the Comrades of Exeter Legion.
Remember the date folks that's
2.00 p.m. Saturday, January 27 at
Branch 540, Lucan. Make it a
point to attend, whether or not
you are a dart player, you will
enjoy the Comradeship that goes
along with good sports.
Here is something that will be
of interest to all members of
Branch 540 and their ladies and
incidentally will be a first for the
Action Branch. On Sunday,
January 28 between the hours of
3:00 and 5:00 p.m. Branch 540 will
take over the Lucan Bowling
Lanes for the purpose of holding
mixed bowling.
Here is the picture as I get it,
the bowling is to be strictly for
fun and whether you bowl or not
-everyone is welcome - All names
are placed In a 'hat and as -they
are picked, this is your team,
bowlers and non bowlers all
mixed up - sure sounds like a lot
of fun, following the games all
participants adjourn to the
Legion Hall for a pot luck supper
and a sing song.
Make it a point to come along,
if enough members enjoy
themselves and so desire, this
could become a monthly event.
See you there folks.
Incidentally when you have a
moment it might be a good idea to
let Li'l Len our Sports Officer
know if you intend to participate,
this will give him some idea on
how many to expect.
The comrade of Branch 540
extend a vote of thanks to
Comrade Macintosh and his good
wife for donating Comrade
Dandy Boy of Lucan to the
Branch for a draw the proceeds
of which went to bolster our
Building Fund $40, also tips its
beret to Roy Scott whose
Christmas cake draws netted
$62.50 to be added to the Branch
Sports Fund.
And to mention a few winners,
of course you are always a
winner when you are a member
of the Royal Canadian Legion,
especially Branch 540. Winner of
the Sports 50-50 draw was Helen
Wagner - winner of the Early
Bird Draw was Comrade Charles
Couglin and Comrade Murray
Hodgins was drawn for the at-
tendance draw, he not being in
attendance makes the draw
worth $10.00 for the February
general meeting.

At a recent meeting of the

also used books, pictures and

its uses. The next expedition is
January 22, and each girl is to tell,
a fact about India.
