Th handed out poppies and ac pted donations on behalf of the vet ns of Wmgham's Branch 180 of he Royal Canadian Legion. The funds raised provide financial assistance to needy Canadian ex - service personnel and their depen- dants. This year's poppy campaign was very successful. The cadets thank the people of Wingham and area for their generous contributions and help in perpetuating the spirit of remembrance. On Sunday, Nov 5, the squadron participated in a church parade and Remembrance Day service at the Salvation Army Citadel. The offi- cers and cadets marched behind the members of the Legion. The service was very inspira- tional and taught the cadets much about the significance of Remem- brance Day and its visual symbol, the poppy. After church, the cadets were treated to snacks at the Legion hall. During the regular parade in the Armouries last Wednesday evening, the cadets performed drill exercises in preparation of the many upcoming Remembrance Day ceremepies. The recruits were instructed in marching patterns, whereas the senior cadets per- formed rifle drill. The cadets were assisted in their maneuvers by Legion Members Bert Morin and Jack Blackwell, both ex -service personnel, who are extremely well qualified in ceremo- nial drill exercises. The cadets took part in memorial services at the E E. Madill Secondary Schools and at cenotaphs in Wingham, Teeswater and Lucknow later in the week. Tomorrow,' Wednesday, the Armouries will be open with squadron personnel in attendance. There will be no formal parade and cadet attendance is optional. Range exercises in preparation for the Dominion of Canada Rifle Associa- tion will be the only formal activity Taw L `'.La64 t�,�.� ;z' 2,h,.: r/f ' erza' SENIORS' DAY CENTRE NEWS N?istr��•..,.aiai.. ly.?;/%76 myH..�iy.". arv` �.�'tA.�r i,..
