By SID DALEY The Royal Canadian Legion stays right in there and continues working for the veteran and the community. This became quite evident following the District Commanders report to the District A convention held recently in London.

West- minister Hospital: re visits, annual hospital carnivals, variety shows etc, $4,350.00 Other expenditures to Charity and other organizations $22,220.75 for a total of $55,240.75. Our Legion Bursary Program $10,950.00 Grand Total $66,190.75. District A also sponsors Literary (poem and Essay), Public Speaking and many more programs too numerous to mention. Comrades this gives you just a rough idea of what the Royal Canadian Legion is doing in 'PEACE' we also did our bit during WAR.' Remember Comrades District A, which encompasses Lucan, is but one of eleven Districts into which the Province of Ontario is divided. Can you imagine the tremendous impact the Royal Canadian Legion must have. Also remember, monies raised by a Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion is spent within their own Community. Our motto should be ."WE CONTINUE TO SERVE," Now you know Comrades why I am so proud to be a member of the Royal Canadian Legion, the ACTIVE SET. How about you? If you are not already a member and are 'EX-SERVICE' see any Legionnaire who willbe happy to help you to become a member. By the way, another great at- tribute membership in the Royal Canadian Legion has to offer is 'COMRADESHIP.' No matter where you may travel, at home or distant land, your Royal Canadian Legion Lapel Badge will identify you as a COMRADE and as such Com- radeship follows. Our second annual ladies ap- preciation banquet will be held Saturday May 15. We are proud of our ladies and the fine work they continue to do. It is only right the tables be turned and we wait on them for a change. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who answered our plea for bicycle, tricycle and wagon parts. The response was tremendous and Comrade PAGE is swamped with parts for the present, however keep looking and hold any parts you may come across and we will advise when collections will resume. Now there is something that is needed desperately and that is bicycle tires. There are some bicycles ready for delivery to a retarded child that only require tires to complete the job. How about it Folks, CAN YOU HELP OUT ON THIS COMMODITY? May 8 a team from Branch 540 journeyed to Corunna to take part in the District A dart tournament. It would appear the other Dart Clubs throughout the District have also been practicing, as our Dart Team didn't fare so well. We are still proud of you Comrades for taking the time to participate represent good old 540. May 28 'Captain' Harvey HILLMAN takes his Euchre Team to the District A Finals to be held in Strathroy. Good Luck Lucan United Church was decorated with baskets of mixed white flowers April 24, 1971 when Rev. W. C. Tupling united Daisy Lavinia Cobleigh and Robert Edward Stevenson in holy matrimony.

A four-tier net veil was held by a head-piece of floral and leaf design. She carried a bouquet of pink and white roses. The bride's sister, Mrs. Peter Manders, *as matron of honour, while another sister, Mrs. Robert Porter, and Alice Bryan were bridesmaids.
