ambition to go in the right,
direction, Many directions are
found in the Hand Book,
Enthusiasm overcomes
obstacles." '

to increase branch membership
20percent, We have a program to

great heritage to live up to. A
nation may not rise higher. than its

listen to the Youth of the World.
Have we let them down?" ,
"Do we appreciate the Sr.
Citizens. and the wonderful,
heritage' they have passed on,"
the speaker queried. "Canada is a
leader in the world with its. multi •.
racial WpeopTe` s we' a'r'e
conservative, .. we have the
freedom to think and freedom of
choice. We must keep our nation's
development and beware that we
do not pollute the water and the .
Or. A good community keeps up to
').- ate in society. Does:the
community know •about the 'good
qualities of the W.I. or do we keep
it to ourselves, As ,a responsible
world citizen, give something of
yourself back to the community.,"

prove to be the right direction?"
-We must get Dr's. out of the
