Associate, honorary, fraternal
affiliate and Ladies of the
Auxiliary - how's that for spelling
it out - Also remember it is
mixed, so bring along your lady

and enjoy the fun and ex-
citement.
Our Sports Officer has posted a
list in the lounge with columns for
the different sports to be played,
just enter your name and X the
sports you would like to play.
That's 8:00 p.m. October 9 - see
yu there,
The comrades are also
reminded Ontario Command has
laid on a Seminar for Sunday,
September 30th at the Royal
Canadian Legion Hall in London.
At the seminar a lot of the Brass
from Command are presented to
discuss with you public relations,
citizenship, poppy, public
relations. It was my pleasure to
attend a like seminar at Barrie
earlier this year and found it to be
most informative.
The various workshops are well
conducted and the chairmen
thoroughly versed on their
allotted subject. I can assure you
Comrades these Seminars are
well worth the time and effort
spent in attendance and you will
leave with a greater insight of the
function of the Royal Canadian
Legion at all levels.
'just a little reminder that you
keep the date of Friday, October
5. open for this is when Branch
540 will entertain you with the
Carleton Show Band direct from
the Pig and Whistle. Don't be
disappointed now get your tickets
early - incidentally they are
selling well - the price $4.00 per
person advance sale and $5.00 per
person at the door.
Of special attention to those of
you who do not have tran-
sportation to witness this great
event, which, as you already
have been advised, will be held in
the Rec. Centre, Huron Park,
Branch 540 has laid on two buses
to supply 'free' transportation
from the Lucan Legion to the Rec
Centre and return following the
performance - how's that for
service - after all what else would
you expect from good old 540.
There it is folks the rest is up to

Night classes
at Biddulph
This fall in Lucan you can begin
to learn the art of Self Defense,
Karate and Kung Fu classes for
men and women will be held at
Biddulph Central School starting
October 9.
For those interested in more
meditative exercises, a Course in
Yoga will also be held starting
the same day.
There is one problem in all
business paperwork. Forms,
entries, accounts and trial
balances keep all but the most
wary in hot water. Big businesses
hire accountants, bookkeepers
and staff to keep the books. Small
businesses seldom can afford this
luxury,
Therefore, a special course in
Bookkeeping for Small Business
will be offered starting October 9,
This course Will give the 4111411
businessman the ability to get
through his paperwork quTckly
and competently.
Registration for these and
other courses will be held
Tuesday, October 2 at 7:30 p.m.
in fliddulph Central School.
Four of the seven accidents
investigated by officers of the

Hi folks, here I am back to
work, darn it, from my old
stamping grounds around the
head of the Lakes. We certainly
found a great difference in the
weather and must say happy we
could bring some of the cooler
weather back with us.
I was able to visit with some of
my old buddies (many types of
course) in the old town where I
joined up and later joined the
Legion, Might add we discussed
old times over a suds or two (?).
While in the area managed to
wet a line - the fishing is still
wonderful and caught our limit of
pickerel weighing between 2 to
21/2 pounds each with the odd 2
pound perch thrown in for good
measure. All in all we had a good
holiday. However it sure was nice
to get home but tough to get
settled down to the old routine.
Now hear this - here is the date
you have all been waiting to hear
