LEGION CORNER By JACK HOLLAND Well, comrades and friends, there is some interesting news for all of us this time of year, But at present, here's what the mail bag has brought up. Last week at the presentation of scholarships at the SDHS, the Legion president, Allan Nichol- son, presented Glenn Coutts with the Legion Scholarship, a pupil selected by the teaching staff. Congratulations, Glenn, and continued success in your quest for higher education! The Hallowe'en masquerade and social, held last Friday night, was well attended and a real good time was had by all, The Saturday night bingos are going strong, and the fall wea- ther will bring out even bigger crowds. Charlie Wood, the chairman for special events, informs me that Friday and Saturday of this week will be Poppy Days for this year. Now, Poppy Day has a special meaning all its own for all Legionaires and veter- ans alike. The main reason for Poppy Day is that the memory of fallen comrades can best be honored by making sure that none of the veterans still living shall be allowed to suffer want or distress. This fund can be used for no other reason, a most worthy cause, so let's all buy a poppy. There is no doubt but that the Poppy is the Hower of Remembrance, and, by the way, Charlie Wood is looking for voluntees to help him on the Poppy campaign, so let's give him a hand. There will be a church par- ade on . Sunday, Nov. 5, mem- bers to meet at the Legion Hall before 10:30 a.m., and proceed from there to St. James' Church for the religious service. Next week on Thursday night, the regular monthly meeting takes place, and since it is also nomination night, a real large furnout is expected. And, of course, the Remem- brance Day Service will be held on Saturday, Nov. 11, and all members are requested to be at the Legion Hall by 10 a.m. More news on this next week. So you see, Comrades, there is a busy schedule in the offing and it is up to us all to make these events a success, so in closing let's not forget the ones who made all this possible: "At the going down of the sun and in the morning we shall re- member them." P.S.—Don't forget to buy a Poppy- 1Meekend Specials FRESH PORK ROASTS - ▪ - 350 RIB BOIL ▪ - 290 HAMBURG - 3 lbs. $1.00 LO1N PORK CHOPS - ▪ - 65¢ STEAK ROASTS - - 690 HACHBORN's Seaforth's Leading Meat Market Hallowe'en Is Theme At Party Glowing jack-o'-lanterns and a weird assortment of costumes formed the background for the HalIowe'en party of the First Company Girl Guides. Peanut relay, apple bobbing and a scavenger hunt were part of the program. Joan Coleman, Jane Boshart and Correne Bowering were the first to finish , the apples. The girls' costumes were very orig- inal, making the choice of a winner a very difficult decision, but Joan Coleman and Judy Muegge were first with their identity well hidden. Corrine Bowering and Mary Ellen Moore were second, dressed as very realistic TV sets. Jane Boshart, Sharon McDonald and Moira Malcolm arrived first with a complete collection of treasures. A delicious lunch was enjoy- ed by all. The leaders and all members of the Company ex- pressed thanks to the Legion members for the use of their hall.

This time the merchant asked him what he was doing with all the ham- mers. "I'm selling them," the farm- er replied. "What are you getting for them?" the storekeeper asked. "A dollar and a quarter." "Man, you can't make any money that way," the merchant protested. "You're paying a dollar and a half for them." "It still beats farming," the farmer replied. Did you hear about the hunt- er who climbed through the fence with his gun cocked? He is survived by his wife, three children and a rabbit.

SAFETY EXPERT WARNS FARMERS OF CAUSES OF ACCIDENTS What's your attitude toward farm safety? If it fits any one of the following "strange be- liefs", your chances of having an accident are higher, says Hal Wright, Farm Safety Specialist with the Ontario Department of Agriculture. Here are the four most com- mon "strange beliefs" about accidents. "My number was up — the fatalistic attitude. If this theory were true, it would be a waste of time to try and fight the in- evitable. "My accident is punishment." If this were a fact, the so-call- ed "sinners" would have an alarming frequency of acci- dents, while the "saints" would be accident free. This is not so! "Taking chances is showing bravery." The mere act of tak- ing a chance does not denote bravery. Taking unnecessary risks usually indicates fool- hardiness. "It always happensto the other fellow." Are YOU such a special person that you can take any kind of dangerous risk without being caught? Talk with accident victims — they didn't expect to get hurt either. Accidents are not unavoid- able, inevitable, a matter of luck, predetermined, or the price of modern living. But unless people forget these strange beliefs, they might as well give up the battle for a safer life. STUPENDOUS The great planet Jupiter is 88,700 miles in diameter.
