( photo by Susan Hundertmark ► As the Royal Canadian Legion this year celebrates across Canada its 60th anniver- sary a special effort is being made by Goderich Legion Branch 109 to mark this season of Remembrance which occurs from Nov tuber 3rd to llth. The Branch 109 poppy committee, led by comrades Howard Carroll and John Duckworth, is now busy bringing together the many aspects of the poppy campaign that make for another successful distribu- tion of poppies and wreaths and well - attended services of remembrance. All organizations and business concerns in the community have been contacted to again purchase a wreath for display at the cenotaph or make a donation to the Legion poppy fund. A special Branch bulletin to all members will be requesting their full par- ticipation in the Branch poppy canvass and their presence at both the Branch church and cenotaph parades. A successful poppy canvass is especially important if the Branch is to carry on this veteran and community related program which is financed from the poppy trust ac- count. Last year the contributions to the poppy fund enabled the Branch to distribute this fund as follows- $1,000 to Parkwood hospital in London for veterans comforts not otherwise supplied; $1,400 to Branch 109 bursaries to assist local students in their education beyond the high school level; $525 to award prizes to local students who entered the Legion Poems essay and Poster contest which stresses the theme of remem- brance and citizenship, and $2,861 to the Alexandra and Marine General hospital for needed medical equipment. Legion members and citizens may make a donation to the Branch 109 poppy fund. All doantions of $5,00 and over are eligible for an income tax receipt. Contributions to the poppy fund may be made during the annual canvass by Branch members on Sunday, Nov. 3 or to the poppy boxes which will be located in many business outlets in our com- munity.
