The hall was filled to capacity, the seating accomryda- tion being found inadequate for the number in attendance, and enthusi- asm ran high as plans were made for an intensive membership campaign to be conducted fromm Marzh 3 to March 12. In the absence of the president, the chair was occupied by vice-presi- dent James Aylett, and in the course of the evening twelve new members were formally initiated, and applica- tions for membership by many more candidates accepted. The meeting marked the high water mark of Le- gion activities in the city toXdate, and was a demonstration of the keen interest of the ex-service men of the city in its activities. An interesting feature of the meet- ing was the presentation of a port- rait of Past President Harry Gay, to the branch, to be hung in the Le- gion hall when such a building is available. Membership Drive Chief interest centred in the mem- bership campaign plans, which were fully explained by the chairman of the exccutive. Five teams were ap- pointed, one for each ward in the city, and during the campaign per- iod an intensive canvass will be made of every ex-service man whose name and 'address is in the possession of the committee in charge.

ON BEHALF OF THE OSHAWA Kiwanis Club, I wish to express our heartiest thanks to the citizens of Oshawa, and to members of the other local service clubs, who so wholeheartedly assisted in making the Kiwanis Winter Fair so suc- cessful.

Adby Despite the fact that Commissioner James Hay was unable to make his official visit Oshawa last night, a fine meéting was conducted in the local Salvation Army citadel. Colonel Richard Adby, Toronto, Commander of the young people's work in Canada East, conducted the service and gave a fine address. Although the commander for Can- ada East and his wife were detained through illness, and were not able to be present, their daughter, Staff Cap- tain Hay, assisted in the service. Ma- jor and Mrs, Ritchie, divisional com- manders, were also present. Colonel 'Adby spoke principally to the young people, and dirccted his remarks towards the benefits to be derived from constant study of the Bible. He quoted an incident in which the. late Queen Victoria, when she was - ruler of the British Empire, handed an African chief a bible with the words, "This book is the founda- tion of England," and declared that Bible was today as much the foundation of Canada as it was of England. He admonished the con- gregation to pay particular attention Lower Electric Rates tor Westmount Users c;c fendered, by the corps songsicrs The Public Utilities Commission at a meeting held yesterday authorized a reduction in electric rates to the consumers in the Westmount Section on the west City limits, This reduction will approximate a saving of 10 per cent to the aver: age Westmount consumer which will correspond closely with the reduction to Oshawa consumers last November, reduction the Westmount electric light users did not partici- in which pate.

Brilliant work by Gross, who engineered two passes, gave Voss and, Marun opportunities to cage thé puck and knot the score. Martin slipped the rubber past Cox with six seconds to go.

Despite the close work, the play was clean, only five penalties 'being handed out in the seventy minutes play, Neither team could dent the net in the ini- tial period.

These rooms have now been found too small for the Legion meetings, the hall being packed last night, and many of the members being un- able to secure seats, In order to sccurc a hall large enough for the two general meet- Ings per month, the Legion has re- quested the city council to allow the war veterans to use the coun- cil chamber at the city buildings for the meetings on the second and fourth Thursdays of every month. The Legion, it is pointed out {in the request sent to the eouncil, 18 not a wealthy organiza- tion, since its membership fees sover only the bare cost of carry- ing on the branch business, and for that reason the privilege of meeting in the council chamber is sought.

Friend and Verland will be the guest artists at this concert and will be heard in two duets, "Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah," by Mansing and "Forever with the Lord," by Gounod. Both these vocalists need no introduction to the music loving public of Oshawa, as they have appeared on the con- cert platform in this city on many occasions and have always been very warmly received. The entire program, which will be of a sacred and educational nature, promises to be particularly interest- ing to those who listened to it over the radio. Two instrumental num- bers by members of the band will also feature the program, One, a trombone solo by Bandsman Lee en- titled "A Drean," was one of the request numbers which arrived too late to bé played on the evening of the broadcast.
