Oh well, it's over for another year, you bet it will be different next year. I'll do a little each week and in that way it won't all pile up for next Labor Day weekend, You know I have a faint recollection of saying the same thing last year, oh well who's perfect. Hope you all had a good weekend and looking forward to a busy legion season.

Gary Coleman, Dennis Marshall and Gordon Mitchell were the ushers and Jimmy Deh- oey was a junior usher. After a reception at the Glencoe Fair Pavilion the bride changed to a smart pantsuit to travel to the New England States. The newly-weds will reside in Glencoe. Consider your hands for a moment, Consider how important they are in your life. Consider how easy they are to hurt. Your hands keep you in touch with the world. Take care of them. When you work, work defensively; a little thought, a little care, can bring you safely through the working day. They're your hands. Defend them. The sure way to safety is Self-Defence. Passes away at Camlachie Comrade Chisholm was a Life member of Branch 540 and the last remaining R.C.R. to have fought in the Boer War a distinction Branch 540 cherished very much. By the way Comrades and Friends, our Centennial is not quite complete until our proposed cairn is completed. The cairn will contain the artifacts of Lucan's Centennial celebrations plus other items of interest which will be sealed in a vault placed in the cairn and we hope not opened until the year 2071. Any person having any in- teresting snaps of the celebrations etc., they would like to donate, suitable for placing in a scrap book which will be sealed in the cairn, please leave or mail them to Sid Daley, Lucan. Comrades it has come to our attention there are many children in our area without ice skates or hockey equipment and we would like to do something about it by bringing the situation to your attention. Smilin' Carl Stuckless had kindly offered to head up this project and will look after the pick-up of any equip- ment offered. If while clearing the basement or garage you happen upon any hockey equipment that you would like to donate please give Comrade Carl a call at Huron Park phone 228-6837 or in the evening at the Lucan Legion 227- 2751. Don't worry what the equipment looks like Comrades, once we get it we will put it in shape and make sure it reaches some happy youngster. Zone Commander Comrade Bill Smith advises the next Zone A5 meeting will be held at the Delaware Branch of the Canadian Legion on September 16 at 8:30 p.m. Let's all get behind Comrade Bill and surprise him with a large attendance. Our thanks to Comrade Ernie Ross for donating a 'War' Map to Branch 540. Comrade Dick Worthington has kindly volun-, teered to frame it, following which it will be hung in the Sea, Land and Air Lounge. This map should be of great interest to you `ARMY TYPES' as you will be able to retrace your driver up through France etc. finally into Germany.
