On November 2, 1931- the Royal Canadian Legion started with 17 mem- bers in Brussels. Now they hive a total of 200 members. The Legion srri ves for peace, good will, and friend- ship among all nations and this has to start in the community. At present the Legion has a Publis Speaking and Remembrance Day Liter- ary Composition ConteSt for Grey Central School and Brussels Public School. Hav- ing this contest is one way they try to create a good relationship between the two schools. Each year the Public Speaking winners receive trophies from the Legion. The students who have writ- ten the best Remembrance Day essay or poem are awarded money for their efforts. Medallions are pre- sented by the Legion to the top athletes in Track and Field. The Legion also suppl- ies a Remembrance Day film for each school to use in a Remembrance Day assemb- ly. These presentations are greatly appreciated. Recreational activities in the Community are also sponsored by the Legion. The Legion helped buy shirts and coats for the Brussels Pee Wee hockey team. They have contributed towards the cost of busing the children to swimming lessons during the summer. For the younger children pf the community the Legion installed a wading pool in Brussels. All this is greatly appreciated 'by everyone. The Royal Canadian Leg- ion stands for strong and united comradeship among all people who have served so that their rights and interests will not be forgotten To-help this happen the Ladies Auxiliary, which is a • part of the Legion, has adopted two, disabled vet- erans from West Minister Hospital in London. They make sure these veterans received a birthday present, a Christmas present and whatever else they may need. In, early autumn of each year the Legion takes a box of oranges and bananas to the veterans in. West Minister Hospital for them to enjoy. Hoping that you do not die, Going to, the war. He's a brave, brave man, Leaving for the war, He will do the very best he can, Flying to the war. Shooting down his enemies, Nervous in the war, Thinking of his loving-famil- ies, Crying in the war. Watching all the buildings burn, Thinking of the war, Seeing all the airplanes turn, Crashing in the war. This great person is my grandfather, Fighting in the war, Chancing his life like his ancestors, Being in the war. He's my Greatest Canad- ian Hero. —Dedicated to my grand- father Rd. Miles and the crew of the 405 Pathfinder Squadron. Crystal Devlin THE LEGION'S PLACE IN THE COMMUNITY 'The Royal Canadian Leg- ion Branch 218 is faithfully serving the community of Brussels. In 1926 the first Royal Canadian Legion Branch for this district was formed in Mount Forest. Ofne of the reasons the Royal Canadian lee The Legion wants to safe- guard the welfare of the dependents of 'the disabled, the sick, the aged, and the needy war veterans. Near Remembrance Day the' Leg- ion sells poppies made by disabled war veterans. The money from the sale of the poppies is put into a poppy Fund. This money may then be tised to help aged, retard- ed, or crippled veterans and their families. This will help the veterans not to feel dm• . forgotten. The Brussels Legion Branch 218 has an important place in our community plac- ing their support in commun- ity services and charitable purposes. Wendy Martin s.
