We only had 18 members present which is a very poor showing. Why Legion meetings are so low on members priorities is rather difficult to define. You belong to one of the largest organizations in the Dominion of Canada. An organization totally commit- ted to the present day welfare of the veteran and his spouse and by far has been responsible for Government pensions than any country of the world, not to mention their commitment to the community as a whole. Let's give it a little more thought in the future Comrades. Plans for the week of November 11 were discussed and much' the/ same format as other years will be used again. The Poppy drive will be held Sunday, November 3 in the afternoon — weather permitting. Canvas- sers will please meet at the Branch at 1:30 p.m. (The time is uncertain as yet). if we all show up the town could be canvassed in less than two hours. Comrade Gordon Beutten- miller will have more next week on the subject. On Saturday, November 9, the Veteran's Banquet will be held at the Legion Hall. Tickets are now on sale and everyone's name is on somebody's list to contact. If by chance your name is missed, tickets can be bought at the Legion. Please don't wait till the last minute to get yours. The Ladies would like to know how many are going to be present a few days in advance. On Sunday, November 10 our annual Church parade will be held. Parade will form up at 10:30 a.m. at the Legion and march to the United Church for the Remembrance service. On Remembrance Day November 11 a parade will be held. We will have more on this next week. If the weather is too severe the service will be held in the Legion Hall. in the evening a potluck supper will be held for members and their guests. The Provincial Service Officer will be at the Branch on October 29. Anyone wishing an interview please contact our local Service Officer Cleave Coombs for an appointment. if any veteran or widows are in doubt as to what they are entitled too, this is your opportunity to find out. On behalf of the members I would like to take this opportunity to offer our sympathies to the McGrath family in their loss of a brother-in-law Joseph Norman Smith. To his wife and family we regret their less of a husband and father. Branch 156 held a Legion service Sunday, October 13. They grow not old as we that are left grow old. Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them. -Gordon Scott, P.RO.
