Your members have already demonstrated in times of war that you could face a common peril, side-by-side, with valour and tenacity. You never allowed the difference of language, religion or geography to divide you. You can use that same devotion to our common cause to help the people of Canada to stand and understand together. You can encourage and inspire all Canadians to combine and use their strength to weld this tremendous and wonderful country of ours into a free, vibrant Canada — Labrador is such a brilliant, virile example of how strong and free this country can be if we can only learn to live and work together." And that's 30 for this week, Remember — We only hope that all the under 21 year olds who are eagerly flocking to the bars will also flock to the polls to vote come next election.

Comrades, as summer '71 draws to a close, we can look back and reminisce on what an eventful summer it really has been. All Lucanites can be truly proud of the "Foin Celebration" commemorating Lucan's 100th birthday, The week long event was the result of good planning, hard work and the complete co- operation of all organizations working with the Municipal authorities. No one can say that the celebration was anything but successful. To imagine a village the size of Lucan sponsoring such an energetic program must have the larger centres agog and its im- pact on our visitors and guests can leave nothing but a good and lasting impression. Branch 540 and the area veterans were well represented. With a brass band from our Comrades of Mitchell, a pipe band from Strathroy branch plus two floats; one depicting the serious side of Legion, the other the fun side, plus a fine display of Zone A5 colours did much to add colour to the parade. Thanks, Comrades for a job well done. And as the fall gradually makes its presence known, Branch 540 reminds all comrades that our general meetings commence on Wednesday, Sept. 8, at 8:30 p.m. Make it a point to attend, comrade. Your new Executive Council is brim full of enthusiasm and looking forward to an eventful and interesting Legion session. All members of good standing owe it to themselves and to their branch to be in attendance at the general meetings and support these good comrades who devote their time to the Legion cause, The meetings only last a couple of hours.
