dailies herald too get news garbled it isnt often that we copy a news item directly from a daily paper and when we do it always tons out to be one with a few in- accuracies such was the case last week when we used an item from a city daily about the neaimirowning at a acute of the ontario steel co at milton no sooner was the item in print than fire chief jack harlow called to put us straight on the news it seems that the picnic was at wat erfalls playground rather than terra cotta playground and that rather than calling georgetown firemen to bring the inhalator to the scene a local doctor alerted them to stand by at the fireball with the resuscitator fortunate ly their help was not needed just to show that the dailies are not the only ones who garble the hews however rave made a couple

july 14th the department was called to the 7th line where fire spread while a resident was burning an old tree later in the afternoon a call came from norval where a grass fire had suited on the noble farm pro perty near the bndge a third call that evening was caused by a fire a dump at the old tower paper mill property the next day a fourth call took firemen to the railway property on john street for a similar unguishing job in no case did any damage re sult above all the main function of the legion is the perpetuation of i the memory of the ones who paid the supreme sacrifice and to prom ote

perpetuate the memon and deeds of those who hae fillcn or who died in future to promok and care for memorial to their valour and sacnfict to provide suitable burial to ktep an annual memor ial day it

in having the federal government cs tabhssh an act setting aside the date of november 11th as a na4 tonal remembrance da there is still verj little active remembrance on that day along with a great many more legionnaires we will never be satisfied until it a proper holiday treated as such by all lev els of government and b manage ment and labour alike in this regard we were shodtod to hear of the move on foot in this province by the chamber of com mcrce to have the holiday scrap ped and wc were further shock d to hear of the movement or foot again in flftis province by various boards of education to have the day no longer observed we would judge that it would be a brave government at any level that would ever tread so heavily on the toes of canada sveterans s to even contemplate such legi slation one really must learn not to take life too seriously especially when it comes to ntchtnviahties as casting opes vote in a provin dal election- well meaning and arnest students of poltical econ have been urging us in local and national press that it is our loal and bounden duty and pnv- feges to roll along to the polling station and make our mark now in metropolitan toronto and other places where these matters are given some thought and large placards and loud speakers are on hand to guide the wavering- el ectorate into the straight and nar row paths to the booths this is all very well in the average roaring hamlet it is a different kettle of fish entirely having recently stood in some awe in the chamber of the legis lative assembly in toronto and seen the desk where sits our own honourable m noted what does and does not get done in and around town it seem ed as the expert said a privilege which any rightthinking person does not ignore in spite of the humid not threats of the weauherman therefore si multaneously with the departure of the children for school where presumably in their social study lesson they would be handed an inkling of what it was all about we sallied forth to cast our vote we sallied in fact to the place where we remembered voting pre- viously only to find that the prop rietor of this excellent establish- ment far from having his prem ises used as a polling station did not seem to know that there was an election on somewhat shat tared but not to be ao easily out done we became among those ha ted folk who worm their way into a service station and beg permis sion to use the phone gladly gi ven by a barrassed mechanic from the depths of a sixcylinder having sought in vain the ad vice of a leading member of the community we finally pulled our selves together sufficiently to think of the committee room dialling wildly we made contact with a gentleman in the committee room who told us that he knew there was an election on but that ha was sorry he could not tell us where we could find our polling subdivi sion on being asked somewhat pointedly for the telephone num ber of the opposition he promis ed to ring us back after twenty minutes he did wc realized taat we had now walked noarl two mil es and that we had passed our goal in the first two hundred yards of our hike lacking even the heart to go and have a coffee we retraced our damp footsteps and recognized our polling station not by a nice large placard vote here nor by a loud speaker nor even by a nice stead trickle of residents taking advantage of their privile ges come
