Too bad more of our members wouldn't take ad- vantage of this delightful en- tertainment which is put on for their enjoyment. Sure is disappointing to the management who go to great lengths to make your branch an interesting place to be. Give it some thought, do you want en- tertainment on a Saturday or not - its entirely up to you. November 11th may be past for this year however I feel sure it will be remembered for a long time by the person who walked off with a case of wine glasses which we borrowed for use at our Remembrance Banquet. Must be some small people around and hope that when you use them that the persons being entertained will recognize them and realize just how small you. really are. 540's cheque draw is coming along just great - remember sales stop just prior to the first draw in January after which no more will be sold.

UCW plans for bazaar BY SID DALey, At our last general meeting we were honored indeed to have Major Golding C.F.B., London in attendance, who went into great detail with regard to the forming of a cadet corps in Lucan. Branch 540 are still very much interested in forming a corps, however it was felt we should find out how many youths over 12 and under 19 are interested in joining such a movement. Before we carry our planning any fur- ther all young chaps at the ages mentioned above are requested to either telephone or drop a line to Branch 540, Royal Canadian Legion, Lucan as soon as possible, the minimum required to get started is 25. There now its up to you, believe me from what we have heard so far it could be Tots of fun. Remember now the invitation to join is not restricted to the youth of Lucan alone, no way, if you are interested just get in touch. Branch 540's Pot 0 Gold" still rolls on. Comrade Jim Lockyer's name was drawn on Saturday and he not being registered the 'Pot 0 Gold' carries on till next Saturday.

In the morning he spoke on "The sign," In a time of great trouble in King Ahab's life, God spoke to him and told him to ask for a sign and although he would not ask, God did give him a sign. It was that Jesus Christ would come that we might live a vic- torious life in Him. The message in the evening was of how a lame man walked, leaped and praised God in the temple when Peter said "Look on us," Mr. Brewster said it is very important if we are living a Christian life and want to be a blessing to others to have the "double portion". Several of the young people attended a "retreat" near Orangeville, over the weekend. Rev, and Mrs. B. McNeil and family, Chatham accompanied Mr. and Mrs. Brewster and Mr. McNeil led in the song service. 4-H prepare for Achieveme'nt The "Block Busters" and the "Lucan Dainty Designers" are busy preparing for their Achievement Day, becember 15, The lower C,E, rooms at the United Church were a hive of activity when the girls got together Saturday 'morning, Explorers make felt bookmarks About 15 Lucan-Clandeboye Explorers took part in the opening ceremony conducted by Bonnie Richards at a recent meeting.
