SECRETARY ADDRESSES l)RANCH The regular monthly meeting of the Canadian Legion, AVest Vancouver branch, which was held in the Legion rooms last ~londay night, was the largest i» point of numbers in the his- tury of the branch. The ques- tion of the completion of the new meeting house now in course of construction was thoroughly dis- cussed, and it is hoped to shortly make such financial arrange- ments as will enable this to be done. A committee with Rev. A. I larding Priest in charge was appointed to make the necessary arrangements for the holding of the annual church parade on Armistice Sunday. C. &IacNichol, the provincial secretary of the Legion, paid his first official visit to the branch, and gave a most interesting ad- dress, reviewing the ivork of the organization in B. C. and tliroughout the country gener- ally. The Legion, he said, had only been in existence a few years but in that time had grown from four hundred bran'ches Nith a membership of 20,000 to seven hundred a»d seventy-six branches having 80,000 on its roll. A member organization of the British Empire Service League which was the largest institution in the empire, it was recognized by the government as representing the aims and ob- jects of ex-service men through- out Canada. It had done good work and was doing good work for the ex-service men and re- gardless of whether they were members or not of the organiza- tion. To help in this work an adjust- ment bureau was maintained in Ottawa. He spoke of the work being done by the Legion in B. C., referring particularly to its efforts in securing government appointments for ex-service men. Compared with the other prov- inces, B. C. had a very large number of pensioners giving par- ticulars as follows: The first figures being popula- tion and the next pensions: Ontario .... 3,271,300 16,244Quebec... 2,690,000 3,604 Sask.............. 866,700 3,11G ihlanitoba..... 663,200 4,927 Alberta..... 646,000 3,944 B.

I. 86,100 He went into the matter of the distribution of the Canteen Fund and stated the provincial com- mand had obtained the promise of the Victoria authoi'ities to spend $250,000 on the construc- tion of a separate building for ex-service men at Essondale. Refreshments were served at the conclusion of the meeting. &'ULL KNOWLEDGE OF ASSETS BEFORE Ab Y ACTION OiN RAILWAY EVhen asked if he had any in- formation to divulge relative to the settlement of the Pacific Great Fastern Railway problem, Premier S. F. Tolmie stated that the survey of the line which is being jointly conducted by the government, Canadian National Railways and Canadian Pacific Railway, is progressing favor- ably and that definite informa- tion in connection with the re- sults of the survey will be a- vailable about the first of the cnming year. "It has been stated by the gov- ernmeiit on more than one oc- casion that it will await the re- sults of this survey before taking any defiiiite action in connection with the P.G.F. railway," said Premier Tolmie. He added that the government feels it should have full knowledge of the assets in connection with the road be- fore it attempts to dispose of them."

Didn". you tell us yesterday that a pen- iiisula divas a neck of dirt?' THE I'ASSING OF iiIR. A. HARVEY On Thursday, October 3rd, AIr. Alex Harvey, who was well known in this community, passed away. Born at Lisburn, near Belfast, he came to Canada in 1904. Mr. Harvey had served in Ireland as a tea blender with the great tea emporium of Foster Green.

In 1922 Mr. Harvey came to the Pacific Coast spending one year in Vancouver and the last six years in )Vest Vancouver. It is of great interest to know trat the late Mr. Harvey's grand- mother was a sister of Sir Rob- ert Peel, the great English Com- moner. For some two years or more the deceased suffered from seri- ous physical weakness which slowly sapped his vitality until the end came this past week. He leaves to mourn his depart- ure his ivife and son Alex. Har- ron Bros. & williamson of North Vancouver had charge of the funeral services which were con- ducted in the IVest Vancouver United Church by the minister, Rev. Dr. E. A. Henry.
