Dear Sir:—I am writing this letter
in defence of myself as past: president
of the Canadian Legion, Branch 63.
Smithers, and chairman of the Christ:
mac Cheer fund. I would be very
much obliged 1€ you would ‘kindly give
it space in your paper, It is unfor.
(une that this bas to be done, but: it is
only fair, in view of the recent article
published by Mr. Warner, the*.editor
of the Intertor’: ‘News, in -regard to
Clvistmus cheer matters. |

It has been the policy of the Cann-
diin Legion during the past years te
raise extra moneys by means of tur-
key raffles, in addition to the usual
proceeds of the Armistice dance for the
purpose of Christmas Cheer for thos: |
uicinbers: of the Legion, and _ others ‘
whe were in. less fortunate cireum
xiances. ’Chis money, after all ‘ex-
penses were pald, constituted the Can-
wdinn Legion Christmas Cheer Fund.

iast year if was proposed to amalga-
nite all donations for such purpos
ander ane ‘heading and management
” order to eliminate duplication anc
thereby have a more equal distribu
tion ef hampers :

vers the impression that the proceeds

in addition to the sun of $100.00, con-

tributed by the- Christmas Cheer Fund | y
which is entirely wrong, becanse, ‘the
Canadian Legion, as in: past years de
pended upon raising - of these’ extra
inoneys in order to minke this: contri-
bution.

: It 80 happened that due to the pre-
vailing hard’ times, the dance this year
showed a. deficit, so that the Legion
had to add to, out of its ‘running funds
sufficient money to meet. their dona:

It is unfortunate and very much to
be deplored that Mr. Warner > suffered
any ecviticism in the discharge of .his
duties as secretary of the Sinitherr
Christinas Cheer Fund, buat [do not
think any blame can honestly he at:
tavhed to ‘the Canatian- Legion. Thi:
situation . is fully . understood locally

the benefit’ of those of the . genera”
