Stratford Festival begins 16th. music season If there is anyone in the audience (or should I say readership) who would like to be on a committee of one kind or another and hasn't yet had the opportunity to serve, this week's celumn is devoted to hints on how to become actively involved in more service work than you can handle without losing your mind. 1. Get pregnant. This won't work for the males who happen to be reading this drivle intended for women, but for gals its works wonders; I know. I have been pregnant three times and each time, just before I was actually aware that our household would be expanded within the year, I was named to at least one new position. It works this way. As if by magic, nomination committees have a sixth sense about this kind of thing, In fact, if you are a woman who has been elected recently to a new post in the community, you had better check with the family doctor. Chances are good that you either are (or soon will be) an expectant mother. The idea seems to be to elect people at a weak moment . and then hold them to their pledge no matter what else takes place, even service in the maternity ward. 2, Get busy, The more jobs you hold, the more likely you are to be named recording secretary for the local club, Take me, for instance, I hold down one full-time part-time job;I'm the mother of three kids; I'm the wife of one husband; I'm the domestic engineer in one home. All I have to do is show up at a meeting and I can have my choice of positions it seems. Usually they want me to be treasurer while the bookkeeper gets conned into the secretary's chair. It must be my honest face. 3. Act disinterested. I didn't know that this approach worked until just recently. I went to a meeting, purely to observe you understand. I sat and listened but I was very careful to remain outside the conversation and appear totally disinterested in the entire affair. Guess who was selected to act on a three-member work committee! You guessed it. 4. Stay home from the meeting, That really works for some people. I have a friend who was recently elected to fill a vacancy on a committee and the only reason she was chosen (well, at least one reason she was chosen) was because no one else would accept and my pal wasn't at the meeting to defend herself. That's a dirty trick, I think, but then some of your very best workers are picked at random out of a sea of possibilities who have stayed at home. 5, Find financing for the group. This is a sure fired method for getting yourself on the executive. Just try to be helpful and keep the coffers filled with greenbacks and that Smakey Says: tinkling stuff and you will be a winner when it rolls round to election night. I know a fellow who became a chairman on a rather important committee just because he happened to be the spokesman for an organization that was willing to donate funds tq the new enterprise in town. I don't know whether a chairmanship is considered proper payment for a sizeable grant or not, but in this case my friend felt somewhat obligated to accept the offer. After all, he had to show some The June general meeting' of Branch 140 Royal Canadian Legion was held June 22. President Percy Brown opened the meeting at 8:45 p.m. with 26 members and 11 guests in attendance. Comrade Harold Chambers, President of Goderich Branch was one of the guests who were made welcome to the meeting. After the minutes of previous meetings, correspondence, and Treasurer's report were read and passed, comrade Brown suggested we hold a banquet for the ladies in appreciation of the work they have done for the Branch during the past year. This means the men have to do the catering, dish washing etc. but in spite of this the suggestion was very well accepted. A $25 donation was made to the Childrens Aid Society as a follow-up to the Old Timers ball game which was held June 17 to aid the Society and which, incidentally was a very great success. Comrade Hec Kingswell reminded the members that the Branch had not thanked Hollanders for the banquet they 'gave to those who had been in Holland during the last war. He also felt the Branch should show appreciation for the benches and flower beds situated in front of the Wesley Willis Church. The thank you to Hollanders.. was extended. A few of the members have accumulated a considerable interest in the whole thing if he and his companions were willing to throw in Snell handsome funds. So you see, there are trieics to everything, Don't despair if you just never seem to make the grade in your organization. Use any one of .Shirley's five fancy fundamentals for getting on committee and your fondest wish will be granted, Incidentally, for those of you who would like to drop a few committee jobs,' the system does NOT work in reverse. number of pictures, slides, movies etc. and has suggested a "Picture Night", the date to be announced later. At this point the gavel was turned over to Percy Knowles, chairman of the Exeter installation team. The team consisted of Sgt. at Arms Garnet Shipman, piper Gerald Wurm and Comrades Campbell, Ostland, Lawson, Robinson, Holtzman, Pfaff, and McTavish.

Hayter, D. Thorndyke and H. Walsh. The Branch thanks the installing team and welcomes the new officers. The highlight of the evening came just prior to the close of the meeting when it was announced that a sizeable donation had been received from the ' Ladies Auxiliary and members burned the mortgage. Percy Brown had the honours to strike the match and was more than happy about it. ,At-.the close .of the meeting lunch was served and social get to-gether ended the very eventful evening.
