By ART BATES Twenty comrades were nominated to fill the ten spots on the Branch 540 executive at the general meeting held on November 5. With a month until the December 3 elections in which to campaign, and with further nominations expected prior to the voting, it should prove to be one of the most interesting elections in the history of the Branch. There are several considerations that the candidates should ponder prior to the ballot-marking. By holding office in the Legion one has nothing to gain but work. Every vice-president and every executive member should be prepared to accept the chairmanship of some committee and to work at it. He must also be prepared to participate in at least one executive meeting and one general meeting of the Branch each month in addition to his own committee work. Paragraph 20 in Article III of our by-laws states: "Any member of the Executive Committee, who absents himself from three regular meetings of the Branch and/or the Executive Committee, unless granted leave of absence by the Executive Committee, shall cease to be a member of the Executive Committee." In short, unless you intend to work at it, don't accept the position. Starting in January, The Luminary will keep tabs on the executive and will publish a monthly running total of the number of meetings attended and missed by each member of the executive. Those nominated at last week's meeting are as follows: President, Sid Daley and Jack Elson; 1st vice-president, Bill Smith and Emerson DeGraw; 2nd vice-president, Percy Knee; 3rd vice-president, Wally Boyes; secretary, Art Bates and Pat Crudge; treasurer, Keith Dickson and Wally Boyes; Executive, Roy Zinn, Harold Butler, Len Fisher, Gord Elson, Larry Gibson, Larry Ditty and Charlie Skolly; Sgt.-at-Arms, Emerson DeGraw, Len Fisher, Jim Lockyer, Fred Bowerman, Robert (Scotty) Holland. Prior to the elections at the December meeting, nominations will be re-opened and candidates will then be required to accept or decline. So the race is on. Talk it up, because the more election talk we hear between now and December, the more members Remembered at district schools Room 6. was in charge of the programme for a Remembrance Day Service at Biddulph Public School,.
