portunity to ,express its ,appreciation
tothe ipubli,c 'for :the :support, always
:generously given for any appeal for
funds 'which are care'full'y and ecbn-
onai'cally administered for .,the benefit
of ,local returned soldiers.
It is considered advisable to again
remind bhe public 'regarding the 'act-
ivities of canvassers who claim to be
selling articles the return's from 'which
lin
are said 'to b'ene'fit ex -service 'men and
the Legion .wishes Ifo', go en record as
strongly d'is'approving of this system
of ap'pealin'g to the public. 'Recently
this town was canvassed by persons
selling articles bearing the caption
"This ,benefits a returned ,soldier."
:Some .people'may have purchased from
these vendors under bhie impression
that the returned men ,of 'this com-
munity were •benefiting when 'as a
matter of fact the principal benefic-
iaries are 'the canvas's'ers who never
saw active service. ;Such misrepresen-
tation is regretted by members of the
local Legion and .in 'jus'tice to them
the pu'b'lic is acquainted with the
facts. 'O'ccasionally the )Legion offic-

Y
night by defeating ITuckersm'ith 0-1.
Egmondville blanked IS't. Cbdirnrb,an
4-0 in the first game.
The game between St. Co'lu'mban
and 'E,gmondlville was not as uneven
as the 'score might indicate, although
Egrnondvil'le had the best of play. St.
Golu'mban was dangerous at times.
The St. Cokumban boys tried frant-
ically to scare, but MdGeoc'h could
not 'be beniten. Jim a31orris starred for
•E'gmond'ville, while fi'm (Lane was best
for St. 'Co'lumib'an.
The line-ups: Egtmandvil'le—R. Me-
IGeoch, goal; H. McMillan and W.

Winlih'ro'p ,outscored Tu:ckersm'ilth
3-1 in a hard-fought but 'fairly clean
game. Winthrop scored two goals in
the first period. No penalties were re-
ceived in the first period ,and only one
in 'he second.
It looked as though Tuekersm'lth
would. tie the score. They played four
men, forward M th'e last part of the
game.
This game n -as more interesting 'to
watch but lagged, at times, due to pen-
alties in the last period. Neither team
seemed able to 'beat the net mi'nd'ers,
although near the last of the game
Montgomery was peppered with shots
from every angle.
TWO more games are being played
on Wednesday night and on Saturday
night a sudden death game between
Egmondville and 'Tuckersmith, with
winners to meet Winthrop in the fin-
als,

BYLAW AROUSES INTEREST.
The first case smiler the new meat
bylaw since the recent meeting of
the town council was held in the
town hall on Saturday morning when
Mr. Carl Dalton of MclKillop came
before 'Magistrate Greig in the nature
of a test case, and ruling was re-
served for a ;week. Enthusiasm of the
spectators was sufficiently great to
require a warning that the court
room would be cleared if there was
not better order.
The "beefing," both pro and con
over this bylaw is considerable, says
one local punster, There is no doubt
the bylaw is a live issue, for no sooner
was 'last week's News off the press
than we had inquiries'; why the date
of the council meeting dill not ap-
pear iii the report. The answer to
'that was easy it was inadvertently
overlooked. But when somebody else
comes along wanting to know the
reason the motions appearing in the
News were given in detail, as usual,
and another paper printed only a
summarized 'version -',Why ask us?
