives Trophy. Imps met Legion and took them to town, taking four points and leaving Legion nothing. Seven Up did the same by Aityâ€"Alit. White ‘Cross took four points from P.V. United forfeitâ€" ed four points to Windsor by default. The final standing shows White Cross to be winners of the Doran Trophy. In addition to the Doran Trophy they managed to purloin both the Bruâ€" nette Trophy and the Legion Shield. Taking ways, what? Annual Banquet of Dome Ladies‘ Curling Club Imps have won no games by default in the Doran Trophy League and neither have Seven Up. Eeven Up clashed with White Cross and both teams divided the four points equally between them. P. V. met Legionâ€" Legion still trying to battle with only three menâ€"at that they took an equal share of the points. P. V. 2â€"Legion 2. The game between Aityâ€"Ait and Wanderers took one point. \ United States, after from two years to thirty months; Russia two years, and, ; of course, it is a wellâ€"established fact that Great Britain makes every conâ€" celvable effort to prevent her men reâ€" 'mainlng out of the country for any ‘long drawnâ€"out period. Some of the Dart games were held over from Good Friday to the followâ€" ing week. There were some good games played on April 6tn. That especially of Bull Moose vs. Whits Cross. Moose came out of it with three points, all of which were taken entirely by Bill Nixon, leaving White Cross one point. It is quite apparent that if some of the other teams in the league fought for their points instead of forfeiting them tame‘ly White Cross would not have finished with such a wide margin. On the same evening Windsor held Imps to a single point, taking three points for themselves. In addition there are many men who hold executive and administrative poâ€" sitions in peace time and are now deâ€" ferred because they are urgently needâ€" ed by their firms. This group could very easily be replaced by men of comparative ability who have already seen service. For example,â€" thousands of men formerly employed in agricultural work are now overseas. A comparable numâ€" ber, we fegel sure, are now deferred from military service because they arso engaged in agricultural production esâ€" sential to the nation‘s war effort. It would only seem to be justice to have a gradual switching around of these two groups, and the same can be said for other industries Summer cottages of the area, busiâ€" | nessmen of Littlé Current, C. P. R. otticials and trainmen responsible for operation of the special train, and President Roosevelt on numerous oCâ€" . casions would slip away from affairs of state to renew his : strength in the | Canadian outdoors. The last occasion ‘ was in the first week of August, 1943, ‘ when he spent a sevenâ€"day vacation at Birch Island in the McGregor Bay !sector. His trip on that occasion foâ€" cussed the attention of not only ’sportsmen and sportswomen, but of all citizens of the two countries, on Maniâ€" toulin. Amphibious planes zoomed in â€"every day and returned, presumably â€" to Washington. They carried the presiâ€" dent‘s mail if any mail came in through the postal service. Special telegraph and telephone faciliâ€" ties were set up, as well as twoâ€"way radio systems, to maintain close conâ€" tact with‘ military matters. It was a holiday fishing outing, but it was ro secret, although the actual trip was shrouded in secrecy, that the affairs of state carried on at Birch Island inâ€" stead of in Washington throughout the week. It was long after midnight every night when lights went out on the president‘t train. !

Special to The Advance.. | Deep regrot was expressed in our smail community when word was reâ€" ceived last Thursday of the sudden passing of a great leader and statesâ€" man, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Preâ€" sident of the United States. In his death all felt they had lost a great leader. Many here enjoyed listsning to his broadcasts. He was a man who always practiced what he preached and the seeds sown from his good deeds and kind actions will live on. He has entered his rest, and received the Master‘s "Well Done, Thou Good and Faithful Servant."

South Porcupine, April 18th. Special to The Advance. Tisdale Tennis Club Organizes For the Season A prayer led by Rev. Cook was folâ€" lowed by a reading from Ecclesiasticus â€"44 beginning "Let us now praise faâ€" mous men." The president will not return to Mcâ€" Gregor Bay, but his memory will long be evergrsen by reason of his one holiâ€" day in this area. Much of the interest which has since developed from American sources in the Manitoulin Island region has been due to that event. Many of the _ resort developments projected are predicated on Pres.d2ant Roosebelt‘s selection of Birch Island for his 1943 rejuvenation trip to the Canadian outdcors. The Kiwanis dinner meeting on Monday night in the Airport Hotel took the form of a memorial service for the late President of the U.S.A.â€" Franklin D. Roosevelt. Kiwanian Rev. H. G.

"He thought it would not be after the war was won, but he nitâ€"ly said he would have some fish from McGregor Bay." "He said he was coming back to Birch island...to fish here again," reâ€" ported Donald McKenzie, after the trip was over. Not only did President Roosevelt inâ€" dulge his favourits pastime for a fuil week in lochs and inlets within two hours‘ motoring distance of Sudbury, but he enjoyed phenomenal fisherâ€" man‘s luck, and he promised himseif to return to the sams fishing grounds. He it was who tried to fsed choice Canadian blueberries to the president‘s beloved Scottie, "FPalla." ood Fishing Mr. McKenzile was the official guide of the main party, who directed most of the marine activity in the Whiteâ€" fish region, which produced the 5; pound "wallâ€"sye" (pickerel) and the many goodâ€"sized bass which proved such a delight to President Roosevelt. Bill McGregor acted as guide in loâ€" cating the special black bass swimâ€" ming holes in McGregor Bay. Mr. Bradley was the official guide aboard the U. S. S.
