This year a new agreement between the OMHA and WOAA allowed one vote per ,team. In other years the WOAA had only two votes for the entire association. Because the agreement was reached quite recently, only"two teams from the WOAA had representation at the meeting. However now the WOAA will have 174 votes at future meetings. These votes are other than the association executive which was fully represented on Saturday. Several samples of facial . protection were exhibited along with the presentation by the Thornhill people. The masks were both of wire and ,clear, see- through variety.

OPERATION SERVICE Legion's Golden Year Project The Royal Canadian Legion has taken on a monumental task for 1976 its Golden Anniversary Year. It is the hope of the Legion to contact every veteran, every ex-service person and-or spouse or dependent in Canada ,to make certain all are aware of their rights under the-Veteran's Charter. This major effort will call for thousands of Legion members across Canada to volunteer to serve as campaign chairmen, team captains and home visitors, to man telephone§ and information desks, and to carry out a variety of other tasks, which will make possible contact with those who need our help, but who are unaware that theY are entitled to certain benefits. The general public too, will become very Much aware of Operation Serviee through the media. It will consequently present a golden opportunity to Legion branches io demonstrate to the communities in which they are located, pie practical application of the much quoted statement in the Legion Ritual tO the effect that, Their sacrifice will ever inSpire us to labour on to the end, that thOse wile survive and need our aid, may be ' assured of aSsistance, • The task in this operation is: 1. To assure that all petsOns who may be eligible for benefits ate acquainted with their rights in this regard. 2. To direct all qtierieS.fot counSelling or benefits to the setvice officer at branch Or COMmand leVel. So if a Legion nietnber calls, please welcome him, He isn't selling anything, but rather he is ttying to help people and he has ari enormous task to do. Thank you.
