E Efforts were being made: to or- ganize a Branch of the Great War ivcterans Azbociation of Canada, and the local Branch was incor- !poi-atea on 9th October. 1918. The 'hrst By-laws of the Branch were adopted at A meeting on 11th Oc- iobcr, 1919, and stated to be ef- 'lcctive froui date of incorporation Norman Loi.'ihcr, Frank Tierney -and niyscil drafted ihose By-laws.

I believe by James Power. I l Present Home The presi-zit Home was secured by agreement of purchase from Dr S. R. J('llkIllS during 1920 for 39,- 500.00. The Branch agreed to pay 33500.00 ii year together with inter- lest. It was deeded to the Legion ;on 20th December 1926 and the ',last payment was made in 1933. I do not think that either the G.W V. A. or Legion ever failed to pay ithc yearly installment and inter- lcst. In meeting financial obliga- tions and in many other ways the Branch was wonderfully assisted by an ever willing and splendid Ladies Auxiliary. I The building was found to be ytoo small to accommodate the iinembershlp of the Branch and iwas enlarged in the early thirties. iagain in 1941, and proved to be a jcenter not only for our own armed ;forces during the last war. but for ithousands of men of the R. A. F. -lslationcd near the City. During 1946 the building was again en- larged as we have it today. l Following the first Great War n ;gi'cat many returned men's organ- ;I7:CllIOllS had sprung into existence. -It was felt there were too many lsuch organizations. Thcy were all lworkiiig for the benefit of those lwho had served. but lacked unity and co-operation. Legion Organized Field Marshal Haig, our Great -.War Commander strove to bring about unity amongst those who had served. A conference to this end was called by General Smuts in South Africa in 1921, which was attended by Field Marshal iinig. when the British Empire Service League was launched. At its second Biennial Conference held in Ottawa in 1925 the Can- adian Legion of the B.E.S. L. was organized. as an integral part of that League. Before long members of the local Branch of the G.W.V. A. were approuched regarding merger with the new Empire organization; there were many at first who doubted the advisability of such I course. However, at 7.30 PM., 31st Oc- tober. l925, a general meeting of the Great War Veterans Associa- tion was held in their Home, 57 Grafton Street, for the purpose of considering unity with all other Veterans' Associations. Comrade George Nicholson who had attend- ed the Dominion Convention stated that the convention had gone on record in favour of unity. It was after discussion moved by J. R. Paton and seconded by T. E. Mac- Nutt that the Prince Edward 15- land Command follow the lead of the Dominion Convention in its move towards unity. On the same evening at 8 olclock 9. meeting of all returned men met in the Great War Vetci'ans' Asso- ciation Rooms under the chair- manship of Colonel H. D. John- son, the chairman of the unity committee. On motion of T. E. MacNutt seconded by W.S. Hughes the meeting declared itself in favour of unity of all Vcu-rans' Associations. General Meeting l l l l 1 At an executive meeting mi llth June. 1926, Colonel Johnson read the minutes of the National Exec- utive of the Canadian Legion of the British Empire Service League held at Ottawa on 12th to 14th April, I926. After discussion it was moved by T. E. MncNutt and sec- onded by Dr. Croken, that a meet- ing of the Provincial Command be called for Wednesday evening. 16th June at 7.30 for purpose of entering the Legion. It was moved by T. E. MncNutt seconded by Leo Bradley that Colonel - Johnson. temporary chairman of the Unity Committee for Prince Edward Is- ' land he requested to call a meet- ing of all ex-service soldiers and sailors on Wednesday evening, June 16th at 8 o'clock for purpose of completing organization ofCan- adian. Legion, B. E. B.L. At the general meeting of the Great. War 'Veterans' Association held on the evening of 16th June, 1926, the following resolution was moved by T. E. MacNutt., seconded by W. S. Hughes. and carried: "Resolved, that this general meet- ing of the Provincial Command of the Gram War Veterans Associa- tion of Prince Edward Island de- sires to place itself on record as being in favour of the objects nnd aims of the British Empire ser- vice League.

