All of the teachers including Principal Fred Berdan were on By SID DALEY Over the weekend it was my pleasure to attend the Provincial full executive council meeting in Toronto, sure nice to greet with my old Comrades and meet some new. During the meeting some very interesting things came to light. The Provincial Secretary advised everything was laid on for the Dominion Convention of the Legion to convene in Newfoundland the first week in June. Early registrations show that to date 545 accredited (voting) delegates have registered with two districts yet to be heard from. Institute make plans for coming year The members of the standing committees and the branch directors met Monday evening at the home of the new president, Mrs. James Lockyer, to plan the programs for the 1974-75 year.

Comrades I predict the island will register 'tilt' when we all muster in St. Johns. Another notable item was the passing of a motion made by the Poppy chairman and his com- mittee to donate $21,000.00 from the Ontario Poppy Trust Fund for the purpose of research into the unborn. It is felt the unborn will be our citizens and leaders of tomorrow and much is to be learned during the fetus stage etc., what are the causes of mental retardation for example, can this be detected and treated during the fetus stage, can it be prevented. There are many other aspects of research required. Apparently there is no other source for money in this area of research. I am sure you will be hearing more of this project. But there you are folks, just another instance of the Legion's foresight into the welfare of Canada's future generations and the Legion's Poppy Fund at work for the good of the Nation. May I point out this money is coming from the Ontario Poppy Trust Fund but will be for the benefit of all Canadians. When service personnel read and hear of the great work the Legion is doing it is hard to un- derstand why they don't flock to the colors and become a part of the organization and those who were members and are in arrears of their dues or `drop-outs', why not give the situation a second look and get back in there and help your branch of the Legion with their community projects. Now Hear This — Now Hear This — Wednesday, May 8,1974 at 8:30 p.m. is one of the most important days in your Legion calendar for it is here you will have the op- portunity to cast your ballot for the Comrades you feel most fit to run the affairs of your branch of the Legion for the next 12 months. The executive urge that you make every effort to be in at- tendance and then Vote As You Please But Get Out And Vote. Have your say by ballot the democratic way and not in the lounge. Let's have a good election Comrades and keep the Legion strong and healthy. And that's 30 for this week remember — The trouble with all this overall planning — it doesn't seem to offer much more for the guy in overalls. when 94 visitors signed the guest book at Biddulph School.
