Incidentally I hear via the grape vine there will be 'hn Early Bird Draw so get 'ere paid now and get in on something that is FREE. Congratulations to Comrades Ede and Dick Worthington whose 'joint' stub was drawn making them the winners of the November cheque draw of $100.00, Keeping my fingers crossed for the $1,000.00 draw in December — sure could use it, Had the privilege to visit Legion House in Ottawa last week, sure was nice to speak with members of Dominion Com- mand. Had an interesting talk with the chap in charge of membership — brother has he got problems — he showed me some snarly letters he has received from Branch Mem- bership Chairmen — and it all boiled down to the Membership Chairman supplying the wrong information to be processed. So it would be well Comrades to double check all submissions prior to 'dirty word' mailing. On the way home managed to visit several branches up in the Ottawa Valley, Let me tell you friends, my Legion Membership Card meant instant friendship. We would walk into a branch a stranger, show my card, sign the register, and almost immediately some member would come over to our table and right away You were made to feel at home. It has been my observation during my travels that this is true wherever there is a Legion, In Canada, Great Britain, you are always made welcome,. I wonder what other organization can make the same claim, Dave Inglis name was drawn for the pot (3' Gold, However he failed to register which allows the Pot to grow for at least another week.
