CS9.S90.5WK By ART BATES Thanks to the wonderful co-operation of the citizens, merchants, clubs and organizations of Lucan and Biddulph, we have realized, by far, the most successful Poppy Fund Campaign in our history. With more Comrades than usual participating in the canvass, we were able to more effectively cover the entire village with the following results: Business Canvass . . . . $202.75 House-to-House 146.66. Miscellaneous Boxes 63.82 Poppy Day 91.75 Total Receipts $504.98 The total expenses were $179.90 leaving a net profit of • $325.08. The $149.25 spent on poppies and wreaths goes to Vetcraft Industries, an organization of war amputees who are sponsored by the Legion. If we consider that this amount is also going to assist By HOMER PIGEON Well, it happened again this year. We always plan for a certain number of people for our pigeon banquet and each year we end up with more people than we can accommodate. The congregation of Saintsbury Church are the people who put a smile on the face of every person in the Lucan Arena last Saturday night. Never since the battle of Britain have so many owed so much to so few. With the odds stacked way up against them these people fed over 200 people in a record time. We heard so many good reports about the dinner that we would like to ask these people to do the same for us next year but we feel it would be better to wait until their tired muscles have relaxed a bit. We had some spot dances with the music capably supplied by Clare Stanley and a few prizes to give out this year. The decorations and prizes were looked after by Carol Hardy. The flowers were supplied by Gene Nicholson. These looked very attractive laid out on a table at the door. As a matter of fact these same flowers still looked quite nice after they were pinned on all the different shapes and sizes that gather at such functions as this. veterans, then our expenses were only $30.65 or six percent. Our mixed euchre party, which was held at the hall last Saturday evening, drew a good crowd although there were several empty tables and room for a dozen or so more players. Prizes for the event were donated by Vic Neal, Gary Jones, Harold and Doris Lightfoot, Marjory Gibson, Loretta Dickson, Olga Bond and Betty Bates. Next Wednesday, Nov. 26 sees the Zone A-5 meeting at Branch 116 in Strathroy. Besides our voting delegates, all members of the Branch are urged to attend these meetings as fraternal delegates. Those who are contemplating running for office in December should be particularly interested as it is at these Zone and District meetings that you really gain an insight into what Legion is all about. Letters have gone out to all members about our Santa Claus The president "Norm Hardy" had the honour of handing out or at least sorting out the trophies. He had as his helper in this operation the Secretary of our club Mert Culbert who called the doners and the recipients to the stand and by way of the grapevine it is said he sounded more like an auctioneer or just a common fish wife. At any rate the trophies went to the following people.

Santa will present gifts to all children seven years old or younger, so a reply is required in order to make the arrangements. Comrade Pat Crudge should receive your reply no later than Nov. 24 listing your children's names and ages. Branch 540 will lease one of the new signs which are being erected at the Community Centre. These signs are being rented to merchants and organizations at a cost of $25.00 per year. It was felt that this was one spot where we should be represented because of our sponsorship of minor hockey, figure skating and track and field. The signs, which will be erected in the near future, will hang above the bleachers around the ice surface. Don't forget our mixed winter sports — every second Tuesday in the lounge — for an evening of darts, cribbage, euchre and shuffleboard. Next had the best bird. This is certainly a busy world we live in. Our very sincere thanks to every one who has donated a trophy to our club and an extra special thank you to all you fellows who have to buy a ticket to come to the party to present your trophy. I know every member of our club will be sure to patronize the sponsors of these trophies and I feel sure a lot of people at that party will do the same.

BURT Last Wednesday night here at the centre the Lucan Irish took on the Exeter Hawks, and again penalties killed them as they were downed by a 7-6 score, after leading 5-3, half-way through the third period. As I always say, you cannot score goals from the penalty box. * In Novice Hockey last Saturday, it was Stoneybrook 13, Huron East no score, Lucan 3, Dorchester 2, and in the third game it was Exeter 9, South-West London 1. The Lucan-Ilderton Lions' House League Hockey got under way last Saturday with Lucan Lions defeating Ilderton Lions 8-5. The Raiders and Thunderbirds fought to a 6-all tie, and in the Little League Division (Novice) it was Lucan Jets 1, Ilderton Wildcats 0. These boys seem to have real close games. In South Middlesex League it was Ilderton over Graham & Graham 3-2, Lucan and Edgewood fought to a 5 all tie, and Esquire downed Ailsa Craig in a free-wheeling, goal-keeper's nightmare 10-8.
