Like many young 'men in
Seaforth, Ken Cardno grew
up playing Legion hockey.
Jack Eisler coached ' me all
the : way through, he says
with a smile.
That's one of the .reasons
that Ken was quick to. join
Branch. 156 in 1971' after
.associate members, children
of ex -service people, were
accepted.
He's valued his Legion
membership ever since. In a
way he's "paying them.
back" for all the time and
money Legion members put
into recreation in Seaforth:
when he was'a kid, Ken says.
On the Legion's member-
ship committee for six years,
Ken says the local branch is
very accepting of .associates,
very "liberal and progres-
sive.,.
Longtime. Legion members
are very willing to share
responsibility for therunning:
of the branch, • recognizing
that eventually "it's, uswho
are going to have to do: it,"
he adds. More membersare
welcome and Ken would like
to see more associate mem-
bers get really involved here:
Ken says he . enjoys the
club ' atmosphere at the:.
Legion and calls. it "close.
knit and: friendly." Nearly
every noon hour he has a
game of crib, mostly with. the
.same group of regulars.
"If you need help in or out
of the Legion, thosehere are
the first to offer," he says.
Longtime Legion members:
, Bill O'Shea and Jake Cornish
persuaded Ken to join as. an
associate member.. And he's '
never regretted his decision.
"I' am pleased to have the
opportunity to congratulate
the Seaforth Legion Branch
156 on its 50th anniversary.
The Legion has contributed
to the Townand to the,
community, and has added
stability and strength to the
community over the years.
"The Legion :is well known
for itscontribution to .com-
munity service work, and the
dedication of its members
and the volunteer work; which
is done on behalf of the
community is noted: and
appreciated.
"On behalf of the people
whom 1 • represent in the
Ontario Legislature from the
Riding of Huron -Bruce I offer
my congratulations and best
wishes to the Seaforth Legion
on this very important
occasion,"
