ELEANOR GROVE Your new neighbour The coffers of 540's building fund will soon be enriched. Apparently the women's bowling league enjoyed the banquet laid on by the men for them at the conclusion of last years bowling season. What happens, this year? Both women's bowling leagues have requested the men of Branch 540 to prepare and serve their banquets. We have accepted the challenge. Now when our Chief Chef Comrade Bill Smith calls for volunteers stand up and be counted. Sure its a lot of work but is a lot of fun as well. The bowlers of Branch 540 will invade the Lucan Lanes for the third time this season. That's right folks by popular request we will hold a mixed bowling party on Sunday, March 24. Starting time 3.00 p.m. sharp - Come on over to the Legion prior to that time so we can get the teams arranged and get the games started on time. Following the meet there will be the presentation of prizes. and I use the word "prizes" advisedly at Branch 540 and a pot luck dinner. If you are interested drop over to the lounge and place your name on the list or just give the boys a call at 227-4751 and they will be happy to do it for you. Remember if you intend to bowl don't forget to bring along enough eats for at least two. To date the eats at these do's have been fabulous. Make it a point to at- tend, the eats alone makes it worthwhile attending. Don't forget Commander Bill Smith's, Zone A 5 meeting to be held at Branch 540 on Sunday, April 15. Keep this date open and make it a point to attend. Bring your lady along and make a day of it. Once again we remind our delinquent Comrades to please get their dues paid prior to the end of March. This is the dead line Comrades for after this date your subscription for the 'Legion' will terminate, as will your voice in Legion affairs. You will also lose your right to vote in the forthcoming elections or have the privelege to nominate the Comrades you feel best able to look after the affairs of your Branch of the Legion. It is human nature to disagree; however this is no reason to neglect payment of dues to the finest organization conceived. Remember what our organization stands for - Remember our aims and objects - Remember the price, our Comrades paid - Remember all these things and I feel sure you will have no difficulty in remembering to pay your Legion dues. And that's 30 for this week - remember - Don't Judge a man by his speech, for a parrot talks and the tongue is but an in- strument of sound.
