say that was an honor which I will long remember. our first meeting was on what we refer to as Cem- etery Sunday, when we gather to

pay honor to our d com- rades who rest in our Island soil. The parade last year was large, and services were held in four cem- eteries and poppy wreaths plaoed in each.

Then on November the eleventh we held our customary parade and rnemoral service. which has become so...muoh s. part. of the observance of Remembrance Day. On this oc- ° casfon too our parade was one of the largest in our history, and ev- oked many complimentary remarks from spectators. 0n this occasion we had distinguished participants in the ceremony in the persons of ' IHis Honor the Lieuten ‘-Govern- or, and Brigadier H. P. H. Hertz- ! berg, C. M. G., D. S. 0.. M. C., both of whom placed wreaths upon the ' memorial.

' Our annual sale of poppies was oonduc‘ ’ as is customary, and met with a considerable degree of success. as has been shown by the report of the committee in k _ . " As ‘in previous years we had ' found that conducting s. dance at the Canadian National Hotel was not a financially succesful under- taking. we made an agreement with the Army and Navy Club by which they held their Annual Mili- tary Ball upon Armistice Eve, and turned the entire profits over to the legion as s contribution to our work for the returned men. On this occasion we received a substantial sum which we in turn contributed to the‘ work of the Service Bureau at Ottawa.

We sponsored s moving picture- an English production "Channel Crouing" with very gratifying re- sults. Ih this connection I should like to make mention of the gener- osity of His Excellency the Bishop of Charlottetown and two of his clergy who contributed $40.00 to the relief funds of our branch.

We had the privilege of receiving the oihcial visit of the Provincial President-Comrade W. s. Hughes. M. M. and on the same evening the honor of entertaining Lieutenant.- General Sir Richard Turner, v. C.

when the Province, along with the rest of the Innolre. celebrated the Sliver Julflte of their Males- tles the Legion was given the place of honor. and led the great parade through the city.

It was disappointing to _ radio listeners that Premier Hepburn was only left thirty-nine minutes in which to broadcast his message overflle air tothe peopleoi Prince Edward Island. Station C. H. G. S. announced that Premier

air at 8 p. m. Curling Rink Silmmerside and at 10 p. m. a Conservative program would be on the air. But unfor- tunately Mr. A. E. MacLean and local Liberal candidates were so anxious to place their views before the audience that little time was left for the guest speaker of the evening.

Mr. A. J. Mathieson, President of the West Prinod Liberal As- sociation, who was slated to in- troduce the Premier of Ontario perhaps thought he was paying him a compliment in taking up over_15 minutes of the time allot- ed to Mr. Hepburn in giving a. geo- graphy lesson on the size of On- tario and stating its various pro- ductions until a person in the aud- fence getting tired of the long list of prod-uots shouted out "and the Dionne quintuplets." .

There was an audience of about 1200 in the Curling Rink to hear Premier Hepburn at the opening meeting of the Liberal party in Prince County. Mr. A. J. Matilieson O'Leary, President of West Prince Liberal Association and Mr. James MacCardle, Kinkora, President of East Prince Liberal Association Jointly presided at the meeting. On the platform were A. E. Mac- Lean, Liberal candidate for Prince County. Hon. John Sinclair, Hon. Cr lmarl MacArthur, Senators, 'J. J. Ilerabee, Eldon, Mr. Peter Sin- clair, Charlottctown, members of the local Legislature and a. num- ber of ladies and gentlemen.

Mr. James MaoCardle welcomed the visitors in a short address and then called on Mr. Iiarabee, Liber- al candidats for Queens County to address the’ meeting. Mr. Peter Sinclair, Charlottetown, another’ Liberal candidate next addressed the audience. Mr. A. E. Macllelin was next called upon and opened the liberal campaign officially in Prince County.

Secondly: I did not have the hon- 0r of presiding over many meetings of this branch until the realization was forced upon me that if the branch was to continue to function with any degree of enthusiasm the monthly meetings must be made so interesting as to attract mem- bers who had fallen out of the habit of attending. In th_|5..re.-. spect too. I feel that your retiring executive can, without undue im- modesty claim to have made some PTOBTQSB. Is evidenced by the very splendid attendance which was ac- corded the meetings during the lat- ter part of the year. I too recom- mend this question of making our mceilha: intersstius. to those who will guide our destinies during the coming year. .

Thirdly: And this is not a mes- sage to you as a branch but as in- dlviduals, some of whom are con- cerned. Thele is the question of unemployment. or rather of rin- ployment. During the past few yon-rs all too many of our comrades have not been able to secure en- ough work to allow them to live. and take care of their families in the mariner in which anyone who is willing to. and capable of work- ing is entitled. The Canadian Le- gion has been able in some cases to be of assistance, but in other cases we are met with "The veteran for whom you are seeking work is neither capable. nor industrious. and appears to base his whole claim for employment on his services W611i? Yélrs ag ." ‘Ihis is a very unfortunate idea to become abroad, and a very contagious idea, all too likely to spread. and be applied er- roneously to some industrious vet- eran who has worked hard to be- come proficient in his trade. Let's all go to work to eradicate this ex. ilression. Let every man looking for work endeav to become as callable as he possibly can, and d!!!" I 10b upon his ability. Then "hi!" the Lesion can recommend a man as industrious. wnmientlous and capable, and add that he’s a Returned Soldier. this latter fact should command a preference. and oil‘ legion should be able to do very rrulch more for all its members in need of assistance.

