It moved across the street and thereto its present loca- tion. Marie Walker, daughter of Joseph and Eileen Walker, RR 4, Wingham, commenced duties as postmistress when Mrs, Smith left.

Legion Week is June 26 -July 2 The Canadian Legion, active for over 50 years and containing members from every walk of life, will be celebrating Legion •Week June 26 -July 2. This is a time to call attention to some of its pro- grams and concerns. A Legion member's first concern is with the continuing welfare of veterans and their dependants, Paralleling this is a sincere commitment to remem- bering those who made the supreme sacrifice of laying down their lives in time of war. The Legion also concerns itself with ai.ding sports, such as hockey and baseball, and other worthwhile community' projects. In many areas it supports army cadet corps, air cadet squadrons and navy cadets. It is a . goal of the 'Wingham branch of the Legion, in co-opera- tion with other organizations, to start a block parent program in town by this fall. This is a pro- gram to help protect the children in the town.. The Legion hopes the sons and daughters, now called associate members, will strive to keep the vows and help their fellow -mem- bers perform the various duties of the Legion. "In the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them".
