The Legion Provides A Helping Hand To FeIlow Comrades From that day in November, 1925, when The Legion was born, thé organization bas endeavored to assist veterans and dependents in solving their various problems. This service bas 'been given en- tirely free to ail who asked, re- gardless as to whether or not they were members of the Legion. Leg- ion branches throughout Canada and the U.S.A. deveioped into "Service Centres" and, as time went by, Provincial and State Commands set up what are known as "Service Bureaux." These were piaced. in charge of trained Adjustment Officers and, for the 20 years of the existence of the Legion, they have rendered a grand service. In Ottawa the Dominion Ser- vice Bureau of the Legion func- tions as part of the Dominion Headquarters, under the control and direction o! the Dominion Executive Council. Most of the cases, which have not 'been suc- cessful, are referred to this Bur- eau. They emanate not only from Legion Branches, Provincial Com- mands, Service Bureaux, but from individuals, M.P.'s, and public bo- dies also. "The Helping Hand" of the Leg- ion bas been outstretched for over 20 years, and the Dominion Ser- vice Bureau records bear witness to the magnificent service ren- dered to veterans of bot4~ wars. It has neyer been the poiicy of the Legion to advertise its suc- cesses to any extent but, with thousands of veterans o! Worid War 2 now members of the Leg- ion, it is thought necessary to in- form them briefly o! the valuable service being rendered by their organization.., Down through the years, thou- sands of men who served' in Worid War I, and their dependents, were established on pension, and, aiso received medical an&, hospital treatment free. When World War 2 commenced in September, 1939, the Dominion Coxhmand of the Legion were instrumental in hav- ing the Government declare, by Special Order-in-Council P.C. 2491, that ail the benefits of The Pension Act would be provided for those who enlisted. Through- out the war, the Legion were very active in protecting the rights of the disabled and their depend- ents, besides securing the best possible rehabilitation.

Dryden, manager o! the Royal Winter Fair, Toronto, was host at a dinner in the Adminis- tration Building, Thursday, Nov. 7, to some 75 members o! the Press and Radio who were called together at bis invitation to re- ceive' bis congratulations for a swell job done in directing public attention to tbe reopening o! the Royal, following its suspension during tbe war years. The dinner was in the nature o! a preview of the renovations tbat bave taken place prior to the grand opening, Nov. 12. Following the dinner the entire party was escorted over the 25 acres o! floor space by Col. H. C. McKendrick who is assistant to the manager and Board o! Directors. Guests at the head table were Hon. T. L. Kennedy, Minister o! Agriculture for Ontario and Mayor R. H. Saunders, Toronto, who extenided both a provincial and civic welcome. Othe'rs at the head table were City Clerk Som- ers, City Treasurer Lascelles, Con- troiler McCallum, Mrs. Skaitb and Miss Margaret Kellett, represen- tative o! the Harry E. Foster Ag- ency in charge o! public relations. Mr. Dryden complimented the press and raddo for their mani- fest interest in promoting the live- stock and. general agricultural in- terests o! Canada as represented at the Royal and paid tribute to the splendid co-operation o! El- wood Hughes, Manager, Canadian National Exhibition, who was also present as guest. Col. Kennedy view the Royal as a real barometer o! Canadian agriculture, which with the C.N. E. were planning constructively to meet the very greatly changed conditions following the war. Re- opening these exhibitions he'term- ed a real vitamin in the change over from the dance hall and jazz age. Mayor Saunders congratulated Manager Dryden and the Royal Directorate for getting the fair under way. Both the Royal and the C.N.E. he heid to be good for the city o! Toronto, good for On- tario, good for Canada as a whole. He extended a civic welcome to the great numbers wbo wouid be guests o! the city during the fair. The dînner gathering included representatives o! the leading dailies, the farm journals, the weeklies and outstanding radio commentators. T h e Oshawa Times-Gazette was represented by Tom Wilson, The Statesman by its Farm Editor, Arthur L. Baker, and, Clarence V. Charters, former ,Managing Director, C.W.N.A., was spokesman for the weeklies.

A sound home is one which doesn't break within and cannot be cracked from without. "I'd like 11,506,651* others to hear this" c'No Post mortems!" warned Ida, glancing at Ruth. "The game's over. Besides, your husband looks 'as though he has something on his mind." .«I sure have," said Bill. "Only I'd like the other 11,506,651 Canadians to hear this too. To-day I got hold of some figures that made me proud of the business l'm ini. We Canadiaris now own more than 10 billion dollars worth of life insurance. And payments? During 1945 atone, the companies paid out about 661/ million dollars to widows, children and other beneficiaries. And another 95 million dollars was paid to living policyholders through matured endowments, dividends, disability claims, annuities and cash surrender values. That's what ife insurance is doing for us Canadians. "These life insurance benefits helped to pay off mortgages on homes, start youngsters off to college, settle older people into comfortable retirement. Countless fami- lies have thanked their stars for life insurance in time of need. Many, many others who are now building future security through their policies will be glad of it. But I want every living Canadian to realize theý importance of Life Insurance." ~Iu 010*r Ma àlbrings you t'ON..THE-SPOT" reporting from the capitals of the world through excLusive NEW YORK TIMES FOREIGN NEWS SERVICE By cable, telephone, short wave radio, 54 foreign correspondents of the famous New York Times staff bring the world's news to you every morning in The Globe and Mail.
