Branch 109 is preparing for annual poppy campaign BY NEIL SHAW With the observance of Remembrance Day rapidly approaching, Goderich Legion Branch 109 is already thinking "Poppy". Branches of the . Royal Canadian Legion in every city and town. from coast to coast are preparing to distribute pop- pies to their members and `i'.1w ciLiza of Lhis,�tiodi. It was in 1931 after con- tinued representation from the Legion, that Parliament amended the Armistice Day Act so that November 11 could be set aside as a day distinct and apart from any other observance upon which the nation, could pay special tribute td those "who gave their lives that our freedoms might prevail". In 1970 an Act known as the Holidays Act was passed by Parliament which included, among other holidays, Rarrt,�rnbclnce Day. This Act reads as follows - "Throughout Canada in each and every year, the llth day of November being the day of the year on which the Bank note key chains are illegal says OPP Selling keychains with miniature copies of Canadian foreign bank notes is illegal according to an expert on counterfeit money with the Ontario Provincial Police Anti -Rackets Branch. The keychains are novelty items with' four separate colored replicas of paper currency used as a fob. The copies are printed on white plastic sheets, with the face of the note on ,one side and the appropriate Canadian scene on the back. The copies are about one quarter the size of a normal bill and come complete with serial numbers. One example of the keychain uses copies of Canadian one dollar, two dollar, five dollar and 10. dollar bills, but United States currency is also used. Storekeepers may be asked to return the merchandise to their suppliers. An alternate approach may be to seize stocks of the keychains so that they can be destroyed. Members of the public who have purchased the keychains are not likely to be prosecuted as possession of a single such item cannot be construed as publishing. The ,keychains are manufactured in Taiwan, and the co-operation of the printer has been obtained in order to stop further im- portation of the goods. Under Section 415 of the Criminal Code, it is an of- fence to print or publish anything in the likeness of ria-dtarr or Carr ergn eurree t "- paper paper money. Government law officers state that selling; the novelty key chains constitutes publishing. Police forces ' across Ontario have been advised that it is desirable to stop sale of the keychains.

Present thinking would abolish November 11 as an official holiday in the schools of Canada but on this school day special services would be held to mark November 11. As Remembrance is one of the foundation blocks that sets the Legion apart from other service clubs such as the Lions or the Rotary Club, the Royal Canadian Legion will always observe Remem- brance Day on the llth hour of the 11th day of November each year. In 1981 distribution in Canada was nearly 12 million poppies. The total revenue donated to the pop- py funds of Legion Branches across Canada was $1,408,514 last year. Remember that you can- not buy a poppy but you can make a donation to the pop- py box during the poppy campaign which commences in our area on November 4 this year, Wear a poppy during Pop- py Week in memory of the 110,000 Canadians who gave their tomorrows for our todays.