That comrades. concludes my re- marks. I am leaving this chair with mingled feelings of relief. and regret. Being President is some. "uh: like who through the war.

remarks on behalf of his friend Pielnier Hepburn, he Paid tribute to Conservative candidates in the pest who had opposed him for Federal politics.

Mr. Macfean then went into a long discussion on the reciprocity question going back to 191i and 102i, taking up the time of the meeting with the issues at stake at that time. He also referred to Premier Aberhart of Alberta and his Social Credit system. He also dealt with Leurier’s policies, King's policies and Bennett's , at great length, and the Stevens policy but did not have anything vory constructive to offer the voters. He painted a gloomy pic- ture of the wheat situation and price spreads, high tariffs, etc., and conclud ’ by saying that the Lib- erals intended to, cut away all these entanglements and bring back a measure of prosperity to the country.

Premier Hepburn at the outset of his address regretted that he had only thirty-nine minutes left‘ in which to address an audience on P. E. I. as it would be his last op- portunity orspeakirlg on the ls- land before the election campaign closed. Premier Hepburn gave a comprehensive review of the pol- itical sltuation in Canada, dealing particularly with the industrial situation as he understood it in Ontario. He also spoke on the but- ter and cheese markeu of Canada also from an Ontario viewpoint. He took up some of his time in telling the Island people of the Hydro Power Bond scandal of On- tario, but like the previous speaker did not say much about what the Liberals intended doing to straigh- ten out the many problems con- fronting the people of Canada and especially the farmers of P. E. ll

A- pleasing interlude in the pol- itical argument was the present- ation of a number of songs, sung by Mr. Wisbart Campbell, in a rich baritone voice which brought repeated encores from the aud- ience. He was accompanied by Mrs. Roy Silliphant on the piano. touring with Premier Hepburn. The National Anthem brought the meeting to a. closefl-S. nope he will be fortunate enough to have as faithful, and efficient an executive as l was favored with. To them, and all members of the Branch I extend my sincere thanks for the assistance given me during the time since we met at the last. annual meeting. ‘

Membership Committee Report Comrade President, Comrades,

It is with a deep reuse of satis- faction that I am able to report a very substantial increase in the paid-up membership o1 the branch during the past year. In the year ending i934 only 30 members were in good standing contrasted with 15s this year. Of this number 150 have paid their dues to December 1935 and l5 have paid to Septem- ber 1005, our total membershfl ls 220.

To all who served in the Can- adiarl Corps it must be obvious why every veteran should become a member of the legion. Though we are a non political body. very often we are called upon i0 a5- slst a. comrade to secure a govern- ment appointment, or redress a grievance. At such times the Legion should be able to speak with unity and the backing of many voices. The greater our u * rs. the 8T6"- er will be our influence on those who have the disposal of positions which veterans may seekp

As the years go by, what I 118"‘- lust said about unity and in- clogged membership, in- lncreasingly necessary because as our late Corps leader said. “We be- long to an army to which there earl come no recruits." I would like to add to that, that the Grim Reaper is taking His toll each year and we must close up the ranks, Join the legion and stick with it.

There are other reasons why veterans should support the Lesion as regular members. and para- mount among these is the duty all of us owe to disabled comrades, the widows and orphans of those who did not return, and to those others who returned but. thrallflh unfortunate circumstances and l'.l- ness have not been able to re-es- tabllsh themselves in life. Ever since the Armistice there has been an unceasing struggle on behalf of all those people adversely affected by the war. Year after year the Legion through the close co-cper- stion of its branches and its com- bined mernbershlp has been able to lay beforrparilament p. , ‘- which have benefited thousands of our comrades. many, widows and orphans, and those veterans who for one reason and another needed assistance. This was only possible because thousands of returned men dedicated themselves to the services of the Can n Legion and fought for rights which otherwise would never have been recognised. It.

The total cost of the fon was seem and legislation passed saving the Province many thousands ‘of dollars.

Mrs. J. A. IAWIOI

In welcoming Premier Hepburn, Mrs J.. A. Lawson, the only lady speaker during the afternoon, said the public has followed with inter- est the activities of Premier Hep- burn. Women throughout Canada are taking a more active interest in the political life of Canada and at the last election polled 50 percent of the total vote. "Women are re- garded as good housekee, s." said MIB- Lawson. “and they must have had something to do with the last Provincial election for it was the (‘cleanest sweep the house has ever a .”

Dr. I. J. Yeo also briefly welcom- ed Premier Hepburn and termed him as the great evangelist of the Federal Liberal party in Canada.

Hon. Mitchell F, Hepburn

Thanking the previous speakers for their very flattering remarks, Premier Hepburn also extended his congratulations to Premier 1.0a who outdid his record in Ontario of rap- turlng 71 of the 90 seats.

Mr. Bennett has put into force more unsound theories than any premier before him. He was sure the people in the audience had no political bias, making it easier for him to discuss the New Zealand butter question. Canada was cie- veloping the export of cheese under the Mackenzie King administration and Canadian cheese was com- manding a. two cent premium in the Liverpool market, consequently the farmers were sending their milk to the cheese factories and Canada was not producing enough butter to meet the demand of the home mar- ket. Two courses were open to the government: The farmers could have been induced to send their cream to the butter factories, there- by lcslng the two cent premium on cheese, or the government could negotiate a trade treaty with New Zealand, whereby if they agreed to take our products Canada would offer a market for their buzter. King chose the latter course. Mr. Bennett came into power and im- mediately placed an eight cent duty on this butter. New Zealand re-
