By SID DALEY Comrades I have been requested by the Provincial membership chairman to submit membership figures for 1972 prior to January 31. While we are pleased to be able to report 75 percent paid up, we are going to hold off submitting our report until the last possible moment in anticipation more of our Comrades will heed the Call and get their 1972 dues paid. In 1971 we reported 100 percent Early Bird - why should 1972 be any different. Admittedly its too late to become an Early Bird, but certainly not too late for Branch 540 to make the Best Membership Report in District A. Let us all keep 540 in the lead, let us set the example for the district, its up to you, Comrades. Branch 540 was pleased indeed to have the opportunity to propose a true friend of Legion for Honorary Membership in Branch 540 and this person is none other than Ross Haugh — Congratulations Ross, nice to have you aboard. We are continuing to grow Comrades with five more ap- plications for membership in active Branch 540 being accepted at our last general meeting. Don't forget ladies, 540 is presenting -Tim McFarlane and • the Cardinals on Saturday February 12, this being the closest weekend to Valentine's day 1972 and this being 'Leap Year' who knows what could happen. Now you gals make certain your best beau keeps this date open and takes you over to Active Branch 540 — Remember 'Sadie Hawkins.' There should be a fine display of Canada Flags in Lucan and area for every time we attempt to fly the flag, some person steals it. Whoever you are we of the Legion trust you will place our flags to good use and fly them 'Proudly.' Of course these nincompoops don't realize that with each added expense they create for us means just that many fewer dollars available for community projects. Comrade 'Smilin' Carl Stuckless has started a pocket book exchange service for you in the Sea Land and Air Lounge. If you have some pocket novels you have read, bring them over for exchange for some you haven't. Carl also advises 540's Saturday night entertainment will resume on January 29 when the Demons will be on hand to entertain you. Demons! sounds ominous —; should be a lot of fun. Some people have all the luck — received a card from Comrade Harold and Doris Butler yesterday advising they are having a great vacation with temperatures ranging between 80 and 85 — where you might ask — why the Barbados, of course — where else. Now that the Canadian figure skating has been to London, my thoughts turn to Branch 540's Ladies Auxiliary sponsored figure skating club and in this regard I am happy to advise information has been received that Susan Ryan, 200 Trowbridge, London formerly of Lucan started her figure skating back in 1962 in the Legion sponsored Club, Recently Susan passed her Junior Brone in single dance and is now working on her solo. So you see ladies your effort has borne fruit and who knows in all probability Susan will be skating in the Canadian figure skating league before long — just because you, our ladies, had the foresight to sponsor such a program. and that's 30 for this week — remember — One reason women outlive men is that they engage daily in a particularly strenuous exercise — struggling in and out of girdles.
