writer finds it difficult to get
the write-up done in time for
that weeks paper. Better late
than never.
The Legion has found in the
past few years that the mem-
bers are getting past being able
to help in such things as minor
hockey, ball, recreation etc.
physically that is. However,
during the past few months we
have found a way we can help
— money. The Branch at the
December meeting donated
$500 to the Recreation commit-
tee in Januaryl a follow-up was
made of $500 to the minor
hockey.
In February the Intermediate
Hockey team held a dance to
help defray expenses and

on the team we could help out
by donating our hall, with a
follow up of of approximately
$140. The Branch enjoys being

Gord and Mrs. Scribbins, Alex
and Mrs. Haddy, Dr. and Mrs.
Thompson, Joe Silcoy and
Morg Agnew enjoying the din-
ner even if they are not too ac-
tive at the dancing. Some of the
25 year members were called
upon by the Chairman Hec
Kingswell and their remarks
about the "Building the Hall"
days were quite interesting.
Remember this - remember
that etc. It is well to remember
that if it had not been for our
wives and the Auxiliary, we
might not even have our hall.
They showed great patience
with the late nights, long hours,
and also helped in many ways.
The social side of Legion life
is getting better all the time.

Paul Carroll wants to Know:
2. Why Regional Government is being imposed throughout Ontario
without consultation?
- Why Huron's major export continues to be young people?
- Why farmers, and not the middle men, are blamed for high food
costs?
- Wh the costs of health care in Ontario are out of control?
- Whl the ODC ignores Huron's prime industry - Agriculture?
Show the government you care
about the future of Huron ...
but one man, if he's like Paul Carroll, can make a difference
