J CORRESPONDENCE To the Editor: This appeal is to the Ex-ser- vice men of West Vancouver, in the form of an invitation to be- come members of our local branch of the Canadian Legion. "The Legion" stands for loy- alty to the reigning sovereign, Canada and the Empire. For a strong and united com- radeship among all those who have served in His Majesty' forces throughout the Empire; so that neither their rights, their duties, nor their interests shall be forgotten, and so that their welfare and that of the de- pendents of the disabled and the fallen may be safeguarded. This branch wns formed in 1926 and is the oldest of three branches of the Legion now op- erating on the North Shore. 'Meetings and social events are all held at our Legion Hall and it is hoped that in the very near future the Club Rooms will be comfortably furnished snd equipped for the use of mem- bers. Ex-service men of West Van- couver, who are not already members, I appeal to you to make your local Legion Branch an organization worthy of the magnificent cause of unselfish- ness and sacrifice for which it stands. For any further particulars give me a call at West 138-L, or write to the Secretary, Canadian Legion, West Vancouver Branch P.O. Dundarave, B. C., or phone him at West 410-L. Yours very truly, B, H. HARRISON, President, SUCCESTIONS: Friday aud Saturday, April 17 8 18 THE WEST VAN NEWS 1 ICEROY JOINS CANADIAN I.EGION The Earl of Bessborough ls now a member of the Canadian Legion. In his application for member- ship His Excellency gave his oc- cupation as "Governor General of Canada," his service as 1914- 1918, his rank on discharge as "Captain." "As s member of the British Legiono said his Excellency in a message to veterans, ol am proud to join the Canadian Legion nlso, for I well know how much the Legion has done throughout the Empire to per- petuate the beet legacy of the war, a spirit of fellowship and confidence between all ranks of the Expeditionary Forces." THF BURNING BUSH By Subadar In Chicago they are testing out a "truth serum," with which if it works, they hope to get from criminals some inside in- formation on their activities. The only trouble is that under its benign infiuence others be- sides criminals are liable to be getting a lot of truth oif their chests, and then think'f the family skeletons that will be re- vealed. A great many of us will have to take oif for the moon, for the earth certainly will be too hot to hold us. There will be such revelations in the parlia- ments snd legislatures of the world, and what of election cam- paigns with EVERY politician speaking the truth 7 Asforsocisl functions with the truth spoken on all sides, they will be more popular and much more hectic than the most gruelling prize fight that was ever fought. The Irish of the earth at any rate for once will be able to get all the fighting they crave. April 17. 1981 JEFFERlES'UPERlOR MEATS Government Inspected Only LAMB, BEEF, PORK, VEAL, ETc.

Winston Churchill s recent de- cided stand on India has put him in the political wilderness. His action has caused some jubila- tion and not a little surprise a- mong "the frocks." However, (Vinston knows his India, and he knows just what he is doing. He will soon be very much in again snd all "the frocks" out, for the latter have failed to note that Ghandi has conceded nothing as regards national defence and finance, the only two things that count. It is regrettable that we Canadians fail to realise our destiny for weal or woe is insep- arably bound up with India. "For the North guns, quietly, but always guns," and the die- hards, as always, will die in the last ditch because they are what they are and the mockers are what they are. The King of Spain has stepped down, and, while some may question his wisdom, there are none to doubt his courage. It is somewhat strange that the Spanish people with the evid- ence before them of the world wide failure of all forms of democracy, should yet embrace it at this very late date, chiefiy under the fascination of that most useless kind of human be- ing, an orator. They will prob- ably find that talk is cheap, also that "making the world safe for democracy," translated into practice, means "making the world safe for destruction." Q. C.
