resident who was a victim of
the recent outbreak of typhoid

illness.

Canadian Legion held its fifth
annual banquet last Saturday
evening and enjioyed a merry
time with 106 members and in
vited guests in attendance.
The banquet was preceded by
a tribute to the memory of fall
en comrades, in which the en
tire gathering stood in silent at
tention. Chaplain Father Le
Ray then invoked a blessing.
“The Cookhouse Door” was
sounded by bugle, and the at
tack on the sumptuous board
wag launched with spirit and
vigor.
Following a tremendous vict

their guests, Comrade Heine
key proposed the toast, “Our
Guests,” which was responded

T. W. Hall, B. C. School In

Effects Of The “Lame
Duck” Amendment
The following information re
garding the effects of the so
called Lame Duck amendment
to the Constitution of the Unit
ed States is presented in re
sponse to a number of inquir
ies:
The amendment is scheduled
to become effective October 15
but proclamation of the ratifi
cation will not take place un
til all the ratifying 33 states
have formally announced their
approval to the State Depart
ment.
; It provides that the Congress
elected in November shall meet
on January 3 of the next year.!
The president and vice- pres- j
ident elected in November will :
take office on January 20.
Under its provision Roosevelt
will serve 43 days less than the
full four-year term, even
though re-elected, as he will
take office on March 4 and
retire on January 20 in the
fourth year of his administrat
ion. The newly elected Cong- ■
ressmen and Senators will lose j
two months , as their terms will |
begin March 4 and end Janu
ary 3.
The most important effect of
the amendment will be that it ;
will do away entirely with the ;
short session of Congress prior j
i to a change of administration, i
thereby preventing legislation i
by representatives and senators <
who have been repudiated by
'the voters in the November h
i elections. It will also curtail
filibustering and such blocking
of legislation as was recently.
displayed by Huey Long and
others in the Senate.
Virginia was the first state to
ratify the amendment and
Missouii supplied the 361h
, vote necessary to the required
two-thirds majority of the
states. The amendment will i
be officially known as the
Twentieth Amendment to the1
Constitution.
