Peoples Society he had an or- atorical contest and a debate among the members. With all this, and his Sunday services, as well as many other gatherings in the interest of his work, he. together with Mrs. McC1are. could always find time to help out musically in any social event that was in aid of the com- munity, and this past season. their elder son, John Arthur, showed much musical ability by singing on several occasions. Their willingness to sing was even keener after the East Baltic Sunday School presented Mr. McClare with an autoharp.

At the Women’s Institute meeting a few nights later, Mus. McClare was given a coffee table by the members. Not long afterwards Rev. Mr. l\/Ec‘Cla:iie received a gift of money from the Film Council; an Island

The C. G. I. T. which was or- ganized by Mrs. McC1are gave her a linen damask table cloth. She was‘ a faithful member of the Missionary Societies and was presented with a pop-up toaster by the Baptist group and a pair of nylon blankets by the South Lake one.

At the morning service of their last Sunday in the East Point area. they were given a silver plate and a pair of pillow cases by the South Lake Sunday School at the evening service they were presented with a substantial sum of money from the community. Rev. and Mrs. M-cCl‘are will be greatly missed in the area where they were tireless work- ers.

OTTAWA JOTTINGS ll

At Edmonton

As mentioned in my last col-

umn, this week’s review will deal mainly with my trip as a delegate to the bienn-ial conven- tion of the Canadian Legion at Edmonton. _ ‘This “Veterans Parliament”, as it is commonly called, is the largest Dominion-wide conven- tion held regularly, and the 23rd held this year brought the larg- est number of delegates ever to attend.

So long as there are veterans and their dependents to be cared for by a grateful country, there will be some veterans‘ problems. The Canadian Legion since early after World War I has been the voice of the veterans of Canada and the intermediary on their behalf to the Government. In general their submissions have been well considered, prepared and presented keeping in mind the reasonable limitations of the Canadian tax-payer. VETERANS’ CHARTER

At the end of World War II the Legion did a particularly good job in being the advisory force which guided the Government in formulating that excellent piece of legislation called the “Veter-

ans Charter". Although I had been through Western Canada a number of

times, it is always a pleasure to set out again over the broad expanses of our great nation. The trains on both of our main lines are comfortavble, well- equipped and make good time which compensates for the many hours one must spend on them for a trip of this length.

After the first night on the train one is rather disappointed to find at daylight that the scen- ery has deteriorated to a con- tinuous panorama of small lakes and country composed mainly of rock and muskeg..T'his is West- ern Ontario —. a very rugged and barren country indeed.

Finally this grim territory was behind us and we came to the low level flatlands of southern

Convention

By John A. Macdonald, M.P. "Manitoba.

One could see for miles and miles with the coun- tryside sprinkled with neat farm- houses, surprisingly small farm out-buildings and plenty of large and expensive farm equipment about the places. A one hour stop and a chance to stretch at the great terminal city of Win- nipeg provided a much needed break in the trip.

ON TO SASKATCHEWAN

Beyond Winnipeg the country continued in the same pattern as before until we passed into the western part of the province and on to Saskatchewan. Then the terrain became more a rolli-ng and hilly area with more scrub trees in evidence. There were few cattle to be seen grazing on the ranges. F-arms again were scattered miles apart with a vil- lage every twenty miles or so containing the inevitable cluster of grain elevators, large yards filled with new and used ma- chinery, a number of stores and other business esitablishmentis to complete the pattern.

Passing through Sasloatoon some of us recalled our trip to the Legion Convention there just ten years ago. Soon we were in Alberta where the scenery changed but little except that there seemed to be more beef cattle in evidence on the farms As we drewmearer our destina- tion (by t'racksidel., there were many yards filled with pipe re- minding us that we were in the most oil-rich province in the Dominion.

AT EDMONTON

The City of Edmonton is typi- cal of all the newer‘ western cities and towns. As their,p1an- ning is of relatively recent years, they are well laid out with wide streets and clean new buildings in the downtown area and beautiful homes in the sub- urbs. The muddy Saskatchewan River divides the city, and be- lieve it or not, there is naval

training estabelishnient called H. M. C. S. Non Such in this north western outpost so far from the sea. The people are extremely friendly. in what they claim is the fastest growing city propor- tionately in Canada, and made us very much at home during our stay.

We met many former Island- ers there and‘ space allows me to single out only one -— with possibly some prejudice due to local pride — in the person of His Honour Lieutenant Governor John J. Bowlen, who spent his ear-ly days in Cardigan. A very

popular figure, Governor Bowlen ,

typifies the growth of this thriv- ing Western Province, and at eighty-two carries out his duties with exemplary dignity and —-ef- ficiency. A biography has re-

cently been written of him by a-

young Edmonton newsman under the title of “Vice Regal Cow- boy”, which has attained a very wide sale and depicts his color- ful and highly successful career as a rancher, politician and bus- inessman.

A HUGE SUCCESS —

The Legion Convention was 3 huge success from every point of view. There was the largest

number of delegates in attend- ance and membership records are the highest ever. No very contentions subjects were in evi- dence. Legion work on behalf of the ex-servicemen and ex-ser- vicewomen and their dependents is becoming more a matter of fringe benefits as the broad prin- ciples of such legislation has solidified to a large extent. Many reports of standing and special committees were pre-

sented as well as a variety of.

resolutions veterans prob- lems. The convention voted against joining the Worlds Vet- erans Federation and decided to drop the'B. E. S. -L. after its name. This was necessary as the parent body had changed its name last year to British Com- monwealth Ex+serviceman’s Lea- gue. and such changes might occur again. From now on the organization will be incorporat-

The Bridgetown Women’s In- stitute on Wednesday evening, held their annual banquet at the Bison Restaurant in Montague. Present at the banquet were

ed as “The Canadian Legion" only. Detailed reports on the convention will be published in the next issue of the Legionary which will be of great interest to all veterans.

This week a simple ceremony took place outside the House of Common-s. Prime Minister Die!- enbaker walked from his west. block office to the statue of Sir John A. Macdionald —~nearby. At the foot of the statue he placed a wreath with the simple in- scription “In Proud Memory.” The event was noted by the Can- adian Press and Canadians across the nation were reminded it is sixtysix years since our nation's outstanding statesman passed away.
