Ross is a good and tree friend of Legion, who is as close to any Legion function as his telephone. It was my pleasure, on behalf of the Legion to present to our good friend Ross, the Royal Canadian Legion Certificate of Merit. As you may have guessed, When the District Commander is invited to a function it must be for a reason and it generally means putting him to work. However I feel sure our District Com- mander Comrade George Brown of Chatham, derived a great deal of pleasure from the task he was called upon to perform. In recognition of fine work, `The Exeter Times Advocate' has done over the years in the field of `Public Relations' on behalf of Legion, by publishing in word and photograph the Legion at work in the community; our District Commander presented Bill Batten, editor of this fine weekly, with the Royal Canadian Legion `Dominion Command' Media Award with an accompanying citation over the signature of the Dominion President Comrade Judge Redmond Roche 0,B,E„ K.St.J., E.D,, C.D., Q.C. This is a most deserving award and the Comrades of Branch 540 were pleased to have had the opportunity to recommend the Exeter Times Advocate for it, A note of interest, this is only the second time the Media Award has been presented, quite a distinguished honor to our many ..friends of the Advocate, 'Congratulations,' We were also happy to welcome the hard working immediate past president of the Ladies Auxiliary to Branch 272 of the Royal Canadian Legion, liespeler, Comrade Crane. to our presen- tation night and trust she had an enjoyable evening. Smilin' Carl advises Saturday's entertainment supplied by One Eyed Jack was well received as was 540's first attempt at amateur night. Winner of First prize was the husband and wife team of Don and Sylvia Geiser playing flute and piano duet, Comrade Harry Bond and his son won second place honors with their rendition of some favourite songs while third place went to Pat Regan. This type of en- tertainment was most ap- preciated and Smilin' Carl ad- vises he has another such night laid on for January. Our good Comrades of Branch 116 Strathroy advise they are sponsoring a mixed dart tournament on Saturday November 13, starting time 12 noon. The cost $1.00 per person per event. Apparently there are many awards to be won plus cash prizes for doubles and team events. Anyone interested in entering a team please contact our Sports Officer Comrade Gord Elson. 540's Early Bird campaign is progressing favorably, only you can make it 100 percent suc- cessful. 'Dig Deep' Comrade, pay your 72 dues and let 540 again lead the way and show the other branches what can be done with the co-operation of everyone. Comrades are reminded the District A Convention hosted by our comrades of St. Thomas will be held Saturday and Sunday, October 16th and 17th. Here is were we get into the 'Nitty Gritty' of Legion. Here is where we formulate Legion policy. Here is where we meet our Comrades from throughout District A, discuss business, enjoy Legion comradeship (which incidentally is second to none), greet old and make new friends, I could go on and on. Make it a point to attend Comrade, take your lady along - you'll be glad you did. Sorry folks-540's bus to Oktoberfest in Kitchener is sold out, my goodness the tickets went fast - maybe next year we should start a little earlier and try for two buses. Must be quite a celebration, next year I will put my name in a little earlier for a ticket. And that's 30 for this week - remember-Self-praise has no real value. Put it in the same class as anything else you get for nothing. By SID DALEY Friday, October 8, 471 will be a date long remembered by Comrades of Branch 540.
