the Commonwealth was one of the surest ways to maintain the prin- cipals for which the British Em- plre stood in the past.

“In lpeaking to the resolution Lord Cromwell said he believed that in the next fifty years the United Kingdom's population should be reduced from fifty mil- lion to about thirty-five million to provide better sustenance of those remai irlg at home, only the best —the ery beat should migrate.

"As I have already stated it. was a great honour and privilege to be there at this memorable conference and to meet so many of my fellow Britons, who had come such a distance and at. great personal sacrifice. It was a pleas- ure to do my part in entertaining them as a member of the Domin- ion Council, Canadian Legion. All questions of creed, religion or col- or were forgotten, and one very good friend I met was Mr. Abu B. Magba Komllra, a son of the chief of Sierra Leone, a Mohammedan and n well educated gentleman. In passing I remember reading an interview given by Kamara to one of the Ottawa papers, in which he stated he did not. drink or smoke as this was contrary to his religious upbringing, but he could have as many wives as he liked, but he only had one, as one wife could be troublesome enough.

Harmony Prevailed

“Another indication of the com- radeshlp existing between mem- hers of the B.E.S.L. was the fact that we had delegates from both (h! NOfth and South of Ireland, who shared s hotel room in Ottawa throughout the confer- ence, and believe it or not. no hotel damages were reported.

“The Empire delegates were entertained as much as possible during theirahort stay and this entertainment included a trip to Toronto, Niagara Falls and Mont- real. All entertainment was pian- ned in view to show these friends from all over the world our in- dustrial developments end ways of life.

"May I in closing say a few words about our Canadian Legion in Canada and particularly our Provincial organization and our efforts which are about to start in connection with our Poppy Campaign to be completed on No- vember Iltm-Remembrance Day.

"In a few days now the people of Charlottetown and all over the Island will be asked to purchase the poppies, which make it pos- sible for the Canadian Legion to carry on its Welfare work here. This work is important, but I thinlt one thing that perhaps has not been sufficiently stressed is the fact that the ' poppy is the symbol f remembrance-remem- brance o the dead of two world wars.

"Our memories are apt to be a little short, and were it not for this annual poppy sale, I some- times wonder if those who did not lose sons and husbands in the two wars would be as fully con- scious of the sacrifice as they are.

The Poppy Fund

"I do want to stress the impor- tance of this one day in the year being set aside this way.

“Those who have not ‘had the experience with the Poppy Fund may perhaps be inclined to ques- tion whether the Poppy Fund is necessary here in Prince Edward Island, I can assure them it is. It is true that the level of em- ployment in Canada is high, but it is equally true that there are veterans, and veterans’ dependents who cannot work. It ls true that we have in our Acts of Parlia- mel-lt considerable social legisla- tion. but it is equally true that thinll such ll the old age pen- sion, and other similar allowan- ces are inadequate in the face of present living costs. However, and this is a fact. the majority of worthy veterans are people with a very intense personal pride. They have given Canal-la service during war time, many of them on two occasions. They are the type of people who hesitate to ap- proach organized chtlritles. Were It not for the Canadian Lvgltm- and the comradeshlp which was born in war, many of these de- serving cases would not. be known about.

“The Poppy Fund enables the Canadian Legion to assist veter- ans, and veterans‘ dependents, in times of emergency. Every penny collected in Prince Edward Island is used in Prince Edward Island. "I would ask your support and that of the people of Charlotte- town in carrying on this worthy work."

Si. Stephen. N.B. Couple Spending Holiday llere

Fulfilling a wish to see more of the Island than Charlottetown and Summers-tide. are Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Ganong of Ganong Brothers Limited, St. Stephen, N.B., who arrived on the Island yesterday morning to spend a short holiday.

Mr, Ganong, who ls President of the well known chocolate manu- factoring company has made sev- eral business trips to the two largest centres here but never an extended visit. He‘ got off to a fine beginning yesterday as he took full advantage of the won- thcr to view the countryside and many hard working potato pick- ers between Borden and Char- lottetown.

Being a business man, Mr. Gan- ong took time out to do a little work. This was in the form of a discussion with the company's representative on the Island, Mr. Sidney Green, Charlottetown.

Tho widely labelled "GB." Gan- ong's Best, all spring from the one factory in St, Stephen which was founded in 1872 by Mr. Gan. ong's father, Mr. James Ganong and uncle, Mr. G. W. Ganong, former Lieutenant Governor of the Province of New Brunswick.

Rapidity of the company's de. velupment through the Dominion is |een_from the fact that agen- cies were established in Winnin- peg in 1888 and Vancouver in 1891. Export trade was carried on with Newfoundland before that Island became a Province, but duty rates and food laws prevented the ex- port o'f the product to the U.>S.A.

Other Interest:

Mr. Ganong‘! interests have not been confined wholly to business. Hé is a politician and e keen sportsman. From 1930 to 1935 he was an elected representative of New Brunswick in the Parliament at Ottawa and had many dealings with Island representatives among whom were Mr. Chester McLure and the late Senator John A. Mac- Donald, Cardigan.

I-Ie is a strong advocate of the English rugby game as opposed to the Canadian or American game because of its individualistic fea- tures which he clalms is a fine development of initiative, He also claims that the smaller fellows have more of a chance ln the Eng- lish game and as evidence he re- ferred back to his own playing days at U. N. B. when he filled the inside wing slot as a 140- pound line buster.
