Special thanks to those who donated gifts and vouchers for our spot dances and door prizes and anyone who was involved in any way, Thanks Coaches & Manager of the Granton Kittens Carl Nickles, Carl Dunlop and Les Parnall By SID DALEY Attended the District A Con- vention at Windsor over the weekend, sure nice to greet old and meet new Comrades. Zone A5 was well represented with only one branch not having representation, pretty good I'd say, Sure great to look out over the river and see the Jake freighters `making way' up the St, Clair River, did you note the "salty" expression 'making way,' ahem. There wasn't anything of a contentious nature discussed, however we were reminded by D,V,A. there have been some changes in legislation that can effect our comrades on War Veterans Allowance and as a result recommend comrades in receipt of W.V.A. to contact their branch service officer as it could very well be to their advantage. Legislation is also less restrictive with relation to the Veterans Land Act and if you are in- terested in this aspect of veterans benefits it may also be to your benefit to enquire. The con- vention delegates were privileged indeed to have as their guest speaker the Minister of Veterans Affairs, his address was most informative and promising. Got a sage quote from an old friend which is well worth repeating 'Men are born with two eyes and one tongue in order that they should see twice as much as they say.' What a great world it would be if we did. Say Comrades, 540 had a great turn out for the April general meeting — keep up the good work.

Thirteen members answered the roll call. Weight losses were excellent. Final plans were made for the convention to be held in Toronto in May. getting to that crucial period, Elections. Have your say with a ballot and don't complain of your displeasure as to who is elected to the various positions if you don't take the time to exercise your Legion right — Vote As You Please But Vote — This is your Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, remember we are all good guys, but sometimes just being a 'good guy' is not the prime requisite of a branch president or executive member — look well to your ballots Comrades and let Branch 540 have the best slate of officers ever. Saturday, April 22 is the date of your annual hockey dance, Clare Stanley is supplying the music and lunch will be served. Support this effort folks and help the legion help minor hockey in your town. What You Want is What You Get — that's 540 policy — You want Slim Gordon you get Slim Gordon — by popular demand we are happy to announce Slim will return to Branch 540 on Saturday May 13. Due to the number that greeted him the last time, and to allow space for your dancing pleasure, it has been decided to hold this entertainment in the main hall upstairs. Now here is the catch — ad- mission will be by ticket only and these will be limited in number. Now if you do not want to be disappointed get your tickets early from either Smilin' Carl or Li'l Len in the Sea Land and Air Lounge. Plans are progressing well for the Women's Bowling Banquet to be catered to on Wednesday May 3, by the Comrades of 540 — We feel there are a few pleasant surprises in store for the ladies — however, they will have to wait to learn what they are. Don't forget dad May 12 is the date you must keep open to take your son to the Annual Father and Son Banquet at Branch 540. Don't disappoint him now, he is looking forward to the night out with you. And that's 30 for this week Remember — Thanks to Women's lib, now we have Herstory and History.
