The day was • I dreary but as Rev. Mark entered the sanctuary, the rain ceased and the sun shone brightly. We hope this will be a good omen of our year ahead, as this was the first service following the summer vacation. We are aware that Rev. Mark has had a busy time though, it was to have been his vacation. The congregation was called to worship and responsive reading began the service. Following the sanctus, Rev. Mark gave the prayer of adoration. The congregation recited the Lord's Prayer. Several hymns were sung, some new and some older but all very fine ones. Rev. Mark offered the prayer of illumination, and read three Old Testament readings and the Gospel Lesson. His sermon was most interesting and of deep meaning, regarding the true meaning of the church. The ascription of praise preceded the prayers of the people. The of- fering, doxology and dedication over, the final hymn was sung. The plant on the communis' table was placed in memory of Mrs. Aldeen Volland who passed away three years ago. The flowers on the small tables were placed there by the wedding party of Saturday September 8, newlyweds Mr. and Mrs. Hoggarth. The Presbyterian church women will meet on Monday, September 16.

Oxford photo Branch 156 to celebrate 1990 Legion Week LEGION NEWS by Gordon Scott September 16 - 22 has been named "Legion Week" by the On- tario Provincial Command. In- dividual Branches across Ontario have been asked to ensure that the surrounding community has been made aware of the impact local Branches have in their com- munities. Seaforth Branch 156 received its charter in 1929 and since then has been an influence in Seaforth. The Legion's main reason for existence, is of course, for the Veterans of two World Wars and Korea, but its involvement in minor sports and now senior citizens has always been a main issue. During the week of September 16 and 22, the Branch will be open to the public to view the memorabilia that has been collected by Comrade Frank Phillips. Entertainment has been planned for each day or evening. On Sun- day, the Branch is holding a dinner from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. for the public. Monday afternoon will be euchre in the hall and in the evening, cribbage in the lounge. Tuesday evening darts has been planned and on Wednesday the Ladies Auxiliary will host an after- noon tea in the upstairs hall. Thursday evening there will be the first meeting of the new season. A Lawn Bowling night is planned for the Friday evening and in case of inclement weather cards will be played. Lunch will also be available. The Branch hopes the public will avail themselves of this entertain- ment that has been planned. Comrade Al Nicholson, chairman of the membership committee, informs members that the Early Bird campaign is now under way. Please be an early -bird and pay your dues as soon as possible. To our Comrades in hospital or sick at home, "Get well soon". Bar Roster.

Branch 156 received its Charter in 1929 when Veterans of the First World War formed from what was known then as the Great War Veterans Association. During the years since, the main reason for its existence was service for the Veteran. However, sports for youth has always been a priority and Saturday morning hockey was first instigated by the Legion under the able leadership of Jack Eisler, Don Woods and Mel Melanson, to name a few. The Legion's quarters were first in the Post Office, then later Cardno's Hall. A donation of $10,000 helped the Legion acquire rooms in what was Seaforth's first Community Centre. As the Legion's need for more room was growing FREE SWIM - Members of the Seaforth and Diarict Minor Bag Association enjoy a free swim at Lions Park as part of their Wrap Up Day party September 9 Oxford photo. all the time, it was decided to build to our present Legion Hall. In the spring of 1960 the Branch held its official opening. Over the years, the building has had several improvements along with the addition of a good parking lot. Today, our commitment to various charities and donations to organizations is in the $20,000 range. Senior Citizens are now a priority in the Legion portfolio with aid going to the aging Veteran from numerous Government sources. Branch 156 is only one Legion within a Zone, with four Zones making up a District, and a number of Districts answering to a Provin- cial Command which in turn forms the Dominion Command. As the Veterans are growing older and many are disappearing from the scene, sons and daughters are being made Associate members with voting rights. The Legion is a strong or- ganization and will remain one well into the 21st Century. Branch 156 has a very strong Ladies Auxiliary which was formed in 1952 and which has been serving and catering for many years in our Banquet hall. We owe our Ladies more than we can ever repay them for their hard work and their contribution to the Aims and ob- jects of the Royal Canadian Legion. Legion Week will be celebrated this year the week of September 16 to 22. Many activities are planned including a Sunday dinner open to the public, and Afternoon tea hosted by the Ladies Auxiliary. At the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them.
