Publicity Chairman
Branch 156)
Operation Service
An editorial The Blitz Is On
appeared in the-Nove er issue
of the Legion Magazine it ds
as follows:
If by next year there are any
ex-service people or their
dependents who are not aware of
the benefits of which they are
entitled under the Veterans
Charter legislation, it won't be
the fault of the Legion.
Operation Service, which was
launched officially on' October I,
is now under way across the
country. Many months were
spent by the national office and
provincial commands in planning
this campaign and now every-
thing hinges on the energy
devoted to it by individual Legion
Branches, Legion members of all
categories and members of the
Ladies Auxiliaries.
It could be Canada's biggest
man and woman hunt, conducted
in a massive door-to-door canvass
from coast to coast. The Legion
believes that of the 1.245,000
still-living veterans and their
dependents, there may be
thousands who, for one reason or
another, are ignorant of benefits
available to them under veterans'
legislation. In addition to this
group the Legion wants to contact
those entitled to benefits under
the Civilian War Pensions and
Allowances Act, including the
merchant navy, crews of ,d,sep sea
rescue tugs, overseas fire
fighters, the Red Cross and
others.
This major • effort calls for
thousands of Legion members to
volunteer to serve as campaign
chairmen, team captains and
home visitors, to man telephones
and information desks and to
carry out a variety of other tasks.
to make possible the contact with
those who need help but don't
know that they are entitled to
certain benefits. The department
of veterans affairs is working
closely with the Legion at all
levels to achieve the greatest
coverage possible.
The general public by now will
have become very much aware of
Operation Service through the
media. This 'every veteran
canvass' presents a golden
opportunity to Legion branches,
in this 50th anniversary year, to
demonstrate to the communities
in which they are located the
practical application of the'much
quoted statement in the Legion
ritual that "their sacrifice will
ever inspire us to labor on, to the
end and that those who survive
and need our aid, may be assured
of assistance."
The Chairman for Operation.
Service in this area, was Comrade
Archie Dobson. The canvass has
been completed by Branch 156
. with a measure of success.
