Comrade Boiling who IS O faithful at
tenGant upon the meetings OF the sons
OF Veterans, I'm an earnest speech, drew
attention 90 the need Of tho camp look

mittoe of ten appointed 20 look after
the good of the Sons. Major Brander

During the discussion the statement was
made chat since the trouble i'm the Sons
OF Veterans some time ago the mem
bership of tho camp had fallen or con-
siderably. and that only ten or twelve
members attended The meetings.
TO counterbalance this, Alr. ID. Smith
Redford stated that seyenty-nve OF the
Sons Of Veterans were now I'm tho vol
unt@er army. This accounts for the
email attendance
After the business Of tho meeting had
been concluded. Colonel Vincent A.
whether delivered a most interesting ad-
dress on events during The war, and
dwelt especially upon the unfair and Inn
perfect histories which have been writ
ten.
