T-A photo i at the DASHWOOV::- HOTEL Joe Overholt and Mozart Gelinos Saturday , Feb. 13 — by SID DALEY Things are sure humming around good old 540. The Saturday afternoon mixed darts club is going great. In fact, Sports Officer Gord Elson had to put up an extra dart board to accommodate the dart fans, and is toying with the idea of getting extra boards,. Sure wish we could drum up as much for the General Meetings! Due to the adverse weather and road conditions the public speaking contest scheduled for Feb. 5 had to be postponed. It will now be held Friday, February 12 at 8:00 p.m. in the Memorial Hall, That's this Friday, folks, Come on over and hear what the youth of today have to say. I have followed this Legion program for a number of years and can honestly state that I have always enjoyed myself and found that it was an evening well spent. Life's like that — some time ago a friend was in trouble and I helped him out. "I won't forget you" he vowed. And he didn't. He's in trouble again and he just phoned me! Tuesday night Mixed Sports is another popular occasion around Branch 540 and rolls around every second week and Tuesday, Feb. 16 is the date you have been trying to remember. This is a real fun night, Comrades, and if you Sunshine club honors birthdays The Sunshine Club, with 21 members present, held a euchre party, Thursday. Winners of the prizes were as follows: Ladies' high, Mrs. Ivy Little; ladies' low, Mrs. H. S. Prince; ladies' lone hands, Mrs. Walter Martyn; men's high, Ben Kelly; men's low, Mr. H. S. Prince; men's lone hands, Alonza Phillips. Mrs. Cecil Neil was in charge of the card party, and Mrs. Evan Hodgins and Mrs. Gordon Atkinson provided lunch. This being a birthday party, those who had had birthdays in December or January were honoured and a cake was donated by Mrs. Frank Hardy Sr. don't attend with your lady, you're the loser! While on mixed Sports, don't forget Saturday Feb. 27 is award night at Branch 540. Our pal, Molson's Denny Riggin will be with us. Be sure to keep this date open, Comrades. Dinner at 7:00 p.m. Awards at 8:00 p.m. Dancing to follow. Sounds like a real fun night. How about it? Shall we make it a date? I know it will be an event to remember. Whenever I get to feeling indespensible, I take another look at the old saddle hanging in the garage. Zone A 5 Sports sees Lucan at Strathroy on Feb. 12. We are always looking for good sports. If you are interested in attending, see Comrade Sports Officer, Gard Elson. A must date to remember is Thursday, February 18 and what's so special about this date? Why it's the Zone A5 Dinner Meeting at Ilderton. Remember, Comrades, this is the election of officers night. Have your say in who you feel is best qualified to head your Zone for the ensuing . two years. The date, Thursday, Feb. 18 at Ilderton — starting time 7;00 p.m. Zone A5 Bowling competitions will be held at Strathroy, Saturday, Feb. 13 and the dart tournament will be held at Roosevelt Branch 2, London at 11 a.m. on the same date. Branch 540's second annual children's snow vehicle party held Saturday, Feb. 7 is now past history. I am sure it will live long in the minds of the many scores of happy children who enjoyed rides and the hot dogs, chili, pop and hot chocolate that followed. Our grateful thanks to the many who worked so hard preparing for the success of the venture— to the kitchen staff, the pearl divers (ahem) those who looked after the safety of the children and a very special thank you to the many snow vehicle operators without whose participation there would not have been so many happy children. We tip our berets to you fellows, namely: Wes Hickson, Terry Hickson, Don Hirtzel, Bev Hirtzel, Don Froats, Dan Gwalchmai, Charlie Elson, Roy Herbert, Roy Hodgins, Jim Hickson, Bill Mathers, Hugh Dietrich, Lorne Elliott, John Callcott, Charlie Glean, Earl Munroe and to any other operator whose name may have been inadvertently omini tted. Another important date to remember is April 14 and 25 — for these are the dates of the District A rally to be held this year in London. Comrades, this is also an election meeting and it is here that you will select the officers to look after the affairs of your District for the next two years. If you haven't had the opportunity to attend a District Rally, I assure you, Comrades, it is an experience you will long remember. Meeting old and making new friends, to elevate your thoughts to a higher level than just your branch, to get new ideas and above all to have an opportunity to voice an opinion and be heard. You will never get a meeting of such magnitude any closer to home than London. Try to attend, Comrade, I'm sure you will enjoy the meetings and the comradeship. Smilin' Carl advises that the Country Airs will be in the Sea, Land & Air Lounge, Sat. Feb.1.3 to entertain you.

Remember, there is a full membership meeting every Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. in the small meeting room at the Shillelagh. A thought to leave with you — Remember a snowmobile is not a toy. Whenever you climb aboard a snowmobile you should be dressed like you are going to operate a machine. Long trailing scarves, Happy or torn coats and gloves invite being caught in moving parts. Long dangling pierced earrings are taboo. As with any machine, if you remove protective parts, like clutch guards, you are flirting with painful experiences. Remember safety first.
