Makes Donations • The local branch also makes ash contributions to a variety f worthy causes here, includ- g assistance to the •Goderich dd District Association for Re- rded Children, The Salvation my and other works of a charitable nature, aside from thew welfare a;re work which is done for veterans, regardless of whe- ther they are members ornot. • On the strength of this pro- gram of activities which is be- ing steadily expanded, the local branch, along with the national organization, is aiming at a six percent increase in member- ship by the end of 1963. Many Unattached Statistics show that there are many veterans and ex -service persons eligible for membership who have not joined. Anyone with full-time service • experi- ence and honorably discharged, is eligible for membership. Apart from the opportunity to work with fellow comrades and veterans for the public good, Legion executive ` mem- bers. are hoping that prospec- tive members will realize the value of the companionship and social activity with people ofeer��nm'on' interests:- Some of these activities Are dart competitions, bowling teams, dances during the winter season and bingo games 'on a regular basis. Important Role In many of these activities, the ladies 6f the Auxiliary to the Legion play a leads art, and the Goderich ladies have a well-earned reputation for the excellent banquets which they serve for various groups at the Legion Hall. They also took an active part in the carnival recently held by the Legion to raise funds • for the housing project. The Auxiliary offers a chance for the wives of Legion mem- bers to share in a similar pro- gram of community service., Based on its present member- ship_ of about 300, ab t25 'new embers would mouore than fule fit the six percent target. - A tually, the local branch hopes to exceed this considerably, as thereeee quite a job to be done in re -activating former members who 'fpr one `reason or another are inactive. Membership was at one time in the 400's. • Membership forms are avail- able at the Legion Hall or from any member on request. olive Liquor Seizures d More., than 50 performers, re- presenting top talent from five continents, are with Sells and e •* Cl ewns and pretty dancing girls also appear with the circus. , Gray wild animal circus which comes to Goderich "on Monday, August 19.
