Some of the highlights were - first, the per capita tax per Legion member was raised from 40 cents to 51.15. This sounds like a big jump but most branches are charging somewhere in the 520 a year membership so a 51.15 Zone per capita tax docs not sound too much to your P.R.O. Zone Chairman Glenn Bridge said Clair Wall will not be Service Officer anymore. Why the powers -that -be have to change something most of us thought was going pretty good, (probably too good for government agencies) is a mystery. We will now have a service officer from Windsor instead of London and will probably have to journey to another branch for a hearing. This seems rather strange with so many of the war veterans now reaching the age of retirement and a case load much greater than we had in previous years for the service officer. In our branch this past week three teams went to the Zone Euchre Tournament but only one team is eligible to go to the District tournament. Clinton won it with Goderich and Seaforth coming in second and third respectively. The comrades attending this euchre enjoyed the hospitality of the Brussels branch and all returned home early.
