Hensall Legion receives print The town of Bow Island, Alberta (the Bean capital of the West) has challenged The Village of Hensall (the White Bean Capital of Canada) to see who has the fittest beans! The competition is based on partici- pation as a percentage of the population, therefore everybody counts. Activities for the chal- lenge are sell in the planning stages, but Hensall's main activity will be a community walk. This is a return to a previous tradition. The Challenge will be Wednesday, May 31 with the walk 'warm-up' to begin at the Village Town Hall at 7 p.m. Residents are encouraged to come out and participate in this summeractive event...and bring along friends, family and neighbours. Residents are reminded, of course that the Community Walk is not the only way to participate. naturally, not everyone will be able to make it out for the event. Any physi- cal activity counts? Registra- tions of activities can be made by phoning the Hensall Munici- pal Office (262-2812). If you walk to the post office - it counts! If you do your garden- ing - it counts! Wednesday evening, May 10, Hensall Legion, prior to hold- ing their meeting, were pres- ented with a framed limited edition print of the original `Milk for Britain' poster from the Kinsmen and Kinetics. This is a picture of baby with a bandage over his head, tears falling down his cheeks saying, `I want a drink of milk." Dur- ing the war years this picture was a card that fit over a milk bottle, it was then placed in stores and banks to collect money for the Kin to buy milk for the children of the besieged British Isles. The 'Milk for Britain' campaign raised close to three million dollars that was used to purchase more than 50 million quarts of milk. This program was spearheaded by Kin founder, Hal Rogers. Don't forget the upcoming parade and dedication of the fountain in Liberation Park in Goderich, on May 20 at 2 p.m. A reminder that the Legion Auxiliary Penny Sale will be starting May 23 and will run until June 3.
