Comrades, as the years roll
along everyone expected the
ranks of the Royal Canadian
Legion to deminish. Here it is
over 25 years since the cessation
of hostilities and we continue to
grow much to the amazement of
everyone, that is except the
members.
The formula of our success is
very simple-Service, yes,
Comrades-Service - Service not
for self but Service for others - in
fact our service within the
Community, the Provinces and if
you will the Nation, are so
realistic everyone wants a 'Piece
of the Action', thus our mem-
bership grows and will continue
to grow as long as Legionaires
keep remembering the high
ideals upon which our great
organization is based and the
Sacrifice upon which it was
founded.
Few people realize the great
impact Legion Service has
within the community. To sub-
stantiate the Legions claim of
Service the following represents
the results of a survey conducted
by our Provincial Public
Relations Committee for
Ontario:
Branch Youth Projects, including
Minor Sports, Scouts, Cubs,
Cadets - Annually $600,000.00
Branch scholarships and bur-
saries awarded since1950 $300,000.
Publicspeaking- annually $24,000.
Value of aging veterans housing
$2,680,000,00

young people are now actively
engaging in Ontario Command

In making his announcement
Mr. Recker stressed the need for
a member who is familiar with
all areas of the riding, an active
person who will get out into the
riding, someone without
preconcieved ideas. but who will
listen,learn the problems and put
forth the needs and desires of the
residents of the riding.
The Middlesex riding takes in
all of Middlesex county, the
townships of Warwick and
llosanquet in Lambton county
and about 60 polls in the north
east corner of London bounded by
Adelaide and Cheapside streets,

Branch 540 will be supplyin' hats
befittin' the occasion and the
most generous portion of Irish
Stew at the conclusion of the
entertainment.
A word of caution however - if
you are intendin' to participate in
this grand celebration with your
lovely colleen - and to avoid
dissappointment - get you tickets
now - rememberin' there will be
a limited number of tickets for
sale - when they are gone that's it
- the committee are making
sartin' there will be plenty of
room for dancin' and celebra tin',
If you are attendin' get your
tickets now - none will be sold at
the door - admittance by advance
sale only. All we want is to be fair
- fore warned is fore armed.
Our branch sports program is
always available to be of en-
joyment to you. Comrades, all
your Sports Officer asks is for
you to participate. He offers
darts, euchre, cribbage, shuffle
board. If you desire any other
sport just make it known and
Comrade Sports Office will do his
best to implement it in his
program.
And speaking of entertainment
Smilin Carl has entertainment
laid on for every Saturday Night -
This week who knows - Carl's
surprise — come on over and get
in on the fun.
And that's 30 for this week
remember - Many a person has
learned, to his sorrow that it's far
easier to run into debt than to
outrun bill collectors.

Sunday, Rev. W.C. Tupling's
sermon was entitled The Law and
the Life, based on the book of
Romans.
`e He said today we are con-
sidering the relationship of sin
and the law. Do Christians really
need law? On the other hand, if
we know the law: are we not
obligated to keep it. Paul sees the
law in terms of reconciliation.
The best that can be said of the
law is that it is a school master
leading us to Christ. But if we
put our trust in the law we are
lost for the law can only condemn
it cannot save.
