They joined the Legion, not for what they can get out of it, but for what they can put in. They are the ones that put aside their own persona) views and think in terms of the Legion as a whole; who are also willing to give of their time and effort to further the aims and objectives of the Legion which they vowed to uphold. They are the ones who think not only of the Branch but in a broader sense of the community of which they are a part; they are the ones who by their words and deeds set an example not only as good Legionnaires) but as good citizens. Now hear this --Now hear this 111,— Attention Branch 540 mem- bers' children — Sunday afternoon July 25 Branch 540 will host their annual Children's picnic at 'Hillbilly' Hodgins Farm for paid up members children.
