I The picture which will be shown at the' Rex theatre Friday and Saturday, I was made during the drive for the i third Liberty loan and Miss Martin was kept busy enacting her part, learning to operate the semaphore, and making speeches in aid of the loan. She also found time to go to the Red Cross workrooms in Los Angeles and help there, and also to raise money for wounded soldiers by auctioning off things at a Red Cross bazaar. No one can questfon Vivian's patriotism.

'OCCUPATIONS' TO BE SUBJECT GIVEN TUXIS BY MR, DOYLE Will Deliver Interesting Address to Boys Considering a Vocation Rev. Manson Doyle will address the "Tusis" young men this evening on "Our Life Work." The boys who attended the Lumsden Beach camp this summer, where Mr. Doyle gave a series of addreses and later the national camp at Coucbiching, were anani-mous in declaring Mr. Doyle one of the most outstanding boy leaders in Canada, His address tonight will be most interesting and instructive to all older fellows as it is the introduction to a series of talks on "VoVcational Guidance." Without doubt, one of the most important steps in a boy's life is the choice of an occupation. It means a very great deal to the- boy and it means something to the community and nation to have him choose as his life's work an occupation which he not only likes but which gives scope for the development of his best abirties and interests.

Appreciating the fact that the greatest service that can be rendcrea to a 'teen-age boy is to help him find the occupation which nature intended him for, ample provision has been made in the Tuxis program this winter em a2 IMN.

GENERAL ADMISSION, 25c 1 Comrade Secord Tells G.W.V.

the Government's Proposals Unsatisfactory NO SQUARE DEAL GOING Returned Han Tells of Attempting to Get Land Loan and Being Offered $320 ITnion Government and its policy lor soldiers' land settlement received somewhat of a rude shock at the hands of the veterans at the meeting last evening. Comrade Secord dealt with the proposals of the government as announced in despatches yesterday and characterized them as being quite unsatisfactory to himself. He regretted that the officials could not come out with something of a concrete nature, something that would be met by the veterans with a legree of satisfaction. In discussing this problem, Comrade Secord did not wish to convey the idea that he was speaking for the veterans only. He had rather a broader idea, that was, if reconstruction at all.

reconstruction for all. that is the inauguration of a policy for all in the matter of agricultural development" in the west. A Soldier's Protest A returned veteran, who took up a half section, homestead and pre-emption, in the Eig River district, related his experiences in trying to get a start. After securing his entry right, he attempted to get a loan on the property and expected to get $2,500 as had been promised in the early regulations given to soldiers. When, he tried to get the loan he -was offered 1320.

He concluded his harangue by asking' the question "Now is this a fair and square deal to a man who has fought over there?" and he received an answer from practically every man in the room an emphatic "No." Another comrade from Moose Jaw aired the Bar lianch deal. He had entered on a homestead there, a very fair homestead, but could not get a half section together because the officials at Ottawa -had arranged with the lessees to reserve the best part of the land for grazing purposes. He further charged that the lessees were not living up to the conditions of the grazing lease in the matter of keeping the required number of stock per acre under lease.

Vocational Training In '-onnection with the matter of vocatiunal training and employment the institute is. prepared to establish one or more home teachers in the province and to consider the desirability of opening an industrial training school and workshop such of the large centres as seem to need this more intensive opportunity.

The duty of the home teacher is to call at the homes of those blind persons who desire such service, and make their wish known, for the purpose of teaching them to read and write Brai'le, tthe system of embossed read by and to give instructions in suitable light vocational lines sue" may be advantageously carried on at fconne.

It is well known that a very large proportion of blindness is preventable if the right methods are taken at the right time.

This applies to blindness occurring from eye disease, industrial accident and eye strain, in all of which three directions great conservation of eyesight can be effected by such methods and through such workers as the institute is now inaugurating.
