The sympathy of the com- munity is extended to the family By SID DALEY Comrades since becoming your Ontario Correspondent of our National Magazine 'Legion' and receiving numerous news letters and branch bulletins from throughout our great Command I am amazed at the diversity of the programs and the tremendous impact the Legion must have upon the community. Believe me, Comrades I have been a member of the Royal Canadian Legion for many years and knew that the Legion did good work, but didn't realize just how great until my recent ap- pointment. It becomes apparent the Legion has broadened its outlook, not only are we con- cerned with the welfare of the serviceman, his wife, and family lo perpetu.7 tine' ti memory of our fallen comrades; we are deeply concerned and involved with the youth of our nation. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are raised annually by the Branches in support of super- vised programs to reach them. Can you visualize the many man hours donated by dedicated Comrades to carry out these programs? The figures are astronomical, Of importance also, is the fact the monies raised and the man hours contributed is used ex- clusively in the community and area serviced by the branch. Some areas of our endeavour take on a wider scope with the youth competing in area, provincial and ac the national level. Along with this program and long before the Government got into the field of low cost housing for the senior citizens, the Royal Canadian Legion had several million dollars invested in this program under Provincial Charters for charitable organizations. In most instances the rental being cost plus maintenance over a period of 50 years. The project in which I became interested, the markup was one half of one percent until a certain bank balance was reached, then this was deleted. With the costs of maintenance, municipal taxes, services, etc. rising the com- mittee has yet to increase the rental per unit, raising the ad- ditional monies required in diverse ways. Comrades, the Legion programs are as diverse as its membership, we have a spot for you in our Great Organization, there is more to Legion than just club room privileges, we have a great record for service in the past will be even greater in tne futarr_, if you have the qualifications get on the band wagon, get some of the action by joining your local Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, you will be glad that you did — I, for one, am extremely proud to be known as a Legionaire. Remember Comrades it's horse racing every Saturday afternoon at Branch 540, this is becoming increasingly popular. Come on over get in on the excitement and enjoy a sociable hour with your comrades — it's great fun — just another way Branch 540 is trying to be of service to you. Comrades, in last week's comments I made the suggestion that having the facilities we could possibly get the Red Cross to come to Lucan and set up a blood bank providing we could register enough donors — the response has been gratifying indeed — however we do need more names before we can even think of ex- tending the invitation. Why not telephone 227-4751 right now and register as a donor? We will advise you later the date and time of the clinic. Our pocket book lending library is still available in the Sea Land and Air Lounge. If you have some paper backs you wish to contribute they will be more than welcome and if you wish to ex- change any paper backs you are more than welcome — there is no charge and Li'] Len our duty steward will make you more than welcome. Smilin' Carl, our Newfie Steward, is on holidays if you happen to miss him around the Branch — we hope that he and his family have a happy one — the weather up till now sure has been favourable — hope it continues Carl. And to all our other friends who are proceeding on vacation we sincerely hope they also will have a safe and happy holiday. and that's 30 for this week — remember if you accept something for nothing don't kick about the quality.
