Mrs. Barbara Ann Mclaughlin proposed the toast to Fallen Comrades; Douglas Moore, to the Queen, and Bob Spadoni, to the Ladies" Auxiliary. Mr. Caccamo drew a gale of laughter centred around local humour when he introduced Reeve F .V. Harness as one who had discovered the value of the old saw - if you can't beat 'em - join 'em!, and, congratulated him on the family addition of a first granddaughter. Mr. Harness, commended the Legion for the inter- est and support of youth activities, their arrange- ments each year for the Remembrance service, stu- dent scholarsips awards, and various other ways in which they support their community. He felt their proposed addition to the Legion, will fill a want in the town. Father F.J. Meyer, said Mr. Caccamo, apart from his clerical duties, will adjust easily in the community, being a hockey enthusiast. Father Meyer, thanked the Legion for being able to take part in the Remembrance Day service, and, for the honour of being appointed as their padre. Father Meyer, the guest speaker, spoke on the generation gap (so-called) which exists between youth and adults of today. The gap, he said, has always existed, and was bridged-in the past, so the root of the problem must be explored: how was it done in the past? What is the younger generation looking for now? Mrs. Georgine Davis, president of the Legion Ladies Auxiliary, thanked the members for their support, and mentioned the passing of two members. Gerry Nicol, Legion president, gave a compre- hensive review of the year's activities = funds spent in donations to community activities; the contribu= tion made by the ladies auxiliary, the inaugural district picnic this year. He also, at length, ; said the future of the Legion depends on the apprec- iation of its members on their appreciation of being a member. He announced the date of the joint installation of officers for December 10 and 19 for the annual children's party. Mr. Caccamo paid special tribute to Fred Gould, who for years, has been the Legion bugler at the Remembrance Day service, Mrs. Gabriel Martin the convener of this banquet, and those responsible for the successful Poppy canvas.
