For the members of Legion Braneh 109 preparations necessary to con- duct the annual poppy canvass of the com- munity and the services of Remembrance are now complete. As one phase of the poppy campaign local organizations and business concerns have been contacted to either purchase a wreath or donate to the poppy fund. Poppy boxes will be found in many locations throughout the community as of Nov. r1 to enable in- dividuals to contribute to the Legion poppy fund. Legion canvassers will be located at strategic locations in town on the afternoon and evening of Friday Nov. 7 and on the morning and afternoon of Saturday Nov. 8. For any donation of $5.00 or more you may ci:CCive a receipt for inetime ta,: purposes. To obtain a receipt from the poppy fund con- tact Howard Carroll, the Branch 109 poppy chairman. The distribution of poppies is the main source of revenue for the poppy fund and your generous support of this fund is requested. Donations to the poppy fund are held in a trust account. Poppy campaign expenses are limited to the purchase of poppies, wreaths and administration which is relatively low as all work connected with the poppy campaign is done by volunteers. The use of the poppy fund is limited to the following items: - emergency assistance to veterans and their dependents, comforts for veterans in hospital, remembrance of veterans and their widows at Christmas, prizes for the Legion poems and essay con- test on the Remembrance theme, the cost of operating the Service Bureau which helps vets to secure pensions and medical aid, the annual branch bursaries which assists those needing aid to continue their education, and donations to purchase local hospital equip- ment. This is the only time of the year that Legion Branches appeal to the community for financial aid.

Amnesty International meeting On Tuesday evening, Kae Webster went to the Pine River Church with Linda Campbell to attend the October meeting of , Amnesty International. It was an interesting and informative meeting with this week set aside as Amnesty International Week. There were letters read from approximately 10 prisoners from different parts of the world who were arrested, tortured and held in jail for long periods of time without a trial or even a hearing. Their arrests, com- pared to our standards, were for trivial. things. Rhetta MacLennan was in London on Wednesday for her first check-up since she was released from hospital after a hip replacement. Kae Webster spent a couple of days in Waterloo with her sons Cecil and Jim Webster and visited with her friends Bob and Elsie Zarnke, also of Waterloo.
