discouraging to your officers to sit in at a meeting to flmh5 members out of a total of over 100 and carry on the duties of office in a propr manner the meeting is held in your interests and mine for

io haw rades there is only one way to con duct a business or organisation and that is the straight line no in be- bweens jhere is tbe right way and the wrong way elections are not far away and to day is the time to look over your pro- seouve candidates and pick out the members for office whom you think would occupy the position of officers of this branch let byeeonea be byegones what has happened in the past cannot be remedied so if you have an axe to grind tbe tune is almost here to elect officers who will do away with pos sibly some of your grievances be a faithful comrade by attending the meeting voicing youflpprovai or dis approval when questions are brought to the floor stop criticising and work in the interest of your branch another question the question of the jmperiabj is not understood as it should be this section called imperials is approved by the dominion command and works in the interests of the imperials who are affiliated to the legion the chair man of the imperials is on the le gion executive so should the pre sident of the legion be on the cxecu tive of the imperials in that way undue criticism would be banished veterans of this war today more than ever ourhbranch should with open arms welporne our fighting boys now returning to can ads and see that they are approached to join the legion on their arrival a great problem faces these men return ing they are veterans of this war and no doubt if they are numerous enough will form some organization of their own today you can read in the dally press advertisements inviting the re- turn men of today to get in touch with some new organization of their own this should not be so the le gion has room to welcome and ac cept these men and work in their interests anotpess on to them the know ledge we already have to offer the writer having been elected last year to the position of publicity and transportation in the above remarks has expressed his own feelings and has no reflections on the present
