At the Branch Writer shares some facts, history about poppy By Jo-Ann McDonald It was busy last week at the Brussels Legion Branch. - The regular monthly general meet- ing was held on Monday night. Upcoming events concerning the vet- eran's and school children were dis- cussed and the child video program . There was a joint executive meet- ing with the Ladies Auxiliary on Wednesday evening and there were only a few out to play crib. The every other Wednesday crib nights will be Brussels kdgns. settle into routine The Brussels kindergarten stu- dents are getting used to the routines at school. They are working on the letters S and T and also made apple people. Grade Is are looking at the signs of fall and in math they are starting with addition. The Grade 2/3 class is studying growth and change in plants. This week the kindergartens to Grade 3 are going to see Cinderella in Blyth. On Friday, seven of the students travelled to Mitchell to compete in the regional cross-country run. These students finished in the top four at the run held by Brussels at the Wingham Golf Course. Student council has also held its elections and the following students won: president, Amy Bishop; vice- president, Jill Johnston; treasurer, Amber Sellers; secretary, Catherine Rushton and social events co-ordina- tor, Cory Chapman. Congratulations to you all, for a mixed crowd so everyone is welcome to attend at 8 p.m. Friday night's supper of sweet and sour chicken was delicious and a great crowd attended. This week is roast pork. We congratulate Glen and Eileen Sellers who celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary at the Branch on Saturday evening. They had a wonderful crowd of family, friends and neighbours enjoy the evening. There were three teams of crib players off to play in Blyth on Saturday as well. Two of the teams will go on to District play including Ken and Linda Bird, Bob and Margo - Richardson, John Wright, Jim Alton, Glenn Bridge and Lloyd Glanville. Congrats to you all. Our sympathy to Comrade Gary Dauphin whose brother passed away last week. Our thoughts go out to him and his family. You. will have seen by now that poppies are available around town. The poppy became famous as a sym- bol of remembrance after 1915, when army doctor John McCrae wrote a poem about red poppies blowing betweetr the rows of crosses of Canadian soldiers who had died in the First World War. Poppies are available for approxi- mately two weeks before Rem,..,mbrance Day. The poppy is to be worn on the left lapel above the heart. It can be worn all day on Nov. 11 and then it shall be taken off. People aftending Remembrance Day Services are invited to place their poppy at the cenotaph as an act of honouring and remembering our fallen soldiers. During the last century over 116,000 Canadians have died to help us keep our peace and freedom. Poppies are not sold but donations are gratefully accepted. The funds raised are designated for needy Canadian ex-service members and their dependents. They are not used to support the local legion. The funds are held in trust and distributed in accordance with the rules of the trust. For more information and history of the poppy look to the Legion web site at www.legion.ca There will be a door-to-door can- vas on Nov. 6 by the Brussels Legion _members and Cadet Corp. If you can- not afford a donation, we invite you to accept a poppy and remember. The canvas will be from 7 - 9 p.m. on Tuesday evening. . _ Did you know that there are two beds available at Huronlea for long- term care designated for our veterans who served our country so bravely and with such honour.
