To tble Legion's credit, it will also be a year of looking top future. e Legion is making this a, highly Sym- og s g year, in which it officially recognizes tha.C'�tts now time for a change of command, as t were. It is time for Veteran members to bee!' the process of handing over the respensibility for the Legion to the younger generation. This process of evolution has been ar- tictelated by Comrade Steve Dunsdon, Domi- nion President. "The Era of the World War IIVeteran is passing and the future of the Bion will soon be in the capable hands of our Canadian Youth." So as well as reminding Canadians of the Legion's splendid contributions to our way of life, this year's events will also emphasize the continuing process of rejuvenation. This will recognize what has already been happening across the country. Today. the Associate members known as the sons and daughters of the Legion represents about one-third of the membership, and in time they will become the majority. Recognizing this reality, the Legion executive has drawn , up a new oath of allegiance, whereby the sons and daughters will dedicate, themselves to uphold the traditions and loo s aheaa standar* of the Legion, and work to ensure the centinuattiOn of the Legionitself. • Thus the Well will preserve its original ggoals of Fatriot,#sa'ii, Loyalty and Remem- brance, and enehajnce its more e gine c com- mitment to wider community sThis community involvement is a vital and grow- ing thing, In 1984 the Legion contributed' some $30-million,to a wide range of service programs and activities, and the local Legion branches are no exceptions. This is an opportunity for branches to demonstrate their pride in the organization 'and reaffirm their commitment to country, community and comrades.

"People have responded and several have been running me with every day in the coun- try, but it is disheartening sometimes to think I'm not sponsored for as much as I had hoped," she said in a telephone interview from Fukushima, 200 kilqmetres north of Tokyo.

'' Karen Cook Karen returns from pageant You have to wear the right dress and have the proper accessories. You have to speak clearly, walk properly and eat your spaghet- ti in an acceptable manner. irk Competing against 106 young ladies was Karen Cook, of Clinton; at the Canadian Na- tional Exhibition (CNE) Pageant on August 11-14. Karen earned the right to compete at the pageant after being crowned, Clinton Fair Queen in 1984. Karen was not among the top winners .at the CNE contest, but. she found it to be an enjoyable experience. . .... "It was a good holiday. Everything was looked after and paid for," she commented. "We toured the legislature, Ontario Place. and wandered around the CNE.'" But the entire three days were not all play. Contestants had to be aware of their every move. "They watched us watch and eat. We went to the .Old Spaghetti Factory and 'didn't notice that the judges were there watching us until we were half way through," Karen said. She also explained that judging was done on the way they talked while on stage and an interview they had with the judges. A typical day for Karen was up at 5:30 a.m. and ready for breakfast by 7 a.m. She. would go through an interview, have lunch With the girls and then go to Ontario Place or another tourist site for the afternoon, all the time wearing her sash and crown. Before supper,. she would change and after supper she would go to rehearsal. Karen's wardrobe consisted of four short dresses, four pairs of shoes and all the ac- cessories. "We wore short dresses during the day and then a long dress for the pageant. The short dresses were casual summer dresses," she explained. Karen has found her year as queen to be "a valuable experience. I learned how to tack to a large crowd and I also learned more about how the Clinton fair is run...I'd do it again if I could, but I think l'd like to get into judging and try the other side." Throughout the year, Karen has represented Clinton at a number of func- tions. During the .Clinton Fair in 1984, she • handed out trophies and ribbons for various events as well as taking part in the parade. She attended the summer piciuc for the agricultural society and w September she competed in the Miss Mid -Western Pageant in Lucknow. In February, she attended -the Agriculture Conference in Toronto and was present for the Terry Sumsion dance in Clinton during May. And at this year's fair she was the master of cerenionies for the baby show before ha ding over her crown to Rhonda Lobb. Karen sums the year' up with an en- thusiastic, "It was fun."
