who

Harry
Breen,
at
the
request
of
the
president,
spoke
a
few
well
chosen
words
in
making
a
presentation
to
CoL
Johnston.
He
mentioned
particularly
the
spirit
of
co-operation
that
had
always
existed
between
the
colonel
and
the
members
of
the
Legion
and,
while
all
au
realized
the

that
biu
the'
ms
(Legion
would
suffer,
It
was
also
aware
of
the
gain
some
other
area
.
would
make.
He
wanted
CoL
Johnston
to
know
that,
wherever
he
went
the
very
best
wishes
of
the
Prince
Rupert
branch
of
the
Canadian
Legion
went
with
him.
Col.
Johnston
replied
briefly
but
appropriately,
stating
that
it
had,
always
been
a
pleasure
tor
him
to
work
with
the
officers
and
members
of
the
Legion
and
he
hoped
for
their
continued
success
in
thejr
work
for
the
veterans.
Major
General
G.
S.
Pearkes,
V.C
D.S.O.,
M.C.,
Croix
de
Guerre.,
was
then
introduced
and
gave
a
very
Interesting
talk.
He
spoke
of
the
marvellous
spirit
being
displayed
by
the
people
over
in
the
Old
Land
where
everybody
was
doing
something
In
the
line
of
war
work.
Nothing
was
too
much
for
them
and
they
had
only
one
thought
in
mind,
that
being
to
"win
the
war."
He
also
spoke
of
this
province
which,
as
everybody
knows,
was
supposed
to
be
the
one
likely
to
be
attacked
first,
if
Canada
was
to
receive
an
attack,
He
stressed
the
need
of
every
person,
whether
man
or
woman,
getting
In
at
once
and
preparing
themselves
for
some
kind
of
useful
war
work.
He
spoke
of
the
work
of
actual
fighting
the
enemy
hand
to
hand
and
also
stressed
the
value
of
the
AJI.P.
and
kindred
associations.
These,
however,
would
be
no
good
to
anyone
unless
the
personnel
were
fully
trained
and
that
at
once,
not
tomorrow
or
the
next
day.
