BY SID DALEY Had an enjoyable weekend in Barrie attending a Seminar at the Legion Branch there, it was certainly well attended from the area legionnaires. There were workshops on every phase of Legion and it was the general consensus the program is necessary, well timed and in- formative. Most of the top brass were there to instruct and answer questions. Of course my baby is the National Magazine 'Legion' and let me tell you I was most sur- prised at the questions asked. All chairmen were pleased with the result - the reaction of those attending to the various workshops was most rewarding. This was the first of the area seminars to be held throughout the province, the next one will be in North Bay to look after Districts H. & K., then will come Kingston and a little later Lon- don. I urge the comrades to make note of the date of the seminar that will be held to service your branch and then make sure you have representation in at- tendance, These sessions cannot do anything but better the legion, by having informed and dedicated Legionnaires at, the helm of each and every Legion Branch Committee. Make it a point to attend - really great. Unfortunately it is an impossibility to be in two places at one time.
