evening
was
an
address
given
by
W.
McKinstry
of
Vancouver,
first
vice-president
of
the
B.
C.
Provincial
Command.
Mr.
McKinstry
congratulated
the
local
branch
on
the
splendid
new
quarters
and
the
in
crease
in
membership.
An
increase
in
membership
throughout
the
Dominion
was
a
feature
of
recent
years.
Inasmuch
as
the
Canadian
Legion
was
a
branch
of
the
British
Empire
Service
League,
it
was
part
of
one
of
the
greatest
organizations
in
the
British
Empire
and.
there
fore,
in
the
world.
As
such,
It
was
.
an
organization
with
tremendous
weight
and
it
was
using
this
not
for
the
benefit
of
ex-servtcemen
only
'.
but
to
build
up
the
Empire
and
help
world
peace
and
progress.
Mr.
McKinstry
urged
the
local
branch
to
take
an
even
more
active
part
in
civic
affairs.
A
country
worth
dying
for
was
surely
a
country
worth
living
for.
Possibilities
of
an
Increased
payroll
in
the
city
were
discussed
ln
view
of
a
recent
visit
to
the
city
of
a
representative
:
of
an
export
company
that
was
desirous
of
using
the
facilities
of
the
port
in
such
a
way
as
to
pro-
vide
a
two-way
cargo
for
deep
sea"
ahtpplng.
He
urged
the
local
branch
to
help
arouse
citizens
to
these
possibilities
and
throw
Its
weight
into
a
progressive,
active
movement
for
the
advancement
of
the
port
and,
district
The
fact
that
large
expenditures
were
made
ln
the
past
that
were
not
now
being
Justified
was
no
reason
why
further
expenditure
Should
not
be
made
when
the
pos
sibilities
were
so
unlimited.
The
city
must
get
"export
conscious"
and
make
connections
with
deep
sea
shippers.
Mr.
McGlnnls,
a
visitor
ln
the
city,

to
the
meeting.
lie
referred
to
the
difficulty
ex-service
men
had
in
re-establishing
them-
I
selves
and
ln
a
period
of
depression
the
number
of
such
suffering
was
out
of
all

to
the
number
of
those
who
