Shown above waiting to get free refreshments from Lion Jim Freeman are Teresa Spruyt, Richie Moss and Diane Ryan. T-A photo Lions field day results Here I am back comrades, however I must confess I am not with it as yet but friend Ross says `Comments' must go on' anyone would think he was in show biz, Anyway here goes, First let me tell you a little about our trip. Needless to say it was just wonderful even tho' we had showers every day, no wonder everything is so green, four weeks and four weeks showers? Nevertheless our spirits were not dampened a wit, Dad and I found quite a change from war time England, many of the old spots have gone to be replaced by highrises. However never fear, Comrades, Lord Nelson still stands on top of his column, overseeing Trafalgar Square which is still guarded by four lions and countless pigeons; The changing of the guard is still a spectacular which is witnessed by thousands daily; the Tower of London is still in the same place as is the Crooked Billet on Tower Hill where I used to quaff a couple in the old days, remember Tower Bridge over the Thames still the same as is Old Ben, the Parliament Buildings, West- minister Abbey, St. Pauls Cathedral, Canterbury Cathedral, we got around Comrades, The lovely country roads are still as narrow as you remember with the trees on either side meeting over top, Also visited the impressive Naval Memorial on Chatham Downs dedicated to the memory of naval personnel who lost their lives in two wars, there were just literally thousands upon thousands of names, Thankgoodness the old pub was the same with the friendly Englishmen enjoying his pint and making his Canadian friends Thank goodness the old pub was the same with the friendly Englishman enjoying his pint and making sure his Canadian friends didn't go short. I watched many a dart game with awe, double in double out, nothing to it for those 'blokes,' it appeared as tho' the games were finished before they started; yep they still play dominos and every pub and British Legion etc. have, what we used to call, 'one armed bandits' (slot machines). We spent most of our time in England, however we did make a side trip to Paris. France and who ever would want to be a policeman over there, I am referring to traffic, must be a special type of person. We took a couple of taxis while there and all I can say is that traffic is nothing but a tangled mess. While in France we visited my brother's grave at Etreville, a quaint little French village about 6 miles from Pont-Audemer where we stayed for a couple of days, Although there was a bit of a language barrier there was always some person available to help us out. Again we- were treated royally - and say you army types remember that old favourite drink (I use the word advisedly) Calvados - still tastes Sunshine club The Sunshine Club met at Masonic Hall Thursday with Mrs, Harry Bond Sr. presiding. Euchre was enjoyed by four- teen members present. One member brought a game to play and prize which was won by Olga Bond and Vi Emery. Lunch was provided, by Vi Hardy and Lillian King. ‘Artv2le" the same and burns all the way down, We also visited Ireland, Dublin to be exact, here we received the same treatment. Incidentally they expressed concern as to what is happening in the northern part of their country, In fact dad and I have friends in Belfast and expressed a desire to visit with them - however our friends of the south advised against it and we heeded. Again we thought it nice to try a Guinesse in the city where it is manufactured and visited a local pub to this end. I took along a few of Lucan's Centennial Shamrocks and made it known that I lived in an Irish village in Ontario, Canada known as Lucan, When I was advised by a local 'Shure lad and you must be visitin' Lucan in Ireland prior to leavin',-tis only up the road about 9 miles,' We did, immediately went out hired a taxi, visited Lucan a lovely wee place and as you may have guessed centered around the Lucan Inn, which we visited. Needless to say our remaining Centennial Shamrocks didn't last long, having left some in England, Wrance and Ireland, Lucan, Ontario will be long remembered. All in all Comrades it was a grand trip, we were well received wherever we went, as apparently are all Canadians. In closing may I add if all the people I invited come to visit - poor Hilda (that's my wife.) Now back to Branch 540 news. As you probably know monthly meetings have been recessed for July and August, this by no stretch of the imagination means .that all activity around 540 has been suspended. Friday June 23 at 8.00 p.m. Comrade Zone Commander W. Smith will be on hand to install Branch 540's new president and his executive, following' the ceremonies those attending are invited to remain for an evening of Dancing and comradeship, This is an open meeting and the public are cordially invited to attend. Hear that Comrade Ross, hope to see you at 540 along with your camera. Sounds like a fun nite. Branch 540's Comrades Dickson, J. Elson, R. Nadon, E. Knoblauch and B. Smith jour- neyed to Wardsville and took part in the Legion Zone A5 Golf tournament (a fivesome - well - anything can happen in a Legion Tournament) anyway the lads had an enjoyable time and believe it or not came home with a trophy, at least Comrade J. Elson did - the most honest The Lucan Lions staged their annual field day Saturday with more than 400 youngsters par- ticipating.

' We hear from the grapevine that Comrade Elson left 3 brand new golf balls and a golf club in a certain water hole on the course - wonder why. 540's second annual hill billy open horse shoe tournament was held Sunday at Roy (Hillbilly) Hodgins farm, it was a tremendous success with over 150 men, women and children in attendance. Out of this number 50 men, 8 women and 7 juniors took part in competition. Once again our good friends from Molson's in the person of Larry Gee was present. Branch 540 is most in- debted to these lovely people for their kindness in supplying the many trophies. Comrade Gord Elson, sports officer, on behalf of Branch 540 expresses his thanks to the many Comrades and their ladies, too numerous to mention by name for their assistance in making the tournament the great success that it was. The winners were - group A, Tim Smith, Monkton; group B, L. Venner, Hensall; group C, A Con, Lakeside, group D, Ron Ander- son, Exeter; Ladies; Beverly Ellis, Thamesville and the junior winner was Doug Harburn, St. Marys. Branch 540 would also like to take this opportunity to thank all Comrades who assisted in anyway to make the car wash held Saturday June 17 a success. To the folks who attended and had a car wash Branch 540 thanks you as do the young ball players on whose behalf the project was held. And that's 30 for this week - remember - If children did not ask questions - how else would they find out how little adults really know?
