' Margeson, member of the Pensions Board of Canada, whose name is well-known in military eir- cles, has been forced to leave Ottawa {| on a long vacation to regain his shat. "| tered strength. He 'has been at Hot Springs, Virginia, but it is believed that he will soon be able to return to carry on a work which has won | for him the respect and admiration | 1916 he was recalled to Canada by | of his associates and all with whom he has come in coatact inan-ofcial way. » *By his work on the Pensions Board at Ottawa, Col. Margeson has estab lished a reputation for fair dealing in the adjusiment and administration of pensions to veterans that has spread across the Dominion and even to United States, which is substan tiated by the fact that he went to Washington this year at the invita. tion of the United States Governs ment to act in an advisory capacity to the Pensions Department there. Lieut.-Col. Margeson has been one of the most strenuous workers on bes half of returned soldiers in the Doms inion and his appointment as Pen sions Commissioner in September last year was exceptionally popular because of the fact that his ability and experience thoroughly fitted him for that high office, and the onerous duties attached to it. Formerly a member of the law firm of McLean and Margeson in Bridge water, Nova Scotia, Col. Margesom Was gasetted a K.C. in 1918. He is a graduate of Acadia College and Dalhousie University and when in the east was regarded as one of its most brilliant barristers. Col. Margeson sat for two Parliaments in the Legis lature of Nova Scotia for the county of Lunenburg. In 1917 he resigned from the Legislature and contested Lunenburg for the House of Com- mons, but was defeated in a strong anti-conseription constituency. He enlisted in December, 1914, with the 26th Battalion and went to France with that famous fighting unit.

Becoming inspector of pay ae counts and records of Military Dis. trict No. 2, at Toronto--the largest military district in Canada--in 1917, at the request of the military authori ties he organized the Pay and Allows ance Board, waere in the year 1218, decisions were given in over 91,000 cases. When Col. Margeson became Pen- | sions Commissioner he was determin- ed that as far as lay in his power every one who came to interview him on questions of pensions should re- ceive every consideration it was pos sible to give. He is never too busy to hear any complaint no matter how trivial---or who is the complainant-- and it is this democracy and anxiety to be af service to returned men that has made him popular with the Veterans, It is seldom that one enters the office of Col. Margeson after hours without finding him at work cleaning | up & bunch of filles. To his legally | trained mind there is never a knotty | ) i case or a puzzling fille that is not soon reduced to simplicity itself une der his analysis. . Indicative of the magnitude of the tasks which face the Pensions Board is the fact that the sum of $29,000, "74 | 000 was paid out in pensions by the board between September 30, 1916, and September 30, 1919. During 1920 the board contpmplated spending about $26,000,000 in the fiscal year. On September 30, 1919, the board had paid in Canada and all over the world, except United States and Great Britain, a total of 67,749 pensions, A total of 3,265 pensions were paid in the United States and 7,776 im Great Britain. On July 31, 1916, the total number of depenlents was 16, 872; disabilities, 66,998; wives of disabilities, 23,168; children of dis- abilities, 52,151, forming a grand to- tal of 148,189 pensions. When the Parliamentary Commit- tee on Pensions thoroughly went into the matter of a higher rate of pen~ sions in Canada, Col. Margeson's ad- vice and his recommendations were regarded as invalua by the come mittee and veterans drawing pensions now under the revised scheme owe him a deep debt of gratitude. The fact that the Canadian pensions are considerably higher than those of any other country speaks well, moreover, for his interest on behalf of the re- turned men and widows of deceased soldiers, Latterly Col. Margeson had given & great deal of study to the returned Soldiers' insurance plan. Indeed he Win, to a large tens, responsible for originating the scheme, of which hundreds of veterans have taken ad- | yantage.

The appeal says: "Two monumental undertakings are the clearance of the eleventh and eighteenth dynasty temples of Deir e] | Banari, visited by every tourist at Thebes, and at Abydos, the Osireion, | the temple of the underworld, ded}. | cated by Merenptah, Pbaraoh of the Exodus, and richly decorated by him with texts from the 'Book of the Dead!

You must forget the lowering clouds and Impending storms, Their present hindering will but swell the tide flowing your way later, There's something godlike in the en- thusiastie soul. Enthusiasm paints its Own stars In the mental firmament and then draws from them light, You might as wall try to pull the sun from the sky as to hinder the youth who is led by enthusiasm. His life 1s too buoyant to he held down by oppres- sion. Injustice merely makes him a martyr and wins the crowds to him, And when he feels the opposition of unthinking men he will rige to greater heights as he thrills those who listen with the story of his wrongs.