The ice sheet is in cxcellcnt. condition due to the efforts of the manager, Mr. Francis Fraser. who has last no time in getting the ice ready for the season's curling. This year the club has many new niembers, and together with former members. will have a large membership. The ladies have also Voriiieii a club, and it lsiexpected that a mixed bonsvplel will get underway next week. The following is the draw for tonight's games: 9 PM Ice West-G.

Murray Harbour Whips Gegiown The Murray Harbor Bruins. af- ter a year's absence from senior hockey. returned last night to whip the Georgetown Eagles 6-5. The Bruiiis, played heads-up hockey all the way, to defeat last year's Island Intermediate B. champions. l Mlinn scored twice to pace the: Murrsiy Harbour attack. H. Fras- er. Pro-wsc, Scanilebury and Stew- art. accounted for the other Bruins goals. M2icLcan and Stephens each scored two for Georgetown with a ysingle tally going to McNeil. self with the Canadian Legion of the British Empire Service League. "And Be It Further Resolved, that in uniting in name. objects and aims with those who have served in the Naval, Air and Land Forces of the Empire, we renew our allegiance to His Majesty the King and our love for the Empire over which he rules." As the Charlottetown Branch (No. 1) was the only one on the Island, which was properly organ- ized. i the officers of both the Branch and Provincial Command consisted of almost the same per- sonnel. Mr. J-isrry MacDougs.ll was president of the Branch dur- ing the change and Mr. George P. Nicholson was provincial president. Both remained in office. Secretary Honoured Mr. George E. Shcrreii who had been secretary of the G.W.V.A took over the same duty in the Legion and continued to serve the interests of the Legion in an un- tiring and faithful manner until late in 19-15, which he retired. and was presented with the Honourary Officers Meritorious Badge of ser- vice of the Legion. He was suc- ceeded in office by Major David L. Mathleson, then by Major Arthur Pcake and he in turn by the pre- sent incumbent James Walker. Nothing was done in the way of opening new Branches until 1930. when Branches were established at Souris. Mount Stewart and Sum- merside in that year. A Branch had been started at 0'Le.iry (No. 2! in some manner, but was not properly constituted until 29thMay 1931. Up to the commencement oi the 2nd World War some eleven Branches were organized and op- crating. During the 2nd World War and since many more Branches have been organized until today we have 32 active Branches carrying on the work of the Legion. , The Constitution and By-Laws of the G.W.V.A. were much the same as those of the Legion, viz loyalty to reigning Sovereign and the Empire, standing for ordered and constitutional Government. the memory of the fallen, care of the disabled. the widows and or- phans. Notwzthstanding these high and fine ideals there was at first in some quarters fears of what the returned men might do through uiilty in turning the country up- side down. These fears were soon dispelled, and our great. organiza- tion was seen to be 9. power for good throughout the Empire in its handling of not only the problems of those who hlld served, but in national, provincial and civic af- fairs. This Branch and the Provincial Command fought for many years the sending of our comrades who were ill to Camp Hill Hospital, Halifax. for treatment. We de- manded local hospitalization. This great boon, in short our rights. was at last realized and should not be forgotten by younger veterans. We were the first organization to urge by resolution that the ob- noxious Prohibition Law be re- pealed. We urged and used our influence in' trying to prevent cor- ruption during elections. Aim In Service I After the first. Grul. Wu we failed in putting our members into public life, but the veterans of the 2nd Great war have been and I hope will continue to take a greater part in the public life of the country. Surely those who served their country" during the strain and stress of war should be equally capable of serving it dur- ing peace. Many of our members have great talents. The most of us may not be so blessed, but each of us have a job to do for our country and for our organization. Let us not forget the last mes- sage of Lord Tweedsmulr to the ion:-"You must k f.h'e na- tional. mind balanced and the national spirit keen". Comrade President and Com- rades. we are mcmbe a of a great organisation--our qualifications for membership are unique-SERVICE. The objects and aims of our or- ganization are worthy of out but endeavours. Bound them rightly and let us endeavour to be worthy of our membership. As Churcniil said during the dark days of the last war,-"We shall not flag orrfali. We shall 5,0 on to the end". Let us serve our the Grant War Vetcrans' Associa- tion do now and hereby merge it- ,God. our country and our kilow- men I ' Week Of Prayer, Services Held In Georgetown . .'
