To wind up the evening the members and guests enjoyed an evening of dancing and comradeship. Our thanks to Auxiliary President Comrade Gladys Reilly and her band of faithfuls for preparing a delightful lunch and of course to 540's faithful Ross Haugh, who, though smitten by the flu bug, still journeyed to Lucan to record the events on film, how can we ever thank dedication like that. Comrades, we have had our public address system and record player repaired and it is working really great — now here is the problem — most of our records are, well to be honest 'lousy' — if you happen to have any good dance records (remembering the average age of the comrades, Ahem) that you would like to contribute to the cause, give us a call at the Legion and we would be most happy to pick,them up. It is felt that if we can build up a good record library, there is no reason the membership of Branch 540 and their friends could not enjoy more social evenings together. A wee look into the future — our Comrades of Branch 176 Forest, are planning a Veterans Day and Legion drumhead service on Centennial Sunday August 6. There will be a fly past, parade, the works. These Comrades are requesting branches from throughout the area to bring their branch colors and parade with them. Any Comrade who would like to attend are requested to contact their branch secretary that the Comrades of Forest may be advised. This will be a family day so be governed accordingly, there will be eats, and fun for everyone. The Lucan Irish Nine will host a fastball tournament in the ball park, Lucan on June 30, July 1, 2, 3. Get over to the ball park and support your team, Comrades. On Saturday July 1 the tour- nament dance will be held at the Lucan Memorial Areana. Come on over and dance to Joe Overholt and his orchestra, the costa mere $3.00 a couple. This weekend our children will be out of school for the summer, let them enjoy a happy and carefree holiday by keeping our highways safe, drive carefully Comrades — your very life depends upon it, Have an en- joyable, funfilled summer and if you have a moment remember Smilin' Carl or Li'l Len are always ready to welcome you and your guests to good old 540. and that's 30 for this week remember — We make a living by what we GET; we make a life by what we GIVE.
