The guest speaker, Ross Paterson, Second Vice President of Ontario Command, gave an interesting speech on Remembrance and the Legion. Comrade Paterson and his wife were guests of the Branch from Friday until Sunday.' Other out-of-town guests included District Commander Glen Bridge and his wife Jean, Zone Commander Steve MacGuire and his wife Dianne, Evelyn Carrot 1st Vice Presi- dent of the Ladies Auxiliary 'Ontario Com- mand and her husband,Howard and Mary Hawn Zone Commander C.1 and her hus- band Harley.

They further accused the people at the top of Canada Post of not having a clue of what goes on in rural postal services. The villagers questionnedwhy why terms of the contract Canada Post would .want with a Brucefield businessman would allow the postage officials 24 hour access to a post office operator's home, and deny any liabili- ty for damage done in gaining entry. This they see as a violation of personal rights. They also wanted to know why Canada Post was starting to make .cutbacks at the bot- tom, and wanted to know how much of a cut in salary Mr. Talbot and Mr. Munn took when the cutbacks were made. The people of Brucefield nailed the representatives down on most of the issues and, although they were by no means satisfied with what they heard, they know where they stand. If there is nobody in Brucefield who will make a commitment to taking over the post office, they will be travelling to Clinton to handle their mail den rain squall and had to be cancelled at the last minute. A bus took all the members to the Church at Egmondville where a Remembrance Service was held. Both President Jim Watson and Padre Major Frank Golding participated in the service. After returning to the Branch, the members participated in the Legion's Poppy Drive under the direction of Comrade Dave Cor- nish. -President -Jim -would -like to ..thank -all_ the members for their help and the residents of Seaforth, Harpuhay Egmondville and the Heritage Estates for their generous contributions. On Wednesday, November 11 members will meet at the Legion and the parade will move off at 10:30 a.m. to the Cenotaph for the Remembrance Service.. Anyone carry- ing wreaths please be early enough to pick your wreath up. In the evening a -pot -luck supper will be held around 6, p.m. All members and their wives are cordially in- vited to attend. The winners of the Early -Bird draw for the month of October are Bob Newnham,'Vi- vian Newnham, Ellen Murphy and Charles Geddes. The two season tickets to the Jr. D hockey games were won by Jim Sills but have been donated back to the Branch. The early -bird campaign is now standing at thirty-six per cent. Therewill be an Executive meeting this Thursday at 8 p.m. and a General meeting of the members on Thursday, November 19 • at 8 p.m. After this meeting a seminar will be held by Gordon De Jong on I.eadeesliip. Comrade Gord' would like to see a good representation of Associate members at this meeting, to be held right after the general meeting. At the going down of the sun and in the. morning, we will Remember them. way to the next patch of bush. On the way Larry Dolmage told me a lot about hunting in the area. He said there are? a surprising amount of people around who are dead set against deer hunting, or hun- ting altogether, and think it should be a crime to kill an anuna as cute as a -deer. But then there are a lot of farmers around who like to see a deer or goose bite it. Deer love to eat corn and they can take a lot away from•a farmer, and geese eat winter wheat. Mr. Dolmage says 10 geese can pack away as much as a'cow in a day. There is nothing that strikes one as being particularly immoral about hunting when you are actually out there. I know I ex- pected it to be a lot more gorey than it really is. Cleaning a deer is by no ..means something you would want to have on video business. And their mail will be delivered to their boxes from Clinton, which means it will have a hard time getting through in the winter because the roads between Clinton and Brucefield are so bad. MPP Murray Cardiff was present at the assembly in response to the many letters which he received from Brucefield residents. "To maintain rural service that we have had and that we are entitled to changes have to be made," said Mr. Cardiff adding "deficits have cost us all a lot of money in taxes and we have an obligation to reduce the debt in this country." ' On the other hand Mr. Cardiff said he has yet to meet a rural courier who is paid what he should be paid. He ended by stating the representatives were going away from the meeting with a very strong message, and had a lot to tell their superiors. It now remains to be seen whether the post officials will be able to find someone in Brucefield who is willing to operate the post office.

Hunting is a natural thing that our ancestors had to do on a regular basis for survival. There is nothing I could see that is immoral in it. And if government agencies feel there are enough animals around for us to add some meat -to our-freezers,why-not—Just beeause— an animal is cute it doesn't mean it can't have a negative effect on the eco -system. At the next bush the hunters beat they did considerably better. I was once again in the wrong place with the wrong hunter when the shooting started. Mr. Dolmage and I were on the wrong side of a stream and could only curse our bad luck that neither of us would get a chance to shoot anything that day. We made it back in time to find the rest of the hunters had brought down another big buck and a doe. So all totalled the group came out of the four day hunting season in Huron County with two buck, weighing 201 and 209 pounds, two doe weighing 98 and 111 pounds, and a spike buck weighing 74 lbs. According to ministry officials the biggest buck taken in Huron County this year weighed 257 pounds. The ministry believes about 75 per cent of the hunters in the coun- ty got themselves a deer this season. • This successful season has come to a close in Huron County. Many hunters will be heading up north to get in on longer seasons, and the rest will have to wait until next year.
