Lord Derby at Crewe - Opening of British Legion Club.
Saturday was a red letter day in the history of the Crewe Branch of the British Legion, for it marked the opening by the Earl of Derby of the new headquarters in Earle St. Since the formation of the branch in Crewe many difficulties have crossed the path of the promoters, chief of which has been the provision of a suitable home where ex-service men could congregate and talk over their war experiences. Now, thanks to Mr Clement Fox, and the untiring efforts of Mr E. Robinson, the secretary of the Legion, these difficulties have, in a large measure, been overcome and a magnificent suite of rooms acquired over the premises of Messrs Hill and Co, in Earl St. - - - - (continues) - - - -

The memorial which will be placed in the Church,will take the form of a reredos and panellings, and there will be inscribed the names of those on the Roll of Honour.The arrangements for the sale of work were admirably carried out by a number of willing church workers with Mrs J. Wilson as hon. secretary and Mrs Baskeyfield of Peacock's Hay as treasurer. The stalls were attractively arranged round the sides of the room, and contained a large and varied assortment of useful and fancy articles.- - - -(continues) - -
Mrs Heath-Caldwell of Linley Hall who was accompanied by her husband (Major-General F.C. Heath-Caldwell C.B.) in opening the sale spoke of the pleasure it afforded her to have the opportunity of assisting towards the fulfillment of such a worhty object as the provision of a war memorial for their parish. She considered that in every town or village the names should be preserved of their men who went forth in the cause of freedom and died for their country. In their own parish there was certainly no better place in which to establish a memorial than at the Parish Church, and they looked forward to the time when they would be in a position to carry the project through.

Cosens R.A., proposed a vote of thanks to Mrs Heath-Caldwell which was seconded by Mr Levi Birks (Rector's Warden).The stallholders were as follow:- Plain WorK Stall. - Mrs J.Wilson, Mrs Baskeyfield, Mrs Sherratt, Mrs Colclough, Mrs Bailey and Miss Hall.Refreshment Stall - Miss S.Baskeyfield, Miss G.

Sir Kingsley Wood at Newcastle - Speech on MInistry of Health's Work - Housing Prolem: Corner Turned - Major G.A. Wade and Present Conditions
Sir Kingsley Wood M.P., Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Health, visited Newcastle on Thursday evening and addressed a meeting organised by the Newcastle and District Conservative and Unionist Association, in the Municipal Hall.
In the course of the speech Sir Kingsley Wood spoke of the progress that had been made by the Ministry in dealing with the housing problem, the necessity for clearing slum areas, and the improvement that had been effected in the general standard of public health. He concluded with a reference to the present industrial position of the country, and, pleading for "a great national campaign, with the gospel of work, unity and goodwill," he remarked:
There is the employer who is thinking and acting today in a spirit of 1826 instead of 1926, and there is equally the work-man who fails to realise that it is just as necessary to do an honest day's work as it is to received a decent day's pay. We want to get together and banish the wild men of all sides.
Major G.A. Wade M.C., presided and supporting him were Sir Kingsley Wood, Capt. Daves-Cooke (prospective Unionist candidate for the Newcastle Division), Mrs Wade, Mrs Davies-Cook, Mrs F.W. Wenger, Mr C.A. Hodgkinson, Mrs Sampson Hancock, General and Mrs Heath-Caldwell, Mr John Bentley, Mr and Mrs T.E. Walley, Mr G.F. B. Bowers - - - (continues) - - -

Sir John Barran at Alsager - Tasks Before the League of Nations - Sir Francis Joseph's Industrial Comparison.
The meeting in support of the League of Nations Union was addressed by Sir John Barran Bt., in the St.Mary's Schoolroom,Alsager, on Monday evening.
It was organised by the Alsager Branch of the Union and although it clashed with another important event in the district, the attendance made up in enthusiasm what it may have lacked in numbers.
Sir Francis Joseph presided, and was supported by Sir John Barran, Major-General Heath-Caldwell C.B., Mrs Heath-Caldwell, Mrs Ernest Craig, the Rev. A.L. Moir M.A. (Vicar of Alsager), Mr W.T. Lucas (Chairman of Alsager Urban District Council) and Mrs Lucas, Capt. A.V. Maddock (hon. secretary of the Alsager Branch of the League of Nations Union), and Mrs A.V. Maddock, Miss Grace Maddock, Mrs Wheeton Smith, Mr Arthur Cotton, the Rev. A.Taylor, the Rev. P.L. Dickson, Mr M. Bayley - - - - -(continues) - - --
Sir Franics JosephSir Francis Joseph said that the power of the League of Nations was similar to the power enjoyed by governments in democratic countries: It rested on public opinion. It could be effective only so far as it was supported by public opinion, not only in this country, but in all the countries which were members of the League. Lip service was not sufficient. Service for all good movements depended more upon conduct than upon the recital of pious platitudes. - - - -(continues) - - --
General Heath-Caldwell
General Heath-Caldwell illustrated his reasons for supporting the League by reading a skit from a six-years-old magazine on the method of sending communications and despatches in the Army. It showed the dangers of letter-writing he said, and illustrated the possibilities of official despatches from the Foreign Office being bandied about and misunderstood - sometimes purposly - and producing results qute unforeseen.
Before the institution of the League of Nations he understood that diplomacy was carried out almost entirely by the means of long despatches. But now representatives of the nations met round a table and got into personal touch with one another to discuss the pros and cons of things and the element of personality was there. This personal touch between representatives of nations was the foundation on which the best in the League stood.
It was the one most important thing we had got out of the war, and if the respesentatives of nations could meet round a table and discuss things and understand things, and make friends with one another, it might one day lead to a family of nations and the happiness and goodwill of all. That was why he wholeheartedly liked the League of Nations. (Applause).A vote of thanks was accorded Sir John Barran and General Heath-Caldwell on the proposition of Mr W. T. Lucas seconded by the Rev. A.L. Moir, and the Chairman was thanked by acclamation on the proposal of Sir John Barran.
